Album review
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 Sky Ferreira’s striking and defiant new single ‘Leash’, recorded for the soundtrack of the upcoming A24 film Babygirl; ‘Head & Spine’, another punchy and exuberant preview of Anxious’ forthcoming LP; ‘The Tooth Fairy’, a touching, minimal standout on Advance Base’s new record; jasmine.4.t’s tender, heart-rending ‘You Are the Morning’, the title track off her boygenius-produced album; ‘Southern Life (What It Must Be Like)’, a swirling track from Sharon Van Etten & the Attachment Theory’s forthcoming record; and London-based outfit mary in the junkyard’s raw, mesmerizing new song ‘bear walk’.
