New Music from Ye, PinkPantheress, Shygirl ROSALIA & More!
STANDOUT SINGLE:
Kanye West
“Security”
Industrial hip-hop engineered by Balenciaga soundtracks Ye’s custody battle in real time. It reminds me of a much more burned out and sinister version of Björk’s “Sue Me”.
STANDOUT SINGLE:
Kanye West/Future
“Happy”
Speaking of burned out, “DO I LOOK HAPPY TO YOU?!?!” has got to be one of the funniest choruses of the year. This is essentially a well-made Future track with some great Ye riffing in the second half.
STANDOUT SINGLE:
Mura Masa/Lil Uzi Vert /PinkPantheress/Shygirl
“bbycakes”
Mura Masa and PinkPantheress are back once again with a sparkly, pretty pop track. They bring Shygirl and Lil Uzi Vert for two very unlikely and great performances, but of course Pantheress styles the show with Euphoria bars like “I know I messed up when I was seeing your best friend.”
STANDOUT SINGLE:
Hannah Diamond
“Staring at the Ceiling”
HANNAH HAS RETURNED! The PC Music very much still has it with sharp verses and choruses, and a great overall vibe that has carried over from her previous work. Production is really sick too.
ROSALIA
“CHICKEN TERIYAKI”
STANDOUT SINGLE:
SASAMI/No Home
“Squeeze”
The difference between this and the material on her last album is so shockingly great, it’s almost hard to believe. I love the hard rock energy on this with drum flurries and blaring guitars, yet there is still an artpop element at paly with SASAMI’s wide-ranging performance.
Swedish House Mafia/The Weekend
“Moth To A Flame (Chris Lake Remix)”
STANDOUT SINGLE:
Jean Dawson
“PORN ACTING”
I didn’t know exactly what to expect from this artist or this track just by the look of it, but this kicks ass. Great over-the-top performance from Jean himself, but the guitar work, both electric and acoustic, also adds a ton of character.
KayCyy/Gesaffelstein
“OKAY!”
DEER/D.F.P.
“Pink Kisses"
Kilo Kish
“NO APOLOGY!"
BabyTron/DaBoii
“Chess Players”
Denzel Curry/slowthai
“Zatoichi”
STANDOUT SINGLE:
Sevdaliza
“System”
Sevdaliza combines tasteful minimal trip-hop with artpop vocals for a slow building, snappy new song.
Mdou Moctar
“Nakanegh Dich”
Klypi/404T2K
“Thoughts”
Noah Grigoroff
“Shatter Zone”
