NOW HEAR THIS: Rihanna hasn’t gone soft yet, No Joy move like ocean surf

Now Hear This is a daily dive into the standout songs of the last 24 hours. Today, Rihanna takes a 180 turn, new No Joy washes ashore, Ceremony become Interpol.

Rihanna, "Bitch Better Have My Money"

After teasing fans with a preview to a new release on Instagram last night, Rihanna reclaims her bad gal status with the "trap goddess" banger "Bitch Better Have My Money." BBHMM is hard and fierce — a complete 180 from her latest collaborative soft-rock, semi-experimental hit "FourFiveSeconds"  and her rudest track yet. "Kamikaze if you think that you gon' knock me off the top," blasts Riri. BBHMM will be featured on Rihanna's up-coming 8th studio album, rumoured R8. - Ebyan Abdigir

No Joy, "Everything New"

"Everything New" moves like ocean surf: Laura Lloyd and Jasamine White-Gluz's twin vocals roll in and wash up and recede into lace; guitar strings twinkle like bits of spray scattering sunlight; the bass is the undercurrent, the engine that keeps the tune's whole ebb and flow in motion. But waves, as you know, are erosive; they drag away the shoreline, pull by pull. It's melancholy at its heart. "Time," indeed, "will subside." - Chris Hampton

No Joy's third full-length, More Faithful, is out June 9 via Arts & Crafts.

Ceremony, "The Separation" + "The Understanding"

A two-for from Californian one-time hardcore act Ceremony, who have apparently become, like, totally obsessed with Ian Curtis and his band Joy Division. "Have you heard of them? They're like sooooo good."

Whatever. The Manchester Glower — maybe the most contagious disease affecting bands in the 21st century — has claimed another. These guys happen to wear it quite well. Gimme this over new Interpol. - Chris Hampton

Ceremony's The L-Shaped Man is out May 19 on Matador.
