This May is bringing a lot of amazing new music our way, and our favorite artists didn’t wait for too long before sharing it with the world. Dua Lipa, Willow, and Sia dropped new albums this Friday, while Gracie Abrams and Coco Jones made it to our list of the best new songs of the week with their new singles.

After a lot of anticipation, Dua Lipa’s third studio album Radical Optimism is finally here, and it’s given us several amazing songs we’ll be dancing to all summer long. Some of its best tracks have already been released as promotional singles, but “Falling Forever” is definitely a standout among the new songs.
