Usher, CHVRCHES and Ady Suleiman - it's this week's New Music Friday

8 June 2016

Every week, we pick the tracks you need to hear, from massive new tracks from the biggest artists to new discoveries.

Get everything in New Music Friday this week here.

Usher - Crush

'Crush' is Usher's 29th UK single, having had his first Official Charts Number 1 in 1997.

We take a look back at the five key songs of his career here.

CHVRCHES ft. Hayley Williams - Bury It

'Bury It' was originally recorded as a CHVRCHES song, for last year's 'Every Open Eye.'

Last October, Hayley Williams (of Paramore fame) came on-stage to perform it with them in Nashville

Ady Suleiman - Running

In 2013, Ady Suleiman sent his tracks in to BBC Introducing. He blew us away so much he was invited in to perform and appeared on the BBC Introducing stage at Glastonbury.

Now he's releasing his debut single, Running Away - it's a soul-tinged, summer-ready wonder.

Selena Gomez - Kill Em With Kindness

Amidst yet more speculation that she might be reconciling (again) with Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez is releasing this track from last year's 'Revival.'

It's a song about resolving relationship problems, maybe not in the best way, so unlikely to put the rumours to bed. Especially as she's been tweeting comparison photos from her earlier albums and the video to this.

Tom Odell - Here I Am

Tom Odell's fresh off the back of performing in the Live Lounge and at Big Weekend, with another huge piano anthem.

'Here I Am' is the latest single from Tom's 'The Wrong Crowd.'
