New Music Friday: Listen To New Releases From Lana Del Rey, Rauw Alejandro, Quavo & Lil Baby And More

Festival season is upon us and New Music Friday is filled with songs and albums to prepare fans for Coachella and Stagecoach — not to mention the myriad other fests happening around the country in the coming weeks and months.

New albums for the week include Jon Pardi's Honkytonk Hollywood, Magnolia Park's VAMP, Bootsy Collins' Album of the Year #1 Funkateer, SiR's Heavy Deluxe: THE LIGHT, Röyksopp's True Electric and Ken Carson's More Chaos.

Elsewhere, JENNIE enlists Peggy Gou for a punchy remix of "like JENNIE" and Mariah Carey kicks off her 20th anniversary festivities for The Emancipation of Mimi with KAYTRANADA's celebratory remix of "Don't Forget About Us." Blake Shelton is determined to "Stay Country or Die Tryin'" on the latest preview from his upcoming LP, For Recreational Use Only, and Cautious Clay drops "Father Time (10am)" from his own forthcoming project, The Hours: Morning.

Below, press play on 10 new releases worth checking out, including a long-awaited lead single from Lana Del Rey, Rauw Alejandro's celebration of his beloved homeland, Bon Iver's first full-length in over half a decade, and more.

Lana Del Rey — "Henry, come on"

More than a year after first teasing its existence on social media, Lana Del Rey has finally unveiled her new single "Henry, come on."

The wistful ballad co-written by Luke Laird filters is tinged with country flourishes as the 11-time GRAMMY nominee muses over a relationship with an Icarus flying too close to the sun and later coquettishly confesses, "All these country singers and their lonely rides to Houston/ Doesn't really make for the best, you know, settle down type."

Ostensibly, "Henry, come on" serves as the first taste of Del Rey's forthcoming tenth studio set, The Right Person Will Stay, which is set for release May 21 — less than a month after she headlines the Palomino stage at Stagecoach on April 25.

On his new track "Carita Linda," Rauw Alejandro takes inspiration from the rhythms of Puerto Rican bomba music to create a rhythmic fusion of the modern and the traditional.

After debuting the Spanish-language song live on the opening night of his ongoing Cosa Nuestra World Tour, the Puerto Rican superstar also dropped a gorgeous music video for the song on Thursday night (April 10).

Described in a release as "a love letter to the Isla del Encanto," the Martin Seipel and El Zorro-directed visual puts the island's culture proudly on display. Note the folkloric plena music, Boricua vejigantes characters and traditional dance, as well as Alejandro himself performing on horseback.

Quavo and Lil Baby revel in their status as two of rap music's biggest stars on their new collaboration, "Legends," while also name-dropping the likes of Nipsey Hussle, Lil Durk and Takeoff throughout the song's lyrics.

The track's music video checks all the boxes of imagery associated with hip-hop superstardom, with the pair surrounded by video vixens, taking luxury sports cars for a late-night joyride, partying it up on a boat and flashing wads of cash for the camera. However, the clip also rather cleverly pokes holes in the impossible beauty standards for women, as some of the video vixens appear with grotesquely blown-up features or altogether pixelated as they party with the rappers.

Bon Iver continues the musical journey they began on their 2024 EP Sable with SABLE, fABLE — the indie rock outfit's fifth album and first full-length release since 2019's vGRAMMY-nominated I, I.

While the original EP is included as the double album's first disc, the nine new tracks added to the project feature collaborations with Dijon and Flock of Dimes ("Day One") and Danielle Haim ("If Only I Could Wait").

Additionally, Bon Iver unfurled a music video for the final tracks on the album, "There's a Rhythm / Au Revoir," on Friday morning. The seven-minute video finds frontman Justin Vernon at home in a cozy cabin before taking to the snow-covered forest for a walk. Eventually, the singer/songwriter reaches cactus-dotted desert and the palm trees of Southern California as he sings, "I went to see you there in Spain/ That was a month ago and change/ And now I think you need some space/ I will pause and stand with spade."

MARINA isn't letting a single soul dull her iridescent sparkle on "CUNTISSIMO," the latest single off her just-announced sixth album PRINCESS OF POWER (out June 6).

Ratcheting the BPM up to a relentless staccato, the indie pop chanteuse's latest offering plays out as a self-realized evolution of her 2012 Electra Heart-era hit "How to Be a Heartbreaker." Though, this time, the instruction manual is all about setting boundaries, protecting your peace and reclaiming your inherent feminine power.

Things that are "CUNTISSIMO"? As MARINA sings on the joyful chorus, "Salma Hayek in the sun/ Louise and Thelma on the run/ Your ex is hitting you up/ But you no longer give a f–/ Leaving that loser on read/ Don't let him back in your bed/ 'Cause your energy is precious/ Not your fault he fell in love."

Jelly Roll makes his acting debut on the small screen Sunday night with an appearance on the CBS drama "Fire Country," so naturally, the country-rap star has added a song titled to the show's soundtrack as well.

"Dreams Don't Die" lays the four-time GRAMMY nominee's vulnerabilities bare as he laments, "I know how to hurt/ And I know how to lie/ I've been doing it all my life" in his signature growl. However, fans will have to tune into the episode to find out just how the track connects to the arc of his character Noah, a former convict attempting to turn his life around as a healthcare worker.

"While he's telling the story of someone who's gone through some difficult things in their personal life, his character will really leave a big impact on [the show]," "Fire Country" star Max Thieriot teased ahead of the episode, while Jelly Roll added in a separate promo, "I've been singing about redemption, now I'm stepping into the fire to live it."

Rema channels 2000s R&B and electric guitar-fueled rock in equal measure on his new single "Bout U," the second track to arrive this year (after February's "Baby (Is It a Crime)") as a follow-up to his GRAMMY-nominated sophomore album, Heis.

On the song — which arrives just ahead of Rema's Coachella debut — the Nigerian star raves over a girl he just can't get enough of, proudly declaring, "Gyal blazing, gyal 10, gyal A-list/ And her waist is figure 8, she put that work in/ Change your life six figures, she deserve it/ Got gyalis around the world but she my favorite."

In between defying gravity as Elphaba in the Wicked movies, performing at the 2025 GRAMMY Awards and nabbing her third Academy Award nomination, Cynthia Erivo somehow found time to record a new solo album, I Forgive You, which is slated for release on June 6.

The Broadway star gave fans a second preview of what to expect on the full-length in the form of "Worst of Me," a gripping post-mortem on a cold and painful relationship that's now, thankfully, in her rearview mirror. "I wish I was honest for a moment/ Bruises only heal when you apply some love and tenderness/ You could cut me deeper than the ocean/ But I refuse to drown, I'm coming up/ I wanna breathe again," she vows before launching into the song's heartbreaking chorus.

Green Day get wild on "Smash It Like Belushi," the first bonus track off their upcoming Saviors (édition de luxe), which will arrive May 23 — nearly a year and a half after the original version's release in January 2024.

Referencing the mixture of heroin and cocaine that tragically killed comic legend John Belushi in the early '80s, the song puts Billie Joe Armstong in a catchy call-and-response with bandmate Mike Dirnt as he snarls, "Feeling like a melee today/ Smash it like Belushi, ah yeah/ Doin' the Watusi, ahh/ Lookin' trigger happy/ Everybody panic, lucid/ Semi-automatic, ah yeah/ Kickin' in a window, ahh/ Murder in the front row."

Along with "Smash It Like Belushi," the deluxe edition of Saviors will also contain four additional new tracks including "Stay Young," "F–k Off" and "Ballyhoo" and acoustic renditions of "Suzie Chapstick" and "Father to Son."

Trixie Mattel featuring VINCINT — "Supermodel (You Betta Work)"

Sashay, shantay! With their joint set at Coachella's famous Do Lab just hours away, Trixie Mattel and VINCINT teamed up to give fans an early surprise by covering RuPaul's "Supermodel (You Betta Work)."

The pair's celebratory reworking of Mother Ru's iconic 1992 single actually comes in two different iterations — a vogue-ready "Solid Pink Disco Version" and a longer, pulsating "Blonde Version" — but both will give all the girls, gays and theys descending on the Empire Polo Club for the weekend just one thing to say: "You betta work!"
