Post Malone
Released Aug 30
Republic Records, UMG Recordings Inc.
The low-key, acoustic warble of Post Malone’s “Circles” is pleasant and easy-going as the rapper again deviates from his usual rap genre.
Charli XCX
Released Aug 30
Asylum Records UK, Atlantic Records UK
This indie electric-pop single is exactly like its name — vibrant and, yes, warm and boosted by Charli XCX and HAIM’s ethereal vocals.
“Eat, Sleep, Wake (Nothing But You)”
Bombay Bicycle Club
Released Aug 27
Mmm…Records
Though the song does not vary in its lyrics, the grunge-style guitar and flourishing but cohesive soundscape created by Bombay Bicycle Club is exciting and, at times, beautiful.
