As we reach the final days of 2023, music releases are slowing down, but several amazing new songs still hit the shelves this week. If you’re in the mood to end 2023 on a high note, get ready to add new music by Tom Odell, Jimin, and Royal Blood to your playlist.

This week has been pretty slow for new album releases, but that didn’t stop Royal Blood from sharing the bonus edition of their latest studio album Back to the Water Below. They marked the occasion by releasing the bonus track “Supermodel Avalanches” on streaming services.

As A-list stars took a break from releasing new songs ahead of Christmas, our favorite indie artists seized the moment to shine in the spotlight. Tom Odell made it to our list with the new single “The End”, along with Charlotte Plank’s “Redline” and Hollow Coves’ “On the Way”.

It was also a pretty great week for international artists from all around the globe, from South Korea to Puerto Ricco. Anuel AA made the cut with the new song “Luces Tenues”, Jimin of BTS continued his flourishing solo career with “Closer Than This”, while the Nigerian rapper Wizkid gave us another amazing collaboration with “Ololufe” ft. Wande Coal.
