Our favorite female artists celebrated this year’s International Women’s Day in style—with the release of their long-awaited new albums and singles. Everyone from Ariana Grande and Norah Jones to Girl in Red and Laufey has given us new songs this week, and it’s up to you to pick your favorite!

Ariana Grande’s Eternal Sunshine created more buzz than any other new album this week, and it was truly worth the wait. She gave us 13 pretty amazing new songs, and the second single “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)” certainly deserves a spot on your playlist.
