Albums are becoming passé. They’re not gone, but singles and EPs are the new trend. Artists and bands release new music, even if there isn’t an album for months down the road—if it all. Today, many music fans prefer to stream (that is, Apple Music and Spotify) instead of buying the full album or the individual song. Whatever--or however--you listen to music, we have nine songs that have recently come out that you must stream or buy today.

“The Breakup Song” by Francesca Battistelli
Francesca takes a different approach with, "The Break Up Song." The piece has an R&B swing feel, similar to Kelly Clarkson's 2017 single, "Move You." While Battistelli has switched gears, or should I say, refined her sound, her beautiful vocals continue to be vibrant and familiar. "The Break Up Song" gets a gold star.
 
“joy.” by for KING & COUNTRY
for KING & COUNTRY has become one of CCM’s favorite bands. These two brothers know how to make quality music. The band’s new single, “joy.,” has already become a chart topper. Expect their third album to drop this year. 
 
“Remember to Remember” by Steven Curtis Chapman 
“Shattered” by Blanca
Blanca delivers a heartfelt ballad that gently moves the listener into the arms of Jesus. If you like this song, listen to Tricia Brock’s “This I Know.” Both songs are tearjerkers, but the message of overcoming is loud and clear in the lyrics.
