"Issues/Hold On" - Teyana Taylor

Not the video I thought we'd ever get, but the one we definitely needed. Damn.

"R.I.P." - Sofia Reyes ft. Rita Ora & Anitta

Three literal queens.

"Sip The Wine" - Lola Kirke

I'm not usually this into covers, but Lola really nails this one.

"Love Me Like" - Rayana Jay ft. DUCKWRTH

A catchy ode to modern romance.

"BKLYNLDN" - Shura

Shura gets that feeling of all-consuming desire just right.

"Spirit Now Moves" - Ruthie

Fun indie to soundtrack your spring.

"Wasteland" - Tierra Whack

It's Whack's world, and we're just living in it.

"Win" - Nasty Cherry

Okay, I can forgive all of Charli XCX's promotion of this, because she really knows how to co-write a track.

"Numb Numb Juice" - ScHoolboy Q

ScHoolboy Q shows he knows how to make a comeback with this track.

"No New Friends" - LSD ft. Sia, Diplo, and Labrinth

I'm intrigued by what's to come from this supergroup.

"Wasted Youth" - Jenny Lewis

Yee to the haw.

"i need to be alone." - girl in red

When she said "I'm gonna lose my shit," I felt that.

Lux Prima -Karen O and Danger Mouse

What did we do to deserve a whole new album from the queen of deep cuts?

Run Wild Run Free - Zacari

When they have a stamp of approval from Kendrick Lamar, you have to listen.

"Relax" - Abby Jasmine ft. Taylor Belle

Abby Jasmine is putting herself first in "Relax."
