Consequence’s Origins is a recurring series that gives artists a place to break down everything that went into their latest release. Today, Sinkane dissects his new song, “How Sweet Is Your Love.”
Sinkane (aka multi-instrumentalist Ahmed Gallab) has announced his fifth studio album, We Belong, out on April 5th via City Slang Records. In addition, the pop and funk artist has announced a US tour and released the new single, “How Sweet Is Your Love,” along with its accompanying music video
In a compelling preview of what is sure to follow on We Belong, the song is dancy and fun. It’s in part inspired by the American punk scenes of the ’70s and ’80s, as well as the soul music of Gallab’s native Sudan.
“‘How Sweet Is Your Love’ is about remaining in the present and feeling all of your feelings as fully as possible,” Gallab tells Consequence about the tune.

With this week’s release of its fourth and final season, “Casual” finished a magical run. One of Hulu’s first original series, the show managed its main characters’ personal turmoil with great care, avoiding some of the teen and midlife cliches that can befall so many other TV shows.
Aside from sharp writing and an influx of strong directorial voices, “Casual” also greatly benefited from having the best soundtrack in the business. It’s a catalogue of songs, bridging decades’ worth of sensibilities, that worked in concert with Mateo Messina’s gentle, understanding score to make a solid musical foundation for the show’s 44 episodes.
As music supervisor for all four seasons, Tricia Halloran helped bring together that wide-ranging collection of songs, from Dirty Projectors to Cyndi Lauper, Sinkane to Richard Hawley, Anderson .Paak to Lucius. As Halloran told IndieWire, her process benefited from a great amount of trust...

Earlier this week, CBS announced that former One Direction member — and latest addition to the Christopher Nolan Players — Harry Styles is slated for a week-long residency on “The Late Late Show with James Corden.” For four consecutive nights, starting on May 15, Styles will serve as the resident musical artist.
With that “Dunkirk” appearance on the horizon and a solo music career still in its early stages, you could do worse than Styles when picking someone to hand the keys to an entire week’s worth of late night. And having been through the process of a breakneck sketch show schedule, he’ll probably be a capable comedy sidekick for Corden.
But what if this residency is a smashing success? Which other bands and artists would be ripe for tenures of their own on the other major daily late-night shows?
Jon Batiste and Stay Human hold down the fort for “The Late Show.
