New Music Monday

Everyone has their heavy rotation with music, but it’s good to change it up every once in a while, right? Try these seven new tracks.

Bad Suns

“One Magic Moment”

The perky beat and cute lyrics are a great way to start your Monday out right. 

If asked to describe it, it would be the song in a rom com when the guy finally realizes he shouldn’t have let the girl get away and runs after her. 

Ben Platt

“Grow as We Go”

Unless you’re a Broadway fanatic, few people have heard of Ben Platt outside of his role as adorable magician “Benji” in the Pitch Perfect movie series.

This song is beautifully written with lyrics that will make your heart ache. This single is the third he has released as part of his upcoming album “Sing to Me Instead.” His other two songs “Bad Habit” and “Ease My Mind” are also great ones to check out, and have personally been played on repeat. 

Bryce Vine ft. YG

“La La Land”

I am so ready for summer. And this song makes me nostalgic for driving around with the windows down and music up.

Road trip to California, anyone?

Jason Derulo ft. LAY and NCT 127

“Let’s Shut Up and Dance”

For a song that is dedicated to Michael Jackson, the song is nothing reminiscent of Jackson’s style. But true to the title’s name, I’d be ready to dance to this beat.

The song has a latina beat but also is the typical Jason song that would also get frat boys on the dance floor.

Jonas Brothers

“Sucker”

The Jo Bros are back. 

Their original sound revamped to match a 2019 pop vibe. The track is easily recognizable as them, with their beautiful voices finally harmonizing together again, but they’ve grown up just as we have. Ten year old me is excited for more.

Rita Ora

“Only Want You”

So many songs feature lyrics about dating around, having a good time going out, finding new people. But Rita is done with the games and ready for the one.

Relatable, Rita. Relatable. 

It won’t be long until you hear this track entwined with the other top hits on the radio.

Thomas Rhett

“Look What God Gave Her”

An upbeat country song that does not focus on trucks or beer. 

The first line makes me think of One Direction‘s “What Makes You Beautiful.”

But past that, the lyrics are adorable, especially when you know that he is writing about his wife.
