There are tonnes of amazing albums to look forward to in 2022 if this week’s additions to NME Radio are any indication. We’ve added the stellar Rosalía and The Weeknd collab ‘LA FAMA’, taken from the former’s anticipated upcoming record ‘Motomami’, to the A List. Then there’s the latest from Mistki, ‘The Only Heartbreaker’, a ‘Laurel Hell’ single of towering emotional proportions which was a must-add to the playlist this week; added alongside the stunning ‘Made Of Gold’ by Ibeyi featuring Pa Salieu, a cut from the duo’s third album, also due out next year.
Also new to NME Radio this week we’ve also added fresh tracks from some of our favourite rising artists, like Baby Queen, English Teacher and BERWYN.
Check out what’s new on NME 1 & 2 below.
On the A List
Rosalía
‘LA FAMA’ featuring The Weeknd
Next year, Rosalía returns with ‘Motomami’, the highly anticipated follow-up to her acclaimed album ‘El Mal Querer’. The first taste from this record is ‘LA FAMA’, featuring The Weeknd – with whom Rosalía had previously collaborated on a sultry remix of his global megahit ‘Blinding Lights’. This single is “a bachata with a little story around ambition,” the singer has said in a statement, which was inspired by “the lyrics of Rubén Blades or Patti Smith and the songs of Aventura.” – Karen Gwee
