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:
“Momma Song” – Benson Boone
The listener will undoubtedly stop in their tracks. Benson Boone‘s “Momma Song” is a soaring torch ballad. His voice reaches for the stars, bursting in mid-air like a fireworks display. A dedication to his mother, it’s easily one fo the year’s finest pieces of pop music.
“Leave Me Alone” – Renneé Rapp
Reneé Rapp gets seductive with her new song. “Leave Me Alone” is as provocative as she’s ever been, with a dirty side-wind and drip-drop of the lyrics. “Leave me alone, bitch, I wanna have fun,” she sing-speaks over gritty bass. If you needed to turn up the heat, this’ll do the trick.
“Honey Blonde” – Joe Jonas
Joe Jonas‘ “Honey Blonde” goes down like sweet caramel. Off his Music for People Who Believe in Love album, it’s a tasty treat with a real guitar moment. We don’t get them much these days in pop music, but Jonas makes sure we do. “Honey Blonde” puts one foot in the classic and one in contemporary for a good time.
“Try Your Luck” – Julia Michaels
If you know your modern pop music, you’ll know what you get with a Julia Michaels song. It’s frequently lyrically quirky with a melody that worms into your brain. “Try Your Luck” goes hard with the sultry groove, and while the lyrics are less quirky than usual, it still has that melody you can’t get enough of. Give it a spin; you may like it!
“Cruel” – Spencer Sutherland
Hands down: Spencer Sutherland has one of the best male forces in today’s pop crew. With the deluxe edition of his The Drama album, he goes hard in the pavement with a new cut called “Cruel.” Blustery guitars crack like thunder, and his voice is as high-flying and intoxicating as ever. He always hits home runs.
“Heart Beats Better” – lovelytheband
One of the most underrated pop groups remains lovelytheband. They’ve been boppin’ around for a minute now and continue building on their catalog with “Heart Beats Better.” Vocals unfurl in the hot summer sun, and the melody cools you down. It’s a low-key bop and perfect for the next three months.
