10 songs you need in your life this week
A guide to the tracks we love right now. In no particular order.
Each week The FADER staff rounds up the songs we can't stop playing. Here they are, in no particular order.
Tierra Whack, "Unemployed"
Nonstop Tierra over 8-bit trap.
Chief Keef & Zaytoven, "Petty"
Melodic Chief Keef + Zaytoven piano = *chef's kiss*.
Lizzo f. Missy Elliot, "Tempo"
Lizzo is Sizzling Hot like butter in a skillet. Also Missy Elliott purrs.
Dave f. J Hus, "Disaster"
London's Dave and J Hus trade gritty bars on "Disaster." Appreciate this savage one from Dave: "You better pray to God whenever I'm in town, like a kid in a divorce, I'm leaving with your spouse."
suckerpunnk, "Devil on My Shoulder"
Protect suckerpunnk, a singer from Charlotte who makes emo/rock/rap sludge that deserves to be as iconic as Avril Lavigne's peak catalogue.
Santi, "Sparky"
Nigeria's Santi puts an icepack on Afrobeats for his liquid-y new single, "Sparky."
Weyes Blood, "Movies"
Massively cinematic-sounding, Weyes Blood's "Movies" is a dive into a world that's bigger and more possible than our own.
EMPATH, "Hanging Out Of Cars"
EMPATH's newest whips up a chaos of noise and delirium that I imagine mirrors the feeling of speeding down the freeway with your head out the window.
Jamila Woods, "EARTHA"
Jamila Wood returns with "EARTHA," an early morning mood-setter with deep-cutting grooves.
Lust for Youth, "Great Concerns"
Lust for Youth laments climate change and deranged people over a bright, but brooding synth-pop beat.
