This episode of all songs considered comes to you from the NPR Music Podcast.

We've got new episodes of this show every Tuesday, Alt Latino, on Wednesday, and we close out every week in the NPR Music podcast with New Music Friday.

NPR Music. Also, of course, you're home for tiny desks and the tiny desk contest.

Dora Levitt.

I do love the tiny desk contest. And you have been,

you're one of the producers and you've been going through all of the entries. We're like,

where are we with that? We're close to wrapping it up, aren't we? I hope. I hope. Hopefully. What could

happen? Well, right now, you included, our judges are picking their very favorite entries. We call it our top shelf

series. Yeah, I've already found, I haven't seen one yet that I think like this could be the

winner, but... I actually, I found one that I did think could definitely be the winner today. I

said to El Manion, the other producer of the contest, to look at our Desk of the Day series, which is on NPR Music's Instagram Stories, where we highlight another great entry every weekday from now until when Top Shelf starts. But one of those entries, I was like, this could be the winner in my eyes. I loved it so much. Oh, wow. Well, I'm going to have to check that out. You're going to have to show it to me because the artist who won last year, Ruby Barrow, that was the first video I watched out of all of them. And I thought, did I just see the winner? Yeah. Well, in this episode of All Songs Consider, we are talking best new songs of the week. It's actually been a minute since we did a show where we update our running list of the year's best songs.

I thought we would start with this new cut that we just got

from Noah Khan. And I'm just going to say it right now. He's going to have a year. I mean, he's already

pretty big deal. Things really blew up for him back in 2022 when he released the album Stick Season.

I didn't know there was like another level for him, but I think he's found it on this new album that we know is coming now.

It's called The Great Divide.

I've already heard a handful of singles I got in advance on some of the music, and it is so good.

This new single that he just dropped is called Porchlight, and we can talk a little bit more about it

after we hear it. I would ask you how you've been

It's all over the internet

But hey, I mean you knew that after all

You're looking for an autopsy
