These are the songs that have been lighting our fireworks over the past seven days:
1. Lastlings – No Time

2. Cut Copy – Cold Water
The Australian band have announced that their sixth studio album will be released on August 21. Here’s their new single, which is taken from it.
3. Disclosure (feat. Aminé, slowthai) – My High
This track is taken from their forthcoming album, ENERGY, out 28 August.
4. Delta Spirit – How Bout It
The video was directed by Michael Parks Randa and shot during the Covid-19 pandemic at over 30 locations throughout North America.

8. G Flip – Hyperfine
The Melbourne-based singer, songwriter and producer has shared a new version of her latest single, featuring breakout US artist LoveLeo.
9. Baby Taylah – Good Enough
The Glasgow pop artist explains that the track is, “mainly about forgiveness: accepting our past so we can move forward; but asking myself if there is an afterlife would I be good enough to make it through myself. I feel like it’s relevant now in times of change.”
10. STORRY – For No One
The JUNO-nominated Toronto artist has dropped a new song in honour of Pride Month. The track is the first single off a new EP written in quarantine titled “INTERLUDE-19,” which will be a visual album.
