All Songs Considered is NPR's flagship podcast for new music, artist interviews and friendly banter about the albums and musicians you love. Plus, special episodes on topics we can all relate to, like the best roadtrip anthems or songs to calm the nerves.
This week on All Songs Considered: U2 surprise-dropped a new EP that opens with a scorching critique of the government crackdown on immigration; Lana Del Rey inched closer toward releasing her long-awaited album with a haunting and strange ode to love and obsession, while singer Arlo Parks takes a bold step out onto the dance floor. All that and more as host Robin Hilton and NPR Music’s Sheldon Pearce share their picks for the best new songs of the week. If you watch HBO’s The Pitt, you might have heard the gorgeous new song called “Need Someone” that Andrew Bird wrote for a recent episode. We’ve got that on this week’s show along with reflections on fitting in by letting go, from Gia Margaret and Ratboys; shoegaze from Draag, the twitchy glitchy sounds of Mandy, Indiana and more.NPR Music’s Dora Levite joins host Robin Hilton to share the best new songs they’re obsessing over this week.Featured songs and artists: Intro Draag: “Finding Fear,” from ‘Miracle Drug’ Mandy, Indiana: “Try Saying,” from ‘Urgh’ Andrew Bird: “Need Someone” Ratboys: “Open Up,” from ‘Singin’ To An Empty Chair’ Gia Margaret: “Everyone Around Me Dancing,” from ‘Singing’ By Storm: “Can I Have You For Myself,” from ‘My Ghost Go Ghost’Support the show with a review on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

More than 50 years after first being released, and thanks to a little show called “Stranger Things,” this song managed to reemerge on the Billboard charts earlier this year, yet again. How does this song and this band continue to remain relevant after so long? With the arrival of the Geese Tiny Desk, we thought we’d try to break down what it is about this band that has made them one of the most talked about and polarizing acts of the past six months. The Beck rarity “Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometime” has finally hit streaming services and we can’t get enough of it. We’ve also got new projects from Friko and Asher White, a witchy new cut from the duo Sibyl, the Polish composer and guitarist Szymon Wójcik and more.NPR Music’s Lars Gotrich joins host Robin Hilton.Featured songs and artists: Intro and The Grammys Beck: “Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometime,” from ‘Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometime’ Rat Penat: “Kijiji,” from ‘Over Easy’ Friko: “Seven Degrees,” from ‘Something Worth Waiting For’ Sibyl: “Witch Wife,” from ‘Sibyl’ Asher White: “Casper,” from ‘Jessica Pratt’ Szymon Wójcik: “it’s only begun,” from ‘when you rub your eyes, you see things you can’t describe’Support the show with a review on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

With monumental releases from Prince, Madonna, and Bruce Springsteen, 1984 is considered one of the biggest years in pop music history. And this year also birthed a song from a transitional moment in hip-hop—the pivot point when rap ceased to simply be New York street culture and started to become American pop music. The song's also since popped up as samples and interpolations in many other prominent records in their own right. This week we're obsessing over the hilarious and harrowing “Where’s My Phone,” from Mitski, a slightly softer solo cut from Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon, the confounding but wondrous wordplay of Father John Misty and more. Reports from late last year about the demise of MTV were overstated; but it got us thinking about the network’s legacy and most memorable moments. So, on this episode, we remember the best of MTV with a list of our top 20 videos from its golden era.
