Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood’s new side project the Smile have released their raging debut single “You Will Never Work in Television Again.”
The band — which includes drummer Tom Skinner and longtime Radiohead collaborator Nigel Godrich — open the track with dystopian wails, before kicking off with a surging riff and Yorke’s vocals: “Fear not my love, he’s a fat fucking mist/Young bones spat out, girls slitting their wrists.”
The Smile debuted the track last May at Glastonbury’s Live at Worthy Farm livestream, where they performed for their first-ever set (where they opened with a cover of Radiohead’s “Skirting on the Surface”).
In addition to the new single, the Smile also announced they’ll perform three consecutive live shows in 24 hours, taking place on Jan. 29 at Magazine London. They’ll perform to an intimate audience, while each performance will be livestreamed at 3:00 p.m., 8:00 p.m., and 6:00 a.m. ET. Physical and livestream tickets go on sale Friday.
Ovrkast and Niontay are quickly becoming two of the most promising new voices in hip hop today. On Wednesday, the two artists came together to release a fresh collaboration titled "Wata." The song is built around a dreamy and hypnotic beat that gives both rappers plenty of space to stand out. The chorus is memorable and highlights the strong writing talent they both bring to the table. Their delivery feels sharp and confident throughout, and the overall energy of the track creates a smooth, enjoyable atmosphere. Anyone who already follows Niontay and Ovrkast will likely find this team up worth the listen. With a release like this, it would not be surprising to see more music from the pair in the near future.
