At the very least, this year has brought us a host of great new tracks. With some already claiming the status of instant classics, here are five bops you don't want to miss.

Dua Lipa — Future Nostalgia

Since 2017, Dua Lipa has systematically produced at least one major single per year. Released last March, the English songstress cleared yet another hit hurdle with Future Nostalgia. Where she finds the time, we'll never know — between collaborations with Diplo, Mark Ronson, Angèle; acting as muse for Saint Laurent; and systematically turning out mind-blowing tunes, she owes as much to pop as to the icons of her adolescence, Madonna and Blondie. With an efficient, dynamic musical sensibility, her versatility has allowed different DJ's — Moodymann, Dimitri from Paris, The Blessed Madonna — to appropriate her tunes and turn them into club hits, culminating in a second installment of the album: Club Future Nostalgia (DJ Mix).

Chloe x Halle — Ungodly Hour

On this second disc, the Bailey sisters are no longer trying to fill Beyoncé's shoes. Here, they've fully come into their own: with a strong presence, a style all their own blending R&B and Caribbean, and a sharp sense of movement, and production by Scott Storch, Disclosure, Mike WiLL, Made-It, and themselves. Not that we needed further proof, but Chloe x Halle are consistently overflowing with exciting ideas, putting a new spin on the 90s and turning them towards the future.

Tame Impala — The Slow Rush

Kevin Parker isn't just the rap community's favorite strummer. Aside from his collabs with stars like Travis Scott and Rihanna, he's also known as the front man of Tame Impala — the brains of this iconic indie group from the 2010s that remains just as unpredictable now as they were then. For these Australians, freedom has an aftertaste of pop, synth melodies, and echoing refrains that from "Borderline" to "Breathe Deeper" never fail to get us on our feet.

Yaeji — What We Drew

Some artists find their formula and stick to it. Others, like Yaeji, seem totally uninterested in staying too long in the same place. As it happens, this songstress splits her time between New York and Seoul, producing and DJing, and her affection is evenly shared between house and cloud rap. This is how What We Drew, her first full-length album, remains entirely unexpected, inhabited by a force that can bring down barriers — especially the ones that might box this up-and-comer in.
