Weekly Drop: The Week James Blake Brought RZA Onstage At Coachella

Can James Blake do no wrong? Now that the general public is only just recovering from the release of his scarily accomplished second album, Overgrown, he only goes and brings collaborator and Wu Tang legend RZA onstage at Coachella, to perform track "Take A Fall For Me". As you can pretty much guess, it was awesome and we're having kittens over Blake all over again.

Kelis teams up with David Sitek

Kelis is famous for dropping off the face of the Earth in-between albums, but she's released an uncommon treat ahead of her sixth LP, in the form of this David Sitek of TV On The Radio made number, "Call On Me". It's not been confirmed whether this is the first single, all we know is that the combination of Sitek's up-tempo production and Kelis throaty vocals is immediately infectious. A healthy smattering of horns, bongos and bass plucks should have even the coldest of hearts bopping in their office chair.

Disclosure hook up with Eliza Doolittle

Eliza seems to be stepping faaaar away from her pop princess image on this collaboration with British brother act, Disclosure, as "You & Me" has Eliza indulging in a few more vocal acrobatics than we've heard from her before, as she rides their trademark mish-mash of UK garage and deep house effortlessly. The track, to be taken off the duo's debut album Settle, may hint at Doolittle's future direction, but it's pretty certain that Disclosure are set to continue their terrifyingly meteoric rise in 2013.

SOHN releases mesmerising video for "Bloodflows"

SOHN, the mysterious Vienna-based vocalist-cum-producer and newest member of the 4AD family, has released a hypnotising video for his gloriously emotive "sad-wave" track, "Bloodflows". Directed and filmed by Italian artist Christian Pitschl, it sees model, Nadja Langer, transported to the bleakest of landscapes around the Bavarian Alps, camera fixated on her as she gets enveloped by smoke while the track builds. Who new a lady hanging about in the cold could have you so transfixed?

Lana Del Rey debuts The Great Gatsby song "Young and Beautiful"

After a brief break from the limelight, LDR is back flexing her lungs on a track for the forthcoming Baz Luhrmann adaptation of The Great Gatsby, the soundtrack of which has been "curated" by Jay-Z no less. No big deal, right? "Young and Beautiful", written alongside Rick Nowels, is drenched with the satisfying melancholia Del Rey's become so synonymous with, as she croons "will you still love me when I've got nothing but my aching soul?" And if that version doesn't have you sobbing enough, it's full debut has been accompanied with an orchestral refix to pull at your heartstrings.

MGMT are back!

MGMT snuck out a "cassingle" as a nod to Record Store Day this weekend, of their brand new song “Alien Days”. But, if you weren't lucky enough to snag a limited edition tape, they've kindly stuck what's due to be the first single from their forthcoming third LP, on their Soundcloud, and it contains all the comforting kind of echo-y psychedelia the guys have become experts in. Singer, Andrew VanWyngarden, recently described the track being "about that feeling when a parasitic alien is in your head, controlling things." We totally get you, Andrew.

Pharrell performs "Get Lucky" three times as the single breaks Spotify records

Daft Punk's first studio-based record in eight years was always going to break the internet, but new single "Get Lucky", with Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers, surpassed all expectations by smashing Spotify's records for the most streams in a single day. Maybe it was the combination of disco vibes and the summer finally arriving, but Pharrell was obviously riding the wave of "Get Lucky" euphoria too, as he performed the track live in New York for the first time this weekend, not once but three times in a row. Why the hell not, eh?
