Want to stay ahead of the curve and listen to some new songs? Here is our latest eclectic roundup of the best new music you need to hear right now.
Beach House – Black Car
The seventh studio album by Beach House has arrived and it's everything fans and critics wanted and more! It's called 7 and it includes their latest single 'Black Car' which you should listen to below.
Travis Scott – Watch ft. Lil Uzi Vert & Kanye West
'Watch' is the new single from Travis Scott's upcoming album AstroWorld. The cool name for the album comes from a now-closed Texas theme park Scott used to go to. The rapper has been spotted in the studio with PARTYNEXTDOOR and Tame Impala and last years' single 'Butterfly Effect' should be on the album!
Childish Gambino – This Is America
Donald Glover released one of the most talked-about music videos in years with 'This Is America'. You've probably seen it already by now but if you haven't spotted the hooded man riding the white horse and singer SZA sitting on a car toward the end of the video, give it another try. And if you haven't paid close attention to the lyrics, listen below.
Florence + The Machine – Hunger
'Hunger' is such a powerful song that we're not sure we'll be able to cope with how good the new album High As Hope is going to be when it is released on 29 June... And the music video is a must-watch!
LSD – Genius ft. Sia, Diplo, Labrinth
Sia, Diplo and Labrinth decided to unite forces and create a supergroup under the name LSD. The accompanying music video is super trippy with its acid colours and surreal animation.
Oneohtrix Point Never – Black Snow
With the first single from upcoming new album Age Of, experimental electronic music composer and producer Oneohtrix Point Never (aka Daniel Lopatin) reveals his own singing voice with the help of frequent collaborator Anohni. The album, out on 1 June, revolves around the theme of the 'fall of mankind' and the music video for 'Black Snow' is his directorial debut.
Cautious Clay – Cold War
Joshua Karpeth aka Cautious Clay finally shared a music video for 'Cold War'. The soulful song, which he called his 'magnum opus', is featured on his Blood Type EP.
Snail Mail – Heat Wave
Snail Mail's Lindsey Jordan continues to rise with new single 'Heat Wave' and finds herself singing yet another killer lo-fi rock track while battling four ice hockey players in the music video. Her debut album
Lush is out on 8 June.
Jon Hopkins – Everything Connected
'Everything Connected' is the second single from Jon Hopkins' impressive new electronic album Singularity. If you have listened to it yet, we recommend you listen not only to the song below but to the entire record!
Janelle Monáe – I Like That
Janelle Monáe's new album Dirty Computer has exceeded her fans' expectations and with the promotional single 'I Like That' she delivers yet another perfect R&B number together with stunning visuals.
The Voidz – Coul as a Ghoul
Judging by its deconstructed lo-fi sound and its "I'm going insane" chorus, The Voidz' latest release 'Coul as a Ghoul' is pretty unique. You won't find it on their new album
Virtue (unless you own the Japanese edition) but it's definitely worth a listen.
Touché Amoré – Green
Touché Amoré is back with a hard-hitting new single entitled 'Green' but there's no news of a new album yet. The post-hardcore band has been on the road touring with Turnstile on their Time & Space tour.
Ariana Grande – No Tears Left To Cry
You've probably already heard Ariana Grande's new song by now but we thought it was still worth a mention with its larger-than-life vocals and positive message of hope and resilience. 'No Tears Left To Cry' is the lead single from her upcoming fourth studio album Sweetener which will be out on 20 July.
Leon Bridges – Beyond
The modern R&B and neo-soul prodigy Leon Bridges continues to impress with his latest single 'Beyond' from his new album Good Thing.
Lotic – Hunted
Berlin-based electronic artist Lotic has a new song entitled 'Hunted' and is preparing the release of his debut album Power this summer. The record is inspired by Texan marching bands and Ta-Nehisi Coates' book Between the World and Me and is out on 13 July.
