  Taylor Swift is finished talking about her reputation and willing to let's know who she really is. Soon after 13 (of course) long days of pastel-colored clues and FBI-level fan theories, Taylor is officially back with a new musical era, kicked off by "ME!" featuring Brendon Urie of Panic! At the Disco. Urie is a surprising collaborator for Swift — unless you caught the hint in her Elle "Pop Is Personalized essay in February: any time I hear 'I Write Sins Not Tragedies' by Panic! At The Disco, I'm transported back to being [16] and driving down the streets of Hendersonville, Tennessee, with my best friend Abigail, euphorically screaming the lyrics." EVERYTHING IS A CLUE, PEOPLE.
  
  
  Here, Urie's vocals sweetly compliment Taylor's because the two duet and remind us what makes them so unique in the initial place ("I promise that you'll never find another like me"). The song is a upbeat bop right out of the gate, meant to lift your spirit and fill you with light, love, and happiness. It seems that the dark, fierce Reputation days are beyond her and the snakes have quite literally burst into butterflies. This is only the begin of what's to come in this "next chapter," as Taylor dubbed it. Stay tuned, Swifties — we truly will never find another like HER. —Alissa Godwin

  Though it might not directly be the ode to Julien Baker we all deserve, CRJ's latest glimpse of Dedicated is her finest yet: a silky disco earworm that forgoes her normal towering refrains for something more lived in. If "Now That I Noticed You" sprints to its chorus like a clubgoer to the dance floor, "Julien" surveys the room first. As soon as it finally flaunts its crystalline sparkles, the tune blossoms into an absolute showstopper. It is, immediately considering that, "the song that taught me the heart and direction of this album," Jepsen tweeted. Can’t wait to be able to see which way that points. —Patrick Hosken

  TWICE: "Fancy"

  because the saying goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." However as soon as you're the largest girl order on the planet, you've earned the correct to tinker a little. TWICE's latest single might not be the total "girl crush" overhaul some fans were hoping for — thanks to member Momo's thigh-length boots and that slinky choreography featured in the teaser — although elaborate does feel like the begin of a diva-lite new chapter for the order. For the uneducated, TWICE is a nine-member order from South Korea's JYP Entertainment — and they're insanely popular. Their catchy, honey-voiced hooks are easy to love (and to sing along to), and intricate is no exception. (It's still a TWICE song, right considering that) However the track also finds the order trial and error with more mature sounds. The first synth adds a layer of mystique that has previously evaded TWICE and their deliriously cheery bops. And Dahyun and Chaeyoung's rap verses hit harder than usual over a heavy bass. Elaborate isn't a complete transformation; it's a developments. It's what occurs as soon as Asia's preference girl sort grows up. —Crystal Bell

  https://www.Youtube.Com/watch?V=33Fo_sW4Xfo
  
  
  
  Few albums brought me as much excitement and happiness as Modest Mouse's classic Good News For People Who Love Bad News, and seeing the musical group proclaiming "I'm Still Here" with their latest release is like wrapping up in an enormous, fuzzy blanket soon after a hot shower and taking a nap. It's familiar, it feels excellent, and there really are few better feelings in the world. It assists the that the track is an absolute banger, too.
  
  
  The track made its debut because the B-side to the band's Record Store Day 7-inch single for "Poison the Well," nevertheless right now it's officially out for streaming. It's one of the initial songs the musical group has released since its 2015 album, Strangers to Ourselves, and they're about to kick off a tour with The Black Keys this September.
  
  
  of course, I'll be there at one of their tour aids in averting, cheering on the musical group that's been there for me ever since their album changed my life. They're still here, alright. —Brittany Vincent

  Mannequin Pussy: "Drunk II"
  
  
  https://youtu.Be/IZ0Xjl5KusI
  
  
  
  Mannequin Pussy's first single off their upcoming third album is titled "Drunk II," and it's about, well, being also drunk. Specifically, so drunk that you call your ex because you did not remember you broke up. Ouch, nevertheless heartbreak can do that to you. What makes "Drunk II" be noticeable is how honestly vocalist Marisa Dabice chronicles the post-breakup bar marathon, attempting to drink the sadness away or perhaps hook up with someone to temporarily supply your heart some respite. Truly, there's nothing more universally relatable than wanting to shout into the heavens while in a moment of extreme vulnerability, "I still love you, you ridiculous fuck!" —Bob Marshall

  Young Nudy and Pi'erre Bourne ft. 21 Savage: "Mister"
  
  
  https://www.Youtube.Com/watch?V=RbHnJNmbXVI
  
  
  
  Young Nudy is more of a talker than rapper; his words just sound good blasting out of vehicle speakers under a brutal summer sun. Pi'erre Bourne is the producer that keeps Nudy afloat, giving the rapper an idiosyncratic edge. It's habitually a heater if they step into the booth. Their latest is "Mister," a sunny, trap-influenced tune that introduces Nudy to the beach. He finally steps from under the shade of Pi'erre's regular darker, stormy productions. 21 Savage makes an appearance here and steps right into sync with what the two have built. One takeaway from this? Hopefully, Pi'erre and 21 Savage work with each other in the future. —Trey Alston

  Cuco: "Hydrocodone"

  Cuco has gifted fans with a dreamy new music video for his recently released single "Hydrocodone." With the song’s lonely lyrics and the video's funereal imagery, it's hard to imagine that these new works weren't informed by the time Cuco spent recovering from a serious vehicle accident that he and his bandmates were involved in last October. The music video is a stunning pop romantic take on the cycle of life and death. The video's director, Jazmin Garcia, described it as an abstract journey "dedicated to the memory of our past and future selves." It’s also a testament to the magic that can occur as soon as POC are in front of and in back of the camera. Cuco's new album is expected to drop later this year, although be sure to check him out on tour for those summer vibes. —Jenny Catherall
