If you were to pick four or so genres of music and jumble all of them in some musical blender and pour yourself a song from the blend, you’d come close to something akin to Serotonin by Girl in Red, and you bet that you’ll do your best remembering that recipe.

The unexpected supergroup delivered the first single on Friday March 5th, and to say they blew us all away is a massive understatement.

When the Followills (brother Caleb, Nathan, and Jared and their cousin Matthew) burst onto the scene in the early 2000s, few could have predicted that two decades on they’d become the sort of global super band that sell out arenas in minutes and can stake a legitimate claim to the title of biggest act in the world. But here we are in 2021, and Kings Of Leon are basically there.

Australian singer, songwriter, actor and author Dan Sultan dropped his debut solo album Homemade Biscuits in 2006 at the age of twenty-two, the album which introduced the world to his rich voice, story-filled lyrics and ear for a hook. His second album, Get Out While You Can followed in 2009, and saw him win Best Male Artist and Best Blues And Roots Album at the 2010 ARIA Music Awards. In 2014, he followed that success by claiming Best Rock Album for his third studio album Blackbird, while his 2017 album Killer was nominated for three ARIA awards: Best Male Artist, Best Rock Album, and Best Independent Release.

Little Oblivions is the third album from indie folk rock singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Julien Baker, and it’s a record that continues her journey, building on the simple, heartfelt majesty of her debut, Sprained Ankle, which laid bare stories of self destruction and drug abuse over sparse acoustic guitar and piano, and its follow up Turn Out The Lights, which expanded on its predecessor, sonically and emotionally.

When it comes to old-timey, nostalgic songs, there are very few that can match CMAT’s level of quality. Her soulful voice, all coupled with beautifully intricate production, make songs like her newest single, I Don’t Really Care for You, all the more special.

Amsterdam native singer and songwriter Celine Cairo made her debut with 2013’s self-released Follow EP, produced by Ninja Tune’s Fink. It led to support slots in her homeland with artists including Asgeir, Dodie and Haevn, and to her first international tour in 2014.

When it comes to soul, the genre has been shaped into its modern form by artists such as Sam Smith and Daniel Caesar. However, it’s grown incredibly distant from its roots to an almost indistinguishable degree, but that doesn’t mean that old soul like our grandparents used to enjoy is dead and gone. In fact, Leon Bridges might be the largest force in keeping that energy alive to this day, and he does a better job than ever in his newest single with Keite Young, Like a Ship.

The Melvins played a big part in the development of grunge and sludge metal in the 1980s and early 1990s, and now in their fifth decade together, the veteran rockers are still going strong. Working With God is their 24th album (not including split records) and, though they’ve been through all sorts of personnel changes over the years, this new release finds them back in their original 1983 lineup of Buzz Osborne (vocals / guitars), Dale Crover (bass), and Mike Dillard (drums).

Zara Larsson is emphatically fierce in her latest single, ‘Look What You’ve Done.’ The infectious melody will immediately grasp you and immerse you within its celebratory but slightly wistful atmosphere. Zara has had a lot of success in embedding eighties-themed disco-pop sounds into her tracks, where she usually pairs a modern verve with an intoxicating, devil-may-care attitude.

Geordie rockers Maximo Park threw caution to the wind with their last album Risk To Exist, an angry, acerbic record that took aim at Brexit and Trumpism and marked a significant lyrical shift from frontman Paul Smith. The album was accompanied by a zine that included a contribution from political commentator Owen Jones, and essays from Smith. For fans and critics alike, it was a dramatic transformation from the band that burst onto the scene in the mid-2000s with the swaggering, indie dance pomp of Graffiti and their debut album A Certain Trigger.

American singer and songwriter Madison Beer got her break aged just thirteen when Justin Bieber tweeted a link to Beer’s YouTube cover of Etta James’s At Last, then signed her to Island Records. Her first single Melodies was then released in 2013 (the video featured a cameo from Bieber himself), and Beer began work on her debut album, reported at the time to have pop and R&B influences.
