Discovering new music never gets old, and we’ve been keeping ourselves pretty busy this week. From Sabrina Carpenter’s new album Short n’ Sweet to new songs by Coldplay, Lainey Wilson, and Blink-182, this week has given us some amazing new songs worth listening to on repeat.

After giving us some of the biggest summer hits, Sabrina Carpenter finally dropped her new album Short n’ Sweet in full. Its latest single “Taste” will satisfy your cravings for the catchy bubblegum pop, and she promoted it with the killer music video starring Jenna Ortega.

Short n’ Sweet is certainly the buzziest new album to hit the shelves this Friday, but it’s not the only one to rock our world. Country star Lainey Wilson promoted the release of Whirlwind with the music video for its title song, while the Irish post-punk band Fontaines D.C. made the cut with “In the Modern World” from their new album Romance.

Coldplay’s “We Pray” emerged as one of the week’s buzziest new songs, and they even brought Little Simz, Burna Boy, Elyanna, and TINI on board. Check out the rest of our list, and get ready to discover some new music by Blink-182, Elmiene, Luna Li, Magdalena Bay, Jelly Roll, and Orion Sun.
