17 New Songs Out Today

So many artists, so many songs, so little time. Each week we review a handful of new albums (of all genres), round up even more new music that we’d call “indie,” and talk about what metal is coming out. We post music news, track premieres, and more all day. We update a playlist weekly of some of our current favorite tracks. Here’s a daily roundup with a bunch of interesting, newly released songs in one place.

CARDI B – “OUTSIDE”

Are we ever actually getting a new Cardi B album? Does it even matter? She’s dropped an album’s worth of singles in the seven-plus (!) years since Invasion of Privacy, and now she’s back with another hard-hitting track ahead of her appearance at NYC’s Pride Month festival LadyLand.

PINKPANTHERESS – “CLOSE TO YOU”

Following the announcement of her fall tour, PinkPantheress gave her unreleased track “Close to You” an official release. As Stereogum points out, she told the crowd at an NYC Fancy That release event, “I did ‘Close To You’ in 2021 when I was like, 19, and genuinely, when I made that song I thought it was such a chop, I cannot tell you. No, is it a chop? Is it actually a chop? It’s not a chop. It’s not a chop, but then I thought to myself, ‘The fans aren’t gonna like this one’ because I thought it was just so simple and I thought, ‘No, this isn’t complex enough for people to really —’ oh my God, but the fact that people have told me ‘cause you know the first person to tell me how much it — so obviously, I’ve been hearing your calls. I’ve had it, yes, okay, you’ll get the song, you’re getting the song. I mean, this is actually meant to be for just us in this room, but yes, you’re getting the song. And I’ll put it up, and you know what else for me ’cause this is the one thing I get the most from my diehard fans from day one, is they’re like, ‘When you release it, you’ll change the mix and you’ll add shit’ and I’m like, ‘I get it.’ The thing is, I’m a perfectionist, right? So ‘Close To You,’ this is a demo, so I wanna wake it up and I wanna add this, this, this, but I’m gonna release it as it’s intended on the YouTube for whoever found it and posted it, and that’s my promise to you.”

CMAT – “THE JAMIE OLIVER PETROL STATION”

CMAT’s new album EURO-COUNTRY is out in August, and she’s shared the third single, “The Jamie Oliver Petrol Station.” “”The whole point of the song is actually my annoyance and intolerance and hatred of other people serves absolutely no purpose in my life and is a really bad instinct that I have,” she says. “So it’s actually a love song for Jamie Oliver, if you think about it. It’s me being like ‘don’t be a bitch and stop judging people for annoyances'”

OMNI – “FOREVER BEGINNER”

US3 – “RESIST THE RAT RACE”

“When I left school I got a job in Leeds city centre, working for a large insurance company,” says Geoff Wilkinson of Us3’s new single. “It was soul destroying. Commuting on the train every day, working in a large office with three rows of fifteen desks. A little old woman would push a tea trolley around twice a day. Some people had worked there for over 20 years. I was 17. It felt like a dystopian nightmare of a movie. Needless to say, I escaped. It wasn’t easy, but I resisted the rat race.” It’s the second single from the British hip hop vets’ first album in decades.

JADE BIRD – “NOBODY”

Jade Bird’s new album Who Wants to Talk About Love arrives next month, and she’s given us another early taste with “Nobody.” “Knowing your relationship is in tatters but being unable to admit defeat (‘don’t want to have to call my mother tell her we can’t see past all our problems’) because you feel that there’s no one who is better than that person despite it being so bad,” she says.

JOSEPH & BECCA MANCARI – “I BELIEVE IN MYSELF”

JOSEPH teamed up with Becca Mancari for a new single, “I Believe in Myself.” “We grew up in a fundamentalist religious environment where we were told that you can’t trust yourself; you can only trust God and your pastors,” JOSEPH’s Natalie Closner says. “When you’re raised that way, you get to adulthood and realize you’re completely cut off from your intuition. ‘I Believe In Myself’ is about constructing your own inner voice, and learning how to listen to it for the first time in your life.”

STOREY LITTLETON – “AT A DINER”

Storey Littleton, daughter of Elizabeth and Daniel of Ida who more recently has been playing in Ida’s touring band, signed to Don Giovanni as a solo artist and released the new single “At A Diner.” It’s a lovely, folky song that a press release says was influenced by Judee Sill, Gram Parsons and Rickie Lee Jones.
