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.

Joy Oladokun, S.G. Goodman, and Madi Diaz have teamed up for a cover of Patty Griffin's "Be Careful," with proceeds benefitting Abortion Within Reach Coalition. S.G. comments, "To be honest, having to emphasize why the message of 'Be Careful' is important at this very moment is tragic within itself. Unfortunately, it’s relevant.

HEATHER WOODS BRODERICK - "BLOOD RUN THROUGH ME"
Heather Woods Broderick, who is on tour with Beth Orton currently, just released their very pretty new single.
