Serving suggestion: pumping loud on your speakers.

This week, we're dining on the soulful sounds of the Feature Album, Free Spirit by Khalid (who just announced an Australian tour) and getting to know Unearthed Feature Artist Choomba.

Feast on the fresh stuff below, and find more treats filling up the triple j Hit List on Spotify and YouTube.

Tash Sultana - 'Can't Buy Happiness'

A shorter track with sharper focus, 'Can't Buy Happiness' bursts into a lush arrangement, much the way environment explodes around Tash in the music video (watch below). The track reflects the beginning of a healthier, happier chapter for the globetrotting multi-instrumentalist as they begin writing and recording the follow-up to the ARIA-winning, J Award nom'd debut album Flow State.

We're used to seeing Tash alone on stage tearing it up but the new material might require inviting more musos on stage. "I'm writing them in a way that I cannot possibly play them live on my own," Tash told Veronica and Lewis. "I don’t have enough hands!"

Alison Wonderland - 'Peace'

AW's first new material since 2018's Awake, 'Peace' takes the lessons learned making that second album but applies them to the straighter song-based structure of her debut album Run. The resulting stomping EDM pop anthem is accompanied by a music video with a neat visual trick to contrast the verses and choruses.

Arno Faraji - 'Scalin'

The Unearthed High alumni continues to develop his sound on this follow-up to 2018 singles ‘things change' and his Remi and Sensible J link-up 'Bless (What It's Like)'. 'Scalin' flexes Arno's full skillset - deft beats, dope rhymes, slick instruments - with help on production from another Unearthed favourite, Milan Ring.

Circa Waves - 'Times Won't Change Me'

This piano-led, mid-tempo gospel thumper is almost recognisable from the sunny shredding of the British group's first two albums, but its indicative of the refreshing changes in tone on their third, What's It Like Over There? "There’s a thing with bands being scared of that big epic song," frontman Kieran Shudall has said. "But on your third album, you can afford to be more open. The pop will not hurt you, it’ll set you free!"

Young Franco - 'Otherside' {Ft. Reva Devito, Golden Vessel}

Brisbane producer Young Franco knows you should keep your friends close, and your red hot musical mates even closer. 'Otherside' brings out a silky topline from Reva DeVito (who's worked with KAYTRANADA) and threads it with smooth bass and synth blips, plus Golden Vessel's understated delivery. It's a beauty.

Coda Conduct - 'The Monologue' {Ft. Nyxen}

The newest signees to Elefant Traks, your mates Sally and Erica have delivered a tongue-in-cheek anthem dedicated to the kind of people who love indulging in conversations at you, instead of with you. 'Asking for my thoughts/ but nah, you really just want to give your own' they rap in the verses while Unearthed fave Nyxen slays it on the addictive hook.

RAT!hammock - 'Ghost'

We were already fans of these Unearthed x Laneway comp winners but 'Ghost' puts a moodier spin on their indie rock, and frankly, it's awesome. They've lost none of their lo-fi charm and those crunchy guitars really balance the morose tone on a tune that's far smarter than you'd expect from a band named RAT!hammock.

Cry Club - 'DFTM'

Easily the best song this self-described "noisy queer pop" twosome and former UE Feature Artist have made yet. Given some aggressive polish on production from Japanese Wallpaper, 'DTFM' is a bite-back song for when you get your person space invaded, "especially at live shows," says the duo. Turn it up and sing it loud 'Don't F**king Touch Me!'
