It's impossible to be across all the new music out each Friday. Luckily, PAPER is here to help you out: each week, we round up 10 of our favorite new songs from artists — emerging and established — to soundtrack your life. From the surreal to the sublime, these songs cover every corner of the music world. The only criteria: they all have to absolutely rip.

Subscribe to our Sound Off Spotify playlist here and check out this week's tracks, below.

Ice Spice, NLE Choppa, DaBaby - "Hannah Montana"

Ice Spice re-ups her debut album Y2K with a swath of new songs including this energetic posse cut featuring NLE Choppa and the perhaps surprising return of DaBaby.

Bad Bunny - "PIToRRO DE COCO"

It’s only the first week of the year and we’re already being blessed with new Bad Bunny. This track is small-scale but ingratiating.

SAULT - "Someone to Love You"

SAULT returned on Christmas Day with a new album titled Acts of Faith. The highlight is this moonlit soul-jazz track that’s warm and unhurried.

Hit-Boy - "Letter to My Mentors"

Hit-Boy follows up his 2024 album with The Alchemist with the soul-sampling “Letter to My Mentors,” a song that’ll sound great on lazy summer days.

Kamaiyah - "Wet"

Kamaiyah heads towards drill on this low-key, electro-tinged track, an ode to stealing women from their boyfriends – a cause we can all get behind.

Chris Lorenzo, Amyl and The Sniffers - "U Should Not Be Doing That"

This is a ridiculous remix of a great song, and while I can’t imagine it superseding the real thing, it is a good bit of fun.

FKA Twigs, Anyma - "Eusexua"

Anyma turns “Eusexua” into a rollicking, moody EDM track, without sacrificing the beauty of the original.

Jane Remover - "JRJRJR"

Jane Remover is on a roll, which continues with “JRJRJR,” a potent blast of chaos to ring in 2025.

The Alchemist - "Floppy Disks"

The Alchemist pays tribute to his favorite format on “Floppy Disks,” a warm-hearted new loosie.
