Sky Ferreira is back: the LA pop artist recently made her return after three years away with the single ‘Don’t Forget’ from her highly anticipated new album ‘Masochism’. Also on the comeback trail are Phoenix, who have confirmed that their seventh studio LP is very much in the works with the release of its first preview, ‘Alpha Zulu’.
Those two tracks join fresh offerings from the likes of Jungle, Liam Gallagher and M.I.A. on NME Radio this week – and you can check out the rest of the new additions to NME 1 and 2 below:
On the A List:
Sky Ferreira
‘Don’t Forget’
The lyrical themes of ‘Don’t Forget’, Ferreira’s first new single since 2019’s ‘Downhill Lullaby’, point towards a defiant, if slightly sinister, outlook from the singer: “Honey, you can see that it’s a rotten world / I don’t need you to save me, another drama unsung / I’ll catch your disease, it’s such a raw deal world / I don’t need to deceive you, I’m the real bad girl.”

Phoenix
‘Alpha Zulu’
Phoenix are currently applying the finishing touches to their first new album in five years. For now, though, the follow-up to 2017’s ‘Ti Amo’ has been previewed with the lively ‘Alpha Zulu’. Fun fact: the single’s title comes from a phrase Phoenix frontman Thomas Mars heard a pilot repeating over the radio during a turbulent flight.
