15 New Songs Out Today

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.

MIKE, WIKI & THE ALCHEMIST – ONE MORE EP

Wiki and MIKE are both staples of NYC’s underground rap landscape, and their styles are pretty different but they proved to have a lot of chemistry when they teamed up for a track on Wiki’s Navy Blue-produced album Half God last year. Now they’ve got a collaborative EP out, entirely produced by The Alchemist (released in conjunction with a new campaign from Patta and Tommy Hilfiger), and it finds all three artists at the tops of their games and sounding great together.

KELE (BLOC PARTY) – “VANDAL THE FLAMES”

Kele Okereke of Bloc Party has announced new solo album The Flames Pt 2 which will be out March 24 via KOLA Records / !K7. The album art has Kele burning a copy of The Smiths’ The Queen is Dead and this single follows suit, titled “Vandal the Flames.” Kele says, “There haven’t been many things that have made me feel proud to be British recently but watching those people in Bristol pulling down the Colston statue made me feel immensely proud. It was ordinary people saying ‘no, this slaver does not represent my Britain.’ It was an act of defiance that I understood and I suddenly got a glimpse of a Britain I could believe in.”

KAM FRANKLIN (THE SUFFERS) – “A BITCH DIDN’T LISTEN”

“For those of us that partake in the healing benefits of cannabis, being mindful of your usage is extremely important, especially when it comes to edibles,” says The Suffers’ Kam Franklin about this new song. “‘A Bitch Didn’t Listen’ is a song about knowing your dose, and the chaos that can ensue when you choose to go the opposite route. In my case, I thought I could handle more edibles than what was recommended by my good friend and THC expert, Margo Price. I was wrong, but at least I got a good laugh and a fun song out of it.”
