Pitchfork Selects Weekly Playlist
Every Monday, Pitchfork's staff publishes a new Selects playlist, gathering the songs its writers and editors are playing obsessively. The collection is a grab-bag with a single rule: each track should be one you'd gladly send to a friend. This week's edition spans from Davido's collaboration to Blonde Redhead's latest, selected by critics including Hannah Lindert, Philip Sherburne, and Jazz Monroe.
Davido and NO11 — 'Gimme Dat Ting'
Jazz Monroe chose Davido and NO11's 'Gimme Dat Ting' for the latest Pitchfork Selects playlist, the Monday feature where staff share their current listening. The track joins a mix that aims to feel like a friend's mixtape, with no genre constraints. This week's lineup also includes Shannon Lay and 730Turk, among others.
Shannon Lay — 'What Does It Mean?'
Hattie Lindert picked Shannon Lay's 'What Does It Mean?' for this week's Pitchfork Selects, the publication's weekly staff-curated playlist. The list is assembled with the goal of offering songs writers are enjoying, each chosen because it deserves forwarding to a friend. Lay's track appears alongside picks from Eden Aurelius and Amil Raja.
730Turk — 'Them vs. Me'
MS picked 730Turk's 'Them vs. Me' for inclusion in the latest Pitchfork Selects playlist. The Monday compilation reflects the staff's heavy listening, with no overarching theme beyond individual taste. This week's list also features Awfultop and Marina Herlop.

Ninajirachi and Porter Robinson — 'WannaCry'
