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.
This week’s list includes ‘Baddy on the Floor’, Jamie xx’s euphoric collaboration with Honey Dijon; Debby Friday’s hard-hitting new track ‘To the Dancefloor’; ‘So Long, London’, an emotional highlight from the new Taylor Swift album; ‘Starburster’, the thrilling, eerie, yet tender lead single off Fontaines D.C.’s upcoming album Romance; Cassandra Jenkins’ gentle and gorgeous ‘Only One’, which leads the Brooklyn singer-songwriter’s new album; Been Stellar’s ‘Sweet’, a captivating preview of the indie rock quintet’s debut LP; Ekko Astral’s ‘on brand’, a deliciously caustic track off the band’s debut full-length; Good Looks’ vibrant, heartfelt new song ‘Self-destructor’; the latest from Nate Amos’ project This Is Lorelei, ‘I’m All Fucked Up’, which is buoyant, sincere, and full of humour; and A. G. Cook’s luminous, hypnotic new single ‘Soulbreaker’.
