ROUGH ONLINE Best Music Of The Week #50

With his brilliant new album ‘The Mist Opportunity’ now doing the rounds, London-based rapper and producer boyanlevchev has kicked off the new year by unveiling the new video for his latest single ‘Like A Fool’ ft. BYFYN. Much like his work throughout his latest full-length, ‘Like A Fool’ showcases hot only his flair and ability within the hip-hop scene, but also pays homage to his roots in Eastern European music.

After first becoming a proficient musician in his home country of Australia, singer and songwriter Strath has since relocated himself to Los Angeles in order to continue his passions, and now returns with his new offering ‘Dead Of The Night’. Taking cues from the psychedelic scene of his homeland and blending it with an eclectic electronic aesthetic, this new release gives us a greater insight into his musical thinking and delivers a stunning slice of contemporary synthwave in the process.

Having named artists such as Flume, Childish Gambino and Mura Masa amongst his influences, singer, songwriter and producer Saint Lewis has now teamed up with fellow artist Kennyflowers on their brilliantly sublime single ‘Fuckboy’. With its smooth yet diverse composition, this new release looks to add passion and a warped sensibility to their pair’s already impressive and growing back catalogue.

Since delivering her brilliant debut EP ‘Feel Trip’ near the beginning of last year, Californian singer and songwriter Tessie has been moving quickly to create a sound that defines her direction as she now returns with her latest offering ‘Do Me Like That’. Lifted from her follow-up collection ‘Feel Trip II’, her newest release captures the minimal beauty of her voice through a mixture of loosely played guitars and subtle drums.

After the incredible success of her initial singles ‘Don’t Bother’ and ‘Break Me’, which have amassed a total of more than a million streams combined, Dublin-based singer and songwriter Aimée now looks to continue her upward ascent with her new release ‘Don’t Call Me Pretty’. Continuing her pursuit of positive messages within pop music, this new cut offers up a heavy dose of progressive lyrical content wrapped up in a bed of catchy and energetic production.
