Each week The FADER staff rounds up the songs we can't stop playing. Here they are, in no particular order.
Sahbabii ft. T3, "Boyfriend"
Sahbabii dropped his excellent new project Squidtastic last week, and we can't stop listening to "Boyfriend" — if only to hear the much-too-short dance breakdown at the end.
Megan Thee Stallion, "Neva"
Houston rapper Megan Thee Stallion dropped off a serious new visual for "Neva" earlier this week, bringing the bad-bitch Tina Snow-cut back into rotation.
DENA, "HMU"
Indie pop singer DENA's new song utilizes a minimal beat that perfectly emphasizes the incantation-like quality of her delivery. Compel those DMs to come to you.
Br3nya, "Good Food"
London rapper Br3nya oozes confidence in "Good Food," which should be mandatory listening to conquer the day: "Don't watch me, you can't afford this shit."
L Devine, "Peer Pressure"
L Devine is the U.K.'s newest pop star and her chirpy new song "Peer Pressure" is a vocoder-laced, existential lyric-filled ("Now that I'm at 20 years Hell is where I'm living") bop I can't stop listening to.
Saintseneca, "Pillar of Na"
Folk band Saintseneca's "Pillar of Na," in its 8-minute runtime glory, meanders through several different musical movements that makes listening feel like experiencing an epic novel.
