Throughout the week, we update our Best New Songs playlist with the new releases that caught our attention the most, be it a single leading up to the release of an album or a newly unveiled deep cut. And each Monday, we round up the best new songs released over the past week (the eligibility period begins on Monday and ends Sunday night) in this best new music segment.
On this week’s list, we have Ethel Cain’s ‘Punish’, a brutally haunting and honest introduction to her upcoming project Perverts; ‘Endsong’, the spectacular 10-minute closer off the Cure’s first new album in 16 years; ‘Sticky’, a rambunctious banger from Tyler, the Creator’s CHROMAKOPIA that features Sexyy Red, Lil Wayne, and GloRilla; Fabiana Palladino’s vibrant, alluring new song ‘Drunk’; Wishy’s fuzzy and endearing ‘Planet Popstar’; Tunde Adebimpe’s jittery, captivating ‘Magnetic’, the TV on the Radio singer’s official solo debut and first release since signing to Sub Pop; and Lauren Mayberry’s ‘Crocodile Tears’, an infectious preview of the Chvrches singer’s debut solo LP.
