Welcome to Songs You Need to Know<\/a>, our weekly rundown of the best music right now. The Rolling Stone Philippines<\/em> team is constantly sharing things to listen to, and each week, we compile a ragtag playlist of songs that we believe every music fan today needs to know. Whether it\u2019s the hottest new single or an old track that captures the state of the present, our hope is that you discover something for your musical canon.\u00a0<\/p>\n This week\u2019s songs move back and forth between the past and the future, sometimes within the same track. There\u2019s the surprise of covering her grandfather\u2019s soft-rock song for longtime fans, and a Filipino-British rapper soaking in the heat of a Los Angeles summer. Art-pop trio NEW LORE<\/a> mourns a \u201csubstack girl,\u201d while Chinese Garden<\/a> lingers around the idea of a sari-sari store to tell their own stories in the present day. With the week of love approaching, these songs arrive at the right moment, offering a fitting soundtrack for those counting down to the biggest day for lovers everywhere.<\/p>\n
