CUB SPORT - I NEVER CRIED SO MUCH IN MY WHOLE LIFE (feat. Darren Hayes)
The Brisbane alt-pop band team up with Savage Garden frontman Darren Hayes for a tear-jerker ballad, released October 17. Delicate guitar and lo-fi beats combine with a falsetto vocal to deliver intimate lyrics, described by Nelson, as “a song about happy crying. I remember being at home and looking over at Bolan (fellow band member and Nelson's husband), Miss and Eve (their dogs) on the couch - they all looked so beautiful and happy and I was filled with so much gratitude and happiness and pride for how far we’d come."
PALS - SOMEHOW
CHAII - SOUTH
Auckland, NZ Persian-Kiwi rapper and producer has dropped a sizzling new self-produced R&B/hip-hop fusion as her first official release. Blending southern-Iranian-influenced drum machine pairs with a club-ready bassline on two-mimutes-worth of lyrics that take on millennial social pressures.
