Can you believe it’s been two decades since Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones, Dougie Poynter and Harry Judd joined forces to become pop group McFly? From dominating the charts with their No1 debut single 5 Colours In Her Hair to creating a supergroup with close pals Busted, the quartet have had their fair share of highs. In 2016, they began a three-year hiatus before smoothly picking up where they left off. Now, the lads show no signs of slowing down, despite three of them juggling young families with fame, and this summer they’re busier than ever with new album, Power To Play and an upcoming UK and Ireland tour.
Song You Need: Valee, Harry Fraud, Saba, and MAVI are going on a road trip

The FADER’s “Songs You Need” are the tracks we can’t stop playing. Check back every day for new music and follow along on our Spotify playlist. Valee’s career started with a sonic boom.
The Chicago rapper crash landed into the public eye with “Shell” in 2016, quickly gaining looks for a slick, understated flow best exemplified on his early Z-Money collab “Two 16’s,” where he raps straight eighth notes for 16 bars with out breaking a sweat. (Younger rappers have been attempting to replicate his style ad infinitum ever since.) He caught the attention of his city’s since-disgraced native son, Kanye West, who signed him to his ill-fated label G.O.O.D. Music, where Valee dropped one of the best projects of 2018.
But, as for so many other talented artists, G.O.O.D. proved to be more of a stumbling block than a boon. Read Next: Song You Need: 38 Spesh and Harry Fraud bring on heavy hitters to honor the dead Valee left the label in 2019 and started quietly self-releasing killer mixtapes that went largely unnoticed, and an excellent album (December 2022’s VOCABULAREE) that didn’t get the flowers it deserved.
His new project, however, will be hard to ignore: Virtuoso, a joint LP with producer extraordinaire Harry Fraud that’s stacked a mile high with big-name features, is due out next Friday, July 21. Its second single, “Watermelon Automobile,” premieres with The FADER today. The new track, which follows last week’s Action Bronson-featuring “Vibrant,” is a slightly off-key flex that thrives on its quirks.
