We’re only one week into June, and it’s already shaping up to be the best month for music since the start of 2024. This week has given us a bunch of amazing new albums, singles, and music videos, from the likes of Charli XCX, Raye, Sabrina Carpenter, Tems, and many more.

This Friday has been great for new album releases, and it brought some pretty fantastic new LPs our way. Charli XCX’s Brat is definitely the buzziest of them all, and it stirred quite a commotion on social media with several catchy songs, but “Talk Talk” emerged as an early favorite.
