Our list of best new songs of the week always covers many different genres, but alternative artists are dominating it this time around. From The National to PJ Harvey, some of our favorite indie rock acts surprised us with amazing new music this week.

Most of the songs on our list hail from newly released albums, covering many different genres. The National’s First Two Pages of Frankenstein is our favorite new release, and each song on this LP deserves a mention, but none of them created more buzz than “The Alcott” featuring Taylor Swift.

Jack Harlow’s Jackman came out of nowhere—quite literarily—since the rapper announced its release just a few days before dropping ten new songs, including “Common Ground”. Labrinth and Diplo also released new albums this week and gave us a few amazing collaborations along the way.

Bebe Rexha’s latest album Bebe is also a collaboration-heavy record featuring several music legends, starting with the country icon Dolly Parton, featured on her new single “Seasons”.

Our list this week also includes new songs from Kesha, PJ Harvey, Niall Horan, and Jessie Ware, so check it out and choose your favorite.

Kesha – “Eat the Acid”

Labrinth – “The Feels”

The National – “The Alcott (feat. Taylor Swift)”

PJ Harvey – “A Child’s Question, August”

Bebe Rexha & Dolly Parton – “Seasons”

Whether you love epic hip-hop remixes or low-key alternative music, you certainly enjoyed discovering some new tunes this week. New versions of “Kill Bill” and “Princess Diana” got everyone talking, but Kelly Clarkson, Post Malone, and Metallica also gave us some amazing new music.

This has been an amazing week for female-centric hip-hop remixes, the likes of which we haven’t seen since “Savage” and “Say So” remixes hit the shelves around the same time in 2020. This time around, the remix wars are fought between “Kill Bill” by SZA ft. Doja Cat and “Princess Diana” by Ice Spice ft. Nicki Minaj – and we’re all winners here.

As for the new album releases this week, Metallica’s 72 Seasons will certainly make the biggest mark, and we made sure to include its latest single “Sleepwalk My Life Away”. Angel Olsen also impressed us with her latest EP Forever Means and its title song.

It’s also been a great week for pop music, with Kelly Clarkson making a comeback with double single “Mine/Me” and Céline Dion impressing us with a new song from Love Again soundtrack. Even Post Malone made a shift to pop with his new song “Chemical”, and used it to tease his fifth studio album.

The National – “Your Mind Is Not Your Friend”

SZA ft. Doja Cat – “Kill Bill (Remix)”

Ice Spice ft. Nicki Minaj – “Princess Diana (Remix)”

Kelly Clarkson – “Mine/Me”

Post Malone – “Chemical”

Angel Olsen – “Forever Means”

Metallica – “Sleepwalk My Life Away”

Céline Dion – “Love Again”

Jorja Smith – “Try Me”

Diplo & Dove Cameron – “Use Me (Brutal Hearts)”

EDM is the first genre that most people think of when someone mentions Diplo, but he’s been exploring the world of country in recent years. His next album Diplo Presents Thomas Wesley: Chapter 2 – Swamp Savant is on the way and he described it as a country record.

This isn’t the first time Diplo dipped his toes into country music, and the title of his latest album suggests it’s a sequel. He released his first album under his moniker Thomas Wesley back in 2020, and it featured collaborations with Orville Peck, Noah Cyrus, Thomas Rhett, Morgan Wallen, Young Thug, Jonas Brothers, and many more.

The second time around, Diplo went back to his father’s house in Florida to prepare for this project and spent six months learning guitar and getting in touch with nature, before heading to Nashville, Kentucky, and Texas to continue his research.

“I looked back at my career and the things I learned as a songwriter… [I] basically reflected on my whole life and career and connection with this music.. there was a lot.. it all started in the swamps I was raised in,” he wrote on social media.

Diplo Presents Thomas Wesley: Chapter 2 – Swamp Savant will hit the shelves on April 28, and “Wasted” featuring Kodak Black and Koe Wetzel will serve as its first single.

Spice Girls are currently busy with their reunion tour, but that’s not stopping them from serving as a major inspiration to other artists. Charli XCX, Diplo and Herve Pagez recently dropped an offbeat music video for a new cover/reinterpretation of ’90s megahit “Wannabe”.

The colorful visual for this catchy tune titled “Spicy” is the silliest thing you’ll see all day, and it features everything from crazy outfits to flying dolphins. It’s one of those things you have to see to believe – and it’s definitely worth the watch.

Charli XCX described this remix as an “absolutely genius and thought-provoking” take on the 1996 Spice Girls classic. The trio behind this wholesome rendition made sure to credit Spice Girls as songwriters for the track, despite the fact it’s only a reinterpretation of their chart-topping single.

This isn’t the first time Charli XCX expressed her love for the legendary girl band. She previously paid tribute to Spice Girls in the music video for her and Troye Sivan’s collaboration “1999”.

“I don’t even remember the first time I saw Spice World. I literally watched that movie over and over and over again for three years solid!” said the 26-year-old singer while chatting with Rolling Stone.

After conquering the world of electronic and dance music, Diplo now decided to dip his toes (pun intended) into country music.

The American DJ and producer just announced that he is launching a new project titled Thomas Wesley under which he will make country music. The reason why his new moniker might sound familiar is that Diplo’s real name is Thomas Wesley Pentz Jr.

As part of the announcement, Diplo presented Thomas Wesley’s first single “So Long,” which features American country singer and songwriter Cam. We should expect more songs to follow soon as the press release promises “several forthcoming collaborations with country artists.”

You can hear “So Long” below.

Diplo has been quite active in 2019 having released his new extended play Europa back in February. The EP saw him collaborating with a number of European musicians including rappers Octavian (France) and Bausa (Germany).

Besides Europa, he also presented an album with his supergroup LSD this year. The record, titled Labrinth, Sia & Diplo Present… LSD was released in April and received mixed to positive reviews from the critics. It wasn’t a success on the charts, however, as it peaked at No. 70 on the US Billboard charts and only managed to crack top 10 in Norway.

Labrinth, Sia, and Diplo just dropped their first joined album under the name LSD, and what a better way to celebrate its release than with a new music video for their latest single “No New Friends”.

Sia’s muse Maddie Ziegler, who previously appeared in their video for “Thunderclouds”, made a comeback in band’s new video. This video is equally whimsical as their previous collaboration and shows the young dancer wandering through a candy-colored wonderland.

LSD’s first joined record came out on April 12, and it features a total of 10 songs – including Lil Wayne’s remix of their hit single “Genius”. Labrinth previously discussed their collaboration in an interview with Rolling Stone and said they all immensely enjoy it since it allows them to go as crazy as they want to.

“When we got the chance to do LSD, we jumped at it, and it’s one of the most creative projects I’ve been involved in. We dress up in crazy outfits [and]  mess around with Sgt. Pepper’s-esque visuals,” explained Labrinth.

Super Mega Ultra Giant Mad Decent Block Party Festival is coming our way this summer, and let’s just say it’s living up to its name.

American DJ Diplo, who launched this event, will serve as one of the headliners with his electronic dance trio Major Lazer, but that’s not the only reason to be excited about this event.

The list of headliners also includes rising star Billie Eilish, rapper G-Eazy and R&B sensation Miguel. The rest of the line-up is pretty colorful, but mostly puts focus on electronic dance music and hip-hop.

Ellie Goulding just dropped her first music video in over a year and made two things pretty clear – she’s still on the top of her game and we need to visit Budapest ASAP. The video for “Close To Me” is basically an ode to the Hungarian capital, and watching the singer dance around this scenic city made it seem even more magical.

Goulding’s new video will be remembered by beautiful shots of Budapest and a wide array of high-fashion outfits she rocked during these three-odd minutes. The clip features several snippets of young singer twirling around Fisherman’s Bastion in a white dress, before being joined by a group of Magritte-inspired dancers.

Diplo, who previously worked with Ellie Goulding on the 2015 single “Powerful”, served aa s producer this time around. The video also features Swae Lee, member of hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd.

It’s still unclear if “Close to Me” is only a one-off single or the first song from Goulding’s fourth album. Her last studio recording Delirium came out in 2015, but singer’s representative recently stated new music is on the horizon.

Besides Europa, he also presented an album with his supergroup LSD this year. The record, titled Labrinth, Sia & Diplo Present… LSD was released in April and received mixed to positive reviews from the critics. It wasn’t a success on the charts, however, as it peaked at No. 70 on the US Billboard charts and only managed to crack top 10 in Norway.

Labrinth, Sia, and Diplo just dropped their first joined album under the name LSD, and what a better way to celebrate its release than with a new music video for their latest single “No New Friends”.

Sia’s muse Maddie Ziegler, who previously appeared in their video for “Thunderclouds”, made a comeback in band’s new video. This video is equally whimsical as their previous collaboration and shows the young dancer wandering through a candy-colored wonderland.

LSD’s first joined record came out on April 12, and it features a total of 10 songs – including Lil Wayne’s remix of their hit single “Genius”. Labrinth previously discussed their collaboration in an interview with Rolling Stone and said they all immensely enjoy it since it allows them to go as crazy as they want to.

“When we got the chance to do LSD, we jumped at it, and it’s one of the most creative projects I’ve been involved in. We dress up in crazy outfits [and]  mess around with Sgt. Pepper’s-esque visuals,” explained Labrinth.

Super Mega Ultra Giant Mad Decent Block Party Festival is coming our way this summer, and let’s just say it’s living up to its name.

American DJ Diplo, who launched this event, will serve as one of the headliners with his electronic dance trio Major Lazer, but that’s not the only reason to be excited about this event.

The list of headliners also includes rising star Billie Eilish, rapper G-Eazy and R&B sensation Miguel. The rest of the line-up is pretty colorful, but mostly puts focus on electronic dance music and hip-hop.

Music isn’t the only reason to buy a ticket for Super Mega Ultra Giant Mad Decent Block Party Festival. This event also comes with a long list of fun side attractions, including the world’s largest bounce house, go-karts, and paintball.

Super Mega Ultra Giant Mad Decent Block Party Festival will take place on July 20 and 21 at the Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts.

Ellie Goulding just dropped her first music video in over a year and made two things pretty clear – she’s still on the top of her game and we need to visit Budapest ASAP. The video for “Close To Me” is basically an ode to the Hungarian capital, and watching the singer dance around this scenic city made it seem even more magical.

Goulding’s new video will be remembered by beautiful shots of Budapest and a wide array of high-fashion outfits she rocked during these three-odd minutes. The clip features several snippets of young singer twirling around Fisherman’s Bastion in a white dress, before being joined by a group of Magritte-inspired dancers.

Diplo, who previously worked with Ellie Goulding on the 2015 single “Powerful”, served aa s producer this time around. The video also features Swae Lee, member of hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd.

It’s still unclear if “Close to Me” is only a one-off single or the first song from Goulding’s fourth album. Her last studio recording Delirium came out in 2015, but singer’s representative recently stated new music is on the horizon.
