Out of the many new songs released this week, I only bookmarked eight, probably the lowest ever. No big names, not a lot of dance stuff, not much at all. In fact as I went through the listing of 100+ tracks, I was hitting the next button very quickly and often. That being said, only two of the eight new music tunes released this week are truly worthy of a spotlight, so for what it's worth, check em out...
Drunk and I Miss You - KIDDO, Decco
One of the better tunes I bookmarked this week is this pop/rockish song that's pretty catchy and has a nice groove, as well. Check out Drunk and I Miss You...
Way Down - MO
I've loved virtually everything Danish singer MO has put out and this one is fast and very funky. Check out Way Out...
Though I've only spotlighted two songs this week, there are others, of course, that are worthy of attention. Here are this week's honorable mentions..
Just Got Paid - Segala, Ella Eyre, Meghan Trainor, French Montana
Hello and welcome once again to New Music Fridays, even though it's Monday, lol. I bookmarked a lot of songs this week, and it was hard to cram it down to just five, but here goes...
Everybody Hates Me - The Chainsmokers
Okay, well any new Chainsmokers' tune will almost always get attention from me. They've been that high on my list as long as they've been around. This time, though, I'm not a huge fan. The boys newest track picks up on the same theme as their last two singles, Sick Boy and You Owe Me...no romantic happiness, no sweetness, just some more self-deprecating whining. The only bright spot is that this one does carry a twinge of EDM. Check it out and see...
Freaky Friday - Lil Dicky, Chris Brown
I have to admit that I never heard of Lil Dicky before. Apparently he's a 30 year old comedian/rapper and he just put out his first song in over three years with R&B bad boy Chris Brown...and I love it! The song takes its' name from the famous movie and the vid for the tune shows the two artists switching spots. Pretty good! Oh, and check out some of the cameos, too! Check out Freaky Friday...
Done For Me - Charlie Puth, Kehlani
Charlie Puth follows up his highly successful, and funky, How Long with a nice collaboration featuring the likes of Oakland-based songstress Kehlani. This one's as funky as the former, and it's full of pop smoothness, as well. Check out Done For Me...
Answerphone - Banx & Ranx, Ella Eyre, Yxng Bane
Though there are some big names in this week's new music tracks, they aren't necessarily the best of the best. Banx & Ranx's newest is nothing but a hip shakin' slice of pure dance pleasure. Check out Answerphone...
Remind Me to Forget - Kygo, Miguel
Oh, two of my favorite artists together on one track! R&B singer Miguel's voice lends itself wonderfully to Kygo's beats. Awesome!
All in all, this was a really nice week in new music, not only the ones featured here, but for these honorable mentions, as well:
Here's a fast and funky track by new British artist Ella Eyre that I discovered on...you guessed it, Spotify. This song is very big and brash and she's got one helluva voice! Check out Comeback...
