SPOTTED ON NEW MUSIC FRIDAY PLAYLIST

Since “Inside the Lines” is a sports term in addition to being Mike Perry’s new single and album title, we’ve got a lineup of metaphors. Perry f/Casso’s “Inside the Lines” (DF/Sony Music) is batting lead-off on Spotify’s New Music Friday playlist as the Chicago Cubs stand one game away from meeting the Cleveland Indians in the World Series. While waiting for Game 6 of the NLCS, let’s see what else Spotify has stepping into the batter’s box.

Alex Da Kid f/ X Ambassadors, Elle King & Wiz Khalifa’s “Not Easy” (KIDinaKORNER/RCA), Little Mix’s “Shout Out to My Ex” (SYCO), Alan Walker’s remix of Sia f/Mood Melodies’ “Move Your Body” (Monkey Puzzle/RCA), Lady Gaga’s “A-YO” (Interscope), Pentatonix’ “Hallelujah” (RCA), the Gigamesh remix of Rihanna’s “Love on the Brain” (Westbury Road/Roc Nation), Little Big Town’s “Better Man” (Capitol Nashville), James Arthur’s “Remember Who I Was” (Sony), Common f/Bilal’s “Home” (Def Jam), The Flaming Lips’ “The Castle” (Warner Bros.), Flume f/Tove Lo’s “Say It” (Mom+Pop), an acoustic version of Dua Lipa’s “Blow Your Mind (Mwah)” (Warner Music).
