Tracks About Dreaming That Will Wake You All the Way Up
Plus a sparkling ode to Caribbean music history and a crude-but-real pop trifle from Doja Cat.
Five Songs is a weekly series for paid Hearing Things subscribers in which we each choose a new song we like and write about why we can’t stop listening to it.

Stay tuned for a couple of very different songs—one from art-pop weirdos Magdalena Bay and the other from Michigan rap grinder Peezy—about trying to escape into sleep only to have reality smack you across the face anyway, along with a comprehensive (and highly enjoyable!) history lesson from reggaetonero Rauw Alejandro, a Westerman track that finds beauty in uncertainty, and a charmingly explicit burst of fizz from Doja Cat. There is also a Must Hear selection—i.e., a track we really, really love—among the five picks. Thanks for listening.
