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 Los Campesinos!’s first new song in seven years, the electrifying, anthemic ‘Feast of Tongues’; ‘Love on the Outside’; the catchy, exhilarating lead single off Wishy’s debut album; Cassandra Jenkins’ warm, mesmerizing new song ‘Delphinium Blue’; Strand of Oaks’ hypnotically synthy and upbeat ‘Future Temple’; Ouri’s intimately entrancing ‘Baby Has a Frown’; Billie Eilish’s ‘L’Amour De Ma Vie’, a highlight from Hit Me Hard and Soft that flits between both ends of the album title; Fine’s ethereal ‘Coasting’, lifted from the Copenhagen musician’s debut LP; Loma’s ominous new single ‘Pink Sky’; and Belong’s eerily propulsive ‘Souvenir’, one of two singles from the duo’s first album in 13 years.
