Nabihah Iqbal - Dreamer (2023)

One of a few I considered from her album but this, the title track, is so, well, dreamy (shoegazey). And I like this vid of her walking round Lahore, Pakistan.

(She's a Londoner but of Pakistani descent)

22 • Malta

Benny Benassi & Emma Muscat - M.I.A

Emma is from Malta. She tried to represent her country at Eurovision in 2022, but sadly the song was a dog and didn't make it out of the semis.

She'd have had a much better chance with this one.

Aldous Harding - Fever (🇳🇿 2022)

'I still stare at you in the dark
Looking for that thrill in the nothing
All my favourite places are bars'

She's just my type.

Patrisha - Hush

She narrowly missed out on Eurovision 2023 when this finished 2nd in Latvia's qualifying competition. But no doubt her time will come.

Boy Harsher - Autonomy (ft. Lucy - Cooper B. Handy)
(🇺🇸 2022)

This is a more lightweight, fun departure from their usual dark electro style; I love all that stuff but, along with the video, this has an endearing charm that I can always rely on to give me a lift.

Marie's not selling out, she's sticking with the weirdos.

The Soulwax version has already been picked, so here's the original one.

Emma-Jean Thackray - Wanna Die (2025)

Her excellent album Weirdo - with its themes of mental challenge, loss, musings on life/death etc - probably won't win the Mercury prize tonight. But it'd get my vote.

It's been one of my most dependable travel accessories this year.

The last one sounds the most fun. The term 'dream job' has always seemed like a contradiction in terms to me!
