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 Jessie Ware and Romy’s exuberant collaboration ‘Lift You Up’, which they debuted at Glastonbury; Quavo and Lana Del Rey’s enticing team-up ‘Tough’, which pairs twangy guitars and trap beats – “country-trap,” as a press release puts it; Zach Bryan’s Burce Springsteen collab ‘Sandpaper’, a standout from the country star’s new album The Great American Bar Scene London that’s clearly indebted to Springsteen’s ‘I’m on Fire’; and London trio Honeyglaze’s ‘Cold Caller’, a delicately winding song about the desperation that stems from deep loneliness.
