And more new music this week, with tracks from Röyksopp and Queen Naija.
Perhaps to the disappointment of the sad sad Twitter girlies, Mitski is back with a new single from her album: The 31-year-old isto the tune of something darker and more anguished. In “Stay Soft,” the songwriter has all the familiar trappings of her own
inventive Mitski-ness , but she’s, at times, more commanding. “You need to go/To where the dark remembers you,” she orders, and “Open up your heart/Like the gates of hell.” As someone who only started listening to Mitski earlier this year, this album has proven a good entry point to further explore her full discography, without latching onto the disappointment some fans feel over the artist not reaching her full musical prodigy potential on this one.
If you’re going to renege on your goodbye, you need to make “hello again” count. Norwegian duo Röyksopp seem keenly aware of this with their hypnotic new single “Impossible.” Back in 2014, the group claimed that year’sthey announced a new one this week, though they’re not calling.” I mean, it has 10 songs on it, it’s out in April—sounds like an album to me. Whatever you want to call it, the latest “installment” from it is a lovely balancing act of ambient keyboards and a propulsive beat.
