The team at OUTinPerth have diverse musical tastes, here’s some recently released tunes that caught our attention.
This week we explore new music from Zedd and Remi Wolf, reworked sounds from Imogen Heap, Estelle teams up with Joi, Jon Hopkins works with Ólafur Arnalds and LCD Soundsystem.
It’s a week of comebacks and collaborations.
Zedd featuring Remi Wolf – Lucky
German artist Zedd has returned after a nine year break with his third album Telos and the newest single sees him teaming up with Remi Wolf. The track has been out since August but the video has just arrived.
“Lucky couldn’t have happened without Remi” Zedd said of the song. “Five years ago she wrote the first verse and chorus, but had no intention of staying on it. Earlier this year, I invited Remi to the studio to play her the Telos Album which changed her mind and she decided to stay on the song. We got to work on the second verse and it completely brought the song to life – no one else could sing it as amazing as she does.”
Imogen Heap – What Have You Done To Me
Imogen Heap has shared a new song, her first release in four years. It’s a song she’s been working on for many years and it reworks the melody of her most famous work Hide and Seek. Heap has also been working on an AI tool that will remix the song multiple times.
Estelle featuring Joi – Fire
Estelle is best known for her hits 1980 and American Boy. This is her latest release which sees her teaming up with Joi. This is the second track released from her forthcoming sixth studio album.
Jon Hopkins and Ólafur Arnalds – Forever Held
Ambient electronic artist Jon Hopkins released his most recent album Ritual earlier this year. Now he’s got some fresh music teaming up with Icelandic artist Ólafur Arnalds.
Here’s the first single from LCD Soundsystem’s forthcoming fifth album. The band are still recording the new record, so there is no news on when it might arrive.
The American band disbanded in 2011 but reunited in 2017 for their most recent record American Dream.
