10 UK Songs we’ve had on repeat since foreverrr
It’s one thing to update our playlists but it’s another when the recent additions have been nothing short of an obsession. Discovering new music is definitely up there as one of the finer things in life so this is us sharing with you, the newest songs that have been stuck on repeat! Enjoy.
1) Tom Moutchi - Daabi Daabi
If you saw us out at DLT Malta IRL or via Stories then you would know HOW obsessed the team were with Tom Moutchi’s song ‘Daabi Daabi’. Tom is a magician because what did he put in that song? If your body doesn’t just begin to gyrate immediately then you’re doing it all wrong. Might I add that the music video for this track is also a stunning piece. A work of art!

2) Ray BLK - My Girl
If you’ve been watching BBC3’s new drama series, Champion, starring Ray BLK as Honey. Then you’ll know all about the significance of this song and how it created a blockage between Vita and Honey’s close friendship. ‘My Girl’ makes you feel young and fun. It’s a real feel-good song for the besties to belt out loud!

3) Alana Maria - YEA YEA! (Sped Up Version)
From the vocals to the beat Alana Maria’s ‘YEA YEA!’ has a strong, infectious dancehall influence. Alana's expressive delivery and the vibrant production blend seamlessly, creating an irresistibly catchy track that makes it impossible not to reload it.

4) Jords ft Tay Iwar - MoBay
From Jords’ the newest album ‘Dirt in the Diamond’, the song ‘MoBay’ features the iconic Nigerian artist Tay Iwar. MoBoy is a song that feels grown, sexy but at the same time you can play it at the family cookouts where your Nanny, Uncles and Aunties would catch a vibe same way… as though it’s their tune from way back! That is what we love about Jords. With his perfectly incoroporated Jamaican influences, Jords’ music feels very much like home.

5) Che Lingo - Consumeriddm
Oh we love it when the music starts to get a bit vibesy and Che Lingo’s song ‘Consumeriddm’ does just that! Cold bars laid right on top of an incredibly infectious beat, what a combo. When we saw Che live at his headline show for the Coming Up For Air album, the crowd went crazy for this track and once you press play, you’ll understand why. Consumeriddm is Che’s refreshingly real take on consumer culture. The message is in the name.

6) Femi Jaye ft Mulako - Nelly
Listed as one of our top 5 artists to watch in 2023, Femi Jaye has had a pretty consistent year, supplying us with that much loved and nostalgic Afro-swing sound. His latest release ‘Nelly’ featuring Mulako is a sweet song and let me tell you, they’re SINGING SINGING. See if you can catch the word play with this one. What did Nelly tell ya?

7) 23 Dojo - Steel and Coppa
Steel and Copper are two of the hardest elements the world has to offer, making 23 Dojo’s ‘Steel and Coppa’ a song for the go-getters. Whether you’re about to step out or you’re working on a project, blast this one at the loudest possible volume to really get the correct vibes going.

8) Ragz Originale - troublin
I guess you could say that Ragz Originale’s ‘troublin’ is a cheeky confession song? Originally dropped via a COLORS in the lead up to his latest album, BARE SUGAR, you should already know that the storytelling comes effortlessly to Ragz as he shares details of secrets, desires and vulnerability. At only 2 minutes and 25 seconds long, you’ll wish it was longer.

9) Santino Le Saint, Col3trane - More
From Santino Le Saint’s acoustic EP ‘new material’, ‘More’ is a stripped back love song where it seems that two have fallen for the same one. The vocals of both Santino and Cole3trane paired with the strum of a guitar take centre stage. Much like the name suggests, you’ll want more and more of this song.
