Throughout the week, we update our Best New Songs playlist with the new releases that caught our attention the most, be it a single leading up to the release of an album or a newly unveiled deep cut. And each Monday, we round up the best new songs released over the past week (the eligibility period begins on Monday and ends Sunday night) in this best new music segment.
On this week’s list, we have Mannequin Pussy’s abrasive yet euphoric new single, ‘I Got Heaven’; ‘A Barely Lit Path’, the hauntingly grandiose lead single from Oneohtrix Point Never’s upcoming album; Katy Kirby’s first single for ANTI- Records, the tender, conversational ‘Cubic Zirconia’; Helena Deland’s intimately gorgeous ‘Bright Green Vibrant Grey’, which leads the singer-songwriter’s new album Goodnight Summerland; ‘andalucia plays’, an immersive, emotional highlight from Slowdive’s everything is alive; and ‘Watcher’, a beautifully contemplative track from Maria BC’s forthcoming LP Spike Field.
