Best new music - May 31, 2015

I would love to have a monthly best of playlist. Not this month, of course, because I've started doing playlists on the 18th, but as a general rule.

There is nothing like waking up and listening to music in the bed. It's just great.

As you've probably noticed, I listen to a lot of music. Most of it is, well, not great. One percent of it is what you see in this blog. Then there's the occasional outlier that makes my jaw drop. The Hills by The Weeknd is an outlier. It's just a great song. Enjoy listening to it, and eleven other pretty cool tracks.

I'm still listening to the new A$ap Rocky album, it's brilliant. The world was kind enough to stop for me: there's no big release in today's playlist. There are, however, neat little bands that are definitely good enough to make a name for themselves.

Well, it's time for the big names, at last. A$ap Rocky's new album was leaked, which prompted him to release it one week early - so, there it is.

It's really, really, really hard to repeat a global success. That's why we should be very lenient with Icona Pop - if they merely release a nice, catchy pop song like Emergency instead of a headsmashing anthem. Love to hear new solo material from Adam Lambert after his exceptional run with Queen. Oh, Burzum released a new song but it makes no sense, so it's not in this playlist.

The cool thing about days without many major releases is that there's more chance to discover cool music from small bands. With a library like Spotify, it's easy to get lost, and good music is not immune to drowning.

If you're selling a cd, it makes sense to have the same release date as other big artists - that way, you're sure that people will go to the store and see your album. If you're launching a promotional single online, the opposite applies: you want the public's undivided attention.

Back to our regular, hour-long playlist. I really like this format, but of course it depends on how much great music comes out on a given day. I don't pick, like, the 20 best or anything like that. I have a threshold, and anything worse than that does not make the cut. As you can see, it's about 98% of all releases.

I swear, these are not getting shorter! I just had an off day full of craziness. It all worked out pretty well, but I only had time to listen to a bunch of stuff.

My personal selection of the best songs that came out on May 20, 2015. I might have missed something, since I'm still playing around with the format - let me know, anyway. Enjoy!

My personal selection of the best songs that came out on May 19, 2015. I have tried to make sure they all came out yesterday, but I might have missed something. Enjoy.
