This week, creative women dominate all but one of the first 5 positions on New Music Friday. The theme of this week? Self-assured yet vulnerable. Starting with…
1. St. Vincent: “Broken Man”
St. Vincent delivers avant-garde, minimalist rocker attitude with “Broken Man.” She asks with fire, “Who the hell do you think I am?” as the song builds in instrumentals and volume. This song acts as the lead single to her new album, “All Born Screaming,” set to release on April 26th.
2. PVRIS, Tommy Genesis, Alice Longyu Gao: “Burn the Witch”
PVRIS, Tommy Genesis, and Alice Longyu Gao came out swinging with “Burn The Witch.” The song sends an bold and unfiltered message from women to the patriarchy, as they say “You fucked the world for power, look who’s got it now.” The artists pulled from different eras to create this rager, including the 90s and vintage horror films.
3. Griff: “Miss Me Too”
Griff‘s “Miss Me Too” is your new favorite dance pop anthem. This track sparkles in your ears with her smooth vocals and uplifting piano chords. She freely expresses the inner conflict of wanting to reconnect with a past relationship, but needing to truly reconnect with yourself.
4. Lana Lubany: “STANNA”
Lana Lubany continues to proudly show her Palestinian roots with her new bilingual tune, “STANNA,” meaning “wait.” The song masterfully merges phrygian guitar riffs with 00s R&B rhythms, creating an addictive sound. She loves herself and knows she’s a keeper, telling a specific someone, “don’t keep me waiting.”
5. Hail The Sun: “Secondary Worship”
Hail The Sun displays impressive vocal and emotional range in “Secondary Worship.” The electrifying post-hardcore track is fit for those days that you just want to soak in your feelings. Although the lyrics convey a heavy sense of regret, the screams and drama are a healing tool for many.
