So many artists, so many songs, so little time. Each week we review a handful of new albums (of all genres), round up even more new music that we’d call “indie,” and talk about what metal is coming out. We post music news, track premieres, and more all day. We update a playlist weekly of some of our current favorite tracks. Here’s a daily roundup with a bunch of interesting, newly released songs in one place.

JOY OLADOKUN – “NAZARETH”
“For the better part of five years I’ve been on the road,” Joy Oladokun says. “From Hope, Alaska to Gulf Shores. From South Africa to Australia. From arenas to small clubs. I’ve gotten to see the best and the worst of the world and of myself. I started writing this song last year in a dressing room on tour with Hozier and I finished recording it in the back lounge of my tour bus as it raced across the US at the beginning of this year. I think at this moment in our world in culture—where transphobia, queerphobia, xenophobia, racism and classism flow down freely from the highest positions in our power structures—you can feel so many people looking for hope and safety in any place they can find it. I relate to that search deeply. This song is for anyone who is hoping the world is kinder and safer than it can appear to be at times. Releasing it as the world celebrates Easter seemed like the obvious choice.”
