New Music Fridays, May 25th, 2018


Other than the release of Shawn Mendes' new album. this week's crop of new music is mostly from artists not usually found on this posting.  I only chose four songs to share, but there are lots of honorable mentions below, so check it out...

Nervous - Shawn Mendes

The big story of the week is the release of Shawn Mendes' eponymous third studio album, and I would think that anyone who pays attention to pop music would say that the young impresario is firing on all cylinders.  Yes, Mr. Mendes has the keenest of sensibilities when it comes to creating songs with universal appeal, and the album will not disappoint.  One of my favorites from the new set is this catchy and cute song about, well, being nervous at meeting somebody new.  Check out Nervous...


Bracelet - Lauv

Now I've had my eye, and ear, on American singer Lauv ever since he provided guest vocals on DJ Snake's A Different Way.  He's been releasing a few songs lately, all of which I've sadly neglected to share, and his newest, Bracelet, shows exactly why you should check him out.  Have a listen...


Rise - Jonas Blue, Jack & Jack

British deejay/producer Jonas Blue has always made pleasant, pop-oriented dance tunes and his latest, with pop duo Jack & Jack, is more of the same.  Check out Rise...


Toast to our Differences - Rudimental, Shungudzo, Protoje, Hak Baker

British music makers Rudimental have released a song with Shungudzo, Protoje, and Hak Baker that celebrates diversity in a world music jam that's simply awesome.  Check out Toast to our Differences...
