New Music Friday this week opens with the return of Years & Years. Now an Olly Alexander solo project, Y&Y's third studio album Night Call is both a re-introduction to who Olly *is* as a pop star - having much more in common with the band's 2018 Palo Santo than 2014's indie-adjacent Communion - and an exciting new path for Years & Years to take, which a number of up-tempo bangers like Sweet Talker with Galantis and Sweet Talker imitating previous synth-pop greatness from Lady Gaga and Dua Lipa. See Years & Years' Top 20 most popular tracks in the UK here.

We also have a link-up between two small-but-mighty pop stars; Griff and Sigrid's Head On Fire has a more experimental, indie-leaning vibe than you were probably thinking, with an interesting drop in the chorus right as things start to get going.
