We may be hitting Adele burnout. Her single “Hello” has already reached 130 million plays on YouTube. But if tear-jerkers aren’t your thing, here are a few hot new non-Adele tracks.
Justin Bieber — “Sorry”
The former enfant terrible is on a hot streak right now, and the triumphant dance pop of his latest single suggests that it’s not ending any time soon.
Chance the Rapper — “Angels”
Chicago’s up-and-coming rapper revealed the vibrant, gospel-influenced “Angels” on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” this week, and its positive vibes will reverberate for months to come.
Blood Orange — “Sandra’s Smile”
Like how the Weeknd sounds like Michael Jackson, but can’t stomach the seediness? Try Blood Orange (a k a former Solange Knowles collaborator Dev Hynes), who adds a modern, jittery spin to ’80s R&B with his thought-provoking new track.
Gwen Stefani — “Used To Love You”
Her first single release since splitting with Gavin Rossdale reveals Gwen in confessional mode. It’s no coincidence that her honesty has produced the No Doubt singer’s best track in years.
