SIMONA’s new single ‘PERRA AVENTURERA’

CMU Selects - last week’s standout releases

‘PERRA AVENTURERA’ moves with throbbing bass, pacey rhythms and the kind of assured, alluring vocal that makes late-night dancefloors feel like playgrounds. Described by SIMONA as a “party girl’s adventure song”, it’s built for the kind of nights where you don’t check the time.

Marianne Faithfull’s posthumous new single ‘Burning Moonlight’

Marianne Faithfull’s final offering, ‘Burning Moonlight’, is a quiet, devastating goodbye. The title track is stark and unembellished, her voice carrying the weight of decades over delicate folk instrumentation. 

The four-track release will arrive on limited edition vinyl for Record Store Day – 12 Apr – before being available to stream on 6 Jun.

Mark Pritchard & Thom Yorke’s new single ‘This Conversation Is Missing Your Voice’

This is an eerie, weightless thing – somewhere between loneliness and transcendence. ‘Tall Tales’, their debut collaborative album, is out 9 May.

Mura Masa’s new single ‘JUMP’

Flipping a soca classic (‘Hol Up Your Foot And Jump’ by Zulu Lightning) into a frantic, bass-driven club weapon, ‘JUMP’ is packed with kinetic energy, built for packed-out floors. 

Featuring Double Dutch dance group and charity Showdem Movement in its video, ‘JUMP’ pulses with the joy of movement, a perfect collision of carnival spirit and club banger.

Courting’s new album ‘Lust For Life, Or: How To Thread The Needle And Come Out The Other Side To Tell The Story’

Liverpool’s Courting stretch their legs on this album. The band’s signature post-punk lurch collides with restless experimentation, stuffing each track with sharp-tongued humour and twisted hooks. It’s playful and completely their own.

Lust for Life, Or: ‘How To Thread The Needle And Come Out The Other Side To Tell The Story’, by Courting
