Freshly Squeezed, Vol. 43: Ariana Grande, Sean McVerry, Ashely Monroe & more

Welcome to Freshly Squeezed, a weekly new music playlist: spanning country, pop, EDM and urban, mainstream and other.

Love her or leave her, there’s power in Ariana Grande‘s voice. At a time when souls are aching in the face of tragedy after tragedy, the pop juggernaut offers a bit of solace and renewable dance-energy with her new single. “No Tears Left to Cry” mixes emotional baggage with a shake-it-off spirit, letting the listener into her world post-Manchester massacre. “Right now, I’m in a state of mind I wanna be in like all the time,” she guides, taking our hands, healing our hearts and letting us know it’ll all be alright in the end. It shimmers. It shakes. It pierces the heart.

Brothers Osborne delight with a deep cut from their second studio album, Port Saint Joe, and pop upstart Sean McVerry unpacks an exhilarating round-up of club-floor jams with his glitter-soaked third EP, Private Lives. Ashley Monroe delivers one of the year’s best albums with Sparrow, so raw and soul-replenishing and could very well be her most stunning and vulnerable record to-date. There are also tunes from such new releases by Sasha Sloan, PRETTYMUCH, Seeb, Ganser and Sub-Radio.

Then, our crisp new playlist overflows with fresh entries from the likes of Armin van Buuren, The Young Novelists, Chimes, Ava Max, alxxa, Becky G, Let’s Eat Grandma, Lykke Li, The Wild Feathers, Joshua Hedley, Yvette Nacer, The Milk Carton Kids, The Brothers Footman, The Dig, Subsonics and Leon Bridges ⎯⎯ a shape-shifting collection of stunning balladry, glorious gritty rockers and rave-concocted crooners.

In all, we’ve got 56 new songs to get you hyped AF.

Each playlist will be refreshed every Friday morning/afternoon. We reserve the right to update anytime during the week, so make sure you bookmark this page.
