5 new songs you should add to your playlist this week
It’s always a good week when there’s a ton of great new songs to listen to! Here are five fresh tracks that you need to add to your playlist.
Thinking about the new week ahead can be daunting. Maybe you have some major projects at work that need to be done, or maybe you’re just swamped with household chores you keep putting off. Either way, the best way to beat off those Sunday Scaries is with great new songs!
There were a ton of hot new releases in the last week, so why not add these fresh tracks to your playlist, and get the ball rolling? Let artists like Jennifer Lopez, Maluma, Zayn and more motivate you to have a great week! (And even if it’s not a great week, at least you can count on the music being good.)
1. “Pa’ Ti” / “Lonely” by Jennifer Lopez & Maluma
When Jennifer Lopez does something, she does it all the way. So, of course, when she announced a collaboration with Latin music’s hottest rising star Maluma, we all knew they wouldn’t just throw together a song. The sexy duo collaborated on not one, but two, songs, and an extra-long music video featuring both. “Pa’ Ti” and “Lonely” are both sexy, vibey tracks, and mostly sung in Spanish (“Lonely” is Spanglish). The steamy visuals have high production values that make us even more excited for J.Lo and Maluma’s upcoming big-screen venture Marry Me.
2. “Don’t Say Goodbye” by Alok & Ilkay Sencan Feat. Tove Lo
Yes, clubs are still closed, and yes, they will be for a while. But that doesn’t mean you can’t bring the clubs to you! “Don’t Say Goodbye” by DJs Alok and Ilkay Sencan features vocals from Swedish songstress Tove Lo, so you know you’re in for a treat. The pounding bass demands you play the song at full blast, and your fist may or may not shoot right in the air as soon as the chorus drops. This earworm has major replay value!
3. “Magic” by Kylie Minogue
Kylie Minogue knows how to keep us all sane during this never-ending pandemic: disco! The lead single from her upcoming album (the aptly titled DISCO), “Say Something,” gave music lovers a burst of hope for the future. It was dreamy and hopeful and disco-fueled (of course). Now she’s done it again on “Magic.” She asks us all, “Do you believe in magic?” And whether you do or not, this disco bop will definitely have you convinced that you do! Kylie even gives us a neon nightclub fever dream of a music video to remind us of simpler times — and hopefully a time in the future when we can finally enjoy all this new music on the dance floor!
4. “Tu Tu Tu” by Galantis & NGHTMARE Feat. Liam O’Donnell
This track comes with a warning: It’s only two minutes long. Yes, that’s impossibly short for a song that’s going to burrow deep into your head the second you listen to it. You’ll find yourself inadvertently singing “Tu tu tu tu tu tu!” all day long. You want to talk about replay value? With such a short track from Galantis and NGHTMARE, you’ll find yourself hitting the repeat button over and over and over again.
5. “Better” by Zayn
If you’re not in the mood for sexy Latin songs, EDM club bangers, or disco bops, why not slow things down with Zayn? The former One Direction member (and new dad!) released this slow-burning R&B track to remind us he’s still here. Gigi Hadid may have just given birth to their daughter, but “Better” definitely gives off big baby-making music vibes!
