Allie X, “Science”
The L.A. songwriter is making some of the weirdest alt-pop possible. The sinister “Science” is one of her best releases so far.

Loona, “Hi High”
My favorite K-Pop song I’ve heard this year probably — feels like love and a pound of dopamine.
14
Maluma, "Mala Mía"
A super sexy song from the Colombian singer that is begging to be replayed again and again.
15
Nina Nesbitt, "Loyal To Me"
Cheaters and shitty men beware. This song is an anthem waiting to inspire your loved ones.

Kota Banks, “Insomnia”
A banger from Australia that will keep you up at night.

Tessa Violet, “Crush”
C’mon supermarket bop!!!

Mallrat, “Groceries”
If you were emo in high school but only listen to pop now, this will be your jam.
19
LIZ, “Pandemonium”
This is what robots grind to at a basement party I think.

Camila Cabello f. Swae Lee, "Real Friends"
What should be Camila’s next monster hit. Swae Lee is really the next king of pop, too.
