On \u201cIn the City,\u201d the pair\u2019s new duet, Charli and Smith celebrate the contagious, communal energy of an evening spent on the dancefloor. Over a shimmering synth-pop beat and euphoirc melodies played on house-style pianos, the duo encourage you to go find what you\u2019re looking for \u201cIn the City.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading larva \/\/   a-font-primary-bold-xl   \">Kali Uchis, \u201cTe Mata\u201d<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ChGXXI2T2Q8?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en-US&amp;autohide=2&amp;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tSure, Kali Uchis might be the devil in her ex\u2019s story \u2014 but she doesn\u2019t really have a problem with that. \u201cTe Mata,\u201d the rising Latin superstar\u2019s latest single, sees Uchis taking back the narrative from a toxic situationship, all while lounging over a lush, cha-cha melody. With her velvety voice, Uchis lets her ex know in perfect Spanish that her \u201cdays are no longer gray,\u201d and that \u201cI finally realized that I deserve much more\/ And that kills you.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading larva \/\/   a-font-primary-bold-xl   \">Dove Cameron, \u201cLethal Woman\u201d<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PcT8OcuC8uk?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en-US&amp;autohide=2&amp;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tWhere Uchis is ready to move on from a toxic ex, Dove Cameron is looking to get just a little bit hurt. \u201cLethal Woman,\u201d the lead single off of the singer\u2019s forthcoming debut album <em>Alchemical Volume 1<\/em>, is Cameron\u2019s ode to the kind of lover that will make her feel everything from pain to euphoria. Over a glitching industrial beat, Dove describes her ideal mate in detail, while declaring that she\u2019s \u201cnot a masochist,\u201d but just wants someone who\u2019s \u201csharp like a knife under the table.\u201d <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading larva \/\/   a-font-primary-bold-xl   \">Slayyyter, \u201cMonster\u201d (Lady Gaga cover)<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Monster - Spotify Singles\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/2EYDqen8Pftl3ENvqOs6fE?si=086a26d22d09484b&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tWhen it came time for Slayyyter to pick a pop diva to emulate on her new Spotify Single, she chose 100% correctly. Covering Lady Gaga\u2019s classic \u201cMonster,\u201d Slayyyter perfectly takes all of the elements of Gaga\u2019s theatrical performance that made the original so good, while imbuing the song with her own brand of slinky, dark-pop sensibility. It helps that her voice has maybe never sounded quite as powerful as it does on this ridiculously good cover. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading larva \/\/   a-font-primary-bold-xl   \">Kevin Abstract, \u201cWhat Should I Do?\u201d<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eKXC_6h4XXo?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en-US&amp;autohide=2&amp;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tLeave it to hip-hop virtuoso Kevin Abstract to write an all-time great indie song. While \u201cWhat Should I Do?\u201d might not be exactly what fans of his expect to hear, the track practically bursts with the sense of longing and complex emotion that Abstract has proven himself to be a master at portraying. As the strums of an acoustic guitar accompany his intentionally pitch-shifted vocal, Abstract desperately tries to move past the intrusive thought of an ex he\u2019s still hung up on, constantly begging them to please \u201cdon\u2019t touch me, it turns me on,\u201d while trying to find anything to get his mind elsewhere. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading larva \/\/   a-font-primary-bold-xl   \">Maddie Zahm, <em>Now That I\u2019ve Been Honest<\/em><br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lvn5hxgmQA0?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en-US&amp;autohide=2&amp;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAfter making a name for herself writing gorgeous, diaristic songs and sharing them with her massive TikTok audience, singer-songwriter Maddie Zahm is ready to show you all that she\u2019s capable of. Throughout her debut album <em>Now That I\u2019ve Been Honest<\/em>, Zahm flirts with every genre of pop music she can get her hands on, including angsty pop-punk (on the f\u2013k-you anthem \u201cBedroom\u201d), delirious funk-pop (on Sapphic Anthem \u201cLady Killer\u201d), and straight up stadium-level pop (on the euphoric \u201cEightball Girl\u201d). But fear not \u2014 her confessional songwriting is still the star of her debut, making <em>Honest<\/em> a cathartic, must-listen experience. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading larva \/\/   a-font-primary-bold-xl   \">MICHELLE, \u201cGlow\u201d\/\u201dAgnostic\u201d<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZmKJtBJ0XV0?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en-US&amp;autohide=2&amp;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tSupergroup MICHELLE is back, and they\u2019re better than ever. With their new double single release, the NYC-based collective tries their hands at some new sounds to raving success. On \u201cGlow,\u201d the sextet dive headfirst into blissful bedroom pop as they let a potential lover know that \u201cwe\u2019re never gonna happen.\u201d Meanwhile, on \u201cAgnostic,\u201d the group basks in a chilled-out indie rock sound as they take stock of a love they\u2019ve left behind.

Deliciously punchy bass lines punctuate her incisive lyrics, as she declares that these \u201cinsufferable\u201d and \u201cunbearable\u201d men are little more to her than insects \u2014 and she\u2019s more than happy to start squishing them. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<em>Check out all of our picks in Billboard\u2019s Queer Jams of the Week playlist below:<\/em><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Queer Jams of the Week 2023\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/playlist\/6M4y1ZiK61fymRWDv3R9Qt?si=ad76ce2fb84540d2&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/culture\/pride\/queer-jams-of-the-week-sam-smith-kali-uchis-dove-cameron-1235450084\/\">Aller \u00e0 la source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another week means another chance to find some new tunes from your favorite queer artists.
