There’s so much music coming out all the time that it’s hard to keep track. On those days when the influx of new tracks is particularly overwhelming, we sift through the noise to bring you a curated list of the most interesting new releases (the best of which will be added to our Best New Songs playlist). Below, check out our track roundup for Friday, January 30, 2026.
Georgia Gets By – ‘Faded Rose’
Following a couple of EPs, 2024’s Split Lip and 2023’s Fish Bird Baby Boy, Georgia Nott has announced the debut Georgia Gets By album. Heavy Meadow is led by the ethereal and heavily symbolic ‘Faded Rose’, which comes paired with a Lena Hinde-directed video.
Noah Kahan – ‘The Great Divide’
Noah Kahan has released ‘The Great Divide’, the reflective title track from his forthcoming album. “The last five years have been the single most challenging, complicatedly beautiful, and life-altering of my career,” he shared in a press release. “I was somewhere I understood, and suddenly I was somewhere completely foreign. I was living in the opportunity I always wanted but felt disoriented and unsure of whether I deserved it. Writing for this album was a balancing act of trying to go back in time and move forward in the same moment. Songwriting has always been the way I reflect on my life, and I hope these songs show you a glimpse of what this journey has looked like.”
Namasenda – ‘Cola’
Namasenda unveiled her debut album, Unlimited Ammo, in 2021 on PC Music, following it up with 2023’s Ambrosia EP. Today, the Swedish pop artist is back with the slinky, infectious new track ‘Cola’, which is accompanied by a music video.
Prism Shores – ‘Kid Gloves’
Montreal’s Prism Shores have announced a new LP they recorded with Preoccupations/Ribbon Skirt collaborator Scott “Monty” Munro. Softest Attack arrives April 10, and the jangly yet punchy lead single ‘Kid Gloves’ is out now.
The Messthetics & James Brandon Lewis – ‘Deface the Currency’
The Messthetics and James Brandon Lewis have dropped the title track from their forthcoming LP Deface the Currency. Brendan Canty and Robin Bell co-directed the discordant track’s music video.
Sorry Ghost – ‘inside voice’
Los Angeles indie-rock quartet Sorry Ghost have shared a sparkly, dynamic song called ‘inside voice’. The track is “our earnest shot at telling people we’re more than internet fad; we have something to say and an authenticity to display that we feel hasn’t been said or done in indie,” the band explained.
