Best New Tracks: Charli XCX, J. Cole, Cordae and More

by

As a lifelong music enthusiast who’s been through the evolution of hip-hop and pop culture, this week’s Best New Tracks lineup has truly hit the sweet spot for me. From the unapologetic energy of J. Cole to Charli XCX’s remix album, it’s clear that artists are pushing boundaries and taking risks – something I’ve always appreciated in music.

Wrapping up this week’s musical journey, TopMob presents the finest tracks as part of our latest edition of Standout Music Releases.

This week’s music lineup features new albums from Charli XCX, Rich the Kid, Famous Dex, Jay Critch, as well as singles by J. Cole, Skepta with Flo Milli, EARTHGANG alongside T-Pain and Spillage Village, Cordae, Ab-Soul, Flying Lotus, Bruiser Wolf with Zack Fox, and The Kid LAROI.

J. Cole – “Port Antonio”

In a straightforward and engaging manner: J. Cole openly expresses his thoughts in the song “Port Antonio”. This is his first solo single since “Might Delete Later”, and it shows that he’s picking up where he left off, clarifying his position on rap feuds more explicitly than ever before. At present, this track hasn’t been uploaded to streaming platforms yet.

Charli XCX – Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat

BRAT season is never over. Charli XCX’s remix album of her acclaimed BRAT LP has officially dropped, which sees a remixed edition of each of the original album’s 16 tracks. The BRAT queen curates a star-studded crew of contributors to take the album to the next level, including Caroline Polachek, Ariana Grande, Bladee and Bon Iver.

Cordae – “Mad as F*ck”

As a diehard fan, I can’t contain my excitement! Not only has Cordae released another powerful single, titled “Mad as F*ck,” but he’s also announced an official release date for his anticipated album, The Crossroads. This marks the third release of the year from him, and with “Mad as F*ck” dropping alongside it, we finally have a confirmed November 15th for the much-awaited album to hit the shelves.

Ab-Soul – “Squeeze 1st 2”

Looks like Ab-Soul, my favorite TDE artist, has finally broken his silence after a long while. He’s dropped a new solo track since 2022, following the critically lauded “Herbert” album – the one that signaled the end of his six-year hiatus.

Flying Lotus – “Indigo Swann”

In this contemporary phase, Flying Lotus has been exploring Electronic Dance Music (EDM). His latest track, “Indigo Swann,” took fans by surprise with its upbeat house rhythm, featuring robust synths and profound percussion. Following the release of “Garmonbozia” last month, this new cut is now available.
