Tougher side: Stefflon Don
Tougher side: Stefflon Don

Not content with releasing their first album in 17 years this year, reformed rockers At the Drive-In are also putting out a new EP, Diamanté, today. It’s exclusively for Record Store Day’s Black Friday, so you’ll have to leave the house to get it.

Having scored her first hits as the guest voice on dance tracks for others, Raye now has Nigerian afrobeats star Mr Eazi featuring on her own song. Decline, which lifts its hookline from Ja Rule and Ashanti’s Always on Time, has a new video on YouTube now.

Producer Jai Paul received a huge amount of hype at the start of this decade, then went very quiet. Now he has a new project, Paul Institute, with his brother AK Paul, which has just put out two new songs. There’s the Prince-like Evil by Ruthven and the quieter electronic ballad Mystery by Fabiana Palladino. You can get them from the brothers’ mysterious-looking website, but they’re also on http://​https://open.spotify.com/track/1i3l10AupxsauvSd9qmCadSpotify.

After landing her first top 10 single with Hurtin’ Me, Stefflon Don is showing her tougher side on a new song online this week. Ding-A-Ling lifts a line from Chuck Berry, features a guest rap from Skepta and is a significant change in tone from her previous hit.

US dance duo Sofi Tukker were already pretty lively as you might expect, and pick up the pace still further on their new song Energia. It sees Sophie Hawley-Weld singing in Portuguese over a carnival beats and a zingy guitar line.
