This is rave rock, Yaeji style.
“4EVA (feat. Pharrell Williams)” - Kaytraminé
The battle for song of the summer has begun! Kaytraminé’s (the new duo of Kaytranada and Aminé) groove-inducing and Pharrell-featuring “4EVA” is in first place.
“People Pt.2 (feat. IU)” - Agust D
BTS’ Suga, as his alias Agust D, gets into the crevices of human nature on this pensive duet with South Korea’s most beloved vocalist, IU.
“Too Many Things” - The Linda Lindas
The Linda Lindas and their bone-crunching punk sound fight against raising expectations on their rambunctious first release of the year.
“Terms and Conditions” - Mahalia
There are an innumerable number of grooves on Mahalia’s latest, another excellent addition to the late-90s R&B trend.
“I Been Young” - George Clanton
Everything about vaporwave pioneer George Clanton’s new single screams turn-of-the-century heartthrob hit, down to its time-warped music video.
“Blockbuster” - KC Rae
KC Dalager, the lead singer of one of pop music’s greatest groups Now, Now, is solo and conjuring sherbet-skied dreams about Blockbuster.
“One Touch” - Bambii
Bow at the altar of Toronto’s hottest DJ of the moment, Bambii.
“Wild Heart” - Towa Bird
In a speeding car racing through the desert is the only acceptable way to listen to Towa Bird’s exuberant “Wild Heart.”
“Under Your Spell” - Snow Strippers
Snow Strippers’ “Under Your Spell” is a little Eurodance, a little trashy suburban electronica, and a lot of fun.
