French artist Oklou debuts her new single, “SGSY.” The track’s name stems from the main hook “she’s gonna slaughter you” and there’s an overwhelming feeling she means it.

James Blake gifted fans with a pre-Christmas present Sunday as the British singer released the studio take of his unadorned rendition of Don McLean’s “Vincent.”After frequently performing the American Pie song about Vincent Van Gogh in concert over the past year, Blake entered Los Angeles’ Conway Studios earlier this month to lay down the track.
Later this month, Soulwax will return with From Deewee, their first album in more than a decade. The 12-track effort was recorded in early February in just 48 hours at the electronic outfit’s Belgian studio. It’s said to be based on Soulwax’s Transient Program For Drums and Machinery show, which they took out on the road last year.
