In the constantly evolving world of music, sorting through the ocean of new releases can feel like a daunting task. At Pitchfork, our dedicated team of writers, editors, and contributors dives headfirst into this sonic sea, sifting through piles of new tunes every week to bring you the crème de la crème. Every Monday, we unveil our Pitchfork Selects playlist, a collection that’s less about chart positions and more about what we can’t stop playing on repeat—and what you’d be eager to share with your friends.
This week’s highlights are a treasure trove of genre-spanning sounds, showcasing the myriad of talents defining today’s music landscape. From reigning queen Lana Del Rey to boundary-pushing newcomers, our playlist is a must-listen for anyone looking to elevate their week.
Kicking things off with Lana Del Rey’s “Henry, Come On,” a track that balances melancholy and nostalgia, captures the unmistakable essence of love lost. With her haunting vocals drawing you into a vividly painted emotional landscape, this song is a testament to Del Rey’s lyrical prowess and artistic vision.
Next up, Zanders delivers a punchy cut with “Jean,” where infectious beats meet introspective lyrics—a perfect blend for those longing for something catchy yet profound. Adding to the mix, Morgan Nagler’s “Orange Wine” serves up a psychedelic groove that invites listeners to drift into a daydream, layered with lush instrumentation that feels both refreshing and familiar.
Mike Huguenor’s “What Do I Do Now?” adds a touch of indie rock rebellion to the playlist, while Tennis’ “12 Blown Tires” conjures a breezy summer vibe complete with echoes of classic pop. In contrast, Kokoroko’s “Sweetie” brings a vibrant burst of energy that showcases the London-based collective’s ability to weave jazz elements into infectious rhythms.
For those craving heavier sounds, Turnstile’s “Never Enough” is a hard-hitting anthem that exemplifies their knack for fusing hardcore with melodic elements, making it unmissable for fans of the genre. Meanwhile, Smerz’s “Roll the Dice” envelops listeners in an experimental soundscape that plays with textures and rhythms, while Sherelle and George Riley team up for “Freaky (Just My Type),” merging bass-heavy beats with dynamic vocal interplay that demands attention.
Rounding out the playlist are Devstacks with “1of1,” a catchy earworm that holds strong commercial appeal, and Ken Carson’s “LiveLeak,” which offers a mesmerizing blend of trap and experimental sounds. PinkPantheress continues to astound with “Tonight,” a track that deeply resonates with themes of love and loss, delivered with her signature blend of R&B and electronic flair.
Lastly, newcomers Bbymutha and Baby Osama add a fierce finish to our playlist with “Dickeaterrr” and “Double D’s,” respectively, each bringing their unique styles to the fore and showing why they’re ones to watch in the music scene.
