New music & announcements this week from Chuff Media

NEW MUSIC OUT NOW

LADY GAGA – ‘The Dead Dance’ – Listen Here
14-time GRAMMY, Oscar and Emmy Award winner Lady Gaga has released new single “The Dead Dance”.  The accompanying video marks her first creative collaboration with visionary director Tim Burton, who brought the story to life on location at Isla de las Muñecas—Mexico’s infamous Island of the Dolls.

THE LAST DINNER PARTY – ‘The Scythe’ – Listen Here
First conceived as a breakup song in Abigail Morris’ teens, the poised slow burn of ‘The Scythe’ exhibits the considerable songwriting range possessed by The Last Dinner Party, who first caught worldwide attention through their brand of potent theatrical rock.

LOLA YOUNG – ‘Spiders’ – Listen Here
An emotional anchor on Lola’s upcoming album (I’m Only F**king Myself, due out 19th September), ‘Spiders’, is a blistering build of a ballad. Incorporating 90’s-style grunge production, which intertwines seamlessly with Lola’s raw, unbridled emotion, conveyed through her lyricism and vocal performance, ‘Spiders’ unlocks a deeper level of Lola’s artistry.

CELESTE – ‘Woman of Faces’ – Listen Here
‘Woman Of Faces’ is a stirring, string-drenched ballad, its orchestral swell slowly rising around Celeste’s forlorn, captivating vocal. It is a gripping, emotional gem underlining just how much her highly anticipated new record is worth the wait and then some.

GOOD NEIGHBOURS – ‘People Need People’ – Listen Here
A widescreen anthem centred on friendship, solidarity and the moments we lean on each other most. With luminous synths, pulsing percussion and a soaring chorus made to be sung shoulder-to-shoulder, it’s a rousing reminder that no one has to go it alone.

ONLY THE POETS – ‘Saké’ – Listen Here
Taken from their debut album, And I’d Do It Again, out 30th January 2026, the track navigates heartbreak, resilience, and self-discovery with fearless honesty, captured in the raw emotion and ambition of a group who have spent many years building their career from the ground up.
