New Music Friday: December 10, 2021

Happy New Music Friday! This week is a great one with new tracks from Alicia Keys, Andy Grammer, Mitski and more. See the full guide below!

“Old Memories (Originals)” – Alicia Keys
Alicia Keys is back with her new album KEYS which dropped today. This track is a standout with the vintage style and her powerhouse vocal carrying the track throughout.
“Love Myself” – Andy Grammer
Pop singer-songwriter veteran Andy Grammer has dropped a track that’s a bit heavier in nature but still offers an upbeat approach that will still get people moving.

“Heat Lightning” – Mitski
A haunting song that you won’t forget. It’s deep and soulful thanks to its dreamy vibe and Mitski’s vocal really brings it home.
“Seventeen Going Under (Acoustic)” – Sam Fender & Holly Humberstone
A new take on this coming-of-age track is only made even more earnest with the stripped acoustic version. These two artists’ vocals are able to truly shine in this version making it even better than the original.
“SIDEWAYS” – Jack Kays & Travis Barker
Pop-punk perfection. This track is high-energy and high-spirited and Travis Barker’s cameo carries the hard-hitting beat of this track, making it fun and infectious.

“THREE STRIKES (feat. Khalid)” – HONNE
An EDM-infused song that still features chill vibes that match Khalid’s vocals perfectly. It’s catchy and will be the perfect addition to any chill night in playlist.
“Stay Down (feat. Yung Bleu)” – Ne-Yo
A smooth and danceable track that will be sure to please. It’s an R&B dream that showcases Ne-Yo’s killer vocal and Yung Bleu’s verse only takes it that much higher.
“New Romance” – Beach House
A whimsical track that has a slow build that morphs to an explosive chorus. The track is unique and one of the most fun songs on this list.

“Bluffing” – midwxst
A simple beat but a catchy sound that will get any listener hooked. This track talks of trying to let your guard down and let someone in, but being burned by people in the process.
“It Was A…(Masked Christmas) [feat. Ariana Grande & Megan Thee Stallion]” – Jimmy Fallon
If you’re looking for a fresh Christmas tune, look no further. This track, penned by late-night show host, Jimmy Fallon is brought to life with his own verses but taken even higher with the additions of music superstars Ariana Grande & Megan Thee Stallion.
