As you can probably now, music is more of an addiction than a passion around these parts. We stay on the hunt for new favorites, and each week there is a whole new batch to choose from. Each Friday, we create a compilation of the best in new music and our favorites from the past few weeks. Well, we then cut that list down to five new songs that we deem worthy of all of your attention.
This weekend saw a whole slew of releases, including an impressive array of new albums. Young Thug dropped off a new project, as did Snoh Aalegra, while Normani, Miley Cyrus, and even Taylor Swift dropped off new songs. This weekend included a who’s who of music stars releasing new songs, which made it even tougher to choose just five singles.
However, we did it, and these five new songs are nothing short of incredible. Below you will find five new singles from Snoh Aalegra, Highly Suspect, Red Hearse, Diplo with Morgan Wallen riding shotgun, as well as Labrinth. We’ve also provided a short look into why we can’t get enough of these tracks as well. Check them out, press play, and enjoy something different.
Hit us up on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook and let us know what your favorite(s). Keep it locked here to The Culture Curators for more exceptional new music coming soon.
“Find Someone Like You” by Snoh Aalegra
What isn’t to love about Snoh Aalegra? This remarkable single can be found on her brand new opus, ‘Ugh, those feels again.’ Snoh shows off her infectious vocals over top of this retro-sounding groove that is something special. She effortlessly does her thing on top of these driving pianos and crisp, mid-tempo drum work. Never one to disappoint, she certainly doesn’t let us down on this one. “Find Someone Like You” is one of many standouts from her new album, which you should check out immediately.
“16” by Highly Suspect
This track is one that we can all relate to. We’ve all been through something trying, and “16” encompasses those feelings and emotions in a song. The track is a tortured love song that shows off the band’s depth and range. The track’s infectious rhythm is undeniable, which is what caught our attention upon first spin. However, the vocals are deep and potent, touching on a relationship that went south once infidelity was revealed. Don’t sleep on his one! Press play above!
“Born To Bleed” by Red Hearse
At this point, it seems like everything Red Hearse is creating will be nothing but heat. The trio has been dropping smooth tunes for the past few weeks. They finally unleashed their debut project this past Friday, and “Born To Bleed” is one of many bright spots. The track has this incredibly smooth vibe that comes from a buzzing synth and these snappy drum sections. The instrumental is an earworm and the vocals laid on top are just as smooth and incredible as the backdrop. Get familiar with Red Hearse immediately!
“Heartless” by Diplo x Morgan Wallen
The Country influence throughout pop culture is reaching new heights. Ever since Lil Nas X rattled everyone’s cages with “Old Town Road,” music has been the same. Country is expanding even further, and Diplo is helping to usher it in. Following up his track “So Long” with Cam, Diplo serves up another incredibly addictive Country themed track. He supplies a trap-inspired backdrop with country-influenced melodies. Morgan Wallen takes to the track with his smooth, soulful vocals and creates some real magic. Don’t be heartless, just press play!
“Mount Everest” by Labrinth
For anyone that found themselves addicted to HBO’s hit show, ‘Euphoria,’ this one might be familiar. Labrinth and Zendaya linked up for the track “All For Us,” which plays throughout the show. However, Labrinth’s other single “Mountains” is on a different level. The track is somewhat dark, thought incredibly contagious. Driven by these ominous and catchy melodies while paired with some big, punchy, hard-hitting drums, the track is gripping. It’s addictive from its first line as Labrinth sings: “Mount Everest ain’t got shit on me.” This sets the tone for the rest of the track, which gets more addictive by the minute. Press play and experience it for yourself.
