Hello!: Megan Thee Stallion, “Captain Hook” – I’ve seen some chatter lately about Megan Thee Stallion being one-note, a sentiment I think is the result of months of exposure above all else. But I sincerely hope that “Captain Hook” shuts the haters up, because we really get everything that makes Megan great in this track. The beat bangs, the video is cute, and the lyrics are delightfully dirty. Frankly, “I need a Mr. Clean, make that pussy beam/Okay, I just might need a baker, make that pussy cream” made me blush, and nothing makes me blush. —Ashley Reese
I mean, it’s fine: Little Mix, “Wasabi” – Little Mix’s latest single is a kiss-off to anyone who thought they might’ve broken up—which is fine, but surely there are more pressing issues to push back on? Their harmonies are as tight as ever, and I appreciate the self-celebration here… I just hope the next record has a chorus as one of the most underrated pop bangers of the last decade, “Black Magic.” —Maria Sherman
