New Music

For this month's edition of Heavy Rotation, stations selected songs that their listeners couldn't get enough of during the first half of the year.

The new album preserves Florence Welch's big, torrential melodrama, but it feels less like a storm than the soft light breaking in afterward.

This week's best new albums includes Drake's highly-anticipated double album, Scorpion, Florence and the Machine's High as Hope, previously unheard music from jazz legend John Coltrane and much more.

The 10-minute recording, from a new box set, finds Axl Rose alone at a piano, banging out the bones of what would become one of his biggest hits five years later.

The long-running band's first single in four years mixes exuberant guitar-fuzz with a danceable ennui.

We laugh, we cry, we celebrate the best of the year so far with everything from bugalú to boleros to Latinx punk.

Ahead of the band's 50th anniversary and America's birthday, Creedence's new video is, like the hit song it honors, a paean to the people.

The West Virginia-based band's new single, "Mars," will bring you back to the days of Bill Clinton and MTV's 120 Minutes.

Kacey Musgraves may have the breakup ballad of 2018, but "Space Cowboy" has solid sobbing company. This summer, lean into the dark stuff while sipping the pink stuff.

The Alabama soul band teases a forthcoming album with a refreshing and surprisingly restrained slice of sly summer funk.

Natti Natasha goes back to her Dominican roots with a bachata hit, Concha Buika reinvents her sound once again, and Nacho and Ozuna's "Casualidad" is anything but.

A great power-pop song has one foot in happy-go-lucky hooks and another stomping a triumphant riff. D.C.'s Saturday Night lives in that space.
