Which New Music Release Is Your Favorite This Week? Vote!
As summer continues to heat up, stars such as Cardi B, Lorde and Benson Boone spent their Friday (June 20) dropping new singles and albums.
Cardi kept her fans fed with the long-awaited release of her latest single “Outside,” a scathing diss track aimed directly at her soon-to-be-ex-husband Offset. Amidst the many fiery bars the Bronx-native drops throughout the track, she saves some of the best for the songs opening moments, referring to her ex and his ilk as “Good-for-nothing, low-down dirty dogs, I’m convinced/ Next time you see your mama, tell her how she raised a b—h.”
Meanwhile, Lorde hit the nail on the head with her final preview of Virgin on “Hammer,” a pulsating pop anthem that serves as “an ode to city life and horniness,” as she said on X. The synth-heavy production sees Lorde embracing her fluidity throughout the song, as she sings on the pre-chorus that “I burn and I sing and I scheme and I dance/ Some days I’m a woman, some days I’m a man.”
Elsewhere, back-flipper-in-chief Benson Boone delivers his much-anticipated sophomore album, American Heart, featuring previous singles “Sorry I’m Here For Someone Else” and “Mystical Magical,” while Public Enemy take to the streets with the group’s new protest single, “March Madness,” railing against gun violence, corrupt politicians and police violence.
Also this week, Karol G celebrates her past as well as her future with the sunny new album Tropicoqueta, Haim turn up the volume on their established pop-rock sound with their fourth studio album I Quit, Megan Moroney laughs off a loser ex who comes crawling back on “6 Months Later” and Sombr finds himself pining for a love that never was on his latest single “We Never Dated.”
