5 new releases we love: A pop visionary’s reprise, a flamenco summer jam, and more
Music Features A-Sides
Cardi B, “Press”
[Warner Music Group, May 30]
A song like “Press” from just about any other artist would likely register as boastful theatrics. But from Cardi B, it’s a viable warning shot, backed by a technicolor life that has played in various forms of media for years. Every high-octane bar can be easily paired with a majorly publicized, heavily scrutinized moment that has informed her raw attitude. It’s no wonder why the Grammy-winning rapper chose to release the song the same day she was due in court, aside from the stroke of PR brilliance: It would be another moment that would ultimately invite the kind of judgment that has caused people to underestimate her. If “Press” is indicative of anything, it’s that Cardi B’s staying power supersedes negative attention—and it’s effective enough for us to ignore the heaps of irony long enough to praise it. [Shannon Miller]
Roísín Murphy, “Incapable”
[Warner Music Group, June 4]
It’s been three years since Roísín Murphy’s last full-length, the great, eclectic Take Her Up To Monto, but the Irish singer-songwriter (and all-around multi-hyphenate) has been far from inactive. In fact, she put out some of last year’s most memorable grooves via four Maurice Fulton-produced 12-inch singles (“Plaything”/“Like” was a particular favorite). And this week she returned to the dance floor with the stunning DJ Parrot collab “Incapable,” a panoramic house cut that takes you so deep, eight minutes isn’t nearly long enough to climb back out. Murphy gives a beguiling performance, delivering soulful glints of Dusty and Chaka among the stone-cold detachment of someone who’s “Never had a broken heart… might be incapable of love.” More than singing, she has a way of hosting tracks like these, drawing you in, giving you a 360-degree tour of its interior, then leaving plenty of room for you to explore on your own.

The New Sleater Kinney is also very good
Rock music??? How jejune. /s (obviously, hopefully)
You have the temerity to say that I am talking to you out of jejune-osity?
Sleater-Kinney is so last week.
Saw Rosalia a few weeks back and she was absolutely wild. One of my favorite new pop stars, bar none.
Thank the fucking GODS for this incandescent Jai Paul release
Tim Heidecker released an album, for those who want to know what it’s like to hear your dad’s rock band on record.
Does he do a cover of “Mustang Sally”?
Enjoying the paradise-garage-fumes of the new Daphni single. Has Dan Snaith ever done wrong? No. No he hasn’t.These new Bleached singles have surprised me, as they’ve morphed into syrup-funk popsters, but feel that heat! Summer is coming!Vanishing Twin have a new lp and it’s great! Highly recommended if you dig Broadcast/Psych/Global-type jams. This might be album of the week?Lots of crunchy peanut butter beats on the new Deantoni Parks.Definitely enjoying the new Rosalía, and Kool Keith keeps dropping singles that have moved my needle more than he has in a long time. Going to dig into the new Stef Chura album and probably play they Erykah Badu Squeeze cover 15 more times tonight. Also MAN that City Pop compilation on Light in the Attic has remained at the top of my list for weeks! I’ll be a good sport / Be a good sport / Be a Sportsman <3<3<3
the 2 new jai paul songs are so incredibly good. and rediscovering his leaked album now with slightly less guilt is wonderful too. also do you love her now is a little better than he imho.
agreed “Do You Love Her Now” is the better one but it’s a fire single. also if I recall right they’re not technically ‘new’ as the article suggests, just leftovers from the album’s recording sessions that he polished up for single release, but god do they sound fresh
New Black Mountain is really fucking good.
“Are you a pirate?”“Pirates are in this year!”

A song like “Press” from just about any other artist would likely rightly register as boastful theatrics gutter trash. But from Cardi B, it’s a viable warning shot… for some reason.Just fixing some typos.
