It’s impossible to be across all the new music<\/a> out each Friday. Luckily, PAPER<\/em> is here to help you out: each week, we round up 10 of our favorite new songs from artists \u2014 emerging and established \u2014 to soundtrack your life. From the surreal to the sublime, these songs cover every corner of the music world. The only criteria: they all have to absolutely rip.<\/p>\n Subscribe to our Sound Off Spotify playlist here<\/a> and check out this week’s tracks, below.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cNo Front Teeth,\u201d a rollicking, ridiculous highlight from the first half of Perfume Genius\u2019s great new album Glory<\/em>, almost feels like a parody of a rock song: Its FULL ROCK sections just absolutely go for it, in a way that made me laugh on my first few listens. It\u2019s an unexpected song for both artists, which is part of what makes it so fun \u2014 a feeling magnified by the track\u2019s incredible video, a violent, surreal, orgiastic dream sequence that sets a high bar for any other clips set for release this year. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n JENNIE dips back into her BLACKPINK-era trap mode on the latest single from her new album, which gets a frantic Jersey club boost courtesy of recent Grammy queen Doechii. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Another Jersey club track! This time a ballad, from Tate McRae\u2019s third album; the high-pressure beat adds a nice twist to her usual sound.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I won\u2019t stand for Benny Blanco hate on this column or the internet. This peppy new cut from his and Selena\u2019s new collab album, with an assist from Gracie Abrams, is sneakily catchy. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Totally strange combination that, I can\u2019t lie, doesn\u2019t always totally work. But you have to adapt in an ever-shifting marketplace of ideas, and you have to give Don credit for that. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The opening track from Saya Gray\u2019s new album SAYA<\/em> is a serene country track that builds into churning indie-pop, a strong display of her ability to meld genres. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Suki enters her Ultraviolence<\/em> era on this gauzy, tar-soaked new new one. It\u2019s a welcome change of pace after the vintage-y indie pop of her last record, and ends with a killer maelstrom of a finale. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A sonic outlier on her new album Bloodless, \u201cLizard\u201d finds Samia getting back into the synth-pop groove she briefly established on \u201cMad At Me\u201d. Like that song, it\u2019s a song whose delightful atmosphere belies prickly lyrics. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Blondshell\u2019s latest is a delicate, ’90s-leaning indie-folk track with a punchy, insistent chorus. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Yung Lean goes Jeff Lynne mode on this spangly synth-pop track, which is peppy but severely emotional. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nSong of the Week: Perfume Genius and Aldous Harding – “No Front Teeth”<\/h3>\n
