In our weekly selection of the best songs, we unveil upcoming superstars and major bops, so grab your headphones and follow our brand-new Spotify playlist.

1. Roísin Murphy and DJ Koze — Fader

The iconic artist Róisín Murphy collaborated with celebrated producer DJ Koze for her upcoming album, Hit Parade (out Sept. 8), which includes the intriguing “Fader.” On it, the Irish artist goes for a very laidback atmosphere, where the choruses and verses blend seamlessly, and the strong use of samples makes for a particularly captivating track.

2. Sevdaliza and Villano Antillano — Ride Or Die

Sevdaliza is among the most engaging artists we know, and that is why we always eagerly await new music from her. This time, the Iranian singer collaborated with Villano Antillano to explore reggaeton beats on “Ride Or Die” and combined them with her mysterious vibe. Sevdaliza is clearly continuing to experiment with her sound, making “Ride Or Die” another exciting release.

3. Only Fire — Squirt

Croatian producer Only Fire puts the heat on us with the explicit “Squirt”, as it is not only with the lyrics of his new single that he creates a hot vibe. In fact, when the beats come in, it creates a sensuality that implores you to move. Shygirl, Eartheater, and Brooke Candy are already fans, and so are we, thanks to this single.

4. Soo Joo — W8ing 4 U

The American-Korean supermodel and DJ Soo Joo released her first release under her own name with “W8ing 4 U”, creating a very dreamy atmosphere that, thanks to the synths and violins, provides goosebumps throughout the song. The song was created in collaboration with celebrated producer Vegyn, who helped her clarify her vision and gave her all the space she needed to develop herself.

5. Deadbeat Girl — When You Went

“When You Went” by the upcoming NYC-based Deadbeat Girl is the kind of track that takes you on a real musical journey. Their first verse still starts very subdued, then a drum & bass production completely changes the mood of the song, keeping you in a trance listening to this magical track. “When You Went” is compelling and mesmerizing.
