There is a whole ton of new music to digest this weekend—for starts: there's that new Justin Bieber, The Weeknd's great new album, Halsey's Badlands, not to mention these other 13 songs—and yet this song from a newcomer has wormed its way into our ears and to the top of that pile at the last second. L.A.-by-way-of-Toronto artist JAHKOY's "Hold Your Hand" is a sticky blend of sweet-voiced R&B and vivid dance, longing and hand claps, and for some reason there is a rapped verse stuck thrown in there, too. Put this on your party playlists and TGIF.
