ROUGH Best Music Of The Week #84



Lifted from his soon-to-be-announced new EP ‘Deeply Rooted’, LA-based artist Sugi Dakks is looking to bring a sense of fun and funk into our lives with his newest release ‘Cynicism’. Channelling the energetic direction of retro acts like James Brown, combining it with a rich hip-hop-inspired flow, this new jam will definitely keep your toes tapping from beginning to end.

After her previous releases already showcased her as a positive and growing name on the scene in recent months, singer and songwriter Kiss Kanoo returns to her sweeping dark-pop ways on the new offering ‘Tell Me Know’. With her rich and soaring vocals once again retaining the focus of this new release, ‘Tell Me Know’ proves that she is more than just a flash in the pan but one who is here to stay.

With hundreds of thousands of streams under his belt for his previous cuts, Amsterdam-born rapper Noddy North is now looking to continue that upward ascent with the release of his new single ‘Lips Locked’. Filled with huge beats and an incredibly fast-paced flow, his new jam will keep your shoulders shaking from start to finish.

Having proven himself to be a wildly prolific individual with a wave of new releases over the last few months, London-based producer and frontman SEPHA is looking to do it all again with his latest offering ‘U WANT SOMETHING’. Lifted from his upcoming album ‘Alien And Connected’, this bold and diverse new jam marries pounding 808s and blistering electronics into a harmony of bright and soaring textures.

With his previously shared tracks ‘Borrowed Nostalgia’, ‘Closure’ and ‘Sometimes’ already storming across Spotify right now, emerging singer and songwriter Alex Fasso has now returned with his next sweeping release ‘Happy 4 U’. With his rich and uplifting vocals landing centre stage on this new acoustic-led gem, his newest release is surely set to become one of your next favourite cuts.
