Every Friday, the music streaming service Spotify refreshes the New Music Friday playlist, containing a large proportion of the new singles released by national and international artists. NU.nl lists a number of striking releases.
Dua Lipa – We’re Good
Dua Lipa had perhaps the most successful year of her career so far in 2020 thanks to her second album Future Nostalgia. The British pop star has not finished that record yet. She brings The Moonlight Edition out, on which four new tracks can be found and the collaborations with Miley Cyrus and Angèle that she released at the end of last year. One of the new songs is the single We’re Good, a song in which she decides it is better to move on without her partner.
Pink & Willow Sage Heart – Cover Me In Sunshine
Pink has recorded her new single with her nine-year-old daughter Willow. On Cover Me In Sunshine mother and daughter sing about better times ahead. Pink hopes to put a smile on the faces of her listeners and offer them comfort in difficult times, she says on social media.
Douwe Bob – Was It Just Me
Douwe Bob has made himself heard again. The singer-songwriter brings with Was It Just Me his first single from 2021 out. It is the successor to the song Hold On that appeared last year. The singer wrote Was It Just Me with Maurice van Hoek and Daniël Lohues. The latter also took care of the production of the song.
Be – 1+1
Sia will release her film on Friday Music out in the United States and Canada. The soundtrack of the film she directs herself will also be released on that day. The Australian singer sang all the songs herself and wrote for the record with artists such as Pink and Dua Lipa. The film about autism, in which Kate Hudson and Maddie Ziegler play the lead roles, has been criticized because, unlike her character, Ziegler does not have autism. There was also a fuss about a scene in which the character is knocked to the ground during a meltdown. Sia apologized and decided to delete her Twitter account.
Rita Ora, Imanbek, David Guetta & Gunna – Big
Rita Ora wanted to challenge herself in times of lockdown and decided to make an EP via Zoom with the Kazakh producer Imanbek, who doesn’t speak a word of English. For the number Big she also enlisted the help of David Guetta and rapper Gunna. “Getting the issue around took much longer than usual, about two to three months. That’s what you get if you always have to send everything online to each other, but it was worth the wait”, tells Ora in conversation with NU.nl.
