Billie Eilish, Prince, Clairo and more

Hot vaxx summer is in full swing, so it’s no surprise that many people are turning to party music to make the soundtrack for sweltering days and windy nights. (If you’ve heard any old school Madonna or Jay-Z blowing up car speakers these days, trust us, you’re far from alone.) And there’s a slew of new releases out there for you. Satisfy Your Desire for New Music in the Month of July: Whether you’re looking to record Pop Smoke jams, indulge in the hyper-caffeinated punk rock explosion of longtime devotees The Descendants, or just soak up some your feelings with the indie synth pop of Half Waif, the next 30 days have you covered. (And get those tunes while you can, because by the end of the month, Billie Eilish will be arriving to trample absolutely everything else on radio and streaming services with one of the most anticipated records of the year. .)
