The Contenders, Vol. 9: The music of 'Sinners,' hyper-pop and more

Jane Remover's "Dancing With Your Eyes Closed" is one of the songs we can't stop playing this week.

Jane Remover's "Dancing With Your Eyes Closed" is one of the songs we can't stop playing this week.

Every other week or so, we update our running list of the songs we can't stop listening to — the tracks we love so much they're contenders for a spot on our best-of-the-year lists.

On this episode, that includes a staggering new blues cut performed by Miles Caton for the Sinners soundtrack called "I Lied to You." We've also got the head-scrambling hyperpop of Jane Remover, Foxwarren's first new music in nearly seven years, Mal Blum, Men I Trust and more.

NPR Music editor Sheldon Pearce joins host Robin Hilton to continue our celebration of All Songs Considered's 25th anniversary with a look at some of the show's defining music from 2010. And be sure to listen for the end of the program to get your weekly reset.
