August is officially here, and today’s biggest artists are keeping the heat strong in the last month of summer with some great music releases.
Latto unveiled her third studio album, Sugar Honey Iced Tea, featuring contributions from Ciara, Coco Jones, Hunxho, Young Nudy, Teezo Touchdown, Megan Thee Stallion and Mariah the Scientist. Sugar Honey Iced Tea is the follow-up to 2022’s 777, which reached No. 15 on the Billboard 200 off the strength of its breakout single “Big Energy.”
Meanwhile, Shawn Mendes made his comeback with single “Why Why Why,” which leads the star’s upcoming album, Shawn. Last month, Mendes shared a message for fans about the project, writing, “Music really can be medicine. 2 years ago I felt like I had absolutely no idea who I was. A year ago I couldn’t step into a studio without falling into complete panic. So to be here right now with 12 beautiful finished songs feels like such a gift.”

Katy Perry also continued her 143 rollout with new single “Lifetimes.” Perry said in a press statement, “‘Lifetimes’ is a song about eternal love. It’s about finding that one deep and satisfying love of your life. A soulmate doesn’t always have to come in the form of a partner – it can come in all different ways, a child, a best friend, a pet. For me it is my daughter – I ask her every night, ‘Will you find me in every lifetime?’ She says yes, and I feel found. You’ll find each other, over and over again, for lifetimes.”

Last week, the Apollo theater in Harlem was selected as the first venue to receive a Kennedy Center Honor. The Apollo will receive a special award as an iconic American institution, right alongside the four individuals who are being honored — Bonnie Raitt; Grateful Dead; jazz trumpeter, pianist, and composer Arturo Sandoval; and filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola.
The prestigious honors will be presented on Dec. 8 at a ceremony at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. CBS will broadcast the two-hour program on Dec. 23.

“The Apollo, one of the most consequential, influential institutions in history, has elevated the voices of Black entertainment in New York City, nationally, and around the world, and launched the careers of legions of artists,” Kennedy Center chairman David M. Rubenstein said in a statement announcing the surprise selection.
This is a rare occasion that the Kennedy Center Honors has veered from its usual practice of honoring individuals. Six years ago, the program honored four key creators of the Broadway sensation Hamilton: An American Musical (Lin-Manuel Miranda, Thomas Kail, Alex Lacamoire, and Andy Blankenbuehler). Five years ago, it honored the legendary children’s TV program Sesame Street (the award was presented to the show’s creators, Lloyd Morrisett and Joan Ganz Cooney).
It’s easy to see why the Kennedy Center chose the Apollo to receive this honor. For 90 years, The Apollo has been a beacon of the Harlem community; a platform for artists from the worlds of jazz, swing, bebop, R&B, gospel, blues, soul, and hip-hop. Artists who have played The Apollo’s famed Amateur Night include Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday, James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight, Luther Vandross, H.E.R., D’Angelo, Lauryn Hill and Miri Ben-Ari.
Now that The Apollo has gotten the nod, what other venues would you like the Kennedy Center Honors to consider for recognition? Here are 20 choices, in alphabetical order:

Jimin first announced Muse in June, with BigHit Music writing in a statement that the album would showcase his “expanded musical spectrum.” “Following his first solo album, ‘Face,’ where he sought to explore his true identity, ‘Muse’ documents his journey in search of the source of his inspiration,” the release continued.
Trending on Billboard
The project features collaborations with Loco and Sofia Carson, with the K-pop icon experimenting with bold new sounds and styles throughout. The set follows 2023’s Face, which reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200.
Jimin first made his solo debut in 2018, when he dropped the single “Promise.” Five years later, he became the first South Korean soloist to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with “Like Crazy.”
Muse is just one of a few projects that Jimin has been working on amid his time in the South Korean military, in which all of his BTS bandmates — except for Jin, who finished his enlistment in June — are currently serving.
Jimin is also gearing up to release a docu-series titled Are You Sure?! with Jung Kook chronicling the two friends’ travels through parts of their home country, the U.S. and Japan.
Trailing behind Muse on this week’s poll is Stray Kids’ mini-album Ate, with 27% of the vote. The eight-member K-pop group dropped the project two months after the arrival of their Charlie Puth-assisted single “Lose My Breath,” marking the group’s third single of 2024.

With summer in full swing, a number of music stars are heating up the season with their new music releases.
Childish Gambino bid farewell with his final album, Bando Stone & The New World. There are some special guests peppered throughout the 17-track LP with assists from Jorja Smith, Yeat, Flo Milli, Steve Lacy, Foushee, Amaarae and more. “I always knew Childish Gambino was like a character, and on some level I wanted it to end,” he explained on Hot Ones. “I almost feel like Childish Gambino is like the boss from The Office, like, ‘That stuff worked 10 years ago.’ All that stuff worked, but now it’s like a different thing. It’s like, ‘Oh it’s a little sad, but its like, wow, the cycle kinda continues, which is great, I think.’”
From ends to beginnings, both Joe Jonas and Jade Thirlwall released solo songs outside of the Jonas Brothers and Little Mix, respectively. Thirlwall dropped “Angel of My Dreams,” while Joe Jonas unveiled “Work It Out,” the lead single from his upcoming album, Music for People Who Believe in Love.
