Nell Mescal has shared a new single – check out the uptempo ‘In My Head’ below.

The soaring pop track arrives with a video directed by Dora Paphides, and is the second new release from the Irish singer-songwriter this year, following January’s ‘Homesick’.

“‘In My Head’ is a song about searching for a love you had in the past, a feeling you’re never sure you’ll find again so you seek comfort in relationships that are emotionally draining and one sided,” Mescal said.

“It’s about thinking that it must always be your fault and eventually leading to resentment towards the other person. We all have that person we look back on and miss, this track captures the moment they slip into your head.”

The 19-year-old kicked off her 2023 with a spot in the NME 100. Raised in Kildare, she is the sister of Normal People and Aftersun star Paul Mescal, and released her debut single ‘Graduating’ last year.

Mescal is also currently gearing up for her first-ever run of festival dates. Following two support slots in Dublin and London for Birdy next month, she will appear at The Great Escape, Kendall Calling, Boardmasters and at Haim‘s All Points East show across the summer.

Enny has shared details of a new project and an intimate London show – find all the details below.

Described by the south London artist as a “care package”, ‘We Go Again’ will be released on April 13 via FAMM. The six-track collection will include a guest feature from rapper Loyle Carner, and has been previewed by recent single ‘No More Naija Men’, which dropped last month.

“After I dropped my first EP, I was so convinced I’d never drop another project again because I felt like I had said everything I wanted to say,” Enny said. “These songs weren’t made to be a project; they were created in random pockets of sessions throughout the past 18 months but life has turned them into a gift. A gift of growth and change; a gift to myself as a reminder that I’m still capable, and a gift to the people that have joined me so far on this journey. A care package.”

She added: “I’m learning there’s not a destination in this life thing. it’s a constant journey of learning to do better. The lesson I’m learning right now is that after every fuck up, the only thing I can tell myself is fam… we go again.”

The full tracklist for ‘We Go Again’ is as follows:

1. ‘U Shld Heal’
2. ‘No More Naija Men’
3. ‘Charge It’
4. ‘2am In Central’
5. ‘Champagne Problems’
6. ‘Take It Slow’

Additionally, Enny has confirmed that she’ll perform a one-off show at London’s Omeara on April 27. Tickets go on sale at 10am on March 31 – you’ll be able to buy yours here.

‘We Go Again’ is set to follow Enny’s ‘Under Twenty Five’ EP, which landed in July 2021. In a four-star review, NME said: “Enny doesn’t follow the south London crowd and rely on drill beats to make her name, she instead uses her burgeoning fame to highlight the high-concept, narrative-heavy UK rap scene that deserves more attention.”

Hannah Jadagu has released a new single and accompanying music video – listen to ‘Warning Sign’ below.

The New York-based artist’s new single lands ahead of her debut album ‘Aperture’, which will arrive on May 19 via Sub Pop. The track follows her appearance at Austin’s SXSW Festival last week, where she debuted songs from the new record.

“There’s rock Hannah, there’s hip-hop Hannah, and so on. I didn’t want any of the songs to sound too alike. ‘Warning Sign’ was practically the last song Max [co-producer] and I recorded for the album,” Jadagu said. “It almost was just a short interlude, but I was inspired by a melody that my sister sang on the original demo, which led Max and I to be able to piece together the rest of the sounds in the studio.”

‘Aperture’ will arrive two years after the release of Jadagu’s debut EP, ‘What’s Going On?’. She has since toured across the US with indie acts Faye Webster, Wet and Frankie Cosmos.

Speaking to NME about the album in a recent interview, the 20-year-old said: “The music reflects how much push and pull we have at this age. You’ll be stressed at 3pm, then by 6pm, you’re ready to start drinking early. Some of the songs sound happy, but the lyrics reveal that you’re actually going through it.”

Jadagu will also appear at Idaho’s Treefort Festival on March 25, and Mind The Gap Festival in Salt Lake City, Utah on August 26. Details of a forthcoming headline tour will be released soon.
