I’ve probably listened to this song at least 15 times since it was released so it’s definitely my favorite of the week. Billie’s debut is out on March 29. It seems like she’s been sporadically releasing singles for SO long and I’m curious to hear what a full length release sounds like from her.

“Ready To Let Go” – Cage The Elephant

Crazy to think that this is Cages’ first new release since 2017. I didn’t realize how much I liked their music ’til I was sitting around wondering when new music was coming…the amount of artists I love that are releasing new albums this year is surreal. CTE’s next album comes out on April 19.

“La Vie En Rose” – Lucy Dacus
Release Date – January 31

Holy crap, I love this cover so much. It’s so beautifully done and I’m really excited that Lucy’s going to continue to release more covers this year. She’s playing two shows in Chicago w/ Sharon Van Etten on Feb. 14 and 15 (Valentine’s Day) so if I end up going, I really really hope she plays this song. “La Vie En Rose” = “Life In Pink.”

“Easy Way Out” – LEISURE
Release Date – February 1

“Fast Lovers” – Lemaitre
Release Date – February 1

This song is so sonically interesting and has really neat production choices that it stuck in my head after the first time I heard it. Not many songs do that for me after just one listen so this one definitely deserved to be included in my top 5 of the week.

“You And I” – Léon
Release Date – February 1

I’ve been writing Léon for YEARS and every song she releases is better than the last. This song came with a tour announcement and debut album release date (March 1st) so I know there are even better songs coming. I can’t wait.
