What’s Your Favorite New Music Release of the Week? Vote!
Spring is just around the corner, and some of music’s biggest stars are getting ready for the warmer months with a slew of new releases.
Kicking things off is Ariana Grande, who welcomed a life of Eternal Sunshine with her seventh studio album released on Friday (March 8). Grande introduced the new era back in January with the release of lead single “Yes, And?” That Max Martin-producer dancefloor-ready banger used house music to kiss off Grande’s haters and shimmy to the top of the Billboard Hot 100. She’s also set to perform on Saturday Night Live as musical guest this weekend.
Jack Antonoff’s Bleachers also unveiled this long-awaited self-titled album, featuring songs like the rollicking “Modern Girl,” wistful “Alma Mater” and quietly graceful “Woke Up Today.” Meanwhile, Norah Jones stays adventurous and powerful with her new album Visions, which features songs like “Paradise” and “All This Time.”
Over in the hip-hop world, 4batz called on Drake for the remix to “act ii: date @ 8,” his viral R&B smash, catapulting the Texas native into stardom. The “Official Visualizer” for “act ii: date @ 8” has 3.1 million views.
