33 New Songs Out Today

So many artists, so little time. Each week we review a handful of new albums (of all genres), round up even more new music that we'd call "indie," and talk about what metal is coming out. We post music news, track premieres, and more all day. In these concertless times, that includes daily livestreams and live concert videos we love. We publish a monthly playlist of some of our favorite tracks. Here's a daily roundup with a bunch of interesting, newly released songs in one place.

MILEY CYRUS - "EDGE OF MIDNIGHT" (ft. STEVIE NICKS)

Miley Cyrus has been paying tributes to her rock heroes lately, both with covers and also with her very good new single "Midnight Sky," which pays homage to Stevie Nicks' "Edge of Seventeen." Now, Miley and Stevie have teamed up for a remix/mashup of those two songs, which includes Stevie singing the hook to Miley's song at one point. Pretty cool. Miley's new album Plastic Hearts drops November 27 via RCA.
