Frank Ocean took us all by surprise with the release of his two newest tracks, 'Dear April' and 'Cayendo'. Released within a day of each other at the start of April, both tracks carry his usual dreamlike character, a perfect remedy for when you need some company. Released April 2nd and 3rd.
#2 Drake
Released on April 2nd, Drake returned with another bop that has been the catalyst to yet another dance challenge on TikTok. 'Toosie Slide' is another ode to Drake's OG skills in rap and brings out a more chill vibe to carry you through the coming weeks.
#3 Peggy Gou x Boiler Room
Live from Seoul Tower, Peggy Gou teamed up with Boiler Room to provide another epic performance on the decks. Effortlessly cool and calm, Gou blesses us with the perfect way for anyone to start their mornings...back in the club? Streamed on April 25th.
#4 DVSN
Released on April 17th, DVSN is back with their third studio album, 'A Muse In Her Feelings'. With multiple guest stars, the elegant Canadian R&B duo continue to carry and expand their seductive club energy throughout each track.
#5 Kali Uchis
'To Feel Alive', an eclectic EP from adored Colombian-American singer songwriter, Kali Uchis. Released on April 24th, the mixtape is a four track project intertwined with dreamy melodies and hazy instrumentals. Recorded alone in "her room", the EP seems to be a a statement for the current global state of isolation.

#7 Tom Misch & Yussef Dayes
Tom Misch and Yussef Dayes perhaps aren't the most obvious combination, but together they've created a smooth yet powerful album, What Kinda Music. The South East London duo have played to their strengths and surprisingly compliment each other. From Misch's playful improvisation on the guitar and with Dayes' sturdy beats, this album is a great example of experimentation in its finest. Released April 24th.
#8 Charli XCX
A tease of Charli XCX's new quarantine inspired album 'How I'm Feeling Now', Claws is one track exploring and perhaps documenting her time in lockdown. The track carries an obvious DIY element with electro-pop narratives. Released April 23rd.
#9 Travis Scott & Kid Cudi
'The Scotts', a collaboration between rappers Kid Cudi and Travis Scott. Dropped during the end of Scott's Astronomical Fortnite Concert, the track went on to overtaking Billie Eilish’s “No Time to Die” and hitting #1 on the Global Spotify Chart. Released April 24th.
