Best singles of the month – From Editors to Chvrches, from Madonna-Charli XCX to Angèle, Caroline Polachek, SebastiAn: the most interesting new releases

Angèle, Caroline Polachek, SebastiAn – "Love Triangle"
The meeting between Belgian singer-songwriter Angèle and alt-pop icon Caroline Polachek takes shape on a sonic architecture signed by SebastiAn, Ed Banger veteran and a historic name in French electro-funk. Previewed on BBC Radio 1, the single explores the geometry of a love triangle through a suggestive play of linguistic mirrors: Polachek ventures into French, addressing Angèle directly, while SebastiAn's production underpins the track with a beat that's at once tense and glossy. An intriguing intersection between French-language pop chanson and polished American-style avant-garde.

Chvrches – "Roses"
Chvrches are back with "Roses", the first new track they've recorded together after a three-year hiatus and the first official release for their new label, Futures. Those three years gave Chvrches time to explore new paths, such as singer Lauren Mayberry's solo debut. Mayberry's studio reunion with Iain Cook and Martin Doherty came with a clear intention: to avoid repeating expressive patterns used in the past.

Lambrini Girls – "Bang Bang Bang"
The political urgency and abrasive sarcasm of Lambrini Girls show no sign of letting up. The duo made up of Phoebe Lunny and Selin Macieira have announced their second studio album, "No Refunds", due out on January 15, 2027 via City Slang. Two years after their full-length debut "Who Let The Dogs Out", the Brighton band promise a darker, denser and more radical sonic return.
Previewing the album is the single "Bang Bang Bang", a frontal attack on collective hysteria and the media construction of personality cults, caught between blind worship and blind demonization.

Madonna & Charli XCX – "Danceteria"
Madonna and Charli XCX join forces under the banner of club culture. "Danceteria Afterhours" has arrived, a new version of "Danceteria", a track from the American popstar's latest album, "Confessions II". The single brings together two different generations of pop music through common ground: the dancefloor as a place of formation, freedom and continuous reinvention.

Editors – "Seriously"
"Seriously" is the new single from Editors and the lead track from "Surface, Echo & Sound", the British band's eighth studio album, due out on October 30, 2026. The song shows one of the directions the group has taken for the new record, between new wave and indie-rock, ringing guitars and an immediacy that marks a partial reversal from the more electronic atmospheres of "EBM", the 2022 album made with the contribution of Benjamin John Power, aka Blanck Mass.
The working method has changed too. In the summer of 2025 Editors regrouped in a rehearsal room in Stafford, returning to a more collective creative process, closer to that of their early days. Tom Smith brought the band a series of compositions written mainly on acoustic guitar, then handed their development over to the whole group. A way of putting the songs themselves back at the centre, ahead of arrangements and production. "Seriously" reflects this approach in its lyrics too, centred on the search for a way out in moments when everything seems to grow darker. A theme that Smith connects to the image traditionally associated with Editors, who are often described above all through their darker side. Listen to "Seriously" below.
