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 Megan Thee Stallion’s hard-hitting new banger ‘Hiss’, which takes shots at a number of people (one of which certainly didn’t take the diss lightly); ‘All My Exes Live in Vortexes’, the driving, cathartic lead single from Rosie Tucker’s fourth album; Bnny’s new single ‘Good Stuff’, which turns a haunting ache to a kind of bliss; ‘Snake Plant (The Past Is Still Alive)’, one of two stirring new songs from Hurray for the Riff Raff’s upcoming album; Adult Jazz’s first new music in eight years, ‘Dusk Song’, an uncompromising depiction of climate anxiety; Phosphorescent’s ‘Revelator’, the gorgeous, open-hearted lead single from his first album since 2018; Emily Yacina’s sparkling, intimate new collaboration with Rostam, ‘Trick of the Light’; Bullion’s Carly Rae Jepsen-featuring ‘Rare’, a song of dreamy, hushed intimacy; and Sunny Day Real Estate’s beautiful 7-minute track ‘Novum Vetus’, the band’s first new music in a decade.
