It’s not quite Halloween yet, but Morgan Wallen, ROSÉ x Bruno Mars and dozens more artists have an abundance of treats for fans this week.
Friday (Oct. 18) was packed with new music releases, from Wallen’s new single “Love Somebody” — on which he mixes his well-proven country expertise with experimental Latin rhythms — to the BLACKPINK star and Silk Sonic hitmaker’s fresh collaboration “Apt.,” which finds the duo mixing energetic chants with hooky pop melodies. Gracie Abrams also expanded her breakthrough The Secret of Us era ahead of her return as opener for Taylor Swift on the final Eras Tour leg with a deluxe edition featuring four new tracks — “Cool,” “That’s So True,” “I Told You Things” and “Packing It Up” — while Bon Iver partially ended his five-year album drought with the release of Sable, a reflective four-track EP that builds on the greatness he established years ago with his first two albums: For Emma, Forever Ago and Bon Iver.
Other highly anticipated new projects that hit streaming services this week include Yeat’s Lyfestyle, Farruko’s Cvrbon Vrmor, Kylie Minogue’s Tension II and Riley Green’s Rockman. Plus, fans got new singles from Wizkid and Brent Faiyaz — who trade sauntering lines on the chill R&B bop “Piece of My Heart” ahead of the former’s upcoming album Morayo — and Mk.gee, who dropped a harmony-packed celebratory anthem titled “Rockman.”
From cool collaborations to brand new albums and singles, this week brings a well of new music to enjoy. Vote for your favorite new release below.
