Music / PlaylistThe only tracks you need to hear this weekOur pick of the week’s best new tunes, with exquisite pop music from TĀLĀ, soulful sounds from Jorja Smith and a new belter from PC Music’s easyFun and Noonie BaoShareLink copied ✔️November 18, 2016MusicPlaylistTextSelim BulutIllustrationCharlotte Joseph This week’s playlist is big on comebacks. First there’s the return of UK pop singer TĀLĀ, who we last heard of almost exactly one year ago when she released her MALIKA EP. But if a year seems a long time, think of Soulwax, who close out the playlist with “TRANSIENT PROGRAM FOR DRUMS AND MACHINERY”, their first original track in over a decade. Otherwise, the playlist is heavy on pop songs, with a shiny new track by PC Music’s easyFun featuring Noonie Bao, soulful sounds from Jorja Smith, and slow grooves from Peluché.
