The weekend is finally here. That means that it is once again time to sit back, relax and catch up on all the new music that has come out over the last week.

This week saw no shortage of new songs and music videos. Eminem started to roll out promotion for the surprise album he dropped last week with a brand new video. Dua Lipa and Sam Smith put out new pop/dance tunes, as did Korean pop dynamos BTS. In rock, Good Charlotte released a video for their latest single. We also got brand new songs from Hozier, as well as up-and-comers Stand Atlantic, Antarctigo Vespucci, Diamante and more.

Vinyl Bay 777, Long Island’s music outlet, loves new music. That’s why we’ve once again scoured the internet for this week’s best new songs and music videos. Here are five that we think will be the perfect additions to your weekend playlist.

1. Silk City / Dua Lipa, “Electricity”: Reminiscent of dance tracks from the early 1990s, “Electricity” is a straight up dance track perfect for the dance club scene. The song pairs Dua Lipa’s full-sounding vocals with a pulsing beat based around a distorted keyboard and synth-centered groove. There is a lot going on, but it seems to work well and will definitely make you want to get up and dance. (video)

2. Stand Atlantic, “Lavender Bones”: “Lavender Bones” charges ahead with aggressive guitars and a strong melodic structure. The song has an easily graspable hook that will get stuck in your head on repeat. Frontwoman Bonnie Fraser tackles the vocals effortlessly, bringing power and normalcy to lyrics that are fairly self-doubting. (video)

3. Lil Aaron / Kim Petras, “Anymore”: “Anymore” is an interesting song that blurs together genres that you wouldn’t necessarily think merge well. The verses of the song are structured like a rap track with very little instrumentation except for Aaron’s heavily auto-tuned vocal. However, his and Petras’ vocals fall much more within the lines of the characteristic pop-punk sound. Somehow this works together and the result is pretty captivating. (video)

4. Antarctigo Vespucci, “White Noise”: “White Noise” has this garage rock energy that easily picks up your attention and doesn’t let go for a full two minutes. Pace is kept by the 1–2 hit of the snare, which gets augmented by hand claps midway in, leading the simple, slightly fuzzy surf-rock guitar melody. The song then builds into this cacophony of noise before it comes back down for the final chorus and end. (video)

5. Diamante, “Bulletproof”: A powerful anthem for powerful women, “Bulletproof” finds Diamante telling off anyone that thinks they can get her down. Her voice, just like the heavy pop-punk instrumentation of the song, is gritty and solid, the perfect delivery for making such a stand. It’s a good song to get you pumped up and ready for anything.
