2024 is finally in full swing, and our favorite artists are taking that “new year, new me” mantra pretty seriously. Everyone from Ariana Grande and Lil Nas X to Kali Uchis to Kid Cudi ushered in a new era and reinvented themselves with amazing new songs this week.

This Friday marked the release of comeback singles of two of the biggest stars working today. Ariana Grande gave us a taste of her upcoming seventh studio album with a new catchy bop “Yes, And?”, while Lil Nas X made quite a commotion with his comeback single “J Christ”.

Friday also introduced us to several highly-anticipated new albums, including Kali Uchis’ Orquídeas, which she promoted with the release of “Igual Que Un Ángel” ft. Peso Pluma. It was also a great week for hip-hop fans, with 21 Savage and Kid Cudi both sharing new albums with the world.

Fans of alternative music won’t be disappointed by our list, either, since several leading indie and rock artists made the cut. Suki Waterhouse rocked our world with the new song “OMG”, MGMT teased the release of their new album with “Nothing To Declare”, while The Black Keys gave us a major throwback with “Beautiful People (Stay High)”.
