Released in July 2020, Gracie Abrams’ debut EP made a case for breakup songs that lingered in regret, doubt and frustration rather than rushing towards closure.

Alex Crossan’s self-titled 2017 debut drew together the self-taught instincts of an isolated Guernsey teenager, London’s musical sprawl and collaborators from Charli XCX to Damon Albarn.

Matt Maltese’s 2023 single came from a teenage song he had initially dismissed as too sweet. Its eventual place on ‘Driving Just To Drive’ reflects a songwriter reassessing what honesty can hold.

Before her debut arrived, CMAT was already making the case for a pop world wide enough to hold Boney M, the Bee Gees, Dolly Parton and a very particular kind of country song.

Beyond the big dance-pop rush of ‘Venus’, these four tracks find Zara Larsson sitting with doubt, memory, anger and the strange relief of falling in love.

The Houston songwriter heads out with Whitney and Hovvdy this autumn, with an Austin City Limits appearance in between.
