Sound Check returns with week with Long Beach R&B star Giveon, who learns the hard way that this format may be fun, but it’s also about as challenging as it gets.

After telling host Jeremy Hecht that it’s one of the more interesting interview styles he’s participated in, he’s immediately hit with a round pitting two of his faves — Frank Ocean and Frank Sinatra — against each other, and revises his opinion in a hurry. He also takes on alt-R&B fixtures Miguel and PartyNextDoor, Giveon’s Canadian collaborators Drake and Justin Bieber, and of course, hometown heroes Warren G and Sublime.

Here’s how it works: Jeremy plays two songs for the guest artist, who has to choose one and explain their choice, giving Jeremy a chance to learn their musical taste. Jeremy then has to guess the artist’s life anthem, the song they’d take to a desert island, which the guest wrote down earlier on a piece of paper. Our production team has also given him a decoy song, and Jeremy has to guess which is correct based on what he’s learned in the previous rounds.

Watch Giveon take on the Sound Check challenge above. New episodes of Sound Check drop every Wednesday at noon ET/9 a.m. PT on Uproxx’s YouTube.

A couple days ago, FKA Twigs teased some new music by writing on social media, “and so the offerings begin again… if EUSEXUA was the tip of the tongue, PERFECTLY is the oesophagus… i wonder what lays in the belly of the beast. PERFECTLY 16.07.2025.” She also shared a quick snippet of “Perfectly,” which she had played live previously. Now, we have the whole song.

Twigs opens the club-ready song, “Another day, leave it all to another day / Leave it all to another day, another me / And when I’m done, they’ll say I did it perfectly.” In the refrain, she expands, “A sky of blue, a sea of green / A messy room, fits perfectly / Inside my head I have the best time / Yes, in my head, I have the best time.”

Notably, the song arrives Twigs played unreleased songs in Brooklyn, including “Perfectly, and teased, “I’m playing DELUXUA,” seemingly reference to a deluxe edition of Eusexua, although one has yet to be announced.

Meanwhile, Twigs recently reminisced about being roommates with ASAP Rocky, saying, “I used to live with ASAP Yams and Rocky in LA, and we had an apartment together. I would always cook for them because they would never eat. They were boys — they would never be able to cook for themselves.”

Listen to “Perfectly” above.
