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 Beyoncé’s stomping, assertive new single ‘MY HOUSE’, which plays during the credits of her Renaissance world tour concert film; ‘jamcod’, the dizzying lead single off the Jesus and Mary Chain’s upcoming LP Glasgow Eyes; ‘Hollowed Out’, the lead single from Ducks Ltd.’s sophomore album, a typically propulsive song about standing helpless in the face of catastrophe; Grandaddy’s ‘Cabin in My Mind’, a song of hushed, introspective beauty; MGMT’s ‘Bubblegum Dog’, a strangely hooky track that comes with an equally eccentric visual paying homage to ‘90s alt-rock videos; and ‘Tunnel Lights’, another mesmerizing single from Chelsea Wolfe’s forthcoming album.
