RELEASESCalvin Harris and Sam Smith have teamed up for new track ‘Desire’.Jessie Ware has released a new version of her song ‘Freak Me Now’, featuring Roisin Murphy. “It is a huge honour to have the queen of disco, Róisín Murphy, on ‘Freak Me Now’”, says Ware. “I messaged her hoping she may be interested in featuring on the song and before I knew it she was in the studio.

She is graceful, she is generous, she is pioneering, she is Róisín Murphy and she is on ‘Freak Me Now!’”Grimes has released new single ‘I Wanna Be Software’.ArrDee and Bugzy Malone have released a new track together called ‘One Direction’.The Pretenders have released new single ‘A Love’, taken from new album ‘Relentless’, which is out on 15 Sep. “I suppose ‘A Love’ is the most traditionally Pretenders-sounding song on the album”, says Chrissie Hynde, “in the vein of ‘Kid’ or ‘Talk Of The Town’ or any of the mid-tempo ones over the years.

I often see love/relationships almost in the same vein as drug addiction. Although, having said that, I know I am jaded and cynical”.Matteo Bocelli – son of Andrea – has released new single ‘Chasing Stars’, which is written by Matthew Sheeran – brother of Ed.

And also Ed. Ed Sheeran is a co-writer on the track. That’s probably the bigger news. “Like the Sheeran brothers, I grew up in a family where music was very appreciated”, says Bocelli. “Ed and Matthew wrote the song, but it seems like they wrote it for me.
