Throughout the week, we're updating our Best New Songs playlist with the new releases that caught our attention the most, whether it's a single that preceded an album release or a newly unveiled deep dive. And every Monday, we round up the best new songs released over the past week (the eligibility period begins Monday and ends Sunday night) in this best-of-new-music roundup.
On this week's list, we have “Von dutch,” the chaotically challenging lead single from Charli XCX's dance-inspired album Naughty; Leading Cloud Nothings, the infectious “Running Through the Campus,” the first single from their new album Final summer; the extremely vulnerable piano ballad of bullying “Atom Bomb”; “Bite Down,” the introspective and contemplative lead single from Rosalie’s upcoming album; The new single from New York-based singer-songwriter Hannah Prusinski goes by the name h. Broz, the influential and arbiter of “Keep Changing”; Benjamin Bowker's “Doves,” directed by Armand Hammer, is a haunting addition to last year's novel. We buy diabetes test strips Which moves and disrupts its way through nine minutes; The electronic duo Clothes' first single, the vibrant, shape-shifting “Kingdom,” features former Dirty Projectors singer Amber Coffman; And Ophelias' fiery, emotional new track “Black Ribbon.”
