OMG Playlist: April 2024 New Releases

Every month, our music editor ED curates a special selection of newly released music for the OMG Playlist on Spotify (follow us @omgblog).

It wouldn’t be an OMG.BLOG playlist without a sunny pop-moment. “Espresso” by Sabrina Carpenter has been on repeat all month, and we think it will be the song of the summer. This song paints a beachy, bubble-gum landscape with clever wordplay and cheeky lyrics:

I can’t relate to desperation, my give-a-fucks are on vacation, and I got this one boy, and he won’t stop calling.”

If you’re hung up on a lover that won’t call you back, try flipping the script about it. Put this on and pretend you’re ghosting them. They’re so annoying, and you’re so hot! Can they please leave you alone? That kind of stuff. We love it!

If you’re going to release a sexy R&B song called “Nasty,” that means you are up against Janet Jackson, so, good luck. But actually, Tinashe nailed it with this one. Simple trap beats but still channelling a vocal range, and a smutty vulnerability. We’ve been dropping it low to Tinashe’s “Nasty” and we hope you will too.

This past month we’ve been loving the return of our favourite classy synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys. Their new album “Nonetheless” is consistent with all of their past works. Detailed sonic landscapes to make you feel like you’re gliding through space. Our favorite track “Feel” definitely has us feeling things.

But there’s more! We have just over three hours of new music for you—including releases from Jamie XX, Chappell Roan Honey Dijon, Bat for Lashes, Doja Cat, Caribou, and many more. Check it out, after the jump!

!! OMG, new music: Dua Lipa releases new studio album ‘Radical Optimism’ just in time for the beach !!

It’s seems since Future Nostalgia dropped during the pandemic, on every gay beach you’re bound to hear Dua Lipa as the anthem for sunshine, water and sand.

Her album cover for Radical Optimism, her latest, certainly seems very beachy! We’ll bet it’s about to carry on the tradition.

!! OMG, Pet Shop Boys’ Neil Tennant says Taylor Swift does not have “famous songs”, music is ‘disappointing’ !!

Music legend Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys has thoughts about Miss Taylor, and while he actually seems pretty nice about them… he’s honest!

“Taylor Swift sort of fascinates me as a phenomenon because she’s so popular, and I sort of quite like the whole thing, but then when I listen to the records … for a phenomenon as big [as she is], where are the famous songs? What’s Taylor Swift’s ‘Billie Jean’?”…
