Whilk & Misky

I Want Your Lovin' (Edit)

Whilk & Misky's London soul-pop at its most direct: a warm, swinging groove and a voice that asks for exactly one thing, over and over, until you want it too.

Whilk & Misky

Get What We Want

Tiggs Da Author

Georgia

Tiggs Da Author's raspy, swaggering vocal rides a vintage soul feel and a hip-hop bounce on the 2015 love song, produced by Show N Prove, that followed his first single Run and became his breakthrough.

Pharrell Williams

Happy

Upside Down

Paloma Faith's brassy, swing-tinged retro-soul romp about a world turned on its head, with a stomping rhythm section and a voice that relishes every theatrical flourish.

Marcus Marr & Chet Faker

The Trouble With Us

Marcus Marr and Chet Faker (Nick Murphy) recorded this disco-funk jam in four days in a Brixton studio in July 2015: a funk-flecked guitar riff and a soulful plea about a relationship going wrong, made into a reason to dance.

Klyne

Paralyzed

A hushed, slow-burning slice of electronic soul from the Dutch duo Klyne, where a fragile falsetto floats over muted beats and a heart too stunned to move.

Entropy

Hindi Zahra

Music (Remastered Version)

Hindi Zahra sings a love letter to music itself, her warm, smoky voice swaying over interlocking guitars and soft percussion that blend folk, soul and Berber roots.

Her

Interlude

A brief, late-night breath on Her's first tape, the French duo's velvet electronic soul pared back to just over two minutes of mood, space and a slow, sensual glow.

Her

Her

The French duo Her name their manifesto after themselves: a slow, sensual indie soul track of muted beats, warm bass and a voice that leans right into the microphone.

Gin Wigmore

Written In The Water

Gin Wigmore snarls through a short, stomping blues-rock number from her 2015 album Blood to Bone, her raspy voice squaring up to fate, and splits its video into a two-part outlaw story.

Gin Wigmore, Suffa, Logic

Willing To Die

Gin Wigmore's raw-throated hook meets verses from American rapper Logic and Hilltop Hoods' Suffa on a heavy, defiant anthem built over a sampled field recording.

Gin Wigmore

Black Sheep

Stomping drums, chanted backing vocals and a shout-along hook frame Gin Wigmore's gravel-edged voice in a proud anthem for everyone who never fit the flock.

Gabriella Cilmi

Left With Someone Else

A smoky, retro-soul kiss-off from Gabriella Cilmi's independent third album: an old flame walks out with somebody new, and a sparse arrangement leaves room for a vocal that is pure venom wrapped in velvet.

Gabriella Cilmi

Cry Me A River (Live Version)

A sixteen-year-old Gabriella Cilmi takes Justin Timberlake's 2002 break-up hit into smoky, live soul territory with a three-piece band: a 2008 B-side recorded by Xenomania, her husky voice carrying all the hurt.

Corinne Bailey Rae

Put Your Records On

Corinne Bailey Rae's sun-dappled soul-pop single is a gentle invitation to let your hair down, all breezy guitar, soft horns and a warm voice telling you to grow into yourself.
