It's been a while but your favourite guide to New Music Friday is back. So sit back, relax and read about the stuff you should most definitely avoid and the absolute bangers that will shape your weekend.
Worst
Kris Kross Amsterdam x The Boy Next Door - Whenever Feat. Conor Maynard
Remember Shakira's 'Whenever'? Well, now you get the chance to relive it with Conor Maynard. Honestly, this tune is so bad it's funny. We seriously thought tropical house was dead but no, it somehow lives on and the most annoying fella in music is holding it's dying flame. How Conor Maynard is still going is a mystery, his irritating vocal is enough to drive anyone to madness. Leave this one out.
Yxng Bane - Both Sides
Generic rap beat? Check. Mumbled autotune? Check. Inaudible lyrics? Check. It's time this type of music disappeared. It's awfully lazy, melodically sparse and horrendously drab and Yxng Bane sounds like he's falling asleep on this track. We know exactly how you feel, pal. A bit of energy from somewhere wouldn't go amiss here.
Panic! At The Disco - Dancing's Not A Crime
Dancing isn't a crime Brendon, you're right. Unfortunately, this song is. The high-pitched vocal is super cringing and the whole overblown production just doesn't sit well at all. Time to call it a day mate, the emo life has not looked after you all too well.
Jaden Smith - GHOST
Just watch this below, this guy is a plonker of the highest degree. This new one is such a shit tune too. Awful mumble rap rubbish. Get in the sea.
Honourable Mentions
Folly Rae - You Don't Love Me
Meghan Trainor - ALL THE WAYS
Best
Ben Khan - ruby
Dirty Hit's Ben Khan has been teasing his new album and 'ruby' is the latest single shared. A dense and beautifully produced slice of electronic pop perfection, Khan's vocal layers work brilliantly with the infectious instrumental loop. This is an album we're incredibly excited for.
Nile Rodgers & Chic - Till The World Falls Feat. Mura Masa, Cosha & Vic Mensa
The king of funk returns and he's bringing some pretty cool pals with him. Nile Rodgers has teamed up with Vic Mensa and Not Another Music Blog favourites Mura Masa to deliver this modern take on the genre he helped define.

Florence + The Machine - Big God
'Big God' is the second single from the new Florence album and her vocal is as incredible ever. The tune is bombastic, dark and incredibly intense. The production here is amazing, the haunting brass section is something to be cherished. Welcome back Florence, we missed you.
Death Grips - Disappointed
Not many words for this one to be honest. 'Disappointed' is the album closer on the hip-hop duo's new record 'Year of the Snitch'. It's noisy, absolutely bonkers and sometimes brilliantly terrifying. Listen to it, it'll melt your brain.
