So many artists, 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. In these concertless times, that includes daily livestreams and live concert videos we love. We publish a monthly playlist of some of our favorite tracks. Here's a daily roundup with a bunch of interesting, newly released songs in one place.

MILEY CYRUS – "PRISONER" (ft. DUA LIPA)

Miley Cyrus' new album Plastic Hearts comes out November 27, and it features collaborations with Joan Jett, Billy Idol, and Dua Lipa, the latter of whom is on the just-released "Prisoner." As you may expect, given Dua's new album and Miley's recent influences, it's a fun dose of '80s-inspired pop.

It should come as no surprise that Lana is perfect for this.
