new music from ⟢ Beyoncé, Kelela, Future, The Rolling Stones, Cage The Elephant, Malcolm Todd, Genesis Owusu, Jungle, ROLE MODEL… Beyoncé surprised released MORNING DEW (DONK) earlier this week, kicking off a 60-day countdown to the 20th anniversary of ‘B’Day.’ It’s hypnotic and moody, and that opening line sounds like it could be an easter egg for Act iii ☔️🎸 we also got new albums from Kelela, Future, The Rolling Stones, Suki Waterhouse, Adam Lambert, and Bring Me The Hori

new music from ⟢ Madonna, Justin Bieber, La Roux, Rico Nasty, Jon Hopkins & Imogen Heap, Sienna Spiro, Sophia Stel, Fat Dog, Ken Carson… Madonna’s return with Confessions II completely exceeded my expectations. I was expecting another great dance record, but what surprised me most was how vulnerable she is. beneath all the production, there’s a real sense of reflection and acceptance that makes some of these songs hit much harder than I expected. after spending most of last n

new music from ⟢ Charli xcx, Phoebe Bridgers, Ryan Beatty, Steve Lacy / SZA, beabadoobee, Katy Perry, Madeon, Carly Rae Jepsen, WILLOW… this is one of the most stacked weeks we’ve had all year. Ryan Beatty released his new album ‘Sweet Fortune’. sonically it picks up where ‘Calico’ left off, but the production feels much bolder and more expansive. i really loved how the writing centers around love, vulnerability, and the fear of losing someone. definitely an album that’s goin

new music from ⟢ FKA twigs, YG, Tyla, Kelela, Tierra Whack, sweetgirlvoiced, Dawn Richard, Channel Tres, Big Freedia with SOPHIE, Majid Jordan… i love Tierra Whack’s new album ‘WHACK’S MUSEUM’. she had one of my favorite features on Jill Scott’s album and her 2018 project ‘Whack World’ still goes hard. this new album feels like a rap mixtape that’s constantly changing shape, with sharp storytelling, personality and genuinely great production. one of the most creative voices i

new music from ⟢ Olivia Rodrigo, Interpol, Madonna, Chanpan, Josh Coneay, ANOTR, Tove Lo, Infinity Song, Bebe Rexha, Rose Gray… Olivia Rodrigo’s new album ‘you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love’ is obviously the biggest release of the week. after one full listen, “expectations”, “stupid song”, “my way”, and “what’s wrong with me” are my favorites rn, but what always impresses me most is her songwriting. her albums never feel bloated or overstuffed, every song serves a pur

new music from ⟢ Steve Lacy, Madonna, Malcolm Todd, horsegiirL, Joji, Tinashe, Ellie Goulding, Kelela.. Steve Lacy’s new single “the feeling” is funky, psychedelic, and a little understated instrumentally, but there’s so much emotion packed into it. i’ve been replaying ‘Gemini Rights’ a lot lately, and this feels like the perfect next step. if this is any indication of what we’re getting in July, we’re in for a really good summer. and if you want more Lacy, he also shows up o

Ariana Grande officially kicked off her petal era with “hate that i made you love me” and i really love her tone on this. it feels more mature and lived-in, and sonically it fits the aesthetic of the album so well for me. excited to sit with the rest of this project and hoping for more rnb. also was really surprised to see we’re getting a second album from WILLOW this year ‘petal rock black’ was already one of my favorite albums this year. her first single “Talk On The Hill”

Ariana Grande surprise released the 10 year anniversary edition of ‘Dangerous Woman’ with “Knew Better Part Two” officially getting released after floating around online for years. i love the updated version she put together for this release, it feels nostalgic while still adding something new to the era instead of just reuploading the album again. still really enjoying where Charli is heading with this new era. i love this more laid back sound from her, it’s somehow calming

Drake released three different projects last night, so i’m still sitting with all of them, but “Fortworth,” “Little Birdie,” “Stuck,” and “Prioritizing” were some immediate standouts on first listen. also really loved the new releases from Tove Lo, Dua Saleh, GIVEŌN, Rostam + Clairo, Nick Hakim, ANOTR, Shakira + Burna Boy, and Kaleena Zanders. and of course Gaga finally released the MAYHEM REQUIEM live album through Apple Music.. if you don’t have Apple Music, definitely watc

Kelela might have my favorite release of the week with her new single “linknb”. these first two songs from her upcoming album have been incredible so far and she somehow keeps refining her sound without losing what makes her music feel so immersive. it sounds futuristic, emotional, and a little cold.. it’s everything i love about her music. Charli xcx also dropped her new song “Rock Music” and it sounds like something that would work in an album tracklist but not a lead singl

New Lady Gaga, Madonna / Sabrina Carpenter, Madeon, The Black Keys, Zara Larsson, Isaiah Rashad… Gaga is back with 3 new songs in The Devil Wears Prada 2 soundtrack… my favorite of the three is easily “Shape of a Woman,” she just knows how to write a catchy chorus. Madonna officially released her first single from ‘Confessions II’ featuring Sabrina Carpenter in a super catchy disco-house inspired song “Bring Your Love.” Love Spells dropped one of the prettiest bedroom pop son

new music from Kehlani, Foo Fighters, Madonna, MPH, The Kid LAROI, Conan Gray, Beck… Kehlani released her new self titled album and it’s stacked with insane features Usher, Missy Elliott, Brandy, Leon Thomas, Lil Wayne all added something special to each track. Foo Fighters also released their new album ‘Your Favorite Toy’ somehow this was my first full run through from them, and I definitely wanna circle back to it. Madonna also dropped a sleek disco-house leaning track that

ROSALÍA, Nine Inch Noize, Olivia Rodrigo, John Summit, Slayyyter, Jessie Ware, Adela, BNYX, Not For Radio… 😰 ROSALÍA added a few new songs to an already great album with LUX (Complete Works), really feels like a proper extension of this era. ADÉLA dropped a slick electronic pop song “KGB” still can’t get over the music video for this, put her on every festival stage rn. Nine Inch Noize’s hybrid project carried that same energy from their coachella set into the album, part li

Alabama Shakes + The Strokes 🔊🔊🔊🔊 KATSEYE, Momo Boyd, Wesley Joseph, Laufey, a lot of range across this drop, there’s something for every mood. still deciding which project to get into for a full review… Momo Boyd or Wesley Joseph ((d[-_-]b)) swipe through for some standouts

been running through everything since last night and Arlo Parks really took it for me with her new album 'Ambibiguous Desire' it's a different direction for her sonically, but i really enjoyed her take on these electronic/club sounds… so many standout moments from start to finish, definitely recommend a proper listen here. also some good releases from Thundercat, Weezer, Ravyn Lenae… a lot to sit with this weekend. swipe through for some of the standouts full playlist on spot

this week is ridiculous. so much range, personality, and production across the board is just hitting. been bouncing between a few of these last night/this morning. Slayyyter, RAYE, Robyn, Snail Mail, Jungle, fcukers and Jim Legxacy... so many good moments on here. this week feels especially stacked with a lot of artists really leaning into their sound and pushing things forward. swipe through for my standouts this week and i have the full updated weekly playlist on Spotify an
