23 New Songs Out Today

So many artists, 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.

PUSHA T – “SPICY FISH DISS” (MCDONALD’S DISS TRACK, FOR ARBY’S)

Today in news you just can’t make up, Arby’s has tapped Pusha T to advertise their fish sandwich in the form a diss track against McDonald’s’ Filet-o-Fish. (Apparently Push did have a score to settle as he’s said he wrote the “I’m lovin’ it” jingle and was never credited.) “A little cube of fish from a clown is basic,” Pusha T raps. King shit.

DELTA SPIRIT – “WHAT’S DONE IS DONE”

Delta Spirit have announced new album One is One which will be out May 20 via New West. “One is One essentially says, ‘What is life all about? Here are some observations,” says frontman Matthew Logan Vasquez. The video for first single “What’s Done is Done” is in honor of World Down Syndrome Day and stars Jamie Brewer (American Horror Story) and Zack Gottsagen (The Peanut Butter Falcon) and was directed by longtime collaborator Michael Parks Randa. “Before starting Delta Spirit, I worked in an adult transition program for people with disabilities and it was such a rewarding experience,” says Vasquez. “As a society, we really underestimate the capabilities of the disability community, especially in the creative arts. We’ve been collaborating with Randa for years, and after seeing his inclusive film Best Summer Ever, we were energized by the idea of doing our part to help further inclusion in the music industry.”
