Every Friday, Spotify launches an updated compilation of new music releases. This week’s update features new songs by renowned artists such as Ariana Grande (“Thank u, Next”), Halsey (“Hopeless Fountain Kingdom”), Drake (“Scorpion”), and French Montana (“Jungle Rules”). This week’s edition highlights 98 new tracks. Here are some of the songs listeners will not want to miss out on.
Halsey is back with her new single “Graveyard.” The background to the song’s lyrics is Halsey stuck in the midst of a toxic relationship with someone she loves.
Another new release discussing relational sentiments is “The End Of The Game,” which discusses a romance the narrator finds himself in, where his girlfriend is on the verge of ending the relationship. Thus, the narrator is afraid of losing this partner.
Another singer who is back with a new release is American singer-songwriter Charlie Puth. His new single, “Mother,” displays a new sound, which Puth had already showcased earlier this summer via Twitter. The singer had released a new single titled “I Warned Myself” on Aug 21. Both singles will be included on his third studio album, although no release date has been announced as of yet.
“OneRepublic” is also back on the road with their new single “Somebody to Love.” Despite its melancholic title, the song is sure to help you through those endless study nights before a quiz or a paper is due.
The Lumineers have a new single, too. “Salt And The Sea” is part of the band’s third studio album, “III” The album is a cinematic narrative told in three chapters: “Gloria Sparks” , Junior Sparks and Jimmy Sparks (III). Each of the stories told in this album deal with individuals that are close to lead vocalist Wesley Schultz.
However, if you are more into punk rock, both Fall Out Boy and Green Day are back with new releases.
Green Day’s new single “Father Of All” matches the new album’s title, although fans will need to hold on a little longer for this one, as the new album will not see daylight until early February of next year, ending their discographic hiatus that has stretched since 2016.
Party of four, Fall Out Boy has also enlightened fans with a new single release this week. Their new song, “Dear Future Self (Hands Up)” featuring Haitian singer-songwriter Wyclef Jean is a mix of punk rock with a touch of Caribbean sound that will for sure get you off your feet.
Lastly, if none of the above match your musical likes and what you want to listen to is rap or hip hop, you have plenty of choices this week, as artists such as Drake, Major Lazer, Lil Nas X, and French Montana have dropped new singles this week as well.
Canadian singer-songwriter Drake is back with “Behind Barz,” a bonus song pertaining to the compilation “Top Toy,” named after the British TV show which is making a comeback in a critical time for the United Kingdom. The show gives a voice to young lives in a situation of deprivation, oppression and violence on London’s housing estates.
