Throughout the week, our Best New Songs playlist is updated with the latest releases that have captured our attention the most. This could be a single leading up to an album release or a newly revealed deep cut. Every Monday, we compile a list of the best new songs that were released over the past week (the eligibility period runs from Monday to Sunday night) in this segment dedicated to the best new music.
This week’s lineup includes Ethel Cain’s ‘Punish’, a brutally haunting and honest introduction to her upcoming project ‘Perverts’; ‘Endsong’, the epic 10-minute closing track from The Cure’s first new album in 16 years; ‘Sticky’, a lively banger from Tyler, the Creator’s ‘CHROMAKOPIA’ featuring Sexyy Red, Lil Wayne, and GloRilla; Fabiana Palladino’s vibrant and captivating new song ‘Drunk’; Wishy’s fuzzy and endearing ‘Planet Popstar’; Tunde Adebimpe’s jittery and captivating ‘Magnetic’, marking the TV on the Radio singer’s official solo debut and first release since signing with Sub Pop; and Lauren Mayberry’s ‘Crocodile Tears’, an infectious teaser from the Chvrches singer’s debut solo album.
