Hello! We’re back once again with the best new music of March 2026.
This week’s selections feature Chris Stussy, Elder Island, James Blake featuring Dave, Iceage, Robyn, DJ Heartstring and Baugruppe90, beabadoobee, and more.
Have a listen to this week’s best new tracks below.
Elder Island - Snapshot
There’s a beautiful brightness to the latest Elder Island song. Utilising synths that trickle across the song like neon-lit raindrops, there’s an instantly relaxing feeling to it. The latest track from their upcoming album, Hello Baby Okay, it has a meditative quality.
Hagan - Hagan’s Calling
It’s the drumming that makes ‘Hagan’s Calling’ such an intriguing listen. Led by the rhythm, its constant percussive vibrations command your joints to ease up a bit. Alongside the rhythm is this deeply soothing atmospheric feeling.
Iceage - Star
Iceage is back with their first new music in five years. The Danish band’s lyricism shines here as they describe love as something fatalistic, akin to a falling comet. There can be no greater event in your life. The existential proportions of the song are enlightened by riffs that spiral throughout your mind.
Robyn - blow my mind
The new Robyn track is a rework of her 2002 single of the same name, which featured on her third album, Don't Stop The Music. The way the track pulsates in your ears is incredibly satisfying, Robyn’s vocals basically whispering in your ear. This minimal, electronic take on pop is hard to resist.
Bellaire - Close To Me
Parisian DJ/Producer Bellaire delivers on the disco house vibes with ‘Close To Me’. The track explodes into life, the bass and guitar riffs oozing out of the melody. Definitely a track for the ‘feel good’ category, it has a certain spark and colourful nature that yearns for bluer skies.
Kevin Morby - Die Young
Kevin Morby has always been an excellent songwriter. ‘Die Young’ feels like a tale for the campfire, as his acoustic guitar glides alongside his soul-searching vocals. A song that buzzes off the vitality of life itself, it doesn’t rely on being too bombastic to be life-affirming, instead projecting a quiet, content satisfaction.
beabadoobee feat The Marías - All I Did Was Dream Of You
beabadoobee’s latest track takes cues from ‘90s indie rock and grunge, but has some guitar riffs that sound like they could come from a Linkin Park song too. Linking up with The Marías, she delivers a song which feels like it’s in a veil of clouds. There’s an air of ambiguity to it, an almost dreamlike quality.
DJ HEARTSTRING and BAUGRUPPE90 - What Music Felt Like In 2007
Forget 2016 nostalgia, we’re going further back in time with DJ Heartstring and Baugruppe90 to 2007. The strobe-like synths eventually give way to this euphoric buzz, and once that buzz takes hold, it’s not likely you’ll shake it. The repetition will be playing back and forth in your head, resulting in a trancelike state.
Chris Stussy - Darkness
The first single from the debut Chris Stussy album, ‘Darkness’, is not what it says on the tin. The beat is certified to get heads bopping and produce dancefloor ecstasy. This will be pleasing a lot of dancefloors for years to come.
greydaughter feat Ghais Guevara - girl graveyard
The new project from greydaughter features this great single, which has Ghais Guevara hop on board. The track utilises scuttling background vocals and discordant samples to create a sense of eeriness. An evil-coded flow that feels effortlessly cool.
KiLLOWEN - Facetime
‘cook & effy’ UKG rapper KiLLOWEN is back with another hooky track. ‘Facetime’, taken from his new mixtape, Addicted 2 Nostalgia, sees the West London artist hop on a lowkey instrumental for what could be a serious summer festival banger with group vocals and that shuffly UKG percussion.
James Blake and Dave - Doesn’t Just Happen
Taken from Blake’s newest album, Trying Times, released on Friday (13th March), ‘Doesn’t Just Happen’ features Blake’s signature otherworldly production style, punctuated occasionally by melty, psychedelic guitars and, of course, Dave’s bars. A crazy instrumental, fans have since been demanding a full collab album because of their insane chemistry.
