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.
SAWEETIE – “NANI”
Saweetie returns with “NANi,” an irresistible rap/pop hybrid with a hook and a video that feels perfect for summer. Okay, now drop the album, Saweetie!

LOS CAMPESINOS! – “A PSYCHIC WOUND”
It’s only been two days since Los Campesinos! announced their new album All Hell and released lead single “Feast of Tongues,” and they’ve already released its second single. This one’s a little more punky and propulsive, and it’s another great one.

BODY COUNT – “PSYCHOPATH” (ft. FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY’s JOE BADOLATO)
Ice-T’s rap metal band Body Count are gearing up to release their eighth album Merciless on Century Media (release date TBA), and it’ll include new single “Psychopath.” It was co-produced by Will Putney, and it features guest vocals by Will’s Fit For An Autopsy bandmate Joe Badolato. (Corpsegrinder from Cannibal Corpse is a confirmed guest on the album too.) If you’re gonna name a song “Psychopath,” it’s gotta go hard, and this does.

LONDON GRAMMAR – “KIND OF MAN”
London Grammar have a new album on the way; The Greatest Love is due out on September 13, and they’ve given us an early taste with “Kind of Man.” Vocalist Hannah Reid says, “‘Kind of Man’ is about watching somebody descend into the sort of glamour and slight corruption of Hollywood. The song is obviously about misogyny but it’s about sexism in a tongue-in-cheek way. That’s kind of what I love about the song. I didn’t want it to be melancholic in any way. So, yeah it’s quite an upbeat way of saying that. I like the fact that it’s talking about a pattern of relationship where you could maybe expect a man who might not respect you and who might be the exact kind of man to fall in love with you – and it’s kind of that dichotomy.”
