“I wanted to capture the joy and euphoria of being loved exactly as you are, whilst also keeping it playful, flirty and fun. This song came from realising that this person has a way of reminding me that, right now, this moment is enough. They make me feel fully seen and bring me back to the present.”

“After the fire, Tommy, my best friend and dog, was not the same. She tried to tell me that her body didn’t matter, that our connection was eternal. I told her I didn’t care about our souls—I just wanted to know if her body was OK.”

“My last breakup was so traumatic and difficult for me, it felt almost absurd to write really sad and introspective songs about it. When you step back from situations, you often realise how absurd these were, and this track is really the epitome of that: cynically laughing looking back at your past mistakes.”

“a song for the Shelley in your life, or Duvall, or Percy Bysshe… a boxing match around the kitchen table. Lush country in the creepy sense.”

“To me, this song is really just allowing my darkest inner dialogue to exist outside of myself. I hope getting these words out banishes them. I don’t agree with ageism or body shaming, so why do I do it to myself?”

“For me, ‘THE TURN’ is about the moment after that realisation, when something shifts inside you and you know the next step has to be taken, even if it feels risky.”

Electronic music trailblazer and Ninja Tune signee Chloé Caillet returns with new single “Lemme Dance,” a collaboration with French producer, vocalist and Ed Banger affiliate Myd, out now.

“I wrote this song for Daniel — athletic, self-assured, a beam of light. I imagined going on a run with him. This song came out of me 100 percent complete.”

“Initially, I wrote this all on guitar and a GarageBand drum beat in 2022 or 2023, none of which made it into the final version. I came home from a night with a guy during which I had a pretty unpleasant memory pop up and wig me out during what was supposed to be a fun time. It unlocked a lot of unpleasant memories/anger during what was supposed to be a sexy, fun time, and I wanted to turn it into a celebration of catharsis.”

“The verses are personal , cutthroat and literal. I talk about […] people stuck in the past and the frustration of not being able to choose the cards we get dealt with in life and not knowing whether things are going right or wrong, I’m getting better or worse. ‘am i coming or going cos i can’t tell.’”

“We felt it didn’t have enough grit — until now. We’re super proud of what the track has become; it sounds massive.”

“‘Bitch’ is written from the perspective of someone who refuses to apologize for who they are. It’s both a declaration and a celebration of stepping fully into yourself.”

A gentle, tranquil offering, ‘White Linen’ serves as a tender ode to family, with Austel’s effortless vocals exploring themes of chosen and inherited bonds.

“I think it’s very on brand for me - something that makes you wanna dance with super depressing lyrics. If that’s my legacy, I’ll die happy.”
