#HitsOfTomorrow: Petit Biscuit, Olly Alexander, Liam Payne and More
This week’s rundown of the ‘should-be’ hits includes new music from Albin Lee Meldau, Cat Burns, Griff, Trey Lewis and others
We start a new month with some new Miley Cyrus. Teaming up with Pharrell Williams, Cyrus gives us “Doctor (Work It Out)” – while it’s no “Flowers”, it is a slice of urban pop that feels so 10 years ago (reportedly this was written pre-Bangerz era). Nonetheless the track still works cause Cyrus’ vocals are always strong.
And speaking of eras of before, Cardi B returns with “Like What (Freestyle)” that prominently samples Missy Elliott’s “She’s A Bitch.” The rapper hasn’t been heard since her tepidly-received collab with Megan Thee Stallion “Bongos” and the single is likely to revive the artist and shoot her back to the top.
Tracks also likely to impact the charts in a big way are Twenty-One Pilots “Overcompensate” and Charli XCX’s “Von Dutch.” With that said, let’s have a look at this week’s #HITSOFTOMORROW, the SHOULD-BE hits of the week.
