The clocks have been pushed forward an hour, giving us more daylight as we head into the warmer months — and a slew of music stars are heating up the season with fresh releases.
Kicking things off is Chappell Roan, who stepped into her Missouri roots with her country leaning track, “The Giver.” The Grammy-winning superstar announced the single earlier this month via Instagram, sharing a photo of herself dressed up in construction gear. “I have such a special place in my heart for country music,” she wrote. “I grew up listening to it every morning and afternoon on my school bus and had it swirling around me at bon fires, grocery stores and karaoke bars.” The song marks Roan’s first release since her hit, “Good Luck, Babe!,” which she dropped in April last year.
Haim also made their grand return with their breezy, summer-ready single “Relationships.” Haim’s last studio album, Women in Music Pt. III, was released in 2020. It reached No. 13 on the Billboard 200 and received a Grammy nomination for album of the year.

Also in the pop world, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco dropped the sultry “Sunset Blvd,” inspired by the iconic Hollywood street where they had their first date. The couple’s joint album, I Said I Love You First, is set to arrive on March 21.
Over in hip-hop, Playboi Carti dropped his long-awaited third studio album, MUSIC. The project arrives five years after his last LP, Whole Lotta Red, which topped the Billboard 200 and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.
That’s just the beginning. More star-studded music releases this week include Sleep Token’s “Emergence,” Lil Nas X’s “HOTBOX,” LE SSERAFIM’s Hot, Lizzo’s “Still Bad,” Peso Pluma’s “RARI” and Charley Crockett’s Lonesome Drifter.
