- Trixie Mattell revs us up with "Gay HBO Max Song" – a club hit ca. the 1990s with samples of some of the most queer-relevant quotes in recent HBO Max memory (including, yes, that Jennifer Coolidge line)
- Rose Cousins, whose penetrating album Conditions of Love I reviewed last year on the Bluegrass Situation, continues to explore that mysterious animating force with a disarmingly sincere rendition of "Good Luck Babe"
- Madi Diaz also views love with skepticism. On "Feel Something" she fantasizes about returning to that new relationship high as her current one sours
- But if you love love, Yola has just the treat for you on "Amazing," a buoyant and dance-able track to start your week off right
- Australia's Wet Kiss gives us a seductive Lou Reed moment with their chamber-pop raver "Chick From Nowhere"
