Last week marked the return of Jessie Ware, with her floor-filling new tune ‘Pearls’. Dropping alongside the announcement of her fifth studio album ‘That! Feels Good!’, Ware explained the track is: “inspired by divas like Donna Summer, Evelyn Champagne King, Teena Marie and Chaka Khan and I guess attempts to show – in lightness – all the hats I try to wear (usually at the same time)”. With its euphoric chorus and glittering instrumentation it’s a total belter, and is a new addition to the NME Radio A List this week.
Also new to NME Radio this week we have PinkPantheress and Ice Spice‘s stellar team-up on ‘Boy’s a liar Pt. 2’, alongside new tunes from GloRilla and a returning Depeche Mode.
Check out the newest additions to NME Radio 1 and 2 below:
On the A List:
PinkPantheress & Ice Spice
‘Boy’s a liar Pt. 2’
PinkPantheress has teamed up with rising rapper Ice Spice for ‘Boys a liar, Pt. 2’ – the follow-up to November’s original ‘Boy’s a liar’. On ‘Pt. 2’, Ice Spice and PinkPantheress rework the killer tune with all-new verses.
Speaking to NME about Ice Spice’s involvement in the track, PinkPantheress said: “With Ice Spice, once you see the world she embodies and what she looks like, it makes you view the music differently. I listened to her and I’m like, ‘Oh, she’s actually more cute than a savage’. I guess it was a good opportunity for her to show a more vulnerable side. I think it’s good to create more of a three-dimensional character as a musician.”
