The Afterglows, 'Sea of Hate'

You can almost hear a sly grin as The Afterglows' sea of hate swells with piano, hand claps and a reverb-heavy guitar solo, undercutting that misty-eyed sweetness with a slight sneer.

Leon Bridges and Khruangbin, 'Doris'

The two Lone Star State artists join forces once again on the EP Texas Moon, which begins with a slow and heavy song that breathes sensuality (with an emphasis on the "B" in R&B).

Maude Latour, 'Headphones'

Maude Latour says she's sick of love songs, so the indie-pop singer wrote something that focuses on herself and nobody else.

Curtis Stigers, 'I Wonder Why'

"I Wonder Why" made Stigers a star all the way back in 1991. Now, he revisits it from the perspective of a fiftysomething who's learned how to best harness his own talents.

Jazmine Sullivan, 'Hurt Me So Good'

A bonus Heaux Tales track, "Hurt Me So Good" narrates the perils of staying in a relationship bad enough to make you question your worth but just good enough to make you stay despite the drama.

Jean Rondeau, 'Aria'

Hear the French harpsichordist's monument to silence in a luminous and expansive performance from Bach's Goldberg Variations.
