On the B List:
Maggie Rogers
âWant Wantâ
Over roaring synths and a driving drum beat, Maggie Rogers makes all of her desires known on her latest offering âWant Wantâ. âAnd if you got a moment, I want-want it,” she sings. “And if you got another hour, I want all of it / Donât wanna wait another moment, I want-want it.â

Myd
âDomino’
Mydâs brand new single âDominoâ is guaranteed to be stuck in your head after your very first listen. That’s thanks to the infectious melody that flows through the entirety of the track and its âna-na-na, na-na-na-naâ hook – it’s another banger from the Ed Banger-signed French artist.

Confidence Man
âLuvin U Is Easyâ
When it comes to dancefloor-ready tunes, you can always count on Confidence Man – and âLuvin U Is Easyâ, taken from the Australian electropop duoâs latest album âTILTâ, is no exception. A track that celebrates love, its Balearic-beat backdrop will definitely get you moving.

Inhaler
âThese Are The Daysâ
On âThese Are The Daysâ, the Irish quartet take you back to all those blurry and ecstatic nights youâve spent with your loved ones over the years. As the chorus puts it: âThese are the days that follow you home / These are the days that kiss you on your broken nose / These are the days I donât miss the feeling of being alone.â

On the C List:
Nation Of Language
âAndrogynousâ
Brooklyn trio Nation Of Language have put their own synthpop twist on The Replacementsâ 1984 track âAndrogynousâ. Trading the easily recognisable pianos of the original for synths and MIDI drums, NOL strike a perfect balance of making the celebratory track their own while also keeping its original formula intact.

Remi Wolf
âCakeâ
Remi Wolfâs âCakeâ, taken from the deluxe edition of her debut LP âJunoâ and featuring vocals from PinkPantheress, dives into the turbulence of a relationship. âYou, I beg and plead / Somebody to lay down and lie to me / Now Iâm too sad, I canât go anywhere,â the Californian singer-songwriter belts on the chorus.

Working Menâs Club
âPloys’
âPloysâ, the third preview of Working Menâs Club‘s forthcoming album âFear Fearâ, has been described as “three minutes of hypnosis” from the quartet. With its glitchy cuts and melodic synths, we’ve certainly been put in a trance.

Talk Show
âCold House’
Talk Showâs âCold Houseâ is a loud, raucous and addictive listen â playing it once just isnât enough. Itâs taken from the London-based quartetâs upcoming EP âTouch The Groundâ, which is set to drop in September.
