In this week&rsquo;s Monday Music Recap, we have you covered from <strong>Clairo</strong> to <strong>Steve Lacy</strong>. Let&#39;s dive right in to this past weekend&#39;s new releases!</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <hr class="system-pagebreak" /> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:26px;"><strong>Clairo &ndash; &ldquo;Bags&rdquo;</strong></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> She&rsquo;s back -- and this time with a debut album! In the first single released from her upcoming album <em>Immunity</em>,<em> </em>the singer has found her sound. Claire Cottrill, who goes by the stage name of Clairo, gets really personal and raw on &ldquo;Bags&rdquo;. She is only 20 years old, but her experiences are very mature. She sings honestly and beautifully. If this single is any indication to what can be expected from her album, then I don&rsquo;t know how I am going to wait until August 2 to hear the rest! If you haven&rsquo;t hopped on the Clairo bandwagon, now is the time to do it!</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <hr class="system-pagebreak" /> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:26px;"><strong>Ed Sheeran &ndash; &ldquo;Cross Me&rdquo; (feat. Chance The Rapper &amp; PnB Rock)</strong></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> I&rsquo;ll be honest, when I heard Ed Sheeran and Chance The Rapper teamed up for a song, I did not know what to expect. The end result is very interesting, and for that reason alone, I think you should give it a listen. Immediately, the song hits me with a strong feature from Chance The Rapper that is repeated throughout the duration of the song. I have to applaud Ed Sheeran for stepping into new music paths, like his recent single with <strong>Justin Bieber</strong>, &ldquo;I Don&rsquo;t Care&rdquo;. This song is unlike any I have recently heard, and for that I think it is unique. We will definitely be hearing more of this song during the Summer.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <hr class="system-pagebreak" /> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:26px;"><strong>Laine Hardy &ndash; &ldquo;Flame&rdquo;</strong></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> What kind of fan would I be if I didn&rsquo;t include our new &ldquo;American Idol&rdquo; on this list?? In case you missed it, Laine Hardy won the title last week, and his single &ldquo;Flame&rdquo; has been playing nonstop (at least in my house). This song appeals to a wide variety of people; whether it&rsquo;s rock music fans or just people who enjoy a catchy tune, it is sure to be a hit. Upon winning &ldquo;American Idol&rdquo;, Laine has already signed a deal with Hollywood Records, so we will definitely be hearing more from the star in the near future!</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <hr class="system-pagebreak" /> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:26px;"><strong>Steve Lacy &ndash; &ldquo;Playground&rdquo;</strong></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> If there is one song you listen to on this list, I hope Steve Lacy&rsquo;s &ldquo;Playground&rdquo; is it. Just like Clairo, Steve Lacy is a young artist, but he is making a name for himself. And let me tell you, it seems as though this man can do it all. He&rsquo;s a singer, songwriter, AND producer, and only 21 years old!. If you listened to <strong>Vampire Weekend</strong>&rsquo;s new album <em>Father of the Bride</em>, you will recognize his name. &ldquo;Playground&rdquo; is fun and upbeat from the very beginning, and it will have you moving along to the beat the whole time. Lacy just released his album <em>Apollo XXI</em>, so if you have the time, give the whole record a listen! You won&rsquo;t regret it.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> What&rsquo;s your favorite song on this list?!</div>" } ]]></script> <a href="https://younghollywood.com/scene/monday-music-recap-ed-sheeran-clairo-more.html?limitstart=4&ajax=1&ajax=1" class="ai-next">Next</a>
