Our three favorite new songs of the week will take you on a jaunt around the world with music from artists from the U.S., New Zealand, and the UK. Whether soothing and fit for a cozy cuddle next to a fire or delicious indie pop (literally) — these three new song releases are an excellent addition to your music discovery endeavors. Two of the three artists are on tour with upcoming shows in Los Angeles.

Fousheé — “feel like home”

From the moment you hear the cinematic intro of Fousheé’s new single, “feel like home,” you know you’re in for a special treat. The charming number arrived just days ahead of her new album, Pointy Heights, and without a doubt, it was one the best songs on the endearing collection. Like a crisp new record going for its first spin, “feel like home” exudes a sense of joy and comfort as Fousheé’s velvety vocals caress your soul. The track was produced in collaboration with BNYX, 1993 & Jean Baptiste.

Nilüfer Yanya — “Just A Western”

Ahead of the release of her new album, My Method Actor, Nilüfer Yanya shared her latest single and music video, “Just a Western.” A resplendent song that soothes with every word she sings, it reminds of the same calming effects of Sade.

“The melody feels freeing to me,” shares Yanya, “but the lyrics are ‘there’s no way in, no way out’ and the concept is about facing your fate. I don’t know if I believe in fate but it feels real in the song.” 

Nilüfer will begin her world tour this Fall, stopping in Los Angeles at the Fonda Theatre on Oct. 24.

Fazerdaze “Cherry Pie”

New Zealand artist and producer Fazerdaze (Amelia Murray) returns with the new single “Cherry Pie.” A dreamy indie pop number as addicting as the delicious dessert that shares its name, “Cherry Pie” signifies a voyage of self-discovery and change.

“‘Cherry Pie’ began as lyrics on my phone during my first overseas trip to LA almost ten years ago,” reflects Murray. “Now, at 31, this song has journeyed with me through many different versions of myself.”

Fazerdaze will release her first album in seven years, Soft Power, on November 15 via section/Partisan Records and Butterfly Records in Aus/NZ. Touring this November through December with Pond, Fazerdazer will perform at the Wiltern in Los Angeles on December 5.
