FOMO announce Octavian for 2020 line-up.

Having announced Brockhampton last week as their headlining act, FOMO have just announced a new addition to their line-up in the form of English grime artist, Octavian.

The news of his addition to the line-up coincides with the drop of his brand new mixtape ‘Endorphins’, which includes features from Skepta, Jessie Ware, Theophilus London, and more.

The current line-up for FOMO 2020 currently looks like this, with five more gaps on their poster to be announced (and they say there are more announcements coming in the next few weeks!)

Listen: Thomston’s new single 'Lightweight'.

Thomston has returned with his first song of 2019 with ‘Lightweight’, a heartfelt song which sees the New Zealander contemplate fear of honesty - singing, “I’m scared to say something I don’t mean / Or worse, something I do.”

About the song, Thomston says: “’Lightweight’ is about meeting someone you go the extra mile to impress even if it means being self-destructive. Someone you want a little more confidence around. Someone who makes you almost forget you’re horribly allergic to alcohol.”

Listen: Benee’s new song ‘Want Me Back’.

Ahead of the release of her debut EP ‘FIRE ON MARZZ’ on June 28th, rising New Zealand sensation BENEE has dropped a new taster in the form of ‘Want Me Back’.

It’s a slower, sadder tune from the indie-pop artist, and she says about the song, “Want Me Back was freestyled in a recent studio session. I just improvised and think the result is more vulnerable and different to the rest of the songs on the FIRE ON MARZZ EP. It’s definitely tops of the BENEE songs for me right now.”

Introducing: Paddy Echo + his debut single 'Best Friend'.

New Zealander Paddy Echo has dropped his debut single ‘Best Friend’ today, a slow-jam in which he contemplates that "there’s nothing worst settling for second place," with an epic choral-backed chorus that’ll send shivers down your spine.

To celebrate the brand new release, we’ve put together some information about Paddy to help you get familiar with the up-and-coming artist - check them out below:
