Earlier this month Miley Cyrus dropped ‘Flowers’, a slice of funk-flecked goodness that serves as our first glimpse of her incoming eighth record ‘Endless Summer Vacation’. Over swooning synths and a slinky bassline Cyrus offers up empowering lyrics of self-love, declaring: “I can love me better than you can”. An immediate smash (the track hit number one in the UK charts last week), it was a must-add to the NME Radio playlists this week.
Also new to the NME Radio playlists are a choice cut from Arctic Monkeys’ seventh album ‘The Car’, a new floor-filler from Kelela and the return of The National. Check out the latest additions to NME Radio 1 and 2 below:
On the A List:

Arctic Monkeys
‘Sculptures Of Anything Goes’
A real highlight from AM’s five-star seventh album, ‘Sculptures Of Anything Goes’ goes straight on the A List this week. Filled with cavernous synths and icy production, it’s a cinematic, moody standout of the record.

Kelela
‘Contact’
Kelela’s latest is a sultry dancefloor anthem. Explaining in a statement that ‘Contact’ has “a little bit of something for every part of the night,” the tune takes you from pre-drinking with your pals all the way through to the party, culminating in “a very naughty, psychedelic moment in the back of the club with a lover”.
