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 the phenomenal lead single from MJ Lenderman’s new album Manning Fireworks, ‘She’s Leaving You’, which alternates between witty, slacker verses and a massive chorus; Clairo’s gorgeous, folky new song ‘Nomad’; ‘Bells and Whistles’, the jaunty lead single off Bright Eyes’ upcoming album; Allegra Krieger’s electric, elegantly-worded ‘Never Arriving’, which leads her new album Art of the Unseen Infinity Machine; GIFT’s swirling, hypnotic ‘Later’; Peel Dream Magazine’s mesmerizing new single ‘Lie in the Gutter’; and Pom Pom Squad’s first single in three years, ‘Downhill’, which as dark as it is danceable.
