Here’s Mikky Ekko‘s Benny Blanco + John Hill-produced new single/anthem, which serves as the first official follow-up to his Clams Casino-produced “Pull Me Down” (although he’s also mixed in a pretty notable collab and subsequent Grammy performance with Rihanna and a moving, self-produced “ruff demo” as well). The immaculate, rousing “Kids” is out now on iTunes; catch Ekko next month supporting the great Jessie Ware on a handful of dates in the UK.

Sophie‘s BIPP / ELLE 12″ is out now on Numbers.
