It seemed like this was the week of comebacks as we heard brand-new tunes from David Bowie and Destiny's Child, a previously unheard Jimi Hendrix track dropped, and Justin Timberlake made it clear that he's ready to return.
There were also plenty of solid tracks from up-and-coming rappers, a super-group led by a certain member of Radiohead, and a superbly talented British producer. You'll find those tunes and more in our roundup of the best songs of the week.

Future f/ Drake "Fo Real"
Future and Mike Will Made It combinations have been on point for quite a while now, and that trend continues today with "Fo Real." Add in a short verse from Octobers Very Own Drizzy Drake and you got the makings for a banger. Future talks his usual game on this and spikes the expectations for his upcoming mixtape through the roof. Now all the game needs is some more solo music from Drake.
Lapalux "Guuurl"
After releasing EP after EP, Lapalux is finally putting together a full-length for Brainfeeder and yesterday we got our first preview. That first Nostalchic track is entitled “Guuurl” and it only makes us more excited about what this young producer has in store. “Guuurl” starts small and grows into a rich, layered song that proves there’s a space between R&B and electronica that isn’t chillwave.
David Bowie "Where Are We Now?"
Atoms For Peace "Judge Jury and Executioner"
For their latest track off next month's Amok, rock super-group Atoms for Peace dropped "Judge Jury and Executioner." Frontman Thom Yorke leads the way on the electronics-heavy tune, which really wouldn't sound out of place in his solo discography. That's clearly not a knock though—Yorke's songwriting is as sharp as ever, and his bandmates know exactly how to complement him.
Young Scooter f/ Trinidad Jame$ "I Can't Wait"
Young Scooter and Trinidad Jame$ represent the growing trap influence coming out of Atlanta. And on their new track "I Can't Wait," they prove why they warrant the hype. Scooter begins the song talking his usual money talk and swags out all over this heavy production. Then comes in Mr. Trinidad, who delivers a near perfect hook combined with a monster verse to set this track off. More collaborations from these two would be greatly appreciated.
