LIST PICK

LAO RA DRUM MACHINE

Following-on from her attention-grabbing early releases such as debut 'Jesus Made Me Bad' and live shows with the likes of MØ, Izzy Bizu, Rationale and Rejjie Snow, Lao Ra returns with a brand new single further displaying her boundless pop potential. Out now on Black Butter Records, 'Drum Machine' pulls on the Bogata-born, London-based artist's love for Latin beats but is also lathered in a mainstream-ready hue that nods to the international success of Major Lazer and MIA. With its reggaeton rhythm, tropical instrumentation and hypnotic refrain, it's a track that proves we could be seeing a lot more of Lao Ra. -G.O'B
