10 songs you need in your life this week

Cardi B introduces us to "Heartbreak Bardi" in her new is-it-summer-yet jam, which finds the rapper sharing vulnerability and flashing a cold-edge ruthlessness.

Kaytranada's newest is the groove-filled "Do We Have A Problem" demo, a smooth little ditty full of twinkling bells, harmonica, and an intoxicating, jazzy undercurrent.

Nicole Dollanganger's "Tammy Faye" is dark and alluring, a spine-tingling triumph of buttery soft vocals, sparse guitar, and tragically unhinged lyrics: "But I’m just a crazy bitch / Crying in the kitchen to Tammy Wynette."

Backstory aside, The Weeknd's "Wasted Times" is a really good song! His inimitable voice swirls dizzyingly above a slinky beat, like a wisp of smoke in a crowded room.

The warmth with which Ashley McBryde sings about a treasured jean jacket — one that was tragically stolen from her — is enough to make you miss it, too.

There are many beautiful tracks on Snoop Dogg's gospel offering Bible of Love. We chose "Going Home" because, amazingly, with Uncle Chucc & The Zion Messengers's help, he makes death sound like a homecoming worthy of anticipation.

Lizzo has only further cemented herself as our body-positive queen with her latest, "Fitness." The video is sweaty, sass-filled slayage that you must watch.

Shawn Mendes is really sweet, shy, and smitten on "Lost In Japan." It's the kind of romantic pop song that I spent my tween years wishing someone would sing to me.

Ryan Pollie's newest, "Blackout," is a low-key rock track that captures the messy (and utterly relatable) experience of going out, forgetting what happened, and having to carefully retrace your steps.

Hearing Empath's eccentric-sounding "The Eye" for the first time is like pressing your ear to the wall of a neighboring house party, desperate to get in on the fun, and then deciding that jumping around crazily alone works, too.
