Fifteen-year-old singer-songwriter Billie Eilish proves she’s not just a one-hit wonder with follow-up single “COPYCAT,” showing a dark, hip-hop-ready side. Aussie indie favorite Vance Joy brings the feels on the folksy “Lay It On Me.” And _Modern Family_‘s Sarah Hyland debuts a singing ability on a pop-EDM track. ### “Fetish,” Selena Gomez feat. Gucci Mane Selena Gomez continues to solidify her sound with another slow-burning, seductive pop song. Like [“Bad Liar”](http://time.com/4794885/song-of-the-summer-2017/item/bad-liar-selena-gomez/) and “Hands to Myself” before it, “Fetish” allows Gomez to play with the distinctive textures and rhythms of her voice, developing into a sinuous, alluring track that smartly dispenses with overbearing production, instead focusing in on the star attraction. ### “COPYCAT,” Billie Eilish There’s something a little bit eerie about Billie Eilish in “COPYCAT,” and it’s not that she’s a talented artist who writes her own music at only 15\. It’s the minor-key drive that gives this insidiously catchy new song its appeal. At times whispery, at times bold, Eilish twists her voice deftly around the dark melody and trap-influenced beat. Luckily, there’s more to come: her debut EP drops in August. ### “Lay It On Me,” Vance Joy Settle in on a summer night with Vance Joy’s “Lay It On Me,” a folksy, acoustic tune from the [Aussie singer-songwriter](http://entertainment.time.com/2013/08/29/artist-to-watch-vance-joy/?iid=sr-link1) that builds irresistibly to a chorus replete with joyous horns. Vance Joy, real name James Keogh, is the artist behind hit single “Riptide” back in 2013\. Like that one, “Lay It On Me” finds a happy medium of easy melody and emotional depth. ### “A Lie,” French Montana feat. The Weeknd, Max B If you’re looking for a new Weeknd fix, get it on “A Lie,” off of French Montana’s stacked new album _Jungle Rules._ While Abel Tesfaye leads things off with his signature vaporous vocals, French grounds the track with nimble rap. For fans of French’s viral hit [“Unforgettable,”](http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/hip-hop/7767492/french-montana-unforgettable-dance-challenge) “A Lie” is a good place to go for the same combination of light backing track and unhurried verses. ### “Know You Anymore,” Bo Talks feat. Sarah Hyland “Know You Anymore” is an easy, funky pop-EDM track; no hard drops here, just some pleasantly bright production and catchy melody. It’s also the first outing for [_Modern Family_ ](http://time.com/3072793/sara-hyland-teen-choice-awards-host/)star Sarah Hyland as a singer — and she makes a nice splash, debuting a voice that plays well with the duet track’s light, twisting feel. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4859050/5-songs-you-need-to-listen-to-this-week-19/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4859050/5-songs-you-need-to-listen-to-this-week-19/"},"headline":"5 Songs You Need to Listen to This Week (14 Jul 2017)","datePublished":"2017-07-14T22:02:31.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:45:25.297Z","description":"New music from Selena Gomez, French Montana with The Weekend, Billie Eilish, and Vance Joy, and the singing debut of Sarah Hyland.","url":"https://time.com/4859050/5-songs-you-need-to-listen-to-this-week-19/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Music","Selena Gomez"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4859050/5-songs-you-need-to-listen-to-this-week-19/","name":"5 Songs You Need to Listen to This Week (14 Jul 2017)"}}]}] ```
