#NewMusicFriday: Our Picks for the Week
New music from Troye Sivan, beabadoobee, Casper Caan, and more on New Music Friday.
1. Troye Sivan – “Party”
Troye Sivan returns with “Party,” a hypnotic, euphoric ode to losing yourself in a keep moving night. Built around a sample of Madonna’s iconic “Music,” the track captures the cyclical rush of going from place to place, inspired by Melbourne bush doofs and the sacred release of queer nightlife. As Troye Sivan explains, dance music transforms on the dance floor, where repetition becomes almost hypnotic. Following “She’s the Best,” “Party” shifts from personal influence to collective escape. While it gorgeously turns nightlife into a liberating space where people lose themselves and find each other.
2. beabadoobee – “Write Me A Letter”
beabadoobee releases “Write Me A Letter,” a raw indie-rock single from her upcoming album Pylon. After “Memories,” one of the album’s happiest songs, previously highlighted in NMF HERE. “Write Me A Letter” moves through a different kind of emotional honesty. In Contrast, it deepens the album’s turbulent world of love, uncertainty, and unsaid feelings into something urgent. Indeed, beabadoobee’s Powerlines Tour kicks off on October 1, Tickets available HERE.
3. Sophie Power – “M.I.A”
Sophie Powers drops “M.I.A.,” a hyper-pop single about the anxiety of living online. Following her viral American Idol audition, the track captures the push and pull of wanting to disappear from the digital world while missing it the moment it goes quiet. Sonically, airy electronic details flicker like pixels before heavy bass and metal-edged textures crash in, turning digital numbness into something sharp, restless, and impossible to ignore.
4. Josiah Queen – “when I see You”
Josiah Queen shares “when I see You,” a soulful new track from his upcoming album Damascus Road. Based on graceful acoustic guitar, a laid-back drumbeat, and Queen’s quietly urgent vocals, the track imagines the awe of meeting Jesus face to face in Heaven. As a result, “when I see You” turns the future hope into a modern call to live with deeper faith.
5. Casper Caan, Wheatus – “Bird Song”
Casper Caan collaborates with Brendan Brown of Wheatus on “Bird Song,” a euphoric indie anthem packed with retro charm and restless energy. Opening with chant-like vocals before bursting into pulsing Linn drums, jagged guitars, stadium-sized organs, and a wild percussion breakdown, the track feels playful, psychedelic, and fully alive. “Bird Song” ultimately turns bittersweet lyrics about new beginnings into a bright rush of leaving the past behind.
