Troye Sivan ProfileAnother week, another ten bangers are coming your way.
Each week, The Music sifts through streaming services, our inboxes, and chats with each other to come up with ten new songs to feature on our weekly updated playlist, The Music’s Friday Finds: The Week’s Best New Music.
The playlist is updated on Spotify and Apple Music and includes the hottest songs from Australia and around the world. This week, we’ve gathered new songs from Troye Sivan, MAY-A, Rise Against, Larissa Lambert, Travis Scott, and much more.
Before you check out each song, though, here’s a short breakdown of each track that’s been added to our playlist this week.
Troye Sivan – Party
Are you ready to party? Troye Sivan sure is. On his thrilling new dance-pop single, Party, he keeps the momentum of She’s the Best with spoken-word elements and a nostalgic sample: Madonna’s Music.
MAY-A – Writing's on the Wall
While MAY-A only released her debut album, Goodbye (If You Call That Gone) earlier this year, she already has more to give on the undeniably huge grunge-flavoured single, Writing’s on the Wall. Showcasing her vocal range and musicality, the track is another winner from the Aussie singer.
Travis Scott – RHYNO
Travis Scott features on the forthcoming, highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI soundtrack, and with RHYNO, the hip-hop star delivers a new flow and electronic feel when he teams up with Daft Punk’s Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo.
The Buoys – Stay Up to Date On Politics
With fuzzed-out guitars opening The Buoys’ new single, Stay Up to Date On Politics, the Sydney band have unveiled another relatable anthem about interpersonal relationships, overthinking, and, yes, politics.
Rise Against – Private Eye
Covering an already well-known track like Alkaline Trio’s Private Eye is no easy feat, but Rise Against make it sound easy. Their classic, punk rock-driven sound and Tim McIlrath's commanding vocals make it an immediate classic.
2charm – making out
Reuniting with Ninajirachi once again – she produced a handful of tracks on 2charm’s debut album, star scum city – the rising electronic music duo keep the dancefloor warm with the affectionate number, making out.
Teddy Swims – Perfect Man
There might be no such thing as a perfect man, but a perfect voice? Teddy Swims definitely has that. His latest tune, Perfect Man, is a piano-led ballad that possesses the spirit of the blues and takes listeners on a life-affirming journey.
Larissa Lambert – Yearning
Larissa Lambert is proving herself as the next star of Australian R&B with her album, Yearning, and its stunning title track. With hard-hitting beats, luscious vocals, and longing lyrics, Lambert makes us all want to yearn.
Windwaker – dna
Windwaker continue to deliver their unique blend of metalcore, hip-hop and electronica on dna. This energetic new cut showcases their musical diversity and vocalist Liam Guinane's range. The melodic track hits hard and is sure to be a new fan favourite.
Public Figures – Push My Buttons
Punk rockers Public Figures have just dropped their most magnetic track to date, Push My Buttons. With ferocious drums and riffs, powerful vocals, and a careful balance of melody and chaos, this band brings urgency to the world stage.
