Jess Glynne became the most recent victim of discrimination in the music industry this week, when she was turned away from Sexy Fish in Soho whilst being dressed as a person who shots 10-bags at a festival.
We at Riot fully empathise with Jess, having previously been discriminated against for wearing a bathing suit to a court case and S&M gear to a funeral.
Connie Constance // James
Connie evaluates an intricate relationship with narcotics in her new track ‘James’. Check out her 2019 album English Rose. MG

The titular track from Mike Skinner’s album, which is released today. Tame Impala, Jimothy & Ms.Banks also chip in. MG
Soko // Looking For Love
Another of today’s album releases. Feel Feelings is Soko’s first album in 5 years and it is worth the wait. MG
The Academic // Acting My Age
Mullingar’s finest (sorry Niall) are back with a new track, and it’s safe to say it’s breezy riffs are thoroughly infectious. With a new EP by the same name out today, there’s plenty of The Academic to dig into. PG

Eyedress // Last time I’m Falling in Love

Declan McKenna // Daniel, You’re Still A Child
The mighty-morpin-Decky Mckenn back with a new one (and a weird new music video to boot)! Announced alongside a UK tour for March next year, we’re only a few weeks our from the album and we can’t wait. PG
