Clairo’s Summer Crush Anthem & 9 Other New Songs Out This Week

No matter how much we all try to play it cool, Clairo knows we just wanna feel desired sometimes. Now, she’s turned that emotion into an anthem that feels as easy as a walk in a park.

FLO perfects the brilliant genre of “sassy ‘90s R&B song telling off the unfaithful boyfriend.”

We’re calling it now: This will be the afrobeats bop blasting at block parties and cookouts this summer.

Electroclash and K-pop? Somehow NewJeans makes it work, and spins it with their signature sweetness into a cotton candy ditty of a song about slipping out of a toxic relationship.

Nemahsis’s “stick of gum” feels like a descendent of the charming, handcrafted indie pop (by the Lenkas and Lily Allens) that was huge in the ‘2010s.

With a guitar riff that sounds like an omen, DIIV’s “Raining On Your Pillow” offers futilistic but urgent commentary on the global war industrial machine.

Romy Mars, famously Sofia Coppola’s daughter, makes her music debut as a witty bedroom pop song-maker who describes bad luck as “the tire waiting on me drive drunk.”

Amyl, of Amyl and the Sniffers, was “in Tokyo, showing off my crack,” when haters around the world decided to chime in. This is her message to them.

The slightly off-tune recorder whistles in the otherwise funky beat of “The Groke” perfectly encapsulate the charming weirdness of Okay Kaya’s pop music.

This is dreamy rock music that’ll make you feel like a sad but glamorous movie star in the ‘60s.
