Florrie’s Resilient ‘The Lost Ones’ and 4 More Cool New Pop Songs This Week
This week's cool new pop songs come from Florrie, Porter Robinson, Empress Of and more.
“Our thorns are buried deep / But we see beauty in our dreams,” Florrie declares on the chorus to “The Lost Ones.” She’s speaking from personal experience: the British pop singer-songwriter-producer-drummer’s upcoming debut album has been more than a decade in the making, following her four-song EP Introduction way back in 2010 and several years of industry hell. Artemas teased “I Like The Way You Kiss Me” for weeks ahead of his new single’s release, and indeed, the darkly lit alt-pop track does boast the type of chewable hook that could go viral — although listeners should really bask in that guitar line, which barges in like some new-school New Order. Following up recent single “Serpentine” with an even more arresting pop track, Renforshort offers personal reflection and a sly soft-loud dynamic on “ Hurt Like It Should,” speaking her truth over acoustic strums until the guitars fuzz out her lamentations.
