A lot of music is released over the course of any given week.
This week was no exception as we got some brand new tracks from big names in
rock and pop, including Taylor Swift, Shawn Mendes, Madonna, Angels and
Airwaves, Of Monsters and Men and many more.
Vinyl Bay 777, Long Island’s music outlet, loves new music.
That’s why we’ve once again scoured the internet for some of the week’s top new
songs and music videos. From rock and
pop to even a little hip-hop, here are six (and a few more) of our favorites
that we think you’ll enjoy.
1.
Angels And Airwaves, “Rebel Girl”: Angels And
Airwaves waste no time getting back to form with their new single “Rebel Girl,”
the band’s first new song since 2016. The song’s underlying rock guitars and
drums give it some heft while the synths make the melody soar. Tom DeLonge’s
hard pronunciations add a punchiness to the already catchy chorus. (video)
2.
Logic feat. Eminem,
“Homicide”: I’m impressed by two things with this track: 1) the speed at which
Logic raps and 2) how he intertwines Eminem’s signature “chicka-chicka” into
the song before bringing Em himself out. This weaving of two artists unique
styles is something that doesn’t always happen with collaborations and its nice
when it does. (video)
3.
Celine
Dion, “Right In Front Of You”: “Right In Front Of You” is exactly what you
would expect to hear from Celine Dion. The song’s melody is light and uplifting
with a sound that takes you right back to her 1990s hits. (video)
4.
Madonna,
“I Rise”: It’s almost uncanny how young Madonna’s vocals feel on this album. I
don’t mean Madonna in her heyday young, but in the sense that if you close your
eyes, this could be any of the up and coming female vocalists making pop music
right now. The melody and pacing of the song are super trendy. Madonna really
has some good people behind her. (video)
5.
New Years Day, “Shut Up”: “Shut Up” is a
pounding track with a grinding bass line, sludgy guitars and biting lyrics
about knowing what you want and not letting anyone tell you different. It’s one
of the more memorable songs on the band’s new album, as its melody is quite
catchy and its phrasing is really easy to pick up. The video is a bit gore-y
towards the end, so you’ve been warned. (video)
6.
Taylor Swift feat. Brendon Urie, “Me!”: It’s
hard to know what to make of “Me!.” The song is very bubbly and grandiose, a
complete 180 turn from her last album. It’s almost too saccharine to enjoy.
However, it’s also immensely catchy, which has to count for something. That she
tapped Panic! At The Disco’s Brendon Urie to sing duet seems very appropriate given
the quirkiness of his music and career. (video)
