celeb news RS: Doja's Vegas, Madonna's Frozen Remix among best songs of 2022

[The Second Coming]

The Best Songs of 2022 So Far

 

Doja Cat, 'Vegas'

Leiber and Stoller wrote it, Big Mama Thornton sang it, Elvis covered it — and who better than Doja Cat to rewrite the whole tangled history of American pop music by remaking “Hound Dog” in her own uproariously raw style? Snapping rapid-fire insults at a down-bad dude while Thornton’s voice wails in a sample, she’s an avenging angel with bars for days. —S.V.L.

 

 

Madonna Vs Sickick, 'Frozen (Fireboy DML Remix)'

When Canadian EDM producer Sickick made Madonna’s gothiest Ray of Light gem into a chopped-n-screwed TikTok sensation last year, it was only a matter of time before she got in on the fun. By enlisting Nigerian star Fireboy DML to duet with her on this moody, soulful extension of the remix, she showed the same savvy about new currents in global pop that made the original song a hit in ’98. Turns out “Frozen” is forever. —S.V.L.

Some other ATRL faves that made the list:

 

Megan Thee Stallion, 'Plan B'

Nicki Minaj feat. Lil Baby, 'Bussin'

Camila Cabello and María Becerra, 'Hasta los Dientes'

Sky Ferreira, 'Don’t Forget'

Camila Cabello and María Becerra, 'Hasta los Dientes'

A Latin-pop earworm featuring rising star Becerra, “Hasta los Dientes” showcases Cabello’s natural ability to make the sounds of her culture accessible to any audience, regardless of language. Its interplanetary music video — and the song’s sticky chorus — make the collab a standout moment on her new album, Familia. —T.M
