The One New Drake Song You Need to Hear
Plus Weird Al's weed stash, the next great young London art-rock band, and more.
Five Songs is a weekly series for paid Hearing Things subscribers in which we each choose a new song we like—or don't!—and write about why it has our attention.
This week we've got razor-edged cumbia, art-rock for picking fights with imaginary foes, weeded-out raps about America's foremost parody artist, Devo for the Instagram era, and musings on the best track from that guy's triple-album data dump from the critic who first put you on to Thank Me Later.
