21 New Songs Out Today

So many artists, so many songs, so little time. Each week we review a handful of new albums (of all genres), round up even more new music that we’d call “indie,” and talk about what metal is coming out. We post music news, track premieres, and more all day. We update a playlist weekly of some of our current favorite tracks. Here’s a daily roundup with a bunch of interesting, newly released songs in one place.

KIM GORDON – “DIRTY TECH”

“I was kind of musing about, is my next boss going to be an AI chatbot?” Kim Gordon is speaking to the subject of the second single from her upcoming solo album PLAY ME. “We’re the first ones whose lights are going to go out—not the tech billionaires. It’s so abstract that people can’t comprehend.”

TINARIWEN – “IMIDIWAN TAKYADAM” (FT. JOSÉ GONZÁLEZ)

Tinariwen are releasing their new album Hoggar next month, and they’ve given us another preview with “Imidiwan Takyadam,” which features José González. Tinariwen founder Ag Alhabib says, “Friends, look at what is unfolding before us. This is a song I wrote long ago, yet today its echo feels stronger than ever. It speaks of our people, the Tamasheq, scattered across distant lands, slowly losing the threads of their culture and their ancestral heritage. It is a call to memory and to conscience – a reminder not to forget our brothers and sisters who endure suffering under the tyranny of short-sighted and foolish leaders.”

HANNAH LEW (GRASS WIDOW, COLD BEAT) – “SUNDAY”

“The video for Sunday is a re-enactment of a dream I had, that the song is also based on,” says former Grass Widow and Cold Beat bassist/singer Hannah Lew. “It was surreal to embody the subconscious & only then did I divine the meaning of the dream. The whole experience was very ritualistic . This was only available due to Luciano’s ability to seamlessly travel between the waking & dreamworld, sorcerer he is. And the icing on the cake was pulling Mike Stoltz into the dream, with his video synth wizardry. I am truly lucky to have long time friends & collaborators who have been willing & able to dream with me like this.” Hannah’s self-titled solo debut is due April 10.

R&B singer Victoria Monét had a big breakthrough with 2023’s Jaguar II and its big single “On My Mama,” and now she’s presumably gearing up for her next LP. No announcement yet, but she just dropped the single “Let Me,” and it feels like the kind of bold, attention-grabbing song you’d want to start an album cycle with.

ELUCID & SEBB BASH – “MAKE ME WISE”

ELUCID of Armand Hammer has shared the second taste of his anticipated, Sebb Bash-produced new album I Guess U Had To Be There, and it’s as darkly hypnotic as you’d hope from ELUCID.
