Take a Break From Taylor Swift’s 1989 With This Week’s Playlist


Drake - How About Now

Cash Money Records



Full disclosure: We’ve spent much of the past week listening to Taylor Swift— 1989 and beyond. (Saturday Night Live was on to something: It’s impossible not to freakin’ love her.) But now that she’s absconded from Spotify, there’s less of her to go around. Deprived of the Human Embodiment of Bedroom Singing, we went searching for new music and found—lo and behold!—we’d missed some great new stuff. Producer (and Yeezus collaborator) Arca’s new record drops this week so we’ve got his track “Thievery” on repeat. Drake had a birthday a few days back—there’s a reason his outfit is called “October’s Very Own”—and dropped a bunch of new tracks. We even got a cut from “two shitty drag queens, a 303 and a drummer“! (They’re known as Bottoms, in case you were wondering.)


As usual, we’ve added the tracks to our ongoing Spotify playlist of great new music, and created a standalone playlist (below). Keep the recommendations coming.


The tracks:


Arca, “Thievery”

Grimes, “Go (feat. Blood Diamonds)”

Bottoms, “Boring”

Snoh, “Bad Things (Remix feat. Killer Mike)”

The Coathangers, “Sex Beat”

Jessie Ware, “Pieces”

Drake, “How About Now”

Mourn, “Silver Gold”

Jeezy, “Link Up (feat. Beenie Man and Ty Dolla $ign)”

CFCF, “Night Bus”
