New Music Fridays: September 8th, 2017 - The Week's Hottest New Tracks

Hello and welcome back to John's Music World New Music Fridays.  As always, there is some great new stuff this week from the likes of Hailee Steinfeld, rapper ILoveMakonnen, Kelly Clarkson, Sam Smith and more.  Check out this week's hottest new tunes...

Let Me Go - Hailee Steinfeld, with Alesso and Florida Georgia Line

I have been loving everything actress turned singer Hailee Steinfeld has done so far, from the sweet and tender Starving to  the ultra catchy Most Girls.  This time Steinfeld's joined forces with country music duo Florida Georgia Line and Swedish deejay/producer Alesso for another irresistible pop gem.  Take a listen to this sure to be hit... 

Love - ILoveMakonnen, featuring Rae Stremmurd

Rapper ILoveMakonnen has come up with an immediately likable rock tinged tune that had me loving it from the moment I clicked play,  Check out this foot tapper...

Love So Soft - Kelly Clarkson

Oh yeah, Kelly Clarkson is back and sounding better than ever on this catchy new sexy tune from her upcoming 8th studio album, Meaning of Life.  If you're a Kelly Clarkson fan, you are gonna LOVE this one...

Too Good at Goodbyes - Sam Smith

There's one more notable comeback this week and that is by former Best New Artist Grammy Award winner Sam Smith.  The smooth British crooner has released a brand new gem from an upcoming second studio album and its as stellar as anything he's done before.  Check out the beautiful Too Good at Goodbyes...  

Up All Night - Beck

Oh man, I used to love Beck.  I absolutely wore out his 1996 record Odelay, but he completely fell off my radar since then.  When I saw this tune listed on Spotify's New Music Fridays, I was intrigued that he was still making music and checked it out.  Bottom line...he's still got it.  This one's catchy and pleasant and he just might make me a fan again.  Check out Up All Night...

Sometimes, like this week, it's difficult to come up with only five new songs to whet your appetites, so in addition to these great tracks, here are some other notable new releases:

Dusk Till Dawn - Zayn, with Sia

Disco Tits - Tove Lo

You're the Best Thing Abut Me - U2

I Just Can't - R3HAB, Quintino

Shockandawe - Miguel
