Whilk & Misky
Whilk & Misky blend acoustic warmth with electronic pulse on this track from My Round, Charlie Dickens' soulful voice and Nima Khaste's production chasing a simple wish: to get what we want.
Whilk & Misky
A hushed, smoky vocal floats over plucked folk guitar and a slow electronic pulse, turning a simple declaration of devotion into a late-night confession.
The Avener, Ane Brun
The Avener wraps Ane Brun's fragile Scandinavian folk confession in a slow, rolling deep-house groove, turning a private surrender into a sunset dancefloor moment.
Queen, The Miami Project
A Skillz chops John Deacon's immortal bassline into a strutting breakbeat workout, keeping Freddie Mercury's swagger front and centre while the drums hit like a b-boy battle.
Mount Sims
Mount Sims trades his electroclash gloss for the guitar-driven shadows of his post-punk turn, a short, tense blast of darkwave unease.
Marcus Marr & Chet Faker
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.
Lamomali
The song that names Matthieu Chedid's Franco-Malian collective: Toumani Diabaté's cascading kora, the voices of Amadou & Mariam and Jain, and a pun on 'the soul in Mali', from the 2017 album Lamomali.
Joss Stone
A teenage Joss Stone leans into a lilting, reggae-kissed soul groove and sings about wanting less with the husky authority of a singer twice her age.
Jain
Zanaka's gentle closer, a reggae-tinged sway where Jain lets the album's travels settle into calm, sunlit contentment.
Jain
Jain's light, sing-song voice, her own drum programming and Yodelice's bass and trombone carry a small, sunny plea for a better world, the title track of her first EP in 2015.
Jain
Jain's debut hit hides a lovesick lyric under a happy bounce: chugging guitar, bashful horns and double-tracked vocals, under three minutes of Afro-pop lightness that went to number one in France.
Hindi Zahra
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.
Gotan Project
Bandoneon, guitar and Cristina Vilallonga's voice drifting over a slow electronic pulse, La Vigüela is Gotan Project's tango heading out into the open pampas.
Gorillaz, Neneh Cherry
A cold, clanking Gorillaz track from Demon Days where Damon Albarn's weary vocal and Neneh Cherry's spectral backing turn a nursery-rhyme melody into a quiet alarm about children and violence.
Glass Animals
Glass Animals' breakout is a slow, syrupy jungle of a love song, Dave Bayley's murmured vocal drifting over finger-snap beats, soft guitar and a bassline that oozes.
Gin Wigmore
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
A stomping blues-soul strut in which Gin Wigmore's raspy, fearless voice lays out exactly the kind of man she wants, produced by Butch Walker for Gravel & Wine and later sung in a Heineken James Bond ad.
Gin Wigmore
Gin Wigmore's smoky rasp prowls over stomping drums and a swaggering, bluesy strut, a midnight hunt sung by someone who fully intends to win.
Gin Wigmore
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
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.
filous, LissA
The Austrian producer filous strips the Gorillaz classic down to a delicate xylophone, plucked strings and airy beats, and LissA's light voice turns the old windmill anthem into a hazy daydream.
Dusty Kid
The Sardinian techno producer closes his debut album A Raver's Diary (Boxer, 2009) with an unexpected, tender song of layered guitars and his own fragile voice that swells into a wall of sound.
Daft Punk
Nile Rodgers' chicken-scratch guitar, Pharrell's easy vocal and Daft Punk's robot choir turn a four-chord loop into the most irresistible disco revival of the 2010s: the lead single of Random Access Memories, in its radio edit.
