Lizzo - Juice

A: Lizzo
S: Juice

Four days into the new year, Lizzo released the first great song of 2019. The Minneapolis singer-rapper-flautist specializes in propulsive self-empowerment anthems - feel-good songs about feeling good - and Juice may be her finest yet, a near-perfect retro-funk nugget that would have felt just right on a mirror-balled dance floor in 1982. Funk below.

...  I'm not a snack at all, I'm the whole damn meal.

ROSALÍA - DE AQUÍ NO SALES

A: ROSALÍA
S: DE AQUÍ NO SALES

Rosalía shared an epic visual for De Aquí No Sales, showcasing the Catalan songwriter's signature swagger. Following an epic run of videos from El Mal Querer in 2018, Rosalía has revealed the fifth of the album’s 11 tracks to receive a visual treatment. In every scene, as always, Rosalía comes across singularly unfuckwitable.

... de lo que a ti te está doliendo.

DRAM - Cash Machine

A: DRAM
S: Cash Machine

D.R.A.M. dedicated his 2016 track to his money counter. This followed his viral sensation Broccoli and his single Cute. Like Broccoli, Cash Machine was well-received, garnering the top spot on Stereogum’s 5 Best Songs of the Week for the week it was released. It also samples a classic Ray Charles song, Hallelujah I love Her So for the piano loop heard at the start of the song.

... how I feel 'bout you is lukewarm.

Poolside - Everything Goes

A: Poolside
S: Everything Goes

If you've seen Poolside DJ the last few years you've probably heard Everything Goes, probably depending on how much time you've spent doing your stuff on the cubicles or the actual dance floor because they play the track it every set. Repetitive, but still. Poolside now worked with a cellist on Everything Goes and had fun trying something different. Enjoy below.

... walk away 'cause we're not afraid.

Ryan Adams - Fuck The Rain

A: Ryan Adams
S: Fuck The Rain

After announcing he’d be releasing three (count ‘em!) albums in 2019, Ryan Adams has now shared a track from the first of that trio of records. The weather-toting Fuck The Rain is taken from Big Colors, which is set for release April 1. Ryan says: “Check out this song it’s cool. Or don’t- we all might die trump is president. I love you, sincerely Ryan Adams.”

... can I live long enough to be alive.

Foals - Exits

A: Foals
S: Exits

Foals have discussed the meaning of their bold new single Exits, along with the making of the surreal video starring Game Of Thrones’ Isaac Hempstead Wright. “Exits’ is basically about trying to paint a visual picture with words about the state of where we’re at, and all the preoccupations that we have,” frontman Yannis Philippakis said. “The environment being one, also the state of surveillance and all of the ways that we attached to the outside world. There isn’t any privacy."

... now the sea eats the sky.

Dendemann - Menschine

A: Dendemann
S: Menschine

Na dendlich: DENDEMANN meldet sich nach 8 Jahren Pause mit Da Nich Für! zurück. Was vor allem auch in Böhmermanns Neo Magazin Royale, wo Dendemann als musikalischer Sidekick auftrat, zum Running Gag geriet - „Wann kommt dein Album raus?“ - ist nun also dendlich Wirklichkeit geworden.
