Rolling Stone has published its weekly round-up of new music worth hearing, spotlighting fresh tracks from Gracie Abrams, Steve Lacy and Beabadoobee as the standout releases. Abrams offers a reflective song about mother-daughter relationships, Lacy processes a breakup across a sprawling double track, and Beabadoobee explores themes of risk and reward on a new fuzzy-toned single. The feature is part of an ongoing series highlighting singles and key album cuts the magazine's editors consider essential listening each week.

Beyond the three headline artists, the list features dozens of additional new songs from a broad range of musicians, including Carly Rae Jepsen, Tinashe, Syd, Fiona Apple, Queens of the Stone Age, Travis Scott (with James Blake and Ludwig Göransson), Brandon Flowers, Nia Archives, Dry Cleaning and Yard Act, among others. Each entry links to a corresponding YouTube video, giving readers a curated, genre-spanning playlist for the week of 17 July 2026.
