Catching a coveted #2 spot on Spotify’s New Music Friday UK playlist, ALMA’s new track ‘Phases’ is set to make quite the impact. In addition to the Scandinavian talent’s excellent pop vocal it features up-and-coming rapper French Montana and was co-written by Charli XCX. All of these factors point to one obvious conclusion – that that ALMA can hold her own with some massive pop tunes. The track capitalises on what has been a fantastic year for ALMA, who has caught deserved attention with ‘Chasing Highs’, to the extent that Annie Mac crowned ‘Phases’ her Hottest Record In The World last Thursday. Here’s hoping this is a sign of more to come from this talent. - HM
