The Best Songs of April 2023 // New Music Friday!
"Never Felt So Alone" // Labrinth & Billie Eilish
Labrinth's new song, "Never Felt So Alone" was previewed in the second season of Euphoria and was now officially released as a single leading up to his newest album. It also has an uncredited Billie Eilish feature, which made such a powerful addition to the second half of the song. Labrinth and Billie are both immensely talented and creative geniuses when it comes to their music innovations, so this collaboration is the perfect match. I also loved their Coachella performance, the live version elevated all of the emotions of this song to a new level - Billie's vocals were particularly some of the best I have ever heard from her.
"Chemical" // Post Malone
I always love hearing Post Malone's growth and evolution as an artist, "Chemical" is an upbeat pop song that I can see being a big hit this summer. His vocals are so strong and the chorus is infectious. It reminds me of some of Justin Bieber's best songs from Justice, which makes sense since Andrew Watt and Louis Bell collaborated on both projects with them. I love the new direction he has been going in recently!
"Born With A Broken Heart" // Olivia O'Brien
For her first song as a newly independent artist, Olivia O'Brien released a powerful and vulnerable ballad called "Born With A Broken Heart". I have loved her music since the early days of her career and this is truly one of her best songs yet. I'm excited to see what she has in store for the future because this feels like the start of a new artistic era for her!
"Rainbow" // JesseⓇ
"Mermaids" // Florence + The Machine
"The Alcott" // The National & Taylor Swift
"Eat The Acid" // Kesha
"Bad Omens (Live at The Royal Albert Hall)" // 5 Seconds of Summer
5 Seconds of Summer's latest live album, recorded live at Royal Albert Hall last year, perfectly captures how incredible and high-energy their concerts are. I have always been blown away by how amazing they are as a live band and this entire album encapsulates the magic of their shows perfectly. I'm seeing them this summer in New York City for the fifth time and I can't wait to hear so many of their newest songs and old favorites at the upcoming show! "Bad Omens" is one of my favorite songs from their latest album, 5SOS5, and this live version is even better. If you haven't seen 5SOS in concert yet, listen to this album to get a glimpse into how electric their shows are!
