This week's bevy of new releases is filled with major collaborations from the worlds of hip-hop and R&B (The Weeknd with Playboi Carti and Doechii; UMI with 6LACK), pop-punk (Avril Lavigne and Simple Plan), country (Thomas Rhett and Tucker Wetmore; Kenny Chesney and Megan Moroney), Latin (Becky G and Manuel Turizo), and rock (Halsey and Evanescence's Amy Lee).
Notable new albums include Maren Morris' DREAMSICLE, Sleep Token's Even in Arcadia, Forrest Frank's CHILD OF GOD II, Blake Shelton's For Recreational Use Only, I'm With Her's Wild & Clear & Blue, Cuco's Ridin', KALEO's MIXED EMOTIONS, and Arcade Fire's Pink Elephant.
Plus, Tyla is wrapped up in "Bliss" on her latest single, Morgan Wallen sings to his son on "Superman," David Archuleta puts his heart on the line on the dreamy "Can I Call You," and Moses Sumney gets into the groove with Hayley Williams for "I Like It I Like It."
Below, press play on 11 major new releases, including exciting new singles from ROSÉ, Karol G and Miley Cyrus, full-lengths from PinkPantheress and Kali Uchis and more.
Doechii joins The Weeknd and Playboi Carti for a self-assured remix of the duo's recent smash single "Timeless," which kicked off the former's rollout for Hurry Up Tomorrow and was part of The Weeknd's return to the GRAMMY stage at the 2025 GRAMMYs.
The reigning Best Rap Album GRAMMY winner revels in her meteoric rise on her new verse. "I been legit since I came out the swamp/ Miss TPA and the Birkin's a croc,'" she raps. "My brand grossin' numbers you'll never believe/ It's a bill' on the streams/ Hop in the booth, I advance on the beat/ B—, it's a wrap like lettuce and cheese."

ROSÉ revs up the romance on "Messy," her contribution to the star-studded soundtrack of F1 The Movie, which arrives in full on June 27 alongside the film's theatrical release.
"Baby I'm obsessed with you and there's no replica/ Maybe if it's messy, if it's messy, if it's messy/ Then you know it's really love," the K-pop superstar sings on the ballad's cascading chorus. And though the accompanying music video is interspersed with footage from the movie — in which Brad Pitt is a retired Formula One racer — it's ROSÉ who steals the show as she's showered in diamonds and finds herself strolling straight down the middle of a remarkably deserted Las Vegas Strip.

Miley Cyrus ushers in Act 3 of her forthcoming pop opera, Something Beautiful, with "More to Lose." Upon first listen, the emotional ballad has the potential to become one of the defining showstoppers in the superstar's discography as she confesses, "I knew someday that one would have to choose/ I just thought we had more to lose."
In between the song's clever, heartfelt wordplay ("The TV's on, but I don't know/ My tears are streaming like our favorite show"), Miley's fashion sense takes center stage in the accompanying visual — whether she's wearing the same archival 1997 Thierry Mugler couture seen in the album's transcendent cover art, a sparkling, strapless gown paired with a messy updo and winged eyeliner, or the tailored black suit and matching sheer face-kini she's donned by the final chorus.

To celebrate the release of her new Netflix documentary, Tomorrow Was Beautiful, Karol G offers up the tender "Milagros" as her first release of 2025. "Pa' que más milagros/ Que estar respirando/ Pa' que milagros/ Quiero yo, corazón/ Que sentir tu mano," she sings on the track, which translates to "Miracles" in English.
The midtempo Spanish-language ballad, which plays over the film's end credits, is inflected with folksy flourishes that deviate from the superstar's reggaeton-driven sound in favor of a simple acoustic guitar and an instrumental break featuring a flute solo.

"My name is Pink and I'm really glad to meet you," PinkPantheress states in the opening moments of her sophomore mixtape, Fancy That. Arriving 18 months after her 2023 debut album Heaven knows, the 9-song project serves as something of a reintroduction to the British sensation, who first went viral with her 2022 smash "Boy's a Liar."
Citing club legends like Basement Jaxx, Groove Armada and Fatboy Slim as major influences for the project's dance-fueled sound, PinkPantheress also finds Y2K-era inspiration by sampling the likes of Panic! At the Disco's 2008 deep cut "Do You Know What I'm Seeing?" on lead single "Tonight," and Jessica Simpson's 2001 pop hit "Irresistible" on highlight "Nice to Know You." Other standouts include The Dare-produced single "Stateside" and closer "Romeo," which borrows from Basement Jaxx's 2003 hit "Good Luck" with Lisa Kekaula.
For his new single "BUCK," Jackson Wang recruited Indian superstar Diljit Dosanjh, who just made his own starry debut at the Met Gala on Monday night.
"I can show you how to dance" the Got7 member-turned-solo star promises over and over before rapping, "Yeah, bad lil' thing, make a ruckus/ Smile when she turn around and buss it." On the second verse, Dosanjh — who counts Ed Sheeran and Sia among his past collaborators — injects a dose of melody into the track in his native Punjabi language before the track culminates in a dance break worth waiting for.
On her fifth album, Sincerely, Kali Uchis is a big fan of using punctuation to help make her point. Just look at the track list filled with ellipses (lead single "Sunshine & Rain…" and opener "Heaven Is a Home…"), exclamation marks ("Sugar! Honey! Love!" and "Daggers!"), liberal commas ("Lose My Cool," "Silk Lingerie," "Fall Apart," ) and a single, blunt-force colon ("For: You").
The host of varying dots and dashes punctuate the five-time Latin GRAMMY nominee's heart-on-her-sleeve songwriting across the album's 14 tracks, whether she's refusing to apologize for her love in the brand-new music video for doo-wop-inspired focus track "All I Can Say" or confessing it all on previously released single and album closer "ILYSMIH."

In the 15 months since P1Harmony released their debut full-length, Killin' It, in early 2024, the K-pop boy band has already delivered a new EP (Sad Song) and now, their eighth mini-album. Titled DUH!, the six-track project takes their P1ece fandom on a decade-hopping journey from the '90s-inspired hip-hop of the title track and boom bap highlight "Murmur" to the EDM of the 2010s on the appropriately titled "Flashy."
Several of the group's members split creative duties on the mini-album. Jiung, Intak and Jongseob share co-writing credits across the six tracks, while Keeho joined Jiung and Jongseob in helping compose the EP's sonic palette.

Avril Lavigne joins forces with Simple Plan on "Young & Dumb," a triumphant look back at the Canadian stars' pioneering reign over the pop-punk takeover of the early 2000s — and a celebration of their upcoming summer tour together.
Over anthemic guitars and a singalong chant, Lavigne namedrops her roots in the tiny Ontario town of Napanee before referencing her famous '00s-era uniform made up of a white tank, black eyeliner and striped necktie. Together with Simple Plan's Pierre Bouvier, she reminisces about living like rockstars, trashing hotel rooms and getting dumb tattoos on their way to pop-punk greatness.

Grupo Firme are back with Evolución, their first full-length album in three years. Alongside previously released singles "Hubiéramos" and "El Beneficio de la Duda," the Spanish-language studio set features new focus track "Alégale Al Umpire" and comes complete with 14 music videos filmed across Europe — from Barcelona's Basilica de la Sagrada Familia to the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
The Latin GRAMMY winners also recruited fellow regional Mexican music acts for a trio of collaborations across the LP, including two-time Latin GRAMMY nominee Joss Favela ("La Vida Es Pa'Gozarla"), Mexican pop icon Gloria Trevi ("Súfrale"), and Carolina Ross ("Todavía Te Amo").
André 3000 heralded the surprise arrival of his new EP, 7 piano sketches, in the most epic way possible: by strutting up down the carpet of the 2025 Met Gala with a high-fashion piano strapped to his back.
In stark contrast to such a grandiose announcement, the seven-track EP is spare and understated — though equally as experimental as some of the avant-garde fashions seen on The First Monday in May. The instrumental sketches found here range from the three-and-a-half minute mark on the circuitous, glowing "off rhythm laughter" to just a scant 54 seconds on the meanderingly titled "when you're a ant and you wake up in an awesome mood, about to drive your son to school, only to discover that you left the lights on in the car last night so your battery is drained."
