Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, and the rest of the new songs released this week that are worthy of your ears and attention

“Summer Girl,” their first release since 2017 album Something to Tell You, is inspired by one of the best pop songs of all time: “Walk On The Wild Side.” It’s perfect, given Haim grew up in the ’90s, as much influenced by the rhythmic world of hip-hop giants such as A Tribe Called Quest as they would have been by New York ’70s punk. With a jazzy saxophone line and a “doot-doo-doo” chorus, sung as though reaching for a familiar tune, the trio do not hide from the fact.
The album’s best moment — there are many very good ones — comes in the form of “Dawn Chorus,” a percussionless, nearly ambient meditation on death and regret and loss. Over a lone synth echo, Yorke half sings, half talks in a mixture of overworked phrases like “Come on, chop chop” and “Come on, do your worst,” while breaking into breathtaking moments of incisiveness.
