A lot of new music gets released over the course of any
given week. This one was no exception, as we saw a plethora of new songs and
music videos hit the internet. That has been especially true for pop and rock,
with tracks from the Goo Goo Dolls, Charli XCX & Christine And The Queens,
The All-American Rejects and more out this week.
Vinyl Bay 777, Long Island’s music outlet, loves new music.
That’s why we’ve once again scoured the internet for the week’s hottest new
songs and music videos. Here are six (and a few more) that we know you’ll love
as much as we do.
1.
The Highwomen, “Redesigning Women”: Featuring
the supergroup team of Brandi Carlile, Maren Morris, Amanda Shires &
Natalie Hemby, The Highwomen’s “Redesigning Women” is a tribute to strong women
who break stereotypes. The upbeat country melody is memorable enough to lift
your spirits and get stuck in your head. (video)
2.
Goo Goo Dolls, “Miracle Pill”: “Miracle Pill”
finds 90s mainstays the Goo Goo Dolls “starting all over.” In more recent years,
the band’s music has made them feel like adults trying to seem young. However, “Miracle
Pill” sounds fresh. The song’s bluesy alt-rock melody sounds more Black Keys
than pop-rock, even though the song is upbeat and catchy enough to be played on
Adult Contemporary radio. (video)
3.
Charli XCX & Christine And The Queens, “Gone”:
Equally combining the electronic dance pop of Charli XCX and the softer 80s inspired
pop of Christine And The Queens, “Gone” feels like a pretty natural sound for
both artists.. Driven by a constant beat that punctuates the melody and lyrical
phrasing of the song, it’s a rather upbeat tune that finds the duo getting
existential about love. The two singers’ voices blend very well together among
all the electronic elements, which also helps. (video)
4.
Fitz and the Tantrums, “I Just Wanna Shine”: “I
Just Wanna Shine” is a bright tune with a light, funky groove that makes your
head bob along with every beat. The lyrics are as positive as the melody, with
the repetition of “today is gonna be my day” lifting your spirits and pumping
you up for the day ahead. (video)
5.
The All-American Rejects, “Send Her To Heaven”: The
All-American Rejects released a new three-song EP, ‘Send Her To Heaven,’ this
week. Of the songs, the title track stands out the most due in part to just how
dark it is. Similar to 2017’s “Sweat,” “Send Her To Heaven” gets away from the
pop-y direction they have become known for, instead opting for a heavier,
straight-up rock sound and a more storyteller-like lyrical approach. (video)
6.
Avril Lavigne, “I Fell In Love With The Devil”:
Continuing her streak of serious ballads, Avril Lavigne released a video for “I
Fell In Love With the Devil” this week. Like “Head Above Water,” the song
starts slow and dark, at times allowing you to hear the desperation in her
voice, and builds in intensity. The video exchanges waterfalls for the dark,
tree-covered woods and death imagery. (video)
