I've looked into three awesome tracks dropping this year. 'West Coast' from Lana Del Rey's upcoming album, Ultraviolence, Twin Atlantic's 'Heart and Soul' and Baby Strange with 'Distance Yourself'.
Lana Del Rey - ‘West Coast’
With a kick arse intro, a brooding drum beat enticing you in, and the sultry trap of Lana Del Rey’s vocals, the temptress returns with her single ‘West Coast’ for upcoming album ‘Ultraviolence’. The song has evident rock undertones, with production from The Black Keys frontman, Dan Auerbach. Del Rey sticks with her signature vocal style and her general proclamation of love which she makes sure to reaffirm to us in a catchy chorus, ‘Ooh, baby, ooh, baby, I'm in love’. Sort of ‘Burning Desire’, kind of ‘Born To Die’ with more of a beachy vibe. Nice one Lana, you sure are consistent.
Baby Strange - Distance Yourself
An angst ridden bassline - check. Aggressive drum beats - double check. And enough anarchic vibes to start off a riot, Distance Yourself is almost somewhat enchanting. With a chorus line which is sure to be screamed from the lungs of teenage revolters, “They’re tryna take our time, They’re tryna take our fun”, it’s inevitable to be a crowd pleaser. The track has as an air of ambition to it; it feels like it’s two fingers up to the naysayers and doubters. And it’s pretty bloody brilliant.
Twin Atlantic - Heart & Soul
Glasgow indie boys, Twin Atlantic stick to their roots and their dialect in their new single ‘Heart & Soul’. Coated with Scottish charm, You own the lock and the key/For the window to my soul, it feels like the band are not trying to fit into any categories and are ready to take a bold step into more mainstream territory whilst doing it in their own way.
