UKNY for November 24

Back in 2021, Manchester's Doves took a step back from touring behind their 2020 album, The Universal Want, while the band's Jimi Goodwin took a mental health break. Three years later, the trio is back and Goodwin, Jez Williams, and Andy Williams will not only release a new album, Constellations for the Lonely, in February, but they've got a major UK tour beginning February 25 in Glasgow. On tonight's "UKNY" at 11 p.m., the album's gorgeous first single, which Goodwin says was partly inspired by Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner" and the fateful final speech delivered by the character of Roy Batty, played by the late Rutger Hauer.

The Glasgow-London duo Sacred Paws, who won Scottish Album of the Year for their 2017 debut album, Strike a Match, have returned with a new song. London's lower-case loving mary in the junkyard have also followed up their 2024 EP, this old house, with a just-released single and Michael Kiwanuka's fourth album, Small Changes, is blissfully out in the world at last.

Nectar Woode's second EP, Head Above Water, showcases her sweet, clear, soulful voice and Hull's bdrmm have a third album ahead, Microtonic, which might step into dance far more than anything else they've released to date.

Also, Sade Adu's beautiful song for her son, found on the just-released Red Hot collection, TRANSA.

British and global releases on "UKNY," Sundays from 11p.m,-midnight, on 90.7 FM, streaming online, and in the Archives after broadcast.
