It’s the season of returns. In the past two weeks we’ve had stellar new albums from both Arcade Fire and Kendrick Lamar, while Kasabian have just shared the first preview of their forthcoming record ‘The Alchemist’s Euphoria’ – their first since the departure of previous frontman, Tom Meighan.
Post Malone has also recently dropped new tune ‘Cooped Up’, the second single building up to his upcoming album; and Carly Rae Jepsen is back with the lush ‘Western Wind’. All of these welcome returns were must-adds to this week’s NME Radio playlist.
Check out the rest of the new tracks on NME 1 and 2 below:

Post Malone
‘Cooped Up’ feat Roddy Rich
Post Malone’s latest single ‘Cooped Up’, a team-up with Roddy Rich, is the second preview of his upcoming album, ‘Twelve Carat Toothache’. “I’ve been out of my bag for a long time, and I’m trying to hop back in there,” Post said of the track in an interview with Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe, adding: “We knew what we wanted to say, and we knew what we wanted to express, not only in a song but in that particular moment on the album.” – SR
