Bop Shop: Songs From Haim, Yung Gravy, Jessie Ware, And More

  Georgia: “Everything I Wanted” (Billie Eilish cover)
  
  
  
  
  
  No one can do what Billie Eilish can, so Georgia doesn’t try. As a substitute, the London dance-pop star highlights the bright spots on this gauzy, dark dream of Eilish’s tune, adding strings recorded at Abbey Road along with a clarity of voice that makes each word a statement. The light shines through: This cover even comes paired with an orchestral take on last year’s fantastic “About Work the Dancefloor.” —Patrick Hosken

  Haim: “The Steps”
  
  
  https://www.Youtube.Com/watch?V=J2O_xa8cems
  
  
  
  With “Summer Girl,” “Now I’m in It,” and “Hallelujah,” it rapidly became clear that Haim were on a winning streak. Earlier this month, that streak continued as soon as the sisters dropped their empowering and therapeutic new single “The Steps,” which sets a unraveling relationship to groovy guitars and rip-roaring drums.
  
  
  “I can't understand why you don't understand me, baby,” the sisters croon on the chorus. Although make no mistake; they can take care of themselves. “Every day I wake up and I make some cash for myself / And though we share a bed, you know that I don't need your help.” The relationship seems broken behind upkeep, however you won’t catch them sulking about it. “If you go left / And I go right / Hey, maybe that's just life sometimes.” Event in the scenario that you require a lesson in shrugging it off, you’ve come to the correct place. —Jordyn Tilchen

  Yung Gravy & bbno$: "Myrtle Beach Summer 1974"
  
  
  https://www.Youtube.Com/watch?V=v8JYWYGtAsg
  
  
  
  I can't help although dance in my seat (or wherever am) Once I hear this infectious Baby Gravy 2 track. It might not be suave because the other tracks on the wonderful EP, yet that's exactly why I love it. Evocative of the '70s club and clubgoers the song means to evoke, it's effortlessly funky and hilarious at the same time. Yung Gravy and bbno$ glide by means of the beat and trade-off bars for an earworm of a chorus that you won't have the ability to help bobbing your head to. It's probably not the ideal idea to roll up in the club with coronavirus now, however this song is certainly the next best thing. —Brittany Vincent

  Dash Flash: “Living My life”
  
  
  https://www.Youtube.Com/watch?V=Q318Ex3Muh8
  
  
  
  “I remember being broke, I remember starved nights.” I love a good come-up bar. Dash Flash’s 2019 release “Living My Life” is full of those inspirational tidbits that let you know your life can change with some elbow grease. He peddles a sincere flow while injecting it with personality, making his observations and memories pop underneath huge beats. “Living My Life” is Flash’s chance to let you know that in back of the wet jewels and expensive neon-colored whips, there’s a serious struggle that brought him to this point. As he relays it to you, the way that it’s packaged gets you on the fast track to your own success. —Trey Alston

  Vundabar: “Out of It”
  
  
  
  
  
  There’s no need to bring in the news (and how terrible it all is) into this. So let’s concentrate on Boston indie outfit Vundabar and why much their sunny song feels like a reprieve from, well, everything. Even because the other tracks on their new album Either Light bound from caffeinated to garage-y, they explore the darker entropy of modern existence; musical group leader Brandon Hagen was influenced by The Sopranos any time while they made it. “I like Tony Soprano because his story makes the some days implicit brutality of American life and capitalism explicit,” he wrote recently. And here we are, talking about the news again. Good thing the stretchy Either Light is out in full now. —Patrick Hosken

  Jessie Ware: “Spotlight”
  
  
  https://youtu.Be/kw56LGfrf4A
  
  
  
  The intro of Jessie Ware’s latest single might trick you into thinking you’re about to hear a cinematic ballad, perhaps something from the now-delayed new James Bond movie. Yet about 35 seconds in, the beat drops, and “Spotlight” changes gear into a ‘90s R&B-inspired disco track that fans of Toni Braxton will no doubt desire to spin on repeat. Ware’s fourth album, What’s Your Pleasure?, is out June 5. —Bob Marshall

  Asia Graves: “All I Need”
  
  
  
  
  
  With one line, wrapped in different voices from all sides, Asia Graves whisks you away to her world of sincere emotions and true love. “All I Need” is an immersion in love’s honeymoon phase once it all feels right, no matter what occurs. Her warm voice is submerged in a deep sea of aquatic production that sounds brilliant in the way that it offsets her deeper timbre. If new love is like this, sign me up again. —Trey Alston

  Sasami: “Mess”
  
  
  https://youtu.Be/ry9mzupDly0
  
  
  
  “What are you using for that fuzz sound?” An astute YouTube listener asks in the comments for this low-key banger. Sasami might rather keep it a trade secret, as it’s one of two potent elements on her roaring new “Mess.” The other one is her voice, doubled so closely that it becomes a powerful singular entity. “Mess” is, case in point, quite meticulously crafted. That’s what makes it so satisfying to hear those guitar squalls set the full song on fire. —Patrick Hosken
