The best singles of the month

Wet Leg – “CPR”

After kicking off their 2025 tour with two electrifying shows at London's Brixton Academy and Radio 1's Big Weekend, Wet Leg release their new single, “CPR,” which will open their second album “Moisturizer,” due out on July 11th.

“CPR” is one of the record's many love songs, with Rhian Teasdale recounting her new relationship over a brazen, sensual beat with cynicism and disenchantment, before letting loose completely in the chorus. The video for “CPR,” directed by the band themselves, is a burst of energy and irony shot in a single take: an immersion into the world of one of the UK's best-loved bands of oddballs.

Pulp – “Got To Have Love”

Pulp have released a new single titled “Got To Have Love,” following the release of “Spike Island” last April. Both tracks will feature on the album “More”, arriving June 6th via Rough Trade Records, the label marking the recorded return of the storied britpop outfit led by Jarvis Cocker. “More” was recorded in three weeks at London's Orbb Studio, starting November 18, 2024, with producer James Ford.

Discussing the new track, Jarvis Cocker explains: “'Love' is a word I couldn't even bring myself to say before I turned forty. I listened to love songs all the time, but in real life I just couldn't manage to say it. The lyric is a kind of internal dialogue about that difficulty. I gave myself a little pep talk. 'Now I can say it without flinching: you've got to have love. Oh yes, you've got to.'”

Richard Ashcroft – “Lover”

Ahead of a summer that will see him take the stage across the UK and Ireland as special guest on the hugely anticipated reunion tour by Oasis, Richard Ashcroft today releases “Lover,” his new single, out via Virgin Music Group.

The track marks the return of the former Verve frontman with new material seven years on from “Natural Rebel” (2018), his last studio album. In the meantime, Ashcroft released the collection “Acoustic Hymns Vol. 1,” which climbed to number two on the UK charts, his best chart placement in over fifteen years.

Watch the official video for “Lover” below, made with large-scale virtual LED production, directed by CUBE StudioX.

U2 – “The Snowman”

Bono Vox, frontman of U2, has released a track under his own name, "The Showman (Stories Of Surrender Version)". It's the first single taken from the EP "Stories Of Surrender", due out on May 30th on digital and vinyl. Alongside this track, the EP will also include new versions of "Desire" and "Sunday Bloody Sunday", both reworked in the intimate style of "Stories Of Surrender".

"The Showman", written together with the other members of U2 but never released until now, features Bono alongside musician Gemma Doherty, who contributes backing vocals, adding a brand new delicacy to the track.

The Black Keys – “No Rain, No Flowers”

At the throbbing heart of the Record Hangs, the celebrated parties/DJ sets curated by Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney themselves, lies perhaps the key to reading "No Rain, No Flowers", the new album from Black Keys. It's on those feverish nights, amid the dusty crackle of 45s selected with obsessive passion, that the eclectic, deeply danceable soul of a record takes shape - one that celebrates vinyl not merely as a physical format, but as a manifesto for a sonic aesthetic that's alive, tactile, visceral.Listen to the title track below:

Suede – "Antidepressants"

With the release of the live version of "Antidepressants", Suede make themselves heard again, ushering in what looks like a new phase in their artistic trajectory. The track, recorded during the show at Alexandra Palace Park in London last summer, part of the tour shared with Manic Street Preachers, is their first new material since 2022's acclaimed "Autofiction", an album that marked an unexpectedly visceral comeback for the veteran Britpop band. Watch the live performance of "Antidepressants" below:
