Antidote

Antidote

Antidote is home to the best new alternative music in the UK and beyond—a celebration of independence, innovation and artists who don’t just push boundaries but reduce them to rubble. This week, TikTok troubadour sombr is leading the playlist with “undressed”, his vulnerable track about not wanting to take his clothes off for someone new. The teenage singer-songwriter admits fame has happened quickly and it was tough to adjust to. “The weirdest part is when I first got signed, I was in school,” he tells Apple Music’s Hanuman Welch. “I was 17, and everyone around me was 30 and above. It was unexpected and an overnight thing. Ever since then it’s been constant. I’ve gotten the hang of it over the past year and I love it.” It’s just as well, because “undressed” is proving to be one of his biggest hits yet. Joining sombr on this week’s playlist are new tracks from Wunderhorse, shame and Nilüfer Yanya. Like all the artists featured, Antidote is always evolving—so keep checking back, and if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
