22 New Songs Out Today
So many artists, so many songs, so little time. Each week we review a handful of new albums (of all genres), round up even more new music that we’d call “indie,” and talk about what metal is coming out. We post music news, track premieres, and more all day. We update a playlist weekly of some of our current favorite tracks. Here’s a daily roundup with a bunch of interesting, newly released songs in one place.

MESHELL NDEGEOCELLO – “THUS SAYETH THE LORDE”
No More Water: The Gospel of James Baldwin, the new album from Meshell Ndegeocello, is out next month, and she’s given us another early taste with “Thus Sayeth the Lorde,” which references Audre Lorde. “There’s a YouTube video of Baldwin with Nikki Giovanni,” Ndegeocello told Ari Shapiro on All Things Considered. “Watching that I could see that Baldwin had to work a little bit on his feminism. So within the project, we wanted to add another voice. And I think Audre Lorde just fits within that continuum of information and knowledge.”

MAREN MORRIS – “I HOPE I NEVER FALL IN LOVE”
Maren Morris’ new EP Intermission is out on August 2 via Columbia, and she’s shared another single from it, “i hope i never fall in love.” “‘i hope i never fall in love’ is the afterglow of a shitshow,” she says. “It’s a bittersweet heartbreaker because I’m in self-protection mode but still want to feel things. So throwing parties, going home with a stranger, popping champagne, whatever we need to do to process our trauma, it’s not a pretty road to healing. I, of course, do want to fall in love again, but I can’t put my heart through it just yet, so here’s a number about this strange but constructive (and destructive) window of my life.”
