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 ‘Atopos’, the ominous, abrasive lead single from Björk’s new album; Sorry’s pensive yet dynamic ‘Key to the City’, the latest single from their upcoming album; Wednesday’s astounding epic ‘Bull Believer’, which marks their signing to Dead Oceans; ‘Greatest Hits’, an infectiously groovy highlight off Jockstrap’s debut LP; Winter’s slow, enchanting new single ‘good’, which features vocals from SASAMI; ‘2007’, the moving, cathartic title track to Miya Folick’s new EP; ‘OMG BRITT’, a hard-hitting trap track off Sudan Archives’ new album; and Courtney Marie Andrews’ ‘These Are the Good Old Days’, a gentle reminder to focus on the present.
