The Magic Gang
How Can I Compete,
Yala! Records
An indie-rock song that grooves, shuffles, clatters and even comes with bonus “la la la”s. The Brighton mob’s latest is one of their strongest yet.

Aldous Harding
Horizon,
4AD
Wrought from piano and distinctive, eerie vocals, the New Zealander’s first track for 4AD is all about suspense and drama. It’ll make you shudder.

Jamiroquai
Cloud 9,
Virgin EMI
Jay Kay is back, and not with the Transformers-style science project his initial teaser video suggested. This is lively, and in no way tragic.

Cabbage
Gibraltar Ape,
Skeleton Key Records
Enjoy this muddy, weird new single and then see the Salford band live. They’re touring through February, March and April.

Off Bloom
Falcon Eye,
Sport Records/Polydor
This crisp, thumping new single from the Danish trio, out now, will be a real treat for fans of MØ, Haim and almost annoyingly catchy pop choruses.

Stevie Parker
Without You,
Virgin EMI
Rolling drums and a bristling vocal show a fuller side to the Bath songwriter than last year’s minimal and altogether sadder Blue EP.

Anne-Marie
Ciao, Adios,
Major Toms/Asylum Records
Jaded by January and fed up with February, Anne-Marie returns with a pop sizzler that serves as a teleport to an 18-30s boat party.
