Remi Wolf’s Scintillating ‘Toro’ and 4 More Cool New Pop Songs This Week
Remi Wolf's "Toro," Charli XCX's "360," RM's "Come Back to Me" and more cool new pop songs out this week.
An ode to hotel-room sex, “Toro” immediately tosses out frothy lyrical details (“Dancing around and spilling wine, you look good / In my hotel robe,” she sings) and leans into a nu-disco strut, applying the funk from “Cinderella” to verses that sneak forward and a chorus that revs up. Congolese-Canadian singer-songwriter Lu Kala showed promise of past singles “Pretty Girl Era” and “Hotter Now,” but on “Who’s Gonna,” she’s paired with a nasty bass riff that matches her confidence, as well as a hook that could very well soundtrack a luxurious TikTok trend. In the middle of a surprise Brooklyn appearance, a star-studded music video and the continued rollout of forthcoming album Brat is what may be Charli XCX’s most winning club banger in years: “360” is slippery yet magnetic, updating the brilliant bounce of her Pop 2 era for a wider audience.
