Rated by The Face: a weekly playlist

Check out this playlist which we lovingly update every week.

Listen on Spotify and read about last week’s additions here.

Burna Boy – Kilometre

Burna Boy’s first single of 2021 is fast-paced, hard-edged and braggadocious. The intensity sounds good on him.

DJ Khaled – Every Chance I Get ft. Lil Baby & Lil Durk

Once again, DJ Khaled’s managed to get half the most famous artists on the planet on his album. And once again, only a handful of the songs are actually good. Every Chance I Get is a highlight, featuring two rappers who are in their prime alongside co-production from the minimalist mastermind Tay Keith.

LSDXOXO – The Devil

There’s been a big buzz around LSDXOXO’s raunchy, sweat-soaked anthem Sick Bitch recently. Ahead of his EP DEDICATED 2 DISRESPECT, the Berlin-based artist is sustaining the hype with another slice of dance-floor destined filth.

Little Mix – Confetti ft. Saweetie

The UK pop four-piece-turned-trio have revived their 2020 single with a new verse from Californian rap star Saweetie, recruiting Drag Race UK stars Bimini Bon-Boulash, A’Whora and Tayce to make cameos in the video.

Wesley Joseph – Ultramarine

The London-via-Walsall artist channels an ​“eerie and tense” vibe on Ultramarine, the moonlit title track from his forthcoming debut project.

Billie Eilish – Your Power

Billie Eilish’s second album Happier Than Ever is, inevitably, going to be one of the biggest records of 2021. This stripped-back, soul-stirring ballad suggested she’s switching it up from the dark electronics of her debut.

Elle L – Hoping

The soaring, emotive debut single from the London-based musician, environmentalist and creative director.
