The week's best new releases: feat Sean Paul (and others)

In this week's new releases, or at least the ones that have popped up on Spotify, ie nothing from the new Drake album is included because it's only on Apple Music so well done everyone:

  • First off let's just state that it's an amazing week for 2016 box-ticking: there's a new Sean Paul track AND a new shit tropical house cover (this week's is a tropical rework of Adamski and Seal's 'Killer').
  • Calvin and Rihanna, the Del Boy and Rodney Trotter of pop, are back.
  • Kesha's back, with Zedd. This song is great.
  • The Lisa Ajax song sort of holds back from being truly massive but all the com­pon­ents are there.
  • Good old Kyla La Grange. 'Hummingbird' really hits the spot doesn't it?
  • Youngr's pretty good isn't he?
  • Meghan Trainor's up to her old nonsense again.
  • Tori Kelly and Amy Grant have done a new version of Amy Grant's song from the olden days, 'Baby Baby'. We do not know why this has happened and have no interest in finding out. Is it from the soundtrack of a terrible film you'll only ever see on aero­planes? It has that feel to it.

We didn't include 'Tom Odell', apols.
