Debut singles tend to arrive one of two ways: cautious, hedged, terrified of committing to a single idea, or naked and unguarded, betting everything on a feeling the artist hasn't yet learned to distrust. HANGAWI, the South Korean singer-songwriter formerly recording as Silvia M, has chosen the second path with "Anyway," and the gamble largely pays off.

Glasgow has never been short of bands willing to plug in, crank up, and dare the room to ignore them, and Delta Fire's third single arrives with the swagger of a group who know exactly which lineage they're auditioning for. "Love Stops First" doesn't so much knock on the door of 70s hard rock as kick it clean off the hinges, dust off the welcome mat, and invite Deep Purple and ZZ Top round for a pint.

Two minutes and twenty seconds. That's the entire run time of the most unguarded thing to drop into the inbox this month, and it tells you everything about the calculation Esteban Obando has made: say it once, say it plainly, and get out before the spell breaks.

Kampala has produced its share of restless, genre-agnostic voices over the years, but few arrive with the wounded candour Juice Patrol brings to "i lie." This single, built from little more than a home studio and a ukulele, manages the rare trick of sounding both threadbare and enormous — a feat that owes everything to the chemistry between Juice Patrol's vocal honesty and producer Jxsie Beats' deceptively gentle instrumental.
