5 Songs Our Critic Loves Proper Now
The music critic Jon Caramanica recommends some current tracks from his driver’s seat, in a lightning-round version of his weekly track evaluations.

Right here’s 5 current songs you might need missed. Get in. Let’s discuss it. “Trinidad” by Geese. That is that Freakazoid, new American, post-Roots music. You may know the Geese frontman Cameron Winter, or as I name him, Neil Youthful. “Bare” by 41, that includes A Boogie Wit da Hoodie. A dour, pop drill, R&B love track about that horrible feeling of vacancy after you allow somebody. “Badman Gangsta” by Asake & Tiakola. Extremely soothing and calming, robust speak anthem from Nigerian star Asake, who made my primary album of 2023 and Tiakola, a wonderful French singer and rapper. “My Automobile Is Singing Like a Locust” by They Are Gutting a Physique of Water. This can be a actually, actually good Philadelphia band, pumped up shoegaze with all these buried chants in it. “Splitsville” by Zach Prime. We’re within the early phases of what seems like an enormous ‘90s revival in mainstream nation. Zach Prime is on the forefront of that. “Splitsville” seems like a lonely anthem from 1992 about that area that you just share with all people round you who’s simply going via heartbreak.
