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 lineup, we have the title track from the new Waxahatchee album, a gorgeous, gently composed duet with MJ Lenderman called “Right Back to It”; Julia Holter's lush, stunning new song “Spinning,” which drives her upcoming album; MGMT's poignant, hypnotic ballad “Nothing to Declare,” the latest single from their upcoming LP; “Friend of friend”, amazing, amnesiac– Cuts from Smile's second album; Jamie xx's upbeat club ballad “It's So Good”; Erica De Cassere's charming and nostalgic new song “Lucky”; Faye Webster's off-kilter collaboration with Lil Yachty, “Lego Ring”; And Courting's catchy and sexy new single “We Look Good Together (Big Words)” features production by DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ.
