Little May, “Seven Hours"

Apples or bread can cut through a complex meal’s flavor profiles; Little May’s latest will do the same for discordant radio play. The Australian group’s “Seven Hours” is restrained but powerful; melancholy but hopeful and features hypnotic harmonies from the three-piece Australian group. If this is a sign of where forthcoming album, For the Company, is headed, consider any invitation formally accepted. — Matthew Donnelly

Grace Mitchell, "Bae (feat. S.Pri Noir)"

Grace Mitchell isn't playing at this point: With her Raceday EP, the rapidly rising young singer-songwriter is on the fast track to becoming the Next Big Thing, sort of like the American answer to Lorde — but with some added swagger. It's already amazing enough that this song is called "Bae," but there's so much more to it! That Darude-like techno intro out of nowhere. The French rap feature. The dark, seductive production. This song is, quite literally, bae. — Bradley Stern

Alessia Cara, “Outlaws”

I fell in love with Alessia Cara’s viral, Isaac Hayes-sampling “Here” earlier this year, and it’s tough to pick a favorite from her excellent new Four Pink Walls EP. But the wistful, doo wop-tinged “Outlaws” is what’s currently racking up the most replays, and it showcases Cara’s considerable vocal talent. – Samantha Vincenty

The Arcs, “Put a Flower in Your Pocket"

Take The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach, pair his garage rock sensibilities with an all-female mariachi band and you’ll get “Put a Flower in Your Pocket.” The song, a third release from the singer’s new The Arcs project, fashions a baseball stadium’s between-innings organ into the star of a no-frills club show, and features backing vocals befitting of Neil Young or The Rolling Stones. If Turn Blue was a descent into depression, “Flower” is Auerbach’s reconstruction of charm. — Matthew Donnelly

Zak Abel, "Say Sumthin"

Zak Abel’s barely 20 years old, but the London singer’s voice has the depth of a much more seasoned man — and it’s well suited to the highly-danceable “Say Sumthin.” The track was made with Kaytranada, one of my favorite producers working today, who’s consistently demonstrated a love of R&B and pop he’s too young to actually remember. This song would already be an instant hit if a higher-profile artist like John Legend had released it, and Abel is certainly just as worthy. - Samantha Vincenty

Frankie, "Problems Problems"

Inspired by '70's songwriters and 90's pop acts, Oakland-bred singer-songwriter Frankie is another key player on the One To Watch list this year. The doo wop-tinged "Problems Problems" off of her newly released Dreamstate EP marries tripping hip-hop beats to classic melodies made modern, and the result is sweet — and super sing-along friendly. — Bradley Stern

Alessia Cara, “Seventeen"

To say the 19-year-old is a placeholder for a between-albums Lorde would be a reduction of her talents. “Seventeen,” the poppy lead track on Cara’s five-piece EP, explores a typical teen’s identity crisis with impressively mature finesse; where others her age wonder if they’ll be okay, Cara — in spite of her concerns — seems sure of it. It’s foresight and nostalgia wrapped into one panicked dance party, but one you’ll feel compelled to join. — Matthew Donnelly

Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, “S.O.B.”

The video for “S.O.B.” takes place in a prison (of the old-timey and mostly white “Cool Hand Luke” variety), and the song sounds like it was recorded in a similarly large, echo-y space. “S.O.B.” boasts bluesy folk-pop production that’s not of this era, and the fact that Rateliff’s signed to legendary Memphis label Stax Records is unsurprising: His musical forebear Elvis Presley recorded three albums at the original Stax studio. This one’s a literal foot stomper. – Samantha Vincenty

Justin Bieber, "What Do You Mean?"

What do you mean Justin Bieber's gone Tropical House? It's true! Riding high on the wave of island-infused club sounds as of late (see Kygo and Felix Jaehn), as well as his recent foray onto the dance floor with Jack Ü ("Where Are Ü Now?"), the Biebs makes his comeback at last in the form of a chill, subdued groove dedicated to a lady who just can't figure out what she wants. It's the epitome of an end-of-summer smash. Just don't stop asking questions, Justin. — Bradley Stern
