Selena Gomez — "In The Dark"

On Oct. 23, Selena Gomez dropped a surprise on her millions of fans in the form of "In The Dark," her first solo single since the infectious 2024 one-off "Love On." The dance floor-ready jam features on the official soundtrack for Season 2 of Netflix's "Nobody Wants This," and the accompanying music video gives the superstar a welcome opportunity to revisit shades of her 2015 album Revival with its visual aesthetic.

LE SSERAFIM — SPAGHETTI

Eat it up! LE SSERAFIM are feasting on "SPAGHETTI" thanks to their brand-new collaboration with j-hope of BTS. The track's music video finds the K-pop girl group nailing their choreography on, that's right, a giant plate of pasta before Hobi takes over for a deliciously swaggering rap interlude.

On the accompanying single album, the quintet serve up the single in many different forms, including the original version, an English-language version and a solo version featuring just the five members sans j-hope, as well as bonus B-side "Pearlies (My oyster is the world)."

Megan Thee Stallion — "Lover Girl"

Attention Hotties, Megan Thee Stallion is in love! On her new single, the three-time GRAMMY-winning rapper is a bonafide "Lover Girl" and not afraid to show it off. Likely inspired by her budding relationship with NBA star Klay Thompson — who featured in teasers for the song posted to Megan's social media — the self-described "freaky girl" gets gleefully raunchy about her newfound romance over a pitch-perfect sample of Total's 1996 hit "Kissin' You."

Mumford & Sons feat. Hozier — "Rubber Band Man"

For their new single, "Rubber Band Man," Mumford & Sons teamed up with none other than Hozier for a growling, folk rock duet of epic proportions. In the song's music video, the British GRAMMY winners and the Irish troubadour perform together in moody grayscale, wailing, "You're a world away, but you're still the same/ I know you by your heart and I will call you by your name/ And it's a long way from the crack to the break/ You know that I remember everything."

Brandi Carlile — Returning to Myself

Brandi Carlile's acclaimed career comes full circle on her eighth album, Returning to Myself. The project marks the 11-time GRAMMY winner's first solo project since 2021's In These Silent Days, which took home the golden gramophone for Best Americana Album in 2023.

Across the studio set's taut 10-song tracklist, the singer/songwriter does a whole lot of self-reflecting on the title track, turns up the amps on "Church and State" and pays loving tribute to the great Joni Mitchell on the titular "Joni."

Queen Naija — 30.

Queen Naija enters a new decade as well as a new musical era on her EP 30. The R&B songstress was determined to showcase her growth across the eight-track project. "I feel like 30. is just me walking into my thirties," she said in a press statement about the release. "I've felt my brain make this switch that I never thought—or I never knew — could happen. I've grown so much, and I've learned so many different things."

Alexandra Kay — Second Wind

Alexandra Kay's quickly rising career continues to gain momentum with the release of her sophomore album, Second Wind. Arriving two years after her post-divorce debut, 2023's All I've Ever Known, the new studio set finds the country singer in a happier, more peaceful place through standout singles like "Feminine Energy," "Cupid's A Cowgirl" and "The Last." Meanwhile, Kay takes a cheater to task on "Big Boy Boots" and proudly asserts her reinvention on "Old Me."

The Neighbourhood — "Private" / "OMG" / "Lovebomb"

Nearly four years since The Neighbourhood announced they were taking an indefinite hiatus in early 2022, the band is primed and ready to kick off a new era. They're tripling down on their comeback by releasing a trio of singles: the pulsating "Private," the fuzzed out "OMG" and midtempo confession "Lovebomb." The three singles also arrive alongside an announcement sure to thrill fans of the West Coast alt rockers even more — Jesse Rutherford and co. will be unveiling their long-awaited fifth album, titled (((((ultraSOUND))))), on Nov. 14.

Tyla — "CHANEL"

Tyla wants to be dripping in "CHANEL" on her latest single of 2025. In the song's accompanying video, the groundbreaking, first-ever GRAMMY winner for Best African Music Performance wields a tiny, gold-plated pistol straight at the camera as she demands, "How you say you love me?/ You ain't put me in Chanel." Referring to herself as a "flawless diamond piece," the African singer later adds, "I'm a big dog, baby, underdog, baby/ Self-made b—h, yeah, you can upgrade me/ Waistline crazy, mandem chase me/ Say you wan' see me, where you gon' take me?"

Mac Miller — GO:OD AM (10th Anniversary)

It's been seven years since Mac Miller's tragic passing, and fans have one more way to honor the late rapper's legacy thanks to the 10-year anniversary rerelease of his major label debut, 2015's GO:OD AM. Along with singles "100 Grandkids" and "Weekend," the reissue features three new, previously unreleased tracks including Vinny Radio collab "Royal Flush," "Cable Box" and "Carpe Diem."
