Bad Bunny’s latest album Debí Tirar Más Fotos produced quite a few amazing music videos, and another one is on the way. The Puerto Rican superstar dropped the atmospheric video for “BOKeTE”, which sees him mending his broken heart and dancing his way through heartbreak.

The music video for “BOKeTE” explores the themes of nostalgia and pain, which are at the heart of his latest studio album. He can be seen walking along the beach, dining on his own, having conversations on the phone, and dancing with himself while singing about a lost love and regret.

At one point, Bad Bunny gazes directly into the camera and delivers a bittersweet monologue in Spanish: “Thank God I’m alive, and that’s what matters. I’ve fallen in love 515 times, and with you, it’s 516. It’s time to keep going, to fight, to push forward, and maybe later, if we fall in love again…”

“BOKeTE” was released as one of the songs from Bad Bunny’s latest album Debí Tirar Más Fotos, which also produced singles “El Clúb”, “Pitorro de Coco”, and “Baile Inolvidable”, in addition to the Billboard Global 200 number-one hit “DTMF”. He described it as his most personal album to date, and said it’s “dedicated to all the Puerto Ricans in the entire world.”

Morgan Wallen is no stranger to long albums that feature dozens of tracks, and he’ll take things to a whole new level with his next record. The country superstar shared the tracklist of his next LP I’m the Problem, which will feature a total of 37 songs, including some buzzy collaborations.

I’m the Problem will be released via Big Loud, Republic, and Mercury Records on May 16, and Wallen set the stage for this album with several singles. “Lies Lies Lies” was released as the lead single last summer, and it was followed by “Love Somebody”, “Smile”, “I’m the Problem”, and “Just in Case”.

“I Ain’t Comin’ Back” ft. Post Malone  will be released as the album’s next single this Friday. The duo previously collaborated on “I Had Some Help” from Malone’s album F-1 Trillion, which spent six weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Post Malone won’t be the only major artist featured on Wallen’s new album. Collaborations with Tate McRae, Eric Church, Hardy, and Ernest are also among 37 songs featured on its tracklist.

I’m the Problem marks the long-awaited follow-up to Wallen’s hit album One Thing at a Time, which spent 19 weeks atop the Billboard 200 chart, setting the record for the longest-running number-one country album in history.

The lineup at this year’s Coachella will be an embarrassment of riches—and it’s just gotten even better! Ed Sheeran and Weezer are the latest A-list acts to join the lineup, shortly after FKA Twigs and Anitta announced they won’t be taking part in this year’s festival.

The alternative rock legends Weezer will hit the iconic Coachella stage during Weekend 1, on Saturday around 3 p.m. Ed Sheeran, who’s fresh off releasing the lead single from his new album Play titled “Azizam”, will take the same slot during Weekend 2.

Weezer and Sheeran were added to the Coachella lineup shortly after the festival lost two major performers. The shifts in the schedule were made shortly after FKA Twigs canceled her scheduled tour dates for the rest of April across North America due to “ongoing visa issues”. The Brazilian pop star Anitta also pulled out of the festival, citing “unexpected personal reasons.”

The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is returning to the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California for two weekends, between April 11–13 and April 18–20. Lady Gaga, Green Day, Travis Scott, and Post Malone are headlining the festival, while the lineup also includes Charli XCX, Megan Thee Stallion, Missy Elliott, Benson Boone, Shaboozey, GloRilla, and Marina.

Miley Cyrus is setting the stage for her new era – and it’s shaping up to be the most visually striking one yet. She announced the release date of her next studio album, Something Beautiful, which will be accompanied by a visual musical film of the same name later this spring.

Something Beautiful is hitting the shelves on May 30, while the accompanying musical film is coming out on June 20. Cyrus described it as “a unique visual experience fueled by fantasy” and revealed that fashion will play an important role in this project, which will feature archival couture by Thierry Mugler, Jean Paul Gaultier, Alexander McQueen, and Alaïa.

Cyrus teased the album by sharing cover art captured by fashion photographer Glen Luchford, which sees her wearing one of Mugler’s designs from 1997. The singer also revealed she used Pink Floyd’s The Wall as her main source of inspiration, adding she felt like “making The Wall, but with a better wardrobe and more glamorous and filled with pop culture.”

Cyrus also told Harper’s BAZAAR she wanted every song on Something Beautiful to have healing properties.

“The songs, whether they’re about destruction or heartbreak or death, they’re presented in a way that is beautiful, because the nastiest times of our life do have a point of beauty. They are the shadow, they are the charcoal, they are the shading. You can’t have a painting without highlights and contrast,” explained Cyrus.

The iHeartRadio Music Awards returned to Los Angeles on Monday night to honor our favorite songs, albums, and artists of the past year. Taylor Swift dominated the ceremony, winning a total of nine awards, including the honorary tour of the century award for her historic The Eras Tour.

Swift defeated tough competition to win the award for the artist of the year, in addition to coming out victorious in eight more categories. The Tortured Poets Department was named the best pop album of the year, while “Fortnight” ft. Post Malone won awards for best lyrics and music video.

Swift wasn’t in attendance at the ceremony, but she tuned in via video to accept the award for tour of the century for her record-breaking The Eras Tour. She described it as the most gratifying thing she’s ever done and thanked the fans for making it happen.

“The only reason I was able to take on those challenges, among others, the ambition of the production, the length of the show, the amount of shows in all the different countries we played in, that’s all because of the fans. You had the passion and the generosity to care about traveling to see us on tour in all these places all over the world,” said Swift.

Doechii’s fans have been begging her to release the studio version of “Anxiety” for quite some time—and she finally answered their prayers! The Grammy-winning rapper dropped the visualizer for this fan-favorite track after its original version became a viral sensation on TikTok.

Doechii originally performed “Anxiety” in a music session on her YouTube channel in 2019, but it took years for its studio version to see the light of day. She addressed her fans by writing, “Swamp, I heard y’all loud n clear!” and shared a visualizer that features two mirrored black-and-white images of herself, connected by her braids.

The song samples Gotye’s megahit “Somebody That I Used to Know” ft. Kimbra, and it started trending on TikTok in recent weeks, inspiring Doechii to seize the moment and drop it as a single. A sample of “Anxiety” was previously featured on Sleepy Hallow’s track of the same name from 2023.

Doechii didn’t have a huge following when “Anxiety” was first released, but her fans rediscovered it as her star rose in recent months. She made quite a splash with her latest mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal, which won her a Grammy Award for the best rap album and produced hit singles “Nissan Altima” and “Denial Is a River”.

Super Bowl LIX was a night to remember, and Kendrick Lamar was at the center of some of its most epic moments. The Grammy-winning rapper delivered a triumphant medley of his most recent hits, including the viral banger “Not Like Us”, and brought out several surprise guests during his halftime show performance.

Lamar didn’t rely on his biggest hits to make an impact with his Super Bowl performance and opted for a setlist that highlights his recent catalog. Some of the songs were taken from his deeper catalog, but most of them were released just last year, including “Squabble Up” and “TV Off” from his most recent album GNX.

Lamar also used his Super Bowl performance to take shots at Drake, cementing his triumph in their ongoing feud. The viral diss track “Not Like Us” was the highlight of his halftime show, and he brought out Serena Williams for a crip walk while the entire stadium sang along.

Williams wasn’t the only surprise guest to make an appearance alongside Lamar. SZA joined him for an epic rendition of “Luther” and “All the Stars”, while the beloved actor Samuel L. Jackson made a cameo as Uncle Sam. Lamar signed off with “TV Off” alongside Mustard, taking a swaggering victory lap while the lights at the top of the stadium spelled out the words “Game Over.”

Mayhem will be released on March 7 via Streamline and Interscope Records, and Lady Gaga teased it by sharing the album cover and a cryptic teaser. It will feature 14 songs, including the previously released lead single “Disease” and the chart-topping Bruno Mars collaboration “Die with a Smile”.

Lady Gaga discussed the release of Mayhem with Elle and said it’s about following your own chaos into whatever cranny of your life it takes you to.

“The chaos I thought was long gone is fully intact and ready to greet me whenever I’d like. Part of the message of even the first song on the album is that your demons are with you in the beginning and they are with you in the end, and I don’t mean it in a bleak way,” she told Elle.

Lady Gaga described Mayhem as the return to the pop music her earliest fans loved so much. She also cited ’90s alternative, electro-grunge, Prince and Bowie melodies, guitar and attitude, funky bass lines, French electronic dance, and analog synths as her main influences for this record.

We’re just a few weeks into 2025, and it’s already shaping up to be an epic year for music. Our list of the best new songs of the week is an embarrassment of riches, and it includes epic new tracks by Mac Miller, Lucy Dacus, Mumford & Sons, and Perfume Genius.

Boygenius singer Lucy Dacus announced her solo comeback earlier this week, and teased her upcoming album Forever is a Feeling with the lead single “Ankles”. The magical music video for this song feels like a fever dream and stars the Bottoms actress Havana Rose Liu.

Speaking of comebacks, Mumford & Sons are gearing up for the release of their first album in seven years. Rushmere will hit the shelves on March 28, and they’ve given us a taste of things to come with the lead single of the same name.

This week also marked the release of Mac Miller’s second posthumous album Balloonerism, which was originally recorded back in 2014. “Funny Papers” emerged as our favorite song, but this record also produced collaborations with SZA and Delusional Thomas.

Check out the rest of our list of the best songs of the week to discover new music by Perfume Genius, Samia, Banks, John Summit, Cloves, NLE Choppa, Imagine Dragons, Ela Minus, and The Weather Station.

Mac Miller – “Funny Papers”

Lucy Dacus – “Ankles”

Perfume Genius – “It’s a Mirror”

Mumford & Sons – “Rushmere”

Samia – “Bovine Excision”

Banks – “Love Is Unkind”

Bad Bunny’s latest album Debí Tirar Más Fotos produced quite a few amazing music videos, and another one is on the way. The Puerto Rican superstar dropped the atmospheric video for “BOKeTE”, which sees him mending his broken heart and dancing his way through heartbreak.

The music video for “BOKeTE” explores the themes of nostalgia and pain, which are at the heart of his latest studio album. He can be seen walking along the beach, dining on his own, having conversations on the phone, and dancing with himself while singing about a lost love and regret.

At one point, Bad Bunny gazes directly into the camera and delivers a bittersweet monologue in Spanish: “Thank God I’m alive, and that’s what matters. I’ve fallen in love 515 times, and with you, it’s 516. It’s time to keep going, to fight, to push forward, and maybe later, if we fall in love again…”

“BOKeTE” was released as one of the songs from Bad Bunny’s latest album Debí Tirar Más Fotos, which also produced singles “El Clúb”, “Pitorro de Coco”, and “Baile Inolvidable”, in addition to the Billboard Global 200 number-one hit “DTMF”. He described it as his most personal album to date, and said it’s “dedicated to all the Puerto Ricans in the entire world.”

Morgan Wallen is no stranger to long albums that feature dozens of tracks, and he’ll take things to a whole new level with his next record. The country superstar shared the tracklist of his next LP I’m the Problem, which will feature a total of 37 songs, including some buzzy collaborations.

I’m the Problem will be released via Big Loud, Republic, and Mercury Records on May 16, and Wallen set the stage for this album with several singles. “Lies Lies Lies” was released as the lead single last summer, and it was followed by “Love Somebody”, “Smile”, “I’m the Problem”, and “Just in Case”.

“I Ain’t Comin’ Back” ft. Post Malone  will be released as the album’s next single this Friday. The duo previously collaborated on “I Had Some Help” from Malone’s album F-1 Trillion, which spent six weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Post Malone won’t be the only major artist featured on Wallen’s new album. Collaborations with Tate McRae, Eric Church, Hardy, and Ernest are also among 37 songs featured on its tracklist.

I’m the Problem marks the long-awaited follow-up to Wallen’s hit album One Thing at a Time, which spent 19 weeks atop the Billboard 200 chart, setting the record for the longest-running number-one country album in history.

The lineup at this year’s Coachella will be an embarrassment of riches—and it’s just gotten even better! Ed Sheeran and Weezer are the latest A-list acts to join the lineup, shortly after FKA Twigs and Anitta announced they won’t be taking part in this year’s festival.

The alternative rock legends Weezer will hit the iconic Coachella stage during Weekend 1, on Saturday around 3 p.m. Ed Sheeran, who’s fresh off releasing the lead single from his new album Play titled “Azizam”, will take the same slot during Weekend 2.

Weezer and Sheeran were added to the Coachella lineup shortly after the festival lost two major performers. The shifts in the schedule were made shortly after FKA Twigs canceled her scheduled tour dates for the rest of April across North America due to “ongoing visa issues”. The Brazilian pop star Anitta also pulled out of the festival, citing “unexpected personal reasons.”

The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is returning to the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California for two weekends, between April 11–13 and April 18–20. Lady Gaga, Green Day, Travis Scott, and Post Malone are headlining the festival, while the lineup also includes Charli XCX, Megan Thee Stallion, Missy Elliott, Benson Boone, Shaboozey, GloRilla, and Marina.

Miley Cyrus is setting the stage for her new era – and it’s shaping up to be the most visually striking one yet. She announced the release date of her next studio album, Something Beautiful, which will be accompanied by a visual musical film of the same name later this spring.

Something Beautiful is hitting the shelves on May 30, while the accompanying musical film is coming out on June 20. Cyrus described it as “a unique visual experience fueled by fantasy” and revealed that fashion will play an important role in this project, which will feature archival couture by Thierry Mugler, Jean Paul Gaultier, Alexander McQueen, and Alaïa.

Cyrus teased the album by sharing cover art captured by fashion photographer Glen Luchford, which sees her wearing one of Mugler’s designs from 1997. The singer also revealed she used Pink Floyd’s The Wall as her main source of inspiration, adding she felt like “making The Wall, but with a better wardrobe and more glamorous and filled with pop culture.”

Cyrus also told Harper’s BAZAAR she wanted every song on Something Beautiful to have healing properties.

“The songs, whether they’re about destruction or heartbreak or death, they’re presented in a way that is beautiful, because the nastiest times of our life do have a point of beauty. They are the shadow, they are the charcoal, they are the shading. You can’t have a painting without highlights and contrast,” explained Cyrus.

The iHeartRadio Music Awards returned to Los Angeles on Monday night to honor our favorite songs, albums, and artists of the past year. Taylor Swift dominated the ceremony, winning a total of nine awards, including the honorary tour of the century award for her historic The Eras Tour.

Swift defeated tough competition to win the award for the artist of the year, in addition to coming out victorious in eight more categories. The Tortured Poets Department was named the best pop album of the year, while “Fortnight” ft. Post Malone won awards for best lyrics and music video.

Swift wasn’t in attendance at the ceremony, but she tuned in via video to accept the award for tour of the century for her record-breaking The Eras Tour. She described it as the most gratifying thing she’s ever done and thanked the fans for making it happen.

“The only reason I was able to take on those challenges, among others, the ambition of the production, the length of the show, the amount of shows in all the different countries we played in, that’s all because of the fans. You had the passion and the generosity to care about traveling to see us on tour in all these places all over the world,” said Swift.

Doechii’s fans have been begging her to release the studio version of “Anxiety” for quite some time—and she finally answered their prayers! The Grammy-winning rapper dropped the visualizer for this fan-favorite track after its original version became a viral sensation on TikTok.

Doechii originally performed “Anxiety” in a music session on her YouTube channel in 2019, but it took years for its studio version to see the light of day. She addressed her fans by writing, “Swamp, I heard y’all loud n clear!” and shared a visualizer that features two mirrored black-and-white images of herself, connected by her braids.

The song samples Gotye’s megahit “Somebody That I Used to Know” ft. Kimbra, and it started trending on TikTok in recent weeks, inspiring Doechii to seize the moment and drop it as a single. A sample of “Anxiety” was previously featured on Sleepy Hallow’s track of the same name from 2023.

Doechii didn’t have a huge following when “Anxiety” was first released, but her fans rediscovered it as her star rose in recent months. She made quite a splash with her latest mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal, which won her a Grammy Award for the best rap album and produced hit singles “Nissan Altima” and “Denial Is a River”.

Super Bowl LIX was a night to remember, and Kendrick Lamar was at the center of some of its most epic moments. The Grammy-winning rapper delivered a triumphant medley of his most recent hits, including the viral banger “Not Like Us”, and brought out several surprise guests during his halftime show performance.

Lamar didn’t rely on his biggest hits to make an impact with his Super Bowl performance and opted for a setlist that highlights his recent catalog. Some of the songs were taken from his deeper catalog, but most of them were released just last year, including “Squabble Up” and “TV Off” from his most recent album GNX.

Lamar also used his Super Bowl performance to take shots at Drake, cementing his triumph in their ongoing feud. The viral diss track “Not Like Us” was the highlight of his halftime show, and he brought out Serena Williams for a crip walk while the entire stadium sang along.

Williams wasn’t the only surprise guest to make an appearance alongside Lamar. SZA joined him for an epic rendition of “Luther” and “All the Stars”, while the beloved actor Samuel L. Jackson made a cameo as Uncle Sam. Lamar signed off with “TV Off” alongside Mustard, taking a swaggering victory lap while the lights at the top of the stadium spelled out the words “Game Over.”

Lady Gaga’s seventh studio album is on the way, and she’s getting ready to make some Mayhem! After teasing this record for quite some time, the Grammy-winning singer officially announced its release, revealing it will hit the shelves in March and feature 14 new tracks. 

Mayhem will be released on March 7 via Streamline and Interscope Records, and Lady Gaga teased it by sharing the album cover and a cryptic teaser. It will feature 14 songs, including the previously released lead single “Disease” and the chart-topping Bruno Mars collaboration “Die with a Smile”.

Lady Gaga discussed the release of Mayhem with Elle and said it’s about following your own chaos into whatever cranny of your life it takes you to.

“The chaos I thought was long gone is fully intact and ready to greet me whenever I’d like. Part of the message of even the first song on the album is that your demons are with you in the beginning and they are with you in the end, and I don’t mean it in a bleak way,” she told Elle.

Lady Gaga described Mayhem as the return to the pop music her earliest fans loved so much. She also cited ’90s alternative, electro-grunge, Prince and Bowie melodies, guitar and attitude, funky bass lines, French electronic dance, and analog synths as her main influences for this record.

We’re just a few weeks into 2025, and it’s already shaping up to be an epic year for music. Our list of the best new songs of the week is an embarrassment of riches, and it includes epic new tracks by Mac Miller, Lucy Dacus, Mumford & Sons, and Perfume Genius.

Boygenius singer Lucy Dacus announced her solo comeback earlier this week, and teased her upcoming album Forever is a Feeling with the lead single “Ankles”. The magical music video for this song feels like a fever dream and stars the Bottoms actress Havana Rose Liu.

Speaking of comebacks, Mumford & Sons are gearing up for the release of their first album in seven years. Rushmere will hit the shelves on March 28, and they’ve given us a taste of things to come with the lead single of the same name.

This week also marked the release of Mac Miller’s second posthumous album Balloonerism, which was originally recorded back in 2014. “Funny Papers” emerged as our favorite song, but this record also produced collaborations with SZA and Delusional Thomas.
