28 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.
DOECHII – “PERSUASIVE” (REMIX ft. SZA)
Doechii is quickly becoming one of the most exciting new hip hop breakouts, and now her recent R&B-tinged single “Persuasive” has been given a rework with a new verse from her TDE labelmate SZA.

Thrash legends Megadeth’s new album The Sick, The Dying…And The Dead comes out September 2 via Universal, and new single “Night Stalkers” stays true to Megadeth’s ’80s-style thrash, until it brings it a rapped bridge from Ice-T.

156/SILENCE – “TO TAKE YOUR PLACE”

MIYA FOLICK – “NOTHING TO SEE”
After releasing a couple of new songs over the past few months and announcing a fall tour, Miya Folick has detailed a new EP, 2007, due out September 9 via Nettwerk, and shared another single, alt-pop track “Nothing to See.” “This song is about falling in love with someone emotionally unavailable,” Miya says. “Someone whose feelings and desires were so obscured to me and themselves, that I had to become a detective. I studied their life for clues and tried to fit the role of the person I thought they’d like. Eventually we broke up, and I realized that I’d lost the plot on my own life. My body and personality and life were so populated by the interests of this person, that once they were gone, there was nothing left to see. But, to me, this song isn’t bleak. I think there’s power in being brave enough to say, ‘I was made a fool by you.’”

IMPLORE – “SUN DEPRIVED”
Austria’s Implore have announced a new album, The Burden of Existence, due October 28 via Church Road. They shared the title track back in January, and today brings second single “Sun Deprived,” a dose of mind-melting mathcore that would sit nicely next to Jane Doe-era Converge.

DANIEL LANOIS – “MY ALL”
Producer and composer Daniel Lanois has released this gorgeous new single, mostly piano, but just as evocative as it’s transportive cover art. It’s from his upcoming album Player Piano. “‘My All‘ is a melody I wrote as a send off to my little brother who passed away,” says Lanois. “The piano part is based on an approach I learned from Steven Tyler from Aerosmith. Some time back Steven was at my house playing my upright piano, he showed this style of repeating a chord on the right hand, while playing a moving melody on the left hand. It was a turning point in my piano playing…Thank you Steven!”
