The best singles of the month

Salmo – “On Fire”

The return of Salmo with “RANCH”, out May 9th, presents itself as a work that promises to shake the foundations of Italian rap. The album is preceded by the single “On Fire”, a track that embodies the artist's expressive urgency, with a direct, adrenaline-fuelled sound born from the collaboration between Salmo, Low Kidd and Verano. The video for “On Fire”, directed by Younuts! and produced by MAESTRO, offers a visual immersion into the imagery of “RANCH”, with Salmo at the centre of an intense, fiery narrative.

Fiona Apple – “Heart Of Gold” (Neil Young Cover)

Fiona Apple has recorded a cover of “Heart Of Gold” by Neil Young for “Heart Of Gold: The Songs Of Neil Young Volume I”, a new tribute album released yesterday.

Apple offers a faithful reinterpretation of Young's classic, without altering the arrangement too much and focusing instead on capturing the mood of reflection and longing that defines the song. Apple's voice stays firmly in her warm contralto register, creating a contrast with the thinner timbre of Young's original performance. And as always, her emotional gift for giving weight to every single word comes through in her version of "Heart of Gold" too. Listen to her cover below.

Bush – "60 Ways To Forget People"

With "60 Ways To Forget People", Bush herald their tenth studio album, "I Beat Loneliness", due out on 18 July via earMUSIC. The track delves into the depths of heartbreak, personal growth and the painful process of letting go, opening the door to a bold, renewed chapter in the band's career. "I Beat Loneliness" will be available on CD Digipak, 2LP gatefold on 180g black vinyl, and in digital format, further cementing the band's status as one of the most important names in contemporary rock. Listen to the first single below:

Lana Del Rey – "Bluebird"

Lana Del Rey has released a new track titled "Bluebird". It's the second single from her forthcoming album. The fingerpicked ballad follows last week's "Henry, Come On", the first clear sign that the follow-up to "Did You Know That There's A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd" could be on the way soon. According to hints dropped back in November, the record will lean heavily into country sounds. Details remain scarce, but it's confirmed that the album will feature 13 tracks, including today's single. Del Rey co-wrote "Bluebird" with Luke Laird and co-produced it alongside Laird and multi-instrumentalist Drew Erickson. Listen to the new track below:

Pulp – "Spike Island"

There are bands that come back to celebrate a glorious past, and then there are Pulp, who seem intent on taking it apart, retracing it, reshaping it. Twenty-four years after their last studio album, the Sheffield band breaks its silence with "More", out June 6, 2025 via Rough Trade Records. A promise of the future, but delivered in the voice of someone who knows all too well the melancholy of memory. Production duties go to James Ford, already known for his work with Arctic Monkeys and Fontaines D.C., and the only track released so far is "Spike Island", whose video you can watch below:
