9 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.
DAVE GROHL & GREG KURSTIN – “SPINNING WHEEL” (BLOOD SWEAT & TEARS COVER) FT JUDD APATOW / “GET THE PARTY STARTED” FT P!NK
Dave Grohl and Greg Kurstin are doing their “Hanukkah Sessions” again this year where they cover a bunch of songs with special guest vocalists and performers. This year, the songs were filmed at an in-person show in Los Angeles and will be posted nightly during the holidays. The first two: Blood Sweat & Tears’ “Spinning Wheel” as sung by filmmaker Judd Apatow who definitely gives it his all; and P!nk joins for her own Bar Mitzvah staple “Get the Party Started.”

EVAN GREER – AUTOMATED CHRISTMAS JOY
Evan Greer has released an EP of Christmas songs with lyrics written by Chat GPT and then set to music and recorded by Greer, using prompts like “Write a Christmas Song in the style of Blink 182,” “Write a song called ‘Christmas at the Gay Bar,” and “Write a Christmas song where Santa fights the fascists,” to generate the lyrics. “I kind of hate everything about this,” Evan said. “I honestly don’t know why I made this. Partly to distract myself and cope with holiday depression, partly as a commentary on the way that artificial intelligence is invading the art and music world, and partly because I kind of love Christmas music, but also most Christmas music sort of sounds like it was written by an AI, since it’s so formulaic and commercialized.” Proceeds from the album will benefit Fight for the Future’s campaign work fighting for regulation of harmful AI.
