Pretty much everything by Lizzo! Her collaboration with Missy is a real rump shaker.

Came to suggest Lizzo too! Also Janelle Monae's recent album Dirty Computer totally fits the bill and is just great.

Huntza's latest album Xilema. The official music video for the song Buruz Behera ("Upside Down" / "Topsy-Turvy"). The songs are in Basque. The band has Spanish translations available.

Sofi Tukker! Maybe you heard Best Friend or Batshit on an iPhone commercial. Playa Grande is the latest one of theirs I heard, a collaboration with Bomba Estereo.

Here's a link to my ongoing 2019 new music playlist on spotify, which is mostly upbeat.

Second Superorganism. Also loving Rainbow Kitten Surprise. The most recent Vampire Weekend release is catchy and upbeat. Same for Everything Now by Arcade Fire. Chong the Nomad is a recent favorite but is, let's say, pretty quirky. You might like quirky?

I can also agree with my youngest daughters on Billie Eilish, Halsey, and the new Carly Rae Jepsen.

Boasty by Wiley is insidiously catchy and infectious, and it features an inexplicable guest verse from heartthrob Idris Elba.
