#NewMusicFriday: Our Picks for the Week
New music from KATSEYE, Feng, Natanael Cano, and more on New Music Friday.
1. KATSEYE – “That Way”
KATSEYE opens a bold new era with “That Way,” a standout from their third EP WILD. Following the striking energy of “PINKY UP” and “Animal,” the track reveals a softer, more intimate side of the project. While the earlier singles feel made for shaking bodies on the dancefloor, “That Way” leans into a comparatively private space, like morning makeup, weekend late nights, and chill moments that still carry KATSEYE’s magnetic glow. Indeed, the release also arrives ahead of KATSEYE: WILD HEARTS, bringing the group’s WILD era to cinemas.
2. The Head and The Heart – “The Swimming Song”
The Head and The Heart share “The Swimming Song,” a heartfelt cover of Loudon Wainwright III’s 1973 classic that arrives as a perfect ode to summer. Carried by warm guitars and an easygoing charm, the cover turns nostalgia into something vivid, capturing the romance of long drives, lake days, and memories that never quite fade. Indeed, the release also arrives ahead of the band’s September tour with Brandi Carlile.
3. Eli & Fur- “Ceremony (feat. Tailor)”
Eli & Fur return with “Ceremony,” a dreamy deep house track. It is perfectly shaped by deep devotion, shadowy romance, and late-night atmosphere. Opening with melancholy synths and breathy vocals, the track slowly builds into a hypnotic groove where indie storytelling meets immersive electronic production. At the same time, its darker beat and infectious hook give “Ceremony” a mysterious pull, making it feel just as intimate in midnight headphones as it does on a blurred, romantic dance floor.
4. Feng – “Fake Friends”
Feng drops “Fake Friends,” a dreamy new single. The single’s most captivating pull comes through its psychedelic atmosphere, it opens into a floating, cloud-like world. Hazy, weightless, and fully immersive, “Fake Friends” feels like music made for escaping reality, turning everyday noise into something soft, surreal, and beautifully detached.
5. Natanael Cano, Gabito Ballesteros – “La Cherokee”
Natanael Cano featuring Gabito Ballesteros sharing “La Cherokee,” the third single from his upcoming album, Natanael Cano Vol. 1. Following Cano’s recent collaboration with Gabito Ballesteros on “Pa’ La Maña,” (more details about their previous collaboration HERE), the track continues this era’s focus on Norteño storytelling, swagger, and life lived at full speed. Based on a cinematic narrative and the image of a Cherokee truck cutting through chaos, “La Cherokee” adds another hard-hitting chapter before the album arrives August 27.
