<\/p>\n

It’s impossible to be across all the new music<\/a> out each Friday. Luckily, PAPER<\/em> is here to help you out: each week, we round up 10 of our favorite new songs from artists \u2014 emerging and established \u2014 to soundtrack your life. From the surreal to the sublime, these songs cover every corner of the music world. The only criteria: they all have to absolutely rip.<\/p>\n

Subscribe to our Sound Off Spotify playlist here<\/a> and check out this week’s tracks, below.<\/p>\n

Song of the Week: Clipse – “Ace Trumpets”<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Just like no time passed at all, Clipse are back, produced immaculately by Pharrell Williams. Do I like the line \u201cYellow diamonds look like pee pee?\u201d No, of course I don\u2019t. But Pusha and Malice are still sharper and more charismatic than most. \u201cAce Trumpets\u201d is a welcome harbinger for the duo\u2019s new album, due in July. <\/p>\n

Addison Rae – “Fame Is A Gun”<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Another immaculate single from Addison Rae; anticipation for her debut album Addison<\/em>, out next week, is officially at fever pitch. Shades of Goldfrapp and Eurythmics hover around this song, but its verbose, slightly silly lyrics are pure Addison. <\/p>\n

New York – “think of you”<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

New York return to the pulsating electroclash of their debut record on this discordant, sultry club track. <\/p>\n

Alex G – “Afterlife”<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

If \u201cRunner\u201d was Alex G\u2019s classic rock song, maybe this is his take on yacht rock \u2014 all easy breezy with a broken heart. <\/p>\n

HAIM – “Take Me Back”<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Twee is so in right now! Is this a recession indicator? I think this probably isn\u2019t the only glockenspiel we\u2019ll be hearing this year. <\/p>\n

Miley Cyrus – “Easy Lover”<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Miley\u2019s \u201cindie album\u201d isn\u2019t entirely that \u2013 as \u201cEasy Lover\u201d suggests, there\u2019s plenty of old-school soul and R&B influence in there too. <\/p>\n

Tops – “Chlorine”<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Slinky, glamorous, a little heartbroken \u2013 it\u2019s vintage Tops, a fantastic omen for their forthcoming album Bury The Key. <\/p>\n

Silvana Estrada – “Como Un P\u00e1jaro”<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

An unbelievably gorgeous showcase for Mexican musician Silvana Estrada\u2019s rich, clarion voice.<\/p>\n

Ovkast, Vince Staples – “Strange Ways”<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

When this guy\u2019s PR emails me, I always think I\u2019m being emailed about the famous duo Outkast, because that\u2019s how it looks in text. But the Oakland rapper\u2019s new track is a heater, a fusion of hype-up rap and mellow jazz that surprisingly works. <\/p>\n

Laundry Day – “She Knows Me”<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

I think these guys are charming and hilarious, and while I can\u2019t totally vibe with this Jason Mraz core, I support them as people. <\/p>\n
