We were so taken by UK-based French-English artist NUUXS and her sultry debut single Holy Man three years ago that we promptly jumped on the chance to premiere the song on IHM. Fast forward to this summer, and NUUXS has unleashed yet another lightning hot release from her forthcoming Red Tape Vol. 2 mixtape. Options is the perfect summer pop banger, an nectarous swaying song with warm synth pads and infectious tropical beats. Its Spanish guitar, headpans, and foxy allure are like a balmy Gloria Estefan, 80s Madonna, and Rihanna cocktail, with a drizzle of Rosalía to top it all off. NUUXS states: “Options is about believing in the possibility of a better life, better job, better situation, better days, better anything that is holding you back from living your best life. Especially during times you think you won’t be able to get through the day, or get out of bed, or even love again. This is for anyone who feels like they’re falling and everything is spiralling out of control; for the ones who want to 'get up and go, move on'. Expressing yourself without inhibitions, dance, sing, laugh until you cry, let yourself heal and start again.” Her Red Tape Vol. 2 mixtape will be out August 16th via Goldun Egg / Absolute. It follows on 2018′s Red Tape Vol. 1 which earned widespread praise from esteemed outlets and radio play from BBC Introducing, Amazing Radio, and more. You can also stream Options via a bevy of, well, options, here.
