32 New Songs Out Today

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 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.

Today was also a Bandcamp Friday and you can find even more new music in our roundup of Bandcamp exclusives.

FREDDIE GIBBS – "GANG SIGNS" (ft. SCHOOLBOY Q)

Freddie Gibbs has released his second single for Warner, following last year's "4 Thangs" (ft. Big Sean, prod. Hit-Boy).

It was long overdue for me and Q to do a record."

JID – "BRUUUH" (REMIX ft. DENZEL CURRY)

JID has released a new remix of his standalone 2017 track "Bruuuh," which now features a new verse by Denzel Curry.

Conway the Machine) and "Cludder" to streaming services.

OMB PEEZY – "DOPE BOY" (ft. RYLO RODRIGUEZ)

Mobile, Alabama rapper OMB Peezy returns with some infectious melodic rap.

PRIYA RAGU – "CHICKEN LEMON RICE"

Tamil-Swiss artist Priya Ragu fuses hip hop, art pop, and more on new single "Chicken Lemon Rice," and the video honors her Sri Lankin heritage. "'Chicken Lemon Rice' is a celebration of unity and diversity," Priya says. "It’s here to commemorate all the beautiful cultures of the world. The world is not black and white, it’s colorful. We can come together and still be ourselves whilst celebrating different heritages and learning from each other."

NEIL YOUNG – "DAUGHTERS"

It's hard to believe Neil Young let Homegrown sit unreleased for over 40 years, and it's even harder to believe something this great didn't make the cut.

You may know LA singer-songwriter Zella Day from last year's Dan Auerbach-produced Where Does the Devil Hide EP, or from working with working with Lana Del Rey and Weyes Blood on a cover of Joni Mitchell's "For Free."
