There’s so much music coming out all the time that it’s hard to keep track. On those days when the influx of new tracks is particularly overwhelming, we sift through the noise to bring you a curated list of the most interesting new releases (the best of which will be added to our Best New Songs playlist). Below, check out our track roundup for Wednesday, May 27, 2026.
Ariana Grande – ‘Hate That I Made You Love Me’
The first glimpse of Ariana Grande’s petals is here. The mid-tempo ‘Hate That I Made You Love Me’, co-written with Ilya and Max Martin, is coloured by bubbly production as Grande sinks into her lower register. On Instagram, she called it “one of my favorite songs i’ll ever give to you.”
Cara Delevingne – ‘I Forgot’ and ‘Out of my Head’
Cara Delevingne has launched her musical project with ‘I Forgot’ and ‘Out of my Head’, a one-two punch of vulnerability and abrasion. The tracks come paired with a short film directed by Emmy-winner Jessica Lee Gagné (Severance). If the vocal processing and distortion sounds familiar, it might have something to do with the songs being co-produced by BJ Burton, known for his boundary-pushing work with Low and Bon Iver. “Music was always that dream I had, but never believed I would get the opportunity to create,” Delevingne shared. “Writing ‘I Forgot’ felt like a rebirth for me and ‘Out of my Head’ was like going to therapy. Everything has felt like it’s led up to this point and I can’t wait for everyone to experience it.”
Syd – ‘Callin’
Syd’s first album in four years is on the way. Beard is led by the pillowy ‘Callin’, which features Florida duo Blu June. “Beard is a coming of age album for me,” Syd reflected. “It’s a snapshot of what my life looks like right now. The title was inspired by the peach fuzz on my upper lip that society has always taught me to hate. I fell in love with my peach fuzz and it made me rethink everything that was supposed to make me feel insecure. It allowed me to take my confidence into my own hands, and own everything that I am and everything I love about myself, regardless of what anyone else thinks.”
Blood Orange – ‘Essex_Honey.mp3’
Last year, Blood Orange released his most recent album Essex Honey, and his first single of 2026 is titled ‘Essex_Honey.mp3’. Though it’s in line with that album’s pensive, bleary palette, it’s not a remix of any of its tracks, instead sampling Sky Ferreira’s ‘Everything Is Embarrassing’, a kind of subtle reminder that he produced the song.
Willow – ‘Talk on the Hill’
WIllow released her most recent album, petal rock black, back in February. Well, she’s already announcing the next one: The Thread is out July 24, and its lead single, the wispy, vibrant ‘Talk on the Hill’ is out now. The track was inspired by the work of filmmaker and podcast creator Ky Dickens and researcher Dr. Diane Hennacy Powell. “I want to thank Dr. Diane Hennacy Powell and Ky Dickens for their extraordinary bravery in studying and documenting the quiet teachers whose gifts stand at the threshold of mysteries our culture has barely begun to contemplate,” Willow commented.
Skrillex – ‘Thistle’ [feat. Blawan, Randomer, and MC Dricka]
Skrillex’s latest offering is a collaboration with Blawan, Randomer, and MC Dricka called ‘Thistle’. It arrives ahead of his performance at Primavera Sound Barcelona next Friday, where I’m hoping to hear it live.
Sublime – ‘Gangstalker’
“‘Gangstalker’ is pure chaos,” Sublime frontman Jakob Nowell said about the latest single from the band’s upcoming album Until the Sun Explodes. “I was so proud when the drum and guitar parts came together the way that they did in the studio. Sometimes you have this idea for how a song should sound in your head and it becomes impossible to translate that into reality. ‘Gangstalker’ is not one of those songs. It is a frenetic, California tweaker, punk anthem that I fully endorse with my life.”
070 Shake – ‘Baby Driver’
070 Shake has dropped a new song, ‘Baby Driver’, in partnership with the battle royale video game PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS. Though characteristically hypnotic, it boasts a pretty anthemic chorus: “There’s nothing more we could get out of here.”
Bb trickz – ‘A La Mala’
Bb trickz samples the Cardigans’ ‘My Favourite Game’ on her latest single, ‘A La Mala’. It arrives on the heels of the Spanish rising star’s debut Coachella performance.
