Subject Matter:&nbsp;&quot;Tell her, tell her that it&#39;s over, that we&#39;re closer, closer.&quot; Need we say more?

Feels:&nbsp;Astrid&#39;s voice is about as&nbsp;angelic as her face. Paired with a dipping 90s-style beat, however, this Norwegian&#39;s crooning adds the perfect amount of sultriness.

Appropriate Setting: Nothing like that sweet, sweet strumming to wake you up on this frigid Friday morning. This song is recommended for those who are blessed enough to have a late start today&nbsp;but who, obviously, are still in need of a little pick-me-up while A) choosing your OOTD B) Buttering your bfast toast C) showering.

Okay, tell me more: Safe to say Astrid_S has officially won the hearts of modern pop lovers across the world. This year, she adds Vevo&#39;s DSCVR &#39;Artists to Watch 2019&#39; and YouTube&#39;s &#39;Ones to Watch 2019&#39; to her long list of accolades (including&nbsp;an MTV EMA Award, a &#39;Newcomer of the Year&#39;&nbsp;Norwegian Grammy and the Spelleman Grammy for &#39;Artist of the Year.&#39;) Her second latest release, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/astgird-s-emotion-2018" target="_blank">&#39;Emotions&#39;</a>, has just hit one million views across all platforms. Wow! Catch Astrid_S as joins Years &amp; Years&#39; UK stadium tour this winter.

42825095_2175336856051058_1904874547132418441_n.jpg

Subject Matter:&nbsp;&quot;Ice Cube got that new funkadelic, that new funkadelic, better run go tell it.&quot; Well, Ice Cube, that&#39;s exactly we&#39;re doing.

Feels:&nbsp;SO. Funky. Why don&#39;t we make music like this anymore?&nbsp;

Appropriate Setting:&nbsp;You may feel tired now but, trust,&nbsp;life is way too short to go to bed at 8 PM on a Friday night.&nbsp;Go home, take a power nap, shower, blast &#39;That New Funkadelic&#39; and you&#39;ll be good to go! As we tell you every week: you deserve to let loose, friends!

&#39;Roses&#39; - benny blanco, Juice WRLD ft.&nbsp;Brendon Urie

45469759_1489339924529881_1913679470268620706_n.jpg

Subject Matter:&nbsp;This playfully devastating song has turned one of our favorite childhood songs into a&nbsp;&nbsp;relatable adult-age plea: &quot;Roses are red, violets are blue, my heart is dead, I&#39;m such a fool. Why did I fall for you?&quot;

&nbsp;

Feels:&nbsp;Don&#39;t be fooled by what sounds like a&nbsp;country song&nbsp;intro. &#39;Roses&#39; sounds like it&#39;s joining the growing legion of tunes that make up a newly emerged hip hop&nbsp;subgenre knows as&nbsp;cloud rap.&nbsp;That&#39;s what the youth call it, right?

&nbsp;

Appropriate Setting:&nbsp;If you&#39;re one of those people who go to the gym during their lunch breaks -&nbsp;first&nbsp;of all, kudos - and, second of all, &#39;Roses&#39; might be the perfect tune to get your heart pumping a little bit faster.

&nbsp;

Okay, tell me more:&nbsp;&#39;Roses&#39; is just the latest in a series of exciting collaborative releases for blanco this past year, including &#39;I Found You&#39; (with Calvin Harris) and &#39;Eastside&#39; (with Halsey and Khalid). This producer and songwriter has already received many a recognition for his work but 2018 marks the year that benny blanco (A.K.A. Benjamin Joseph Levin) released&nbsp;his first album: FRIENDS KEEP SECRETS. Congrats!

Subject Matter: &quot;Gravity&quot; is about taking a step back and looking at how far you&#39;ve come. Forget what Newton said: when you set your mind to something, not even gravity can hold you down.

Feels:&nbsp;Considering that this song is&nbsp;featured in National Geographic&#39;s latest critically-acclaimed film Free Solo (a documentary about Alex Honnold&#39;s free solo climb of El Capitan), it&#39;s no wonder that &quot;Gravity&quot; brings All. The. Feels.

Appropriate Setting: Coincidentally, this song would actually be perfect for that moment in a plane ride - you know the one - when you look out the window and pretend you&#39;re in a super dramatic music video.

Okay, tell me more:&nbsp;This Grammy Award-winning country star is set to make his first-ever visit to Cuba in May 2019. Why you may ask? Because Cuba is a beautiful country, first of all, but also because Tim McGraw will be taking part in&nbsp;a landmark cultural exchange between the United States and Cuba. Tim McGraw: One Of Those Havana Nights (May 23-27, 2019)&nbsp;will also feature some of Cuba&#39;s most beloved artists. Awesome!

&#39;If You Want To&#39; - beabadobee

42986982_323389591780641_6548400498981653698_n.jpg

Subject Matter: In Bea&#39;s <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BrELBlGg2_Z/" target="_blank">words</a>, &quot;I wrote Patched Up&nbsp;[beabadobee&#39;s latest album] during a time where I had so many feelings I couldn&#39;t get my brain to organize.&quot; This song&#39;s about being in that state of mind and, oh boy, can we relate.

Feels:&nbsp;This Londoner&#39;s sound is honest - a commodity that some might say is somewhat rare in the industry today. While &#39;If You Want To&#39; is slightly less acoustic than the other songs on her newly dropped album, beabadoobee&#39;s earnest vocals/lyrics and killer lo-fi riffs are no less honest.

Appropriate Setting: Take courage, friends, the working day (and working week) is almost over! We try to make sure that every weekly roundup contains at least 1 or 2 tunes to which you can listen on your commute home. This is 100% one of them.

&nbsp;

Listen to &#39;If You Want To&#39; and beabadoobee&#39;s&nbsp;full album&nbsp;<a href="https://l.instagram.com/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fopen.spotify.com%2Falbum%2F7zPBy6Rjmijd4p8drmQPu7%3Fsi%3Drv4BeJoeTPWf7SrGrQOSEg&amp;e=ATNfIEyTKdeHb_F4vwQPTPl4Sg7J9FiJtGWqa7GliGecUVIkv-UHHtaZxdfFhMIKHpkmUSZ7" target="_blank">here</a>.

&#39;Papaya&#39; - Saba,&nbsp;daedae (A.K.A. 2/6&nbsp;PIVOT Gang)

47691368_2497123523847872_8090449042458393672_n.jpg

Subject Matter: Why &quot;papaya,&quot; you might ask? First of all&nbsp;(disclaimer: unpopular opinion)&nbsp;papaya&nbsp;is a delicious fruit and, second of all, papaya is the perfect fruit to share with your love interest, according to Saba and daedae.

Feels: &#39;Papaya&#39; boasts smooth vocals, smooth beats, smooth lyrics...basically, Saba and daedae are all about the smooth sailing and we&#39;re loving it.

Appropriate Setting:&nbsp;Still have space on your &#39;my&nbsp;commute home&#39; playlist for one more song? No? Well, make some space. Trust us.

Subject Matter:&nbsp;To all those who are celebrating this new week with an all-night grind in the office or school library, COIN&#39;s message is for you: nobody&#39;ll care if you&#39;re the richest (wo)man in the cemetery.

&nbsp;

Feels:&nbsp;&#39;Cemetery&#39; has all the ingredients for that sweet&nbsp;soothing&nbsp;indie pop&nbsp;sound, from the&nbsp;catchy melody to the up-tempo beat that you can&#39;t help but tap your foot to - not to mention a set of lyrics that give a surprisingly insightful social critique.

&nbsp;

Appropriate Setting:&nbsp;Plug in those earphones and work away, minions! COIN is here to keep you company all night.

&nbsp;

Okay, tell me more: Is &#39;Cemetery&#39; already playing on loop? Well, fear not, COIN is set to have a&nbsp;super active year ahead with their third studio album coming out as well as a major show at the Wiltern in March, 2019. Until then, &#39;Simple Romance&#39; is a must-listen (boasting&nbsp;700K streams on Spotify alone)...which isn&#39;t so surprising, really,&nbsp;considering that the band has received the backing from none other than the kinds of indie pop themselves: Foster the People.
