8 new songs you might've missed this week



Whether you're having a lazy Saturday or gearing up for "Sunday Funday," you'll want to give these overlooked new songs a spin:

Trap Queen (remix), Fetty Wap (feat. Azealia Banks, Quavo and Gucci Mane)


How do you make one of this year's biggest hits even better? Get one of the most skilled (and outspoken) rappers in the game to hop on your track for a remix. We're obviously talking about Azealia Banks here, whose confident verse flows effortlessly over Trap Queen's infectious beat. — Patrick Ryan

On to Something Good, Ashley Monroe


This feel-good country-soul throwback has us feeling like a little somethin' somethin', too. Monroe made a brilliant neo-honky-tonk record called Like a Rose that never found the audience it needed. But how can she miss with an irresistible summery song like this? — Brian Mansfield


California Roll, Snoop Dogg (feat. Stevie Wonder)


Pharrell Williams' influence is abundantly clear on the latest from Snoop's new album Bush (out Tuesday, and produced by Pharrell). Featuring Wonder on harmonica, keyboard and vocals, the hazy, chilled-out ode to medical marijuana is one of the rapper's strongest in years. — Ryan


The Unmaking, Nichole Nordeman


Nordeman may not have released an album in 10 years, but this comeback single shows she hasn't lost her tender way with a deftly worded lyric. When the world comes crashing down, this is the song to play amidst the rubble as the dust starts to settle, just before renewal begins. — Mansfield


Bang That, Disclosure


Arguably the most innovative guys in dance music today, the U.K. brother duo reinvents a little-known Detroit producer's decade-old track into a heavy, house banger. Between this and last year's

, we honestly can't wait to see where they take their sophomore album, expected out later this year. — Ryan

Songs I Can't Listen To, Neon Trees


Worst playlist ever — all the songs you associated with your ex. On the plus side, this new single from Utah's Neon Trees gives you an ultra-catchy reason to start building a new one. — Mansfield


Slow Burn, Made in Heights


The L.A.-based electropop duo returns with another dreamy cut off upcoming album Without My Enemy What Would I Do (out May 26) — this one, a downtempo confession of desire. Singer Kelsey Bulkin's hook is simple yet haunting, while Sabzi's effectively minimal production sparkles. — Ryan

High Roller, Sugar + the Hi-Lows


The latest from this Nashville duo gives of just the kind of vintage rock 'n' soul vibe you want to hear when you feel like beating the house in Vegas. – Mansfield
