Khalid - 'Talk'

A rumination on a relationship in its rose-tinted early days that's produced by Disclosure (damn!), this instantly catchy mid-tempo cruiser is the first single from the Texan artist's upcoming second album (double damn)! Khalid says the follow-up to his breakout 2017 debut American Teen and last year's Suncity EP will be out sometime before Coachella in April. Can't wait.

Vera Blue - 'Like I Remember You'



Co-written with Julia Stone (who also provides backing vocals), this shiny follow-up to summery 2018 single 'All The Pretty Girls' finds Vera using her powerful pipes to craise awareness for Greenpeace and their ‘People vs Oil’ campaign to stop oil drilling along the Great Australian Bight. The video even sees the Sydney singer sashaying her way around the Greenpeace flagship, the Rainbow Warrior.

KIAN - 'Childism'

Reigning Unearthed High champ KIAN cemented his arrival with 'Waiting' (racking up over 23 million streams and a Top 20 position in the Hottest 100), and now he's backed it up with a super-smooth RnB jam about the prejudice teens often face, 'Childism' (Geddit? Like racism or sexism, but with kids). "It's about young people feeling like they don't have a place [in society] and we're stuck in the middle, the 16yo musician told triple j Breakfast.

J. Cole - 'Middle Child'

Cole's first offering of 2019 sees him spitting about being stuck between two generations of hip hop, the old and new. It's a strange place to be, but he'll be fine with fire bars like this: 'If I smoke a rapper, it's gon' be legit/ It won't be for clout, it won't be for fame/ It won't be 'cause my shit ain't sellin' the same/ It won't be to sell you my latest lil' sneakers/ It won't be 'cause some nigga slid in my lane'.

Meg Mac - 'Something Tells Me'



"I’ve made so many decisions and choices based on what other people tell me I should or shouldn't do," Meg says. "This song is about not doing that anymore." Co-written with Sarah Aarons and M-Phazes, 'Something Tells Me' will feature alongside 'Give Me My Name Back' (#59 in the Hottest 100) on a new body of work Meg's releasing soon. She'll be blowing the roof of venues on tour soon as well as rolling around with Groovin The Moo.

AURORA - 'Animal'

Following on from last year's EP, Infections of a Different Kind - Step 1, the Norwegian pop pixie is gearing up for Step 2. 'Animal' is a taste of what's to come, fusing a bit of an EDM surge to Aurora's ethereal expressions. Headed our way for Groovin The Moo and sideshows, she says the track is about human desire; "If it’s love, money, sex, success, power or just a bigger piece of a delicious chocolate cake. It’s very interesting. Its grotesque. It’s beautiful. We are always hunting for something. We are animals hunting for animals."

Slumberjack - 'Hide And Seek' {ft. Claire Ridgely}

Our favourite moment from the Perth duo's recent Sarawak EP (inspired by the Borneo region that Slumberjack's Morgan Then hails from), 'Hide and Seek' is a future bass slapper that ties together mutant beats and lazer-like synthscapes with Claire Ridgely's pristine vocals. This is sure to go down well when Slumberjack head on tour this March.
