Every week, Consequence staffers spotlight their favorite new songs for our Songs of the Week column. This week, we’re excited about new tunes from Tyla and Zara Larsson, The Jungle Giants, Rosali, and more.
Fire-Toolz — “And Where Is The Heart? I’ve Searched My Entire Home”
The latest cut from Fire-Toolz’ upcoming new album, “And Where Is The Heart? I’ve Searched My Entire Home,” finds the eclectic artist teaming up with Nashville session artist Jennifer Holm, and it’s got just about everything a fan could want. A wondrous, playful set of synthetic timbres? Check. Sweetly sung vocals contrasted with blood-curdling shrieks? Check. A chaotic, noisy, but somehow still lovely outro? You got it. Paired with “Balam =^..^= Says IPv09082024 Strawberry Head,” the artist’s looming LP, Lavender Networks, is shaping up to be quite the sonic journey. — Jonah Krueger
Golomb — “Be Here Now (Final AF FRFR) (Wishy Remix)”
Following their 2025 album, The Beat Goes On, Golomb have released their newest EP, The Beat Goes On and On and On, a playful collection of acoustic versions, remixes, and one new track. A standout is the remix of the 2025 single “Be Here Now,” done by the Indianapolis indie rock band Wishy. The fluttering saxophone that sends the song outwards at the end of the original single is drenched in reverbed delay, surging at the beginning of the remix and transforming the ’90s-coded original into a textured and ethereal electronic track. Wishy’s shimmery, layered production style amplifies the Golomb cut into something bright and danceable, or at the very least, headbang-able. — Kelly Darroch
The Jungle Giants — “A Moment Like That”

The Jungle Giants have been steadily shifting their sound towards a more ecstatic house style, and their latest offering, “A Moment Like That,” is exactly the kind of party starter they’re becoming known for. Of course, the syncopated synth stabs and revved-up beat give “A Moment Like That” an enjoyable foundation, but it’s frontman Sam Hales’ playful vocals and easy falsetto that adds the most dopamine. It’s music made for rooftops in the summer, for 4pm on the festival grounds, for a beachside drive. And with each new release, the Aussie group are sounding even more celebratory and lovable. — Paolo Ragusa
Oxis — “Grey Mullet”
The marine-themed electronica artist, Oxis, has just released two new singles that continue to blur the line between land and sea. “Grey Mullet,” is the first release since her album Oxis 8, which followed seven other album releases since 2023. Her light but resonant clipped vocals pass through the track hypnotically as she repeats, “I can still feel the wind blow, I can still hear my heart go.” In true Oxis nature, the track is soft, minimalistic, and haunting. — K. Darroch
Piri — “Cosuluvme”
The electronic pop duo Piri & Tommy have parted ways, but Piri has now reemerged with her solo single, “Cosuluvme,” and it’s great to have her back. The club-ready track is less poppy than Piri’s usual fare, with nostalgic throbbing synths taking the lead. But what’s interesting about “Cosuluvme” is the fact that Piri could have easily dialed up the emotion and put her cards on the table — especially about what led to the band’s breakup, which is a big feature of the lyrics — but instead she pulls back, providing more space for the music and being more deliberate about what, exactly, she wants to say in this moment. It takes a great pop star to have such restraint — and luckily, the music itself is a blast. — P. Ragusa
Rob49 — “Do It”
Last spring, an old tweet went viral again for correctly analyzing a subgenre of hip-hop: “Louisiana beats be sounding like ghetto spy missions,” a user wrote in 2021. While the tweet led to people referencing regional acts like Mystikal, Young Bleed, and the Hot Boys, relative newcomer and New Orleans rapper Rob49 can now say he belongs to the same class. His latest single, “Do It,” sounds like not one, but two separate ghetto spy missions. The first 35 seconds see Rob49 spitting in an off-kilter delivery, as errant piano keys color a dogged bass line. For the remainder of the song, the MC raps about the dos and don’ts of his lifestyle over staunch production that brings to mind an espionage scene. By continuing the tradition of his musical forefathers, Rob49 is keeping local recipes alive. — Kiana Fitzgerald
Rosali — “Other Side”
“Other Side” is the newest single since Rosali’s esteemed 2024 album Bite Down. What begins with blowing raspberries and a snort transforms into a beautifully rich and upbeat country-rock arrangement, complete with a vibrant piano melody. While sonically buoyant with strong vocals, the lyrics deal with death and civic unrest, as Rosali spouts the words, “Crushing all my enemies – I mean those fuckers in power!” With a note of despair, Rosali ultimately brings a sense of peace and hope through her rough and dominating vocal performance. — K. Darroch
Truck Violence — “New Jesus”
Sludgy, noisy, and aggressive, Canada’s Truck Violence kicks off their next album cycle with an in-your-face barn-burner. Alternating between brooding, eerie grooves and chaotic, hardcore explosions, “New Jesus” is the type of track that makes you want to go 110 down an empty highway at night, or maybe punch your landlord in the face for dropping by unexpectedly. Fans of acts like Chat Pile or Prostitute will find a lot to love, and we’re sure they’ll find even more to love once the coming album, The weathervane is my body, drops in June. — J. Krueger
Tyla – “SHE DID IT AGAIN” (Feat. Zara Larsson)
Tyla is taking it. With her latest single, “SHE DID IT AGAIN,” the South African pop/amapiano princess is out to prove her viral 2023 hit “Water” wasn’t a fluke. Featuring rising Swedish pop star Zara Larsson, in their first collaboration, the song is an undulating steamer that grows hotter as it unfolds. The earthy, sensual visuals served up by Tyla and Larsson are clearly inspired by Beyoncé and Shakira’s 2007 crossover collaboration “Beautiful Liar,” which speaks to the level of acclaim the newer artists are aiming for. As she navigates slinky dance moves and flirtatious hair flips, Tyla sings convincingly about her allure, reminding us of why the world fell for her in the first place: “I’m addictive, baby, what you want me to do?/ Not a quick fix, one hit might ruin you.” — K. Fitzgerald
