First Out: New Music From Troye Sivan, K.Flay, Channel Tres & More
Troye Sivan, “Easy (with Kacey Musgraves feat. Mark Ronson)” It’s not often that a remix fundamentally improves on an original — but on Troye Sivan’s new remix of his track “Easy,” featuring none other than country-pop superstar Kacey Musgraves and pop auteur Mark Ronson, that is exactly the case. The new, dizzying synth sound pairs perfectly with Musgraves’ new verse, as the two imbue the song with an even deeper “crying on the dancefloor” feel than the original. Add onto that the mullet-filled, Nashville-based music video, and you’ve got a sure-fire winner on your hands. K.Flay, Don’t Judge a Song By Its Cover No one necessarily asked for a cover of Limp Bizkit’s “Break Stuff,” or The Offspring...

Sawayama teams up with Chromatica producer BloodPop on “Lucid,” a pure electro-pop banger where the star decides to dissociate into her own dream world, conjuring up her fantasy relationship while the throbbing house beats and glittering synth runs pulsate around her. “Me and Lauren Aquilina wrote this together on the floor of my tiny rented living room back in early 2018,” Sawayama said of putting the new song together. “BloodPop sent us the beat and the melody flowed out so easily that I remember at one point I started hoovering ’cause I knew ...
