What’s New This Week

Happy Music Friday! My personal calendar is a conglomerate of near every genre of music, festival, and comedy special that a decade ago I would not have dreamed would be my life. This release list is twinning. We just need to add some comedy releases to this list!

To wrap up this week, we’ve got some much-anticipated arrivals that have us tapping our toes, crossing our arms, and screeching, “Finally!” We’re sure you can see which ones we think you should grab and which ones we think may deserve a pass (cough). Dive in at your own risk, and let’s hear your picks!

First, we like to share this weekly new playlist:

What amazing artist on the roster of new music this week. The amount of talent is in this weeks release set is like candy to a musichead. This weeks stand out singles are: Coi Leray’s “Run it Up,”

Best lyric: Angel in the day and demon in the night.

A theme song for all gals tired of these f*boys for real! Alex Vaughn, Bryan-Michael Cox’s “Almost Doesn’t Count” their version of Brandy’s 1999 smash hit. It’s a solid song and they definitely made it their own. Gracie Abrams “Unsteady,” a favorite around our office a haunting vocal and deep lyrics for her young years but definitely a synth pop shoe-gaze singer songwriters dream. Please dont sleep on this, artist.

**All dates are for U.S. releases unless otherwise noted. Dates are subject to change.
