RFTW: Phoebe Bridgers, Jungle, Tinashe, Mr Chinarro…

In the middle of August, music doesn’t go on vacation. On the contrary, it proposes some of its most important releases of the year, such as those by Phoebe Bridgers and Jungle. Be careful because Benny Blanco’s solo album is also coming out, with collaborations from Selena Gomez, The Marías or Mora; and we receive new releases from Sr. Chinarro, Becky G, L’Rain, Ayra Starr, Dent May, Carly Simon or Laura Veirs.

Among the single releases, the lead from Troye Sivan’s new album stands out, chosen as Song of the Day for today; the new hits by Tinashe, Joe Goddard, KATSEYE, Babymorocco or La Roux, and very surprising songs by Icona Pop or Gus Dapperton.

The eclipse has been marked by the premiere of Martin, and among the expected returns of the year we must highlight the duo of Erykah Badu and The Alchemist, who will finally release their album. Fujii Kaze & Miyagi, historical favorites of the site, also return, and we also have a new single from virtual artist Hatsune Miku with Grimes.

In addition, we have new proposals from Orville Peck, Bella Poarch, Jorja Smith, The Tallest Man on Earth, Slow Pulp, Los Estanques, Haruomi Hosono, Paris Paloma, Shabazz Palaces, Kasabian, Sophia Stel, Royal Blood, Django Django, Caroline Rose…

We end, as always, by mentioning several curiosities: new extra-record anthems by Ruslana or Xoel López and a cover of Robyn by Yung Lean. He hasn’t chosen the obvious song, but rather a less expected one: ‘Robotboy’.
