Another week has come and gone and with it came a whole
bunch of new songs and music videos. However, with the stresses the work week
might through at you, it can be hard to stay up-to-date on the latest music. Now
that the weekend is here, let’s take a look back at some of the best new music
released over the last seven days.
This was a big week for new music. Hot artists like Taylor
Swift, Dua Lipa, The Killers and Fall Out Boy all released new videos this week.
Jack White debuted two brand new songs along with the announcement of his new
album. Matt & Kim and Black Veil Brides both made their comebacks as well.
Franz Ferdinand released another new song from their upcoming album.
Vinyl Bay 777, Long Island’s music outlet, has once again
been scouring the internet for the best new songs and music videos of the week.
Here are eight that we definitely think are worth a listen.
1.
Jack White, “Connected by Love”: This week,
former White
Stripes frontman Jack White announced that he will be releasing a new album
this year. With that announcement came two brand new songs, “Connected by Love”
and “Respect Commander.” And while “Respect Commander” is a great song, “Connected
by Love” really shines. The song’s mix of bluesy passion and electronic
undertones gives it this swirling, frenzied feeling that surrounds you and
keeps you interested until the end. (video)
2.
The
Killers, “Rut”: “Rut” is an emotional journey of a song about feeling
helpless and getting past it. Though it is mostly somber, the song picks up an
inspirational, uplifting tone, building as it progresses. It’s another very
passionate song with a message that a lot of people really need to hear. (video)
3.
Dua Lipa, “IDGAF”: “IDGAF” has this giant melody
and presence that make it feel like a big pop production. The song’s snare hits
act like punctuation for the lyrical harshness. It’s kind of mesmerizing. The
video, with its big dance number, only expands on this feeling. (video)
4.
Fall Out Boy, “Wilson”: Fall Out Boy tone down
their new electronic edge for their latest single “Wilson.” The song feels like
an updated version of their old sound, using self-depreciating lyrics, but
without the swinging power pop-punk guitars. Moreover, the video for the song
is hilarious and needs to be seen. (video)
5.
Black Veil Brides, “Wake Up”: The first single
from their new album, “Wake Up” comes out swinging. Bass drum hits and
hard-hitting guitars keep the song moving and swirling, supporting its
larger-than-life melody and overtly political lyrics. (video)
6.
Franz
Ferdinand, “Feel The Love Go”: “Feel The Love Go” finds Franz Ferdinand
delving even deeper into electronic mixing. Aside from the band’s normal amount
of new wave distortion, synths feel even more prevalent in this track. Then
there is this saxophone melody that starts flowing through it about a minute
from the end that ends up weaving in with the synths until you can’t tell what’s
electronic and what’s real. (video)
7.
Hudson Taylor, “Run With Me”: “Run With Me’s”
country-folk-rock vibe is upbeat and jovial, a fun song for a sunny day. The
song’s premise of sticking by your friends though good and bad times comes
across clearly. (video)
8.
Blitzen Trapper, “Dance With Me”: With elements
of Bob
Dylan folk rock and Tom
Petty Americana, “Dance With Me” takes its influences from the past and brings
them into today’s musical landscape seamlessly. The result is a song that
sounds just as familiar as the classics it pays tribute to. (video)

music videos. Check out our favorites above and let us know what songs you’ve
