First up is Ariana Grande's "Thank U, Next," one of the most emotionally mature breakup songs you've ever heard, followed by Lil Peep's posthumous, poetic "Sex With My Ex." And in the twisting-the-knife zone, there's Madison Beer's "Hurts Like Hell" ft. Offset.
We also talk Imagine Dragons' new anthem "Bad Liar" (which is sadly not a Selena Gomez cover), 21 Savage's theatrical whispering on Metro Boomin's "Don't Come Out the House" and a sludgy outtake of the Beatles' "Helter Skelter" from the new White Album anniversary edition.
