Omar Apollo has today shared a new song, 'Want U Around', which features Ruel and was produced entirely by Apollo himself.

About the new song, Apollo says: "'Want U Around' is about missing someone who doesn’t feel the same way. After you try everything and it’s still not enough, you know you should give up on that person— but something holds you back from giving up on the idea of being together one day."

New York City collective MICHELLE have shared a new single, 'UNBOUND', following up the release of 'Sunrise' from earlier this year.

About the new song, the band say: “UNBOUND came alive really fast. It’s about desire: the kind that oozes for the person you do want and the kind that evaporates for the person you don’t. We wanted to make something groovy and colorful, that could access nostalgia while also giving our listeners something new and danceable in a way we haven’t before.”

I said to Anita that I wanted to be an elf with long braids riding a bike and have giant mushrooms somewhere in the vid...She came back with the treatment, and I loved ittttttt! Her imagination is supa whacky in the best way, and I’m so happy with how ‘Snail’ turned out!”
