Must listen: Kwabs - Perfect Ruin

Bermondsey boy Kwabs has been bubbling under for a year or two now but, if there's any justice in the world, his new single should see him instantly promoted to music's a-list.

Perfect Ruin marries a glowing gospel melody to the stark arrangement of a James Blake b-side, and it's a song to reckon with - largely thanks to Kwabs' stunning, from-the-pit-of-his stomach vocal.

Originally released in 2013, it's been remastered for the singer's debut album, Love + War (due in May) and given an appropriately icy video, filmed in Scandinavia.
