Tove Styrke - 'Say My Name’ music video.

Up and coming Swedish popstar Tove Styrke has released a music video for her brilliant new single, 'Say My Name', which was directed by Daniel Skoglund.

About the video, Tove says: "I wanted the video to be colourful, crisp and simple, just like the song. My idea was to use mirrors as a metaphor for self-appreciation or self-love. 'Say My Name' is sung directly to someone, but there's also a more personal vibe; being completely comfortable with yourself and staying true to your own feelings."

Listen: Bleachers’ new song, 'Everybody Lost Somebody'.

Ahead of the upcoming release of his sophomore album as Bleachers, Jack Antonoff’s project has dropped a new song in the form of ‘Everybody Lost Somebody’.

The song opens with a female voice proclaiming, “I gotta get myself back home soon,” and is an anthemic story of loss and being lost - with Antonoff showcasing the relatable sentiment off grief in his own unique way.

Must-listen: Haim’s official 'Right Now' audio + ‘Something To Tell You’ tracklisting.

Since dropping the live version of ‘Right Now’ a couple weeks back - we’ve been anticipating the official recorded version of the song, and it is now here, and everything we hoped it would be.

It has added production, and the drumming sounds just as good as it does on the live version. This version notably also features a spoken bridge - which sounds like: “Somehow it’s so clear now / What’s that sound? / That’s you fading / Away.”
