This week’s pick of the best new songs features heart-on-sleeve lyrics from young Texan rapper Kevin Abstract, metal-clanging percussion from Bonzai, and a Madonna-recalling remix of Shura’s “Nothing’s Real”. There are also two tracks – a twisted Beyoncé edit by club experimentalist Lotic, and a new blast by Run The Jewels – that were both released in the aftermath of Donald Trump’s election and that, in their own way, comment on this strange, scary new chapter in America’s history. Finally, there’s some long, meditative house music from Mr. Tophat featuring none other than leftfield pop star Robyn.

Listen to the playlist below.
