Over a given week, there is a lot of new music that attempts
to make its way to us. And with the stresses of the week, it can be hard to
keep up with the pace. With the weekend in full swing, this is a great time to
take a look back at some of the new music that came out over the last seven
days.
There have been a lot of great new songs and music videos
released this week. We got some new pop music from the likes of Carly Rae
Jepsen, Halsey, Anne-Marie, Clean Bandit and Imagine Dragons. Indie-rockers
Pedro The Lion made their return after nearly 15 years with a new single. We
got some new rock and pop-punk videos from Stand Atlantic, As It Is, Blue
October, Real Friends, Sunflower Bean, Korn’s
Jonathan Davis and more.
Vinyl Bay 777, Long Island’s music outlet, loves new music.
That’s why we’ve searched the internet for some of the best new songs and music
videos to be released over the last week. Here are six of our favorites that we
know you’re going to love.
1.
Pedro The Lion, “Yellow Bike”: Pedro The Lion
made their return this week, releasing the single “Yellow Bike,” the first from
their upcoming first album in 15 years, ‘Phoenix.’ Sung in frontman and sole
consistent member David Bazan’s lightly raspy voice, “Yellow Bike” tells of the
newfound freedom he felt after receiving his first bike and relating it to his
life on the road. The storytelling in the song is so vivid and relatable, while
the melody is soft and hazy. (Video)
2.
Benny Blanco & Calvin
Harris, “I Found You”: Bound by a strong kick drum beat, “I Found You” has
a soulful, upbeat vibe that exudes positivity. The video is also very positive
and charming, featuring Blanco dancing in front of a white backdrop with a
rotating cast of friends and family joining him on set to dance with him. (Video)
3.
Anne-Marie, “Perfect To Me”: Anne-Marie’s “Perfect
To Me” is a bold expression of one’s personal perfection. The song speaks
frankly about being able to love yourself, saying that you don’t have to
conform to cultural and societal norms to be perfect. It does this with a minimalist
melody and beat, highlighting the importance of the point the lyrics are trying
to convey. (Video)
4.
Carly Rae Jepsen, “Party For One”: Carley Rae
Jepsen’s latest single “Party For One” is about not needing anyone but yourself
to have a good time. The song’s pop-y confidence is infectious, much like the
fun vibe she brings to all of her music. (Video)
5.
Pistol Annies, “Got My Name Changed Back”: I don’t
usually go for straight-up country tracks. However, “Got My Name Changed Back”
grabs you with its uniqueness. Celebrating divorce, the women’s empowerment anthem
is full of country twang and lyrics about taking your life back. Aided by a
video that features the country supertrio of Miranda Lambert, Ashley Monroe and
Angaleena Presley dancing in a courtroom, the song is a comical take on a
subject that is all too real for a lot of people. (Video)
6.
Stand Atlantic, “Skinny Dipping”: The more I
listen to “Skinny Dipping,” the more I like it. It has that bouncy energy of
early-mid-2000s pop-punk infused with honest lyrics about feeling vulnerable.
The song’s chorus is also very much an earworm that will repeat over and over
again in your head. (Video)
With the weekend here, now is the perfect chance to catch up
