Stray Kids’ “S-Class” & 9 Other New Songs Out This Week

Stray Kids’ skull-rattling “특(S-Class)” — impressively written, composed, and arranged by its own members — sounds like listening to three different songs at once. In a good way.

Amid an onslaught of very dismal reviews, the singular bright spot for The Idol just might be its soundtrack, which — thanks to The Weeknd and a slate of superstars features — actually grips your attention.

Tove Lo’s “i like u” is less love song and more dance floor heater with its ecstatic molly-rolling hook.

Cardi B spares no souls on a knockout guest verse for “Put It On Da Floor Again”: “Shittin' on these b*tches, dunkin' on they heads/ Get these hoes some melatonin, put they ass to bed.”

XG’s two ten emcees show off impressive chops on this swaggy and sunny remake of Cordae and Anderson .Paak’s “Two Tens.”

Boys World’s “me, my girls & i” is Dua Lipa’s “New Rules” of 2023 (a great thing).

Arabic and alluring ‘90s-tinged R&B collide on this sultry number by Lana Lubany, one of the most exciting voices rising in Arab pop right now.

If another artist’s electroclash song about sex wasn’t your cup of tea, try out LSDXOXO’s tranced-up and raunchtastic take on the genre.

Los Angeles-based Dominican singer Esty hammers out a saucy and smooth reggaeton stunner with a melodic bridge that gives shades of Rosalía.

“I don’t want to teach a kid to fight/ For you,” Bully wearily sings on “Ms. America,” her frank, rock grief-song to a country that only keeps breaking our hearts.
