It’s often difficult to parse the good from the bad in popular music. Streaming services make it nearly impossible to sift through the thousands of songs released on any given day. That’s why, here at Charted, we round up some of the latest hottest tracks. You’ll likely recognize a few names here and there, and other times, you might stumble upon your next obsession. Don’t worry, we’ll only serve you the cream of the crop – pop and R&B earworms so good that you’ll completely upend your weekly listening habits.
Here are 6 fresh songs to add to your playlist:
“Can I Call You” – David Archuleta
If you let David Archuleta cook, he comes up with some bangers. With “Can I Call You,” the pop singer grows seductive as he dials up a would-be lover about a late-night rendezvous. “Now, I’m calling you baby, like it was your name,” he whispers. “Tell you come over / I don’t want to sound insane…” It might be a crush, love, or just a little bit of pillow talk. Smoldering and low-key, Archuleta’s latest is a juicy piece of pop music.
“More to Lose” – Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus is slaying the game. With her batch of new songs, she proves why she’s one of the best vocalists in current pop music. “More to Lose” is her latest offering, and it not only shows her shiny musical edge but also her vocal prowess. It’s like she keeps getting better with every album cycle. Sure, it’ll be hard to beat Plastic Hearts, but she sure is readying another essential era.
“Hand That Feeds” – Halsey & Amy Lee
Name a better pop/rock link-up. I’ll wait. Written for and recorded for the John Wick spin-off film, Ballerina, “Hand That Feeds” permits both singers to slip into the luminescent melody like chameleons. Halsey and Amy Lee complement one another. While Lee’s voice is sadistically angelic, Halsey’s signature timbre is biting. It’s like a time bomb ready to blast – it’s only a matter of time before this special musical moment explodes.
“You” – Colby!
Colby!‘s “You” arrives as a silky, folk-ish lullaby. Akin to Billie Eilish, Colby! approaches the melody with a tender quirkiness that seems appropriate for such a wistful song. Her voice is as light as a feather, almost ghost-like as she rattles you loose with the melody. It’s haunting, and it’s beautiful, in equal measure. Don’t (fall a)sleep on this one.
“Beg, Steal, Borrow” – The Head and The Heart
The Head and The Heart will set you free. Always possessing a knack for emotionally volatile pop tunes, the band makes their voices known with “Beg, Steal, Borrow” from their new album, Aperature. “Maybe the sun will come out tomorrow,” they chant, letting the clouds part and golden rays pierce through. Storms might feel permanent, but they never really are. Good times are ahead.
“Sinners” – Madison Rose
You won’t be ready for this one. Madison Rose leaves an indelible mark with her gospel-tinged, rollicking new anthem. “Sinners” shoots sparks from her fingertips. And Rose’s voice has never sounded so fierce. When she lets go, she really goes all in for something that moves the ground underneath your feet. “I’m a sinner!” she snarls her lips. It’s so potent, you actually believe her.
