So many artists, 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.
KID CUDI & NIGO - "WANT IT BAD"
Having recently shared the A$AP Rocky collab from his upcoming album I Know Nigo, Bape founder Nigo has now shared the Kid Cudi collab. It was produced by Pharrell, and it finds Kid Cudi taking on more of a gurgly auto-tune vibe than usual.

THE WEDDING PRESENT - "I AM NOT GOING TO FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU"
“As a songwriter, you usually tend to want to forge ahead and continually try new ideas but I’m under no illusions, here," says Wedding Present frontman and founder David Gedge of the band's new single. "‘I Am Not Going To Fall In Love With You’ has ‘classic’ Wedding Present running through its veins. It’s co-written by Jon Stewart who was a huge Wedding Present fan when he was at university [and we were at RCA Records] and it’s as if he was drinking from a bottle of distilled essence of Bizarro and the Hit Parade when he came up with this one!" This is from TWP's monthly 2022 singles series.

SHOUT OUT LOUDS - HOUSE
Shout Out Louds' new album, House, is out today and if there's a classic feel to it, it's because it was produced by Peter Bjorn & John's Bjorn Yttling, who was behind the boards for 2007's Our Ill Wills. “We still love what we’re doing and get along like we did when we were 15, which is crazy but such a great feeling,” says frontman Adam Olenius. “It makes us really happy that we’re still able to travel around the world and hear from people that our music’s helped them in some way. We just want to create a space for people to be completely themselves, and to get a little closer to wherever they’re hoping to go in life.”

CANDESCENT A.D. - "WYNASH GARDEN"
UK band Candescent A.D. have announced a new EP, Dissociation In Three Fractions, due April 1 via Church Road. First single "Wynash Garden" kind of falls under the metalcore umbrella, but there's a lot of other cool stuff going on too and it's definitely not tied down to any specific genre.

HOT WATER MUSIC - "LOCK UP"

HAILEY WHITTERS - "THE NEON"
As mentioned, Nashville country singer Hailey Whitters' new album RAISED comes out on March 18, and this is a melancholic one, as Hailey explains: "I think the next line that came out of the room that day was ‘here comes the sad part’ and we instantly knew it was this ‘tear in my beer’ type lyric. I love getting to tap into this song emotionally every time I sing it."

CURREN$Y & THE ALCHEMIST - "NO YEAST" (ft. BOLDY JAMES)
Curren$y and The Alchemist just released their new album Continuance, and Alchemist's jazzy, psychedelic production goes with Curren$y's stoned delivery as perfectly as ever. One of the album's major standouts is "No Yeast," which features another frequent Alchemist collaborator, Boldy James.
