Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” is already taking over the radio stations, shopping malls, and your local coffee house. Whether you like it or not, you will get infected by the Christmas spirit. Unless, of course, you put on some headphones and start blasting our best new songs of the week.

This week’s picks are highlighted by SZA, who released her new album SOS earlier this past week. Since we can’t actually pick all the songs from this impressive release, we decided on the slow-burning “Nobody Gets Me.”

Also on our list is Lana Del Rey with her new, quirky-titled, track “Did You Know There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd,” Gorillaz with “Skinny Ape,” and Paramore with “The News.” And this is only the beginning, so let’s dive right in.
