The week's best new releases: Ariana Grande, Gwen Stefani, Sofi Tukker and more

In this week's new releases, or at least the ones that have popped up on Spotify:

  • Ariana Grande releases the best single of her career.
  • New York-based ones-worth-watching Sofi Tukker release a sub­tle­banger. (We went to see them do a pop concert in London the other week, they did very well.)
  • Zayn, as discussed yesterday, explains in further detail that he's not bad at doing sex, which iron­ic­ally isn't actually very sexy, but we doubt anybody came to this album campaign looking for subtlety.
  • The mag­ni­fi­cent Ladyhawke returns with a decent tune.
  • Gwen Stefani gets one step closer to maybe one day releasing an album.
  • And the Peaches and Jean-Michel Jarre song is, semi-unex­pec­tedly, very good.

We didn't include 'Lonely The Brave', apols.
