Welsh-born, Bath-based songstress Little Réd makes her debut with dreamy electro-pop track, ‘Hell’.

TRACK OF THE DAY: Wyldest – ‘The Poet’
Wyldest’s new single is a joy for those individuals who, like myself, are synesthetic. It is a song which gushes colour from every pore. Purples, Pinks, Blues; each colour tells me that the legacy left behind by the likes of Cocteau Twins and Blonde Redhead isn’t dead yet.

LISTEN: Girl Ray – ‘Stupid Things’
In a break from convention, I’m gonna give the artist the first word here: “It’s about crushing really hard on someone, and finding myself doing fucking ridiculous things to feel like we’ve got some kind of connection.
