• Welcome to your Wednesday edition of The Purge. And this week we’re kicking things off with the new single from Jason Derulo, ‘Colors’. Co-penned by the R&B superstar, the track is Coca Cola’s official anthem for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. “I was honored to work with Coca-Cola to create an anthem celebrating every team and their fans,” Jason explains. “‘Colors’ represents the different flags and cultures from around the world, and will get everyone moving to a unifying beat. I’m excited to finally tell the world about this partnership as the excitement builds for the FIFA World Cup.”

• Among the other new singles making their way to Australian media this week include Jess Mauboy’s Eurovision entry ‘We Got Love’, Matt Gresham’s new track ‘Home’, Lorde’s ‘Supercut’ and the new Taylor Swift single ‘Delicate’. Shoot across to our FACEBOOK page and keep your eyes peeled tomorrow afternoon when we’ll bring you a more comprehensive wrap of the new tunes doing the rounds at media.
