The best songs of the week

A tropical bright electronic pop song with bounce..

The Guernsey producer Alex Crossan AKA Mura Masa was one of the highlights of the Eurosonic festival in January.

His playful take on Hud Mo-style beats (his inspiration to make music was ‘Thunder Bay’), takes inspiration from peers like Cashmere Cat, EDM sheen and R&B pop. Previous singles featured Shura (the brilliant ‘Love For That’), Nao and Denai Moore.

On-stage and on this new song ‘What If I Go?’, he’s joined by Dublin-born London-based singer/rapper Bonzai (bigged up here) on a tropical bright electronic pop song that works best in this springtime sunshine.

The sound of new pop music in 2016.

Take a Hud Mo brassy foundation and stick it in a bright pop song and you’ve got this intriguing single from new LA singer.
