The best singles of the month

Flea feat. Thom Yorke – “Traffic Lights”

Flea officially makes his solo debut. The bassist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers has announced the release of “Honora”, his first solo album, out March 27th, accompanied by a tour that will also stop in Europe. The album was previewed by the single “A Plea”, released last month, which highlights a lesser-known side of the musician: his use of the trumpet, also present throughout the rest of the record. The second single is “Traffic Lights”, recorded with Thom Yorke. Speaking about the track, Flea explained that the first jam with Deantoni Parks reminded him of certain Atoms For Peace vibes, which is why he decided to bring Yorke on board. Listen to “Traffic Lights” below:

Kim Gordon  “Not Today”

Kim Gordon returns with a new solo chapter. The former Sonic Youth bassist has announced the album “Play Me”, out March 13th on Matador Records. The news comes alongside the first single, “Not Today”, released as a statement of intent for the start of the year. “Not Today” moves along an unstable balance between motorik drums and guitars, with Gordon adopting a vocal register different from her usual one. She herself explains the shift in approach: “I started singing in a way I hadn't used in a long time. Another voice came out”.

The single comes with a video directed by Kate and Laura Mulleavy, founders of the Rodarte label, together with cinematographer Christopher Blauvelt, confirming Gordon's distinctive attention to the dialogue between music, fashion and cinematic imagery. Watch the video for “Not Today” below.

Morrissey – “Make-up Is A Lie” 

Morrissey announces the release of his fourteenth solo album, “Make-Up Is A Lie”, due out March 6th. The record will be released by Sire/Warner Records and marks the English artist's return to the label after more than five years without a release. The title track and single, “Make-Up Is A Lie”, is available now. The song precedes an album made up of twelve tracks, and comes alongside the release of the full tracklist. You can listen to it below.

Sunn O))) – “Glory Black”

Sunn O))) enter a new phase in their history. Following the Ep “Eternity's Pillars”, released as the first signal of their partnership with Sub Pop, the duo made up of Stephen O'Malley and Greg Anderson now announce their first full-length album for the storied Seattle label. The self-titled record “Sunn O)))” will see the light of day on Friday, April 3rd, 2026. It was co-produced and mixed by the band together with Brad Wood (Hum, Tar, Sunny Day Real Estate, Liz Phair) and was recorded at Bear Creek Studios in Woodinville, Washington, in January 2025.

The closing track of the album, "Glory Black", is now available to stream. A track that neatly sums up the record's approach: deeply detuned guitars, feedback, and a gradual opening towards a more rarefied dimension, where a meditative piano writing emerges.

Arctic Monkeys – "Opening Night"

The Arctic Monkeys are back, after three years of silence, with "Opening Night", a new track that anticipates "HELP(2)", the ambitious charity compilation curated by War Child Uk. It's the British band's first new release since 2022, the year of "The Car", and it kicks off a collective project bringing together some of the most relevant voices on the contemporary scene.

Gorillaz – “The Hardest Thing”/”Orange Country”

Gorillaz are back to reveal more about their new album "The Mountain" with the release of two new tracks, "The Hardest Thing" and "Orange County", now available to stream.

"The Hardest Thing" is built around a posthumous contribution from drummer and composer Tony Allen. It's a rarefied, almost suspended piece that tackles grief without rhetoric: a floating voice drifts over a bare-bones production, more evocative than fully realized, as if serving as an emotional prelude to something still to come. That something is "Orange County", conceived as a companion piece with an opposite character. The melody is brighter and more direct, carried by a relaxed groove that grafts Gorillaz's trademark energy onto a laid-back mood. The track features Bizarrap, Kara Jackson and Anoushka Shankar, who help strike a balance between oblique pop and global influences.

Watch the video for "The Hardest Thing" and "Orange County" below.
