@MANYVOICESSPEAK
Ethereal and dreamy, “Want It Kept'“ by Many Voices Speak, the brainchild of Swedish singer-songwriter Matilda Mård, is the perfect song for staring at the ceiling and contemplating the state of the world/your future/what to eat for breakfast the next day.
@SHELLYTHEBAND
Add this single to the frustratingly short list of good things to come out of 2020. This track is fresh off of the debut release from Shelly, the coolest new musical collective made up of indie pop princess Clairo and friends, rising artists Claud, Josh Mehling and Noa Frances Getzug. Featuring an infectious synth riff and soft vocals, “Natural” is a sublime first effort from a band we can’t wait to hear more from.
@FLOMILLISHIT
At just 20, Alabama-based rapper Flo Milli has released a faultless debut album that feels like a spiritual companion to Megan Thee Stallion’s 2019 “Hot Girl Summer.” Among the album’s TikTok-viral tracks “Beef FloMix” and “In the Party,” “Scuse Me” is a standout track that doubles as an ode to self-love and the inherent beauty of cockiness.

@CHARLI_XCX
From Charli XCX’s newly released how i’m feeling now, “anthems” is an ultra-hyper, Y2K-reminiscent track just as good for a Chloe Ting workout as it is for a bedroom dance party.
@niluferyanyaaaaaa
From her critically acclaimed 2019 debut album, “In Your Head” is a fuzzy, lo-fi and slightly manic guitar track that’s sure to, as the title suggests, stay in your head all day. On vocals and strings, Yanya’s general badassery is on full display in this instant hit.
