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've got Megan Thee Stallion's powerful new band “Hiss,” which is shooting a number of people (one of whom definitely didn't take it lightly); “All My Exes Live in Vortexes”, the propulsive and comforting lead single from Rosie Tucker's fourth studio album; Bnny's new single, “Good Stuff,” turns excruciating pain into a kind of bliss; “Snake Plant (The Past Is Still Alive),” one of two exciting new songs from Hurray for the upcoming Riff Raff album; The first new adult jazz musical in eight years, “Dusk Song,” an uncompromising depiction of climate anxiety; Phosphorescent's “Revelator,” the gorgeous, open-hearted single from his first album from 2018; Emilie Yasina's sparkling new collaboration with Rostam, “Trick of the Light”; Carly Rae Jepsen from Bullion features “Rare,” a song with a quiet, dreamy, intimate feel; and Sunny Day Real Estate's beautiful 7-minute ballad “Novum Vetus”, the band's first new music in a decade.
