Another week has come and gone and with it came a wealth of
new music. Whether you’ve been working or preparing for the Thanksgiving
holiday during the past week, it’s hard to keep up with everything that came
out. Now that the weekend is here and the excitement has died down, it’s time
to take a look back at all the new songs and music videos that came out over
the past seven days.
Despite the holiday, there were still a lot of new songs and
music videos released over the past week. We got a new single and album details
from Weezer. The 1975 released remarkable new video from their latest album. Steve
Aoki’s released his anticipated collaboration with BTS. We also got some new
hard rock videos from Thrice and P.O.D., as well as new alternative songs from Taking
Back Sunday and Billie Eilish.
Vinyl Bay 777, Long Island’s music outlet, loves new music.
That’s why we’ve been scouring the internet all week for the latest new songs
and music videos. Here are six of our favorites we think are worth checking
out.
1.
Steve Aoki feat. BTS, “Waste It On Me”: Producer
Steve Aoki has finally released a video for his collaboration with K-Pop group
BTS and it is excellent. The song is both pop-y and catchy, blending together
the best of EDM beats and K-Pop sweetness. I could definitely hear this being
played on the radio. For the video, Aoki got Ken Jeong to work his comedic magic
as a cook at a club trying to get back his young love interest. (video)
2.
Michael Bublé, “Such A Night”: Blending jazz and
pop, Michael Bublé’s latest ‘Love’ single “Such A Night” is a bright, feel-good
song. Its grandiose nature gives Bublé a lot of room to show off the power in his
voice. (video)
3.
Weezer, “Zombie Bastards”: This week, Weezer
announced details for their upcoming ‘Black Album,’ and with it they released a
new single, “Zombie Bastards.” The song is definitely new-era Weezer, opting
for a bouncier feel rather than going back to their “emo” roots. However, it
doesn’t feel like the electronic-tinged or overly boastful songs they’ve tried
to pass off in the past either. While it’s not really the “dark” music we’ve
been expecting, I respect the level of
confidence Rivers Cuomo exudes in the lyrics and delivery of “Zombie,” giving
what lyrically seems like dire situation a bit of a triumphant edge. (video)
4.
The
1975, “Sincerity is Scary”: Everything about “Sincerity is Scary” is just
plain great. The song is a jazzy and upbeat piece of pop rock that feels joyous
despite the lyrics being fairly cynical. As for the video, it’s just entertaining
and bouncy as the song with its big dance production in the vein of “La La Land.”

5.
Thrice, “Only Us”: Thrice’s latest single “Only
Us” is a slow, sludgy alt-rock track about breaking down the “us vs. them”
mentality. It’s dramatic and passionate, really wrapping you in the song’s
story and purpose. The video does a good job of relating the song’s message,
depicting a camp based on a 1953 experiment where they pitted two groups of
boys against each other to see what would happen. (video)
6.
P.O.D.,
“Listening For The Silence”: Following the release of their latest album, ‘Circles,’
last week, P.O.D. have released a video for single “Listening For The Silence.”
For a song about dealing with mental illness, it doesn’t hit you over the head
with subject matter. Instead, the song focuses on how someone with stress or
PTSD goes through mentally, supporting the story with more melody than the band
has put into some of their previous singles. (video)
With the weekend here, now is the perfect time to take a

week. Check out some of our favorites above and let us know what new songs you’ve
