Girls - Rita Ora, Bebe Rexha, Charli XCX, Cardi B

One of the most talked-about songs of the week is this one by Rita Ora, featuring Bebe Rexha, Charli XCX and Cardi B.  First of all, musically the song is catchy and pleasing, and of course the bisexual themes are going to be controversial.  Singer Hayley Kiyoko, who put out her own song about bisexual issues, spoke out against the song as being one that works to fuel the male gaze while marginalizing the idea of women loving women.  Perhaps!  Ora addressed the criticism here, and in the meantime here's Girls...

Diplo released two new songs this week, one with Sia and Labrinth, and this one with Danish singer MO (one of these days I'll learn to get that "O" right!).  Though they're both nice tunes, I tend to find this one a little more pleasing.  Stay Open has got a nice sound to it, nice bright beats and very dancey.

Wolves - Selena Gomez, with Marshmello

Our first song this week comes from Selena Gomez, in collaboration with DJ Marshmello.  The track has got a melancholic feel to it, with themes of lost love, though the chorus is musically uplifting.  Billboard reports that Gomez' fans might have been expecting this sort of tune after the star revealed that she is battling the disease lupus, which means wolf in Spanish.  Check out Wolves...
