ROUGH Best Music Of The Week #25

After garnering a new dose of fame thanks to his successful stint on this year’s The Voice UK, fast-rising singer and songwriter Benjamin Haycock is ready to truly kick off with his newest single ‘Force For Nature’. With its bold and soaring pop-rock aesthetic, his newest release showcases the very best in what we can expect from him in the months to come.

After making his presence known with a rich and colourful array of offerings these last few months, emerging rapper Arden is back once again with his pounding new gem ‘Clique’. Lifted from his forthcoming ‘Emotions’ EP, his latest effort is a firm and solid addition to the artist’s ever-impressive repertoire to date.

Having recently delivered his bright and uplifting new EP ‘Spare Time’ in recent months, emerging artist Blonds is back once again to showcase one of his favourite gems from that release, ‘Something Nice’. Mixing a subtle blend of indie-pop aesthetics and some killer guitar hooks throughout, this fresh and bouncing delight is just what we need to kick off the summer in style.

After spending the last few months dropping banger after banger, fast-rising artist Laura Dre has now returned to deliver his eagerly-awaited debut album ‘Moving Spaces’, highlighted by the record’s title-track. With its rich and dreamy electro-pop direction, this new effort perfectly cements her as a strong and captivating name emerging on the scene right now.

Known for his smooth and intoxicating RnB vibe, emerging artist Teasley is looking to continue that enriching direction with his vibrant new effort ‘Summer Nights’. With its smooth and atmospheric production, layered perfectly up against his own shimmering voice, his newest release continues that inviting aesthetic he has garnered a reputation for.
