Everyone has a specific preference when it comes to music types. Some prefer country, rap, or somewhere in between.

Looking for a new song can be difficult,  especially if you don’t know where to look.

Here are a few recently released songs to check out.

“Shape of You” – Ed Sheeran

After taking a break to record his third album, “÷ ,” Sheeran released this single on March 3.

This song is upbeat and tends to be more of a dance beat.

Sheeran provides multiple types of songs through his new album, from upbeat to slow and relaxed music.

On the same album as “Shape of You,” this fast-paced song was also released on March 3.

This song is along the lines of Sheerans upbeat hits.

“÷” had many other songs that I would recommend to anyone.

“Paris” – The Chainsmokers

This dance hit was released on April 7.

This song’s like a song you might listen to when hanging out with a group of friends while driving. It is easy to see this song being a song put on a summer playlist.

Although there is some drama behind this song, the meaning goes beyond it.
