Chance The Rapper Ft. Social Experiment: Wonderful Everyday (Arthur)

Chicago rhymer enlists Jessie Ware and Francis & The Lights for latest release...

The always incredible Chance the Rapper continues his sporadic Soundcloud-based releases with this new track. Wonderful Everyday is produced by his long-term collaborators Social Experiment, but also features the likes of Jessie Ware, Wyclef Jean, Francis & The Lights, Elle Varner and Donnie Trumpet.

Expect the more esoteric than standard MCing. If you're in the Chicago area this weekend you can watch Chance play Lollapalooza. Lucky you.

Download the track below or from here.


Jacob Banks: Move With You

Official debut from Birmingham's Banks...

Boasting a rather brilliantly unique voice, 22 year-old Jacob Banks is one of our favourite new singers.

Delivering his own take on R&B-Pop-Soul, Banks teams up with fellow Brummie Knox Brown on this upbeat do-wop boogie based banger.

The (as demonstrated by this video anyway) suave, sophisticated singer (who also loves a cartoon) releases 'Move With You' on 22 September. Follow Jacob on Twitter cos he's quite funny when he wants to be.


Lana Del Ray: Ultraviolence [Video]























Del Ray loses her groom in new video....

Del Ray's new video sees the Cali singer in full on wedding dress, writhing around, sort of like Madonna in 'Like A Virgin', but not really. Unfortunately for L-Rizz'e, it looks like she's left her husband somewhere as she roams about, filmed in Super 8, looking for him. Or maybe the meaning of life. Or, perhaps, the meaning of the video.

Lana's rather fabulous album is out now.
