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.
Club Eat — "Bubblegum"
The new track from Club Eat has a little bit of everything. It begins like a glamorous, high-camp '80s ballad before sliding into high-shine radio rock. It’s a disorientating mix of styles that’s witty and totally exhilarating.
Ice Spice with Lil Tjay — "Gangsta Boo"
New York's ascendant queen of drill released her debut EP today, and the clear highlight is this laid-back, summer-anthem-worthy, Lil Tjay collab — an easy and warm piece of pop-drill.
Yaeji — "For Granted"
Yaeji eschews her club roots for this sleek, softly lit electropop track — a bubbly rejoinder to toxic friends whose bright veneer hides a deep emotional core.

Kim Petras — "brrr"
Kim Petras veers fully into hyperpop on this chilly, metallic new club track, which nods to SOPHIE's legacy with alien synth sounds and a clattering, dancefloor-ready beat.

"I Wish you Roses" finds Kali Uchis getting to the core of what she does best: writing luxurious, immaculately produced kiss-offs that sound like love songs.
A$AP Rocky — "Same Problems?"
A$AP Rocky pivots away from his usual boast-rapping to deliver a timely and thoughtful examination of death, paying tribute to rappers gone too early with style and grace.
Kelela — "Contact"
This skeletal drum-and-bass track is wistful and sexy, capturing the pure appeal of Kelela's music while adding an infectious new twist.
