1 | CALVIN HARRIS FEAT.
FRANK OCEAN & MIGOS “SLIDE”An EDM champ, an elusive R&B
star, and rap’s latest game
changers walk into a studio...and
come out with a surprisingly sim-
patico piano-funk banger.2 | LANA DEL REY“LOVE”Pop’s daydream believer delivers
yet another swooning orchestral
ballad, as lush and pillowy as
a featherbed lined with Xanax.3 | THE CHAINSMOKERS AND COLDPLAY
“SOMETHING JUST LIKE THIS”Chris Martin brings his soaring
vocals—and feel-good, dream-big
message—to the chart-topping
duo’s propulsive wall-of-synths
sound; weirdly, it totally works.4 | ED SHEERAN
“HOW WOULD YOU FEEL (PAEAN)”The jack-of-all-genres embraces
his softer side again on this tender,
ready-for-the-wedding ode to
a love worth nurturing over time.5 | NIKKI LANE “HIGHWAY QUEEN”On this fingerpicked stomper,
the outlaw-country firebrand finds
her open-road alter ego: a siren in
tight blue jeans trolling “60,000
miles of blacktop/countless broken
hearts between.”6 | SIGRID“DON’T KILL MY VIBE”
While the world awaits Lorde’s
next album, this Norwegian export
pumps welcome new blood into
moody outsider pop with her biting
declaration of independence.EDITED BY LEAHGREENBLATT@lleahbhbatsPLAYLIST
