Last week saw the release of ‘BABYLON IX’, the latest EP from the rising Malaysian-Irish dance producer and singer/songwriter Yunè Pinku. Promising to take her listeners to a “weird, cyberpunk world” after drawing inspiration from AI, the metaverse and WALL-E, Pinku’s resulting record is an aptly otherworldly collection of future-facing space-rave bangers.
‘Heartbeat’, an ethereal electro-ballad, was the final song to be released from the EP as a single, and the track lands straight on the NME Radio A List this week. It’s joined there by fellow new additions from The Last Dinner Party – billed by NME recently as “the best new band you haven’t heard yet” – and King Nun‘s ‘Selfish’.
Elsewhere, fresh tracks by the likes of Mac DeMarco, SBTRKT and Beabadoobee have jumped onto the NME Radio playlist this week, as have two heavyweights collaborations: Thundercat and Tame Impala‘s ‘No More Lies’, and The Weeknd and Future‘s ‘Double Fantasy’.
