The latest in new music from Bradley Simpson, Mint Simon, Nell Mescal, Jite & more in this week’s 1883 On Rotation playlist.
Bradley Simpson links up with rising star Nieve Ella for a reimagined version of ‘Favourite Band’, turning a fictional breakup into a sharp, addictive alt-pop anthem. Their voices blend effortlessly, adding a new dynamic to one of the standout tracks from The Panic Years. The pair will be joining forces again on Bradley’s upcoming sold-out UK tour.
Mint Simon serves up dreamy ’70s pop nostalgia on ‘Gargoyles’, full of shimmering synths and rich, soul-baring vocals. It’s a confident pivot into a more personal space, marking a new chapter for the Montreal artist. Their debut EP Chimera is set to land May 30.
Megan Thee Stallion roars back with ‘Whenever’, a punchy, confident track sampling Ms. Cherry’s ‘It’s Whatever’. It’s full of effortless flexes and festival-ready energy, fresh from her show-stopping Coachella sets. With a new tequila brand and a Gold Gala honour incoming, Megan is in her empire era.
BIG WETT cranks up the heat on ‘NO REGRETS’, a club-ready anthem about shedding fears and diving headfirst into desire. It’s sweaty, anarchic, and impossible to resist. Her sophomore EP RISK IT cements BIG WETT as one of pop’s boldest and most unpredictable voices.
Tennis channel bittersweet chaos on ’12 Blown Tires’, a nostalgic standout from their seventh and final album Face Down In The Garden. Wistful and richly textured, it’s the sound of a band reflecting on the journey so far. Their upcoming tour will be one last celebration before stepping away.
Nell Mescal gets brutally honest on ‘Thin’, a stripped-back demo unpacking body image and self-worth with painful clarity. Raw and powerful, it’s one of her most intimate releases to date. With a busy festival summer ahead, Nell is quickly carving out a space all her own. Read our last chat with Nell here.
Noa Lauryn invites listeners to slow down with ‘Always On Time’, a silky neo-soul cut that leans into life’s imperfections. It’s warm, easygoing, and dripping with soulful energy. Her new EP Always On Time is a reminder to stop chasing the clock and just breathe.
Finally, jite blends shimmering R&B with sharp lyrical honesty on ‘omw!’, capturing the highs and lows of chasing dreams. Light on the surface but heavy underneath, it’s an anthem for anyone feeling stuck but still hopeful. With every release, jite proves she’s one to watch.
