American singer BANKS  and Swedish/British singer Mabel are releasing albums this summer. I'm a fan of both of them, so I'm looking forward to the new releases! In anticipation of the new albums, here's a round-up of their previous music featured on the blog. :)

This is Warm Water from Goddess. It was uploaded in 2013.

Here is Bedroom Wall, one of my favourite songs from LONDON:

And this In Between, her song with American rapper/singer 6LACK which was released in November 2017. I only came across this recently. It's got a nice, chilled R'n'B vibe.
