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.

LATTO – “PUT IT ON DA FLOOR AGAIN” (ft. CARDI B)

Latto’s latest single is an ominous Atlanta trap anthem with a verse from Cardi B, and it should come as no surprise that these two go great together.

ERNEST RAREBERRG – “BLIMP”

Brooklyn-based artist Ernest Rareberrg has shared his first new music of the year, alt-pop track “Blimp.” “The narrative around ‘Blimp’ has to do with the constant battle with the self; and whether that amounts to love or hate of the self, the person going through that won’t come out of it the same,” he says. “This leads to bouts of self-consciousness, insecurity, brief blips of happiness, etc.”

ILSEY & BON IVER – “HEART OF GOLD” (NEIL YOUNG COVER)

“This song has always spoken to me in a deep, personal way,” Ilsey says of her collaborative cover of Neil Young’s “Heart of Gold,” made with Bon Iver and producer BJ Burton. “There’s something about the plaintive melody and the simple, evocative lyrics that go straight to the heart of what we all feel. The image of a miner searching for a precious metal—searching for love, connection, something true… it’s a difficult, often frustrating process, but the reward is so worth it. I kept coming back to the thought and the song. I listened on repeat one day before meeting up with Justin and BJ and it just felt right to see if we could play it in a new way, that felt like us, and would do it justice.”

WEIRD NIGHTMARE – “SHE’S THE ONE” (RAMONES COVER)

Weird Nightmare, aka METZ’s Alex Edkins, has covered Ramones’ Road to Ruin classic “She’s the One,” which he says is one of his favorite songs ever. He did a great job too: pedal steel and hammond organ pull this one out of Forest Hills and into Topenga Canyon.
