Listen to new music with The Guide's playlist this week

Cynthia Erivo and Joaquina Kalukango

Killing me Softly by Cynthia Erivo; Joaquina Kalukango

Roberta Flack sang the original. But we stumbled upon this funky, soulful rendition by The Color Purple co-stars, inspired by The Fugees' version. The emotion between friends lilts through this track.

Humours of Whiskey by The Rising Pints

Dry, witty, and with a dash of fire, this track comes straight out of Nagoya. The Japanese band delivers an Irish ballad true to the dry wit of the Irish.

Live Forever by Oasis

Love them or hate them, the Gallagher brothers are back. In anticipation of their upcoming untitled documentary, we're jamming to this pleasantly optimistic tune.

Mind over matter by Young the Giant

The song feels like an atmospheric indie rock track crafted around guitars, synths, and driving percussion, building into a large, anthemic chorus.

This Marathi track from Jogwa is an emotional love ballad, and Shreya Ghoshal's silky voice only adds to the enchant-ment of the song.
