For this week’s Tunesday, we’ve got everything from rap, to indie-pop, to R&B and more. So pop in those airpods (or put on those headphones) and dig into a smorgasbord of specially selected new songs.

Rhett is well known for his ability to combine traditional country music with pop, providing a modern mix that is refreshing to hear. However, Rhett took this album a step further with songs that could be classified under all sorts of genres including old country, new country, rock, pop and more.
‘New’ has been a theme for many of us students this week. New classes, schedules and friends— why not throw some new songs into the mix? I hope you enjoy these trending tunes as much as I did.
After the 66th Grammy Awards on Sunday, the music world is reeling from the annual snubs and historic wins. Here’s some of the best music that has come out this week, with some familiar names and some new faces to keep an eye out for.
By sticking to one or two genres of music, you are depriving yourself of so much great music. If you have a sneaking suspicion that you will like a certain song or artist you’ve never listened to, I’m willing to bet you will.
The king of fall keeps collecting folk and country artists like they’re Infinity Stones. Between Zach Bryan, Hozier and Kacey Musgraves, Noah Kahan is close to controlling the world. He is inevitable.
The first day of fall has come and gone. New music drops every day, along with the temperature and the leaves. Let’s get into the best releases of the past week.
Here we are, three weeks into the semester. Whether you’re reeling from being humbled by those first few assignments or you’re riding high from a lucky 86%, there’s plenty of new music to match or boost your mood.
Niall Horan has been killing it recently, releasing banger after banger and bringing back simple and fun pop music. “Meltdown” has a backing chorus of singers that is almost operatic, lending a really bright sound to the song. It’s high energy and so happy, almost like the Irish member of One Direction’s answer to Harry Styles’ “As It Was.”
So, it sounds like Khalid might be making a surprising comeback this summer with “Be The One.” Although he’s just a feature, he really makes this song what it is. When I hear the track, I’m ready to get home for the summer, hit some trails and soak up the sunshine.
Hippo Campus is criminally underrated. The band just came out with an EP, “Wasteland,” which leaves you wanting much, much more at a curt 18 minutes. “Moonshine” is perfect, full stop. It’s happy, so pretty and has a whole ecosystem of backing instrumentals that make the very first listen a beautiful surprise.
“All Of The Girls You Loved Before” is a previously unreleased track from Taylor Swift’s 2019 album, “Lover.” It’s easy to see how this one fits the theme of that album. Warm, fuzzy and really romantic, “All Of The Girls You Loved Before” is Swift at her most content, most mature in terms of her songwriting.
Every girl you know posted this album over spring break on her Instagram story. And it was for a good reason, for the most part. I’d say about half of this whopping 36-song record is worth your time. “Keith Whitley” is part of that good half, an homage to one of country music’s beloved ‘80s stars.
Speaking of indie, Hippo Campus is one of those bands that I “gatekept” in high school so that I could remain cool for as long as possible. I’m doing a 180 on that now. Do me a favor and listen to “Kick in the Teeth” by Hippo Campus.
If you’re in search of the week’s best new music, look no further. Here’s a short list of the music worth a listen to start your week off right.
