ROUGH Best Music Of The Week #21

XAVITA – ‘You’re A Mistake’

After finding enormous success thanks to her breakthrough debut EP ‘If I Am Falling’ in recent years, London-based Swedish-Ecuadorian singer and songwriter XAVITA returns with the swooning new single ‘You’re A Mistake’. With her soft and lilting voice layered over a humbly-played acoustic guitar, she shines and shimmers on this powerful new gem.

Fishburn – ‘The Other Side’

As an artist that looks to push the sound of dance-pop forward with progressive Christian themes, Billboard-charting producer Fishburn returns once again with his vibrant new stunner ‘The Other Side’. Bringing back more of that fresh and inventive direction he is known for, he makes light work of this fun and upbeat new delight.

Clarke John – ‘Sunsets’

As a name born and raised within a musical family in Portland, Oregon, singer and songwriter Clarke John has always looked to express himself through music, and that comes through in leaps and bounds with his latest release ‘Sunsets’. Blending a soft and tranquil production with a dash of hip-hop influences, he swoons his way through this warm and ethereal new groove.

Black Box – ‘Weekend’ (Valy Mo Remix)

Having already cemented himself as a fresh and inventive name arriving on the scene right now, with more than 500k streams to his name, German producer and DJ Valy Mo has now added his own flair to the Black Box anthem ‘Weekend’. Bringing in a broad and glitchy texture to the anthemic club banger, he looks to rebuild this enormous banger with his own distinctive flow.

Sis – ‘Double Rapture’ (Matthew Herbert Remix)

After recently delivering her stunning comeback offering ‘Double Rapture’ in recent months, Californian singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Sis has returned once again with the Matthew Herbert remix of her latest delight. Adding a warm and subtle breadth to the original, this new rework builds and swells with elegant synth work, adding an expressive tone to the dream-pop gem.
