We highlight the best new tracks that came out this week. You can listen to songs from Rina Sawayama and Dora Jar.
Rina Sawayama is on a show.
Rina Sawayama’s new album Hold The Girl is described as the movie soundtrack to every coming-of-age teen movie of the last decade. “Hurricanes” and “Phantom” make you feel like you’re riding off into the sunset with the main character. It’s time to add this to your main character list.
Dora Jar has a song called “Bump”.
Dora Jar conjures strange, hallucinogenic auras and the feeling of falling upward. It’s as if you’re stuck between lucidity and a mushroom comedown, and that’s the beauty of it Fans of FKA twigs and Rina Sawayama will find a lot to like in Jar’s music.
If you log onto www.pl4yg1rl.com you will receive a kiss from Lolo Zoua.
The pop music created by Lolo Zoua is both naughty and playful. She will be releasing her new album, PLAYGIRL, on October 14. With “pl4yg1rl”, the pop jet-setting entices the audience into her digital world with unabashed hedonism and a gripping concept: playgirls can have it all.
The party anthem is called “Internetgf” and is sung by Slush Puppy.
The new single by Slush Puppy is a track that is reminiscent of early Beastie Boys but is more contemporary. The vocals of Slush Puppy are hazy and boastful. It could become a go-to party anthem of the fall with booming 808s and earworm hooks. The new song is accompanied by a video that brings the song to life. It will make you want to go out with your friends on a Friday night while getting into a lot of trouble.
There is a futuristic dose of n-metal gold.
The post-hardcore veterans have found a balance between aggression and pop on their latest single. KellinQuinn’s performance has personality and memorable cadences that blend nicely with his signature falsetto tone. There is a series of fry screams over the guitars that could fit on the video game soundtrack. With the inclusion of industrial elements and theatrical sounds, there is a sense of timeliness.
Skullcrusher’s song “It’s Like a Secret” has a tear jerking power.
Helen Ballentine’s track “It’s Like A Secret” is definitely a track you won’t want to keep quiet about. This somber acoustic offering shows that you don’t need all the bells and whistles to have a triumphantly emotional song. There is a real tear- jerker.
“I just want to hide my face” is what Ektacy would prefer you to think.
“I just want to hide my face” kicks his new album, misery, into motion as EKKstaCY contemplates his insecurity with fame, death and the mundane. His latest offering continues to blend the best of emo and post-punk, colored by the confusion and frustration that accompany both growing up and being cast in the spotlight as a teenager.
Bad dreams can be seen on the “Indie Rock”.
“Indie Rock” is Lostboycrow’s latest single and it explores the dark corners of his mind and the fear of being a musician on the rise. He is able to tackle these serious topics with playful sarcasm while poking fun at the term “indie rock” being used as a lazy blanket term to describe music. The announcement of Lostboycrow’s new album, “Indie Pop”, comes with the release of the new single.
JAWNY went for a fast cruise.
A high-speed cruise down a barren suburb is served up in the video for Jawy’s new song, “adios.” Jawy kicks it passenger side in a real-life Hot Wheel as his driver darts between lanes over top of a breezy instrumental that belies the track’s darker meaning.
