Below, press play on a dozen other new releases, including new albums from Doja Cat and Young Thug, singles by Tate McRae, Florence + the Machine, 5 Seconds of Summer and more.
Tate McRae — "TIT FOR TAT"
Tate McRae may be in the midst of her sold-out Miss Possessive Tour, but somehow found time to gift fans with surprise single "TIT FOR TAT" from the road. The pop star uses the chilly kiss-off to hit back at an ex's narrative of their breakup (perhaps in response to ex-boyfriend The Kid LAROI's pre-VMAs release "A Cold Play"?). Either way, she's ready to play the game, promising, "Let's go song for song, let's go back to back/ Let's go tit for tat, boy, you asked for that."

P1Harmony — EX
Less than five months after dropping mini-album Duh! back in May, P1Harmony are back with EX. The five-track EP contains party-ready bops like "Dancing Queen" and "Night Of My Life," and finds the K-pop boy band encouraging every girl's "exploration…without an explanation" in both English on the title track and Spanish on its bilingual bonus cut.

Young Thug — UY SCUTI
Young Thug officially makes his musical comeback with UY SCUTI, his first album since being released from prison in October 2024 following the high-profile YSL RICO trial. The rapper comes back swinging with help from a cavalcade of A-list guest spots by everyone from Cardi B ("On The News") and T.I. ("RIP Big & Mack") to Lil Baby ("Pardon My Back"), Sexyy Red ("Mami"), Travis Scott ("Pipe Down") and more.
Florence + the Machine — "One of the Greats"
Florence + the Machine continue building momentum for their forthcoming sixth studio set, Everybody Scream (due Oct. 31), with "One of the Greats," a nearly eight-minute epic recorded in a single take with IDLES' Mark Bowen and The National's Aaron Dessner. "I don't really know how to explain myself with this one," frontwoman Florence Welch says of the track in a press release. "It was sort of a long poem about the cost of greatness. Who gets to decide what that is? Why do I even want it? Why am I never satisfied?"
Doja Cat — Vie
On her fifth album, Vie, Doja Cat returns to the pop sound that made her famous on predecessors like 2019's Hot Pink and 2021's Planet Her. Following '80s-inspired lead-off "Jealous Type," the GRAMMY winner dives back into the decade's synth-drenched sound to delightful, empowering result on the uplifting "Gorgeous" and reunites with "Kiss Me More" pal SZA for a night of falsetto-laced revelry on "Take Me Dancing."

FAOUZIA — "PEACE & VIOLENCE"
FAOUZIA adds another link to her string of recent singles with "PEACE & VIOLENCE." The alluring track arrives with a film noir-inspired video, which finds the mononymous Canadian-Moroccan singer draped in fur as she traipses though a grandiose, seaside mansion with gun in hand. "I'd watch the world burn down just to see you in the lighting of the embers," she vows before making her gleeful getaway.
5 Seconds of Summer — "NOT OK"
Three years and multiple solo projects since 2022's 5SOS5, the guys of 5 Seconds of Summer are back together for their sixth album, Everyone's a Star!, which is set to be released Nov. 14 via Republic Records. On grungy lead single "NOT OK," the foursome get rowdy as they shout, "Hey! I'm not ok/ I like the darker side of me/ That side of me comes out to play/ When I'm with you/ Bite the apple baby" over a jittery soundscape.
Ice Spice — "Baddie Baddie"
On her first solo release since Y2K!: I'm Just a Girl (Deluxe), Ice Spice turns to M.I.A.'s groundbreaking "Bad Girls" for inspiration. The rapper's trusty producer RiotUSA crafts an instantly recognizable beat around a sample of the 2012 hit as she shrugs off her journey from the Bronx to the top of the charts, rapping, "Grrah, they said they wanted a bop? I was just poppin' my s—, I ain't even really mean to go pop."

Olivia Dean — The Art of Loving
On her sophomore album, The Art of Loving, Olivia Dean makes good on the promise of pre-release singles "Nice to Each Other," "Lady Lady" and recent, buzzy hit "Man I Need" with a collection of introspective, heart-on-her-sleeve grooves about love, loss and everything in between. Recorded in a house in East London, the studio set also includes highlights like the lovestruck "So Easy (To Fall in Love)" and the orchestral sweep of "A Couple Minutes."
Khalid — "out of body"
Khalid is living his full pop-star fantasy on "out of body," the second taste of his upcoming fourth album After the Sun Goes Down (due Oct. 10). In the steamy music video, the seven-time GRAMMY nominee — who came out as gay in November 2024 — channels the energy of Britney Spears' classic "I'm a Slave 4 U" as he nails choreography, gets it on with a dancing hunk and explores gay cruising culture to the fullest.

Zara Larsson — Midnight Sun
With bold, infectious singles like "Pretty Ugly," "Crush" and the title track, Zara Larsson set expectations sky high for fans ahead of her fifth album, Midnight Sun. The Swedish pop star delivers on those expectations in spades across the studio set's 10 polished, electric pop bangers, including new highlights like "Girl's Girl," "Eurosummer" and "Blue Moon."
Marshmello & Hudson Westbrook — "Better Man Than Me"
Six weeks after teaming up with Jelly Roll on "Holy Water," Marshmello continues making his mark on the country scene with "Better Man Than Me," featuring Hudson Westbrook. The genre-melding collaboration combines the helmeted DJ's dance-floor dominance with the country upstart's heartwrung lyricism. "Well you've turned into a lesson to learn/ To a bridge I should burn/ But burning it down is more/ Your thing," Westbrook laments over the one that got away before a foot-stomping beat drop takes over.
