Where last week's New Music Fridays was jam packed with great new stuff from relatively new artists, we find new gems from tried and true artists this week, including the return of Christina Aguilera, some youthful infusion from Shawn Mendes, Khalid and Troye Sivan, and much much more. Check it out...
Shawn Mendes has an eponymous album, his third, coming out later this month and the songs he's been putting out thus far have shown a natural progression towards pop music perfection. Such is the case with his newest, a collaboration with fellow crooner Khalid. The song features dueling vocals blended perfectly together in what just may become one of the hottest hits of the year. Check out Youth...
The Way I Am - Charlie Puth
Charlie Puth keeps his string of hot releases going with this pleasingly upbeat, yet introspective tune. Check out The Way I Am...
I'll Be There - Jess Glynne
I am loving Jess Glynne. Who would have thought that she'd come back from her guest vocal on Clean Bandit's monumental Rather Be right to her own solo debut and the great success of Hold My Hand? Well, with a spot on Rudimental's These Days, the British singer has surely established herself as a force in the music world. Now Glynne is back with yet another inspirational gem that's sure to be on my playlist for some time to come. Check out I'll Be There...
Accelerate - Christina Aguilera, with Ty Dolla $ign, 2 Chainz
One of the most talked-about songs of the week is Christina Aguilera's first new song in five years. Earlier in the week, Ms. X-Tina announced the release of her sixth studio album, Liberation, coming out in June, and the buzz among her fans, including me, is well, we're excited. The new song features rappers Ty Dolla $ign and 2 Chainz and is a quick-moving, rap-infused song that I'm thinking I need to listen to more to get into. By the way, the tune is also reportedly produced by Kanye West, in case you might be wondering. Check out Variety for more on the album and check out Accelerate right here...
Bloom - Troye Sivan
Troye Sivan adds to three the number of pre-released songs ahead of his next studio album. Whereas the somber reflection of The Good Side hearkens to reflections from a past life, Bloom continues where My My My left off, finding Sivan in a blissful place in his life, singing about life and love and well, just being happy. Check out the cool lyric video for Bloom here...
Well I could seriously go on and on and on. Lots of honorable mentions here, even the return of Guns n Roses, which I actually thought about highlighting. Check out some more really good stuff...
