Dua Lipa, Bad Bunny, Ski Mask, Kylie and More in Fri 5, the Best Songs of the Week
Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorNot surprisingly, Taylor Swift’s excellent surprise album has huffed up most of the oxygen on this mid-summer day — and Kanye West’s album will probably do the same, whenever he actually finishes it — but that’s all we’re going to say about them because this week saw an absolute avalanche of great new songs — and even two new songs by the Avalanches.It was a very difficult week to narrow the list down to five, so with a shout-out to the runners up — songs by Reese LaFlare, Ricky Reed, Queen Naija, Kingdom, Samia, LP, Sylvan Esso and especially Lupe Fiasco’s hilarious “Dinosaurs” were all on the shortlist, and you can find most of them on this week’s Spotify’s New Release Friday playlist.
