Our favorite songs of the week (playlist): Bowie, Jazmine Sullivan, Weather Station & more
Between our daily coverage, our Notable Releases and Indie Basement columns, and our monthly punk and rap roundups, we post tons of new music all the time here on BrooklynVegan. In an effort to keep track of all the new music we’re excited about, we’ve been posting a new playlist each week with many of the songs we love that were (mostly) released that week.
Today would've been David Bowie's 74th birthday, so this playlist has a couple Bowie covers (and some previously unreleased covers that Bowie himself recorded), plus new songs by Jazmine Sullivan, The Weather Station, Calyx, The Sonder Bombs, slowthai, Virgil Abloh/serpentwithfeet, Vagabon/Courtney Barnett, The Hold Steady, Tigers Jaw, Portrayal of Guilt, and more.
