Kylie Minogue, Bebe Rexha, Tove Lo - "My Oh My"

Charming and unapologetically silly, “My Oh My” is a perfect late-summer confection, down to Kylie, Bebe and Tove name-checking themselves on each verse.

Metronomy, Nourished by Time - "My Love"

Off-kilter synth-pop that’s atmospheric and catchy, “My Love”’s low-key tone belies a profound hookiness.

Moses Sumney - "Gold Coast"

Moses Sumney’s latest self-released single is diaphanous and funky, even as it remains staunchly committed to minimalism.

Molly Nilsson - "Naming Names"

Big fan of this dewy-eyed power ballad from Berlin-based underground star Molly Nilsson’s new album Un-American Activities, a rich exploration of communism and freedom.

Ice Spice, Central Cee - "Did It First"

Defiant, icily-toned Jersey club from two of the biggest young rappers of the moment, the culture clash between British and American rap creates an appealing friction.

Clairo - "Add Up My Love"

A jubilant highlight from Clairo’s brilliant third record Charm, “Add Up My Love” is filled with small, sweet details that make it feel like a self-contained universe.

Remi Wolf - "Soup"

Dewy, '80s-indebted electro-pop from Remi Wolf, whose ability to glide effortlessly between genres is remarkable.

Miss Madeline - "OMG"

Miss Madeline takes on liars and cheaters on this goofy, fun electro-clash track.

Madison Rose "FALLING OUTTA HEAVEN"

Madison Rose takes it back to the era of maximalist 2010s EDM with “FALLING OUTTA HEAVEN,” appropriately capturing the genre’s woah-oh-oh euphoria.

Jonah Almost - "Clean Cut"

The latest track from rising New York producer Jonah Almost is a furiously-paced techno rager that speeds by in an instant.
