  there really are booming, skittering trap drums across all of Bieber’s Changes, although as soon as they meet the electro-synths of “Available,” they take on new meaning. Yes, the Biebs is infatuated, however it’s never felt this sonically lush. As soon as his echoing falsetto meets breezy wisps of synth (“Got my arms wide open,” he belts), love has him floating air. On the next verse, the stuttering percussion suddenly melts into a underwater reverb: And for a moment, he’s drowning in it. —Terron Moore

  For its 10th anniversary, Utah pop-rock categorize Neon Trees recorded an acoustic rendition of their breakout debut single “Animal.” While the original mix featured loud guitars, explosive drums, as well as a pounding chorus, the sort takes a softer approach with its anniversary touch-up. What was as a primal plea for more from a threatening romance right now feels like a reflection on a doomed, although enjoyable, cycle of love. Featuring a pulsing bassline, finger snaps, and also a touch of lead vocalist Tyler Glenn’s gripping, flamboyant flair, it’s just as much of a bop the second time around. —Carson Mlnarik

  Fletcher might be “Bitter,” however her latest track sounds like sweet, sweet revenge. It’s the latest in a string of catchy breakup bops from the 26-year-old dance-pop singer, whose honeyed vocals lend a saccharine touch to a tale of queer love turned sour (“Yeah, I know you think about me any time whenever you kiss her / I left a taste in your mouth / Can she taste me now?”).

No matter. We’re consuming food it up either way. —Sam Manzella

  D.C. Power-pop musical group Bad Moves have written a tremendously potent pre-chorus that really hits differently given our current state of isolation. “Maybe this all ends up fine / or perhaps it’s the end of time,” the tune goes. And then we’re off to the sunny power chords of resolution, a fuzzy solo, and then some refreshing resolution: “We’re still having a good time.” It comes complete with a glitchy DIY video that underscores the theme: how a bad connection might threaten an otherwise solid hang. —Patrick Hosken
