Must-listen: Tove Styrke’s new song 'Say My Name'.

Alert, we have found your new favourite song, and it comes in the form of Tove Styrke’s incredible new single, ‘Say My Name’.

The playfully catchy tune is an ode to being with someone, and about her new music, she says: “There's a reason why so much music is about sex and love.

I am tired of being angry, right now I just need to make music that makes me feel good.”

After debuting live their new song 'J-Boy' this past weekend, Phoenix today premiered the track on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 show and announced that their forthcoming album 'Ti Amo' will be released on June 9th.

About their new album, the band say: "It’s a record about our European, Latin roots, a fantasized version of Italy: a lost paradise made of eternal Roman summers (hyper-light, hyper-clarity, pistachio gelato), jukeboxes on the beach, Monica Vitti and Marcello Mastroianni, fearless desire and antique marble statues."
