The final week of September was an epic time for new music, and it’s given us an abundance of amazing songs. From Lady Gaga and The Weeknd to Rosalía and Shakira, many of our faves surprised us with epic new tracks and made it to our list of the best new songs of the week.
It’s only been a few days since Lady Gaga teased the release of Lady Gaga, a companion album to her new movie Joker: Folie à Deux. She recorded several original songs to set the stage for this project, including “Happy Mistake”.
Speaking of new albums, The Weeknd is teasing the newly-announced Hurry Up Tomorrow. After sharing the first single “Dancing in the Flames” earlier this month, he dropped the Playboi Carti collaboration “Timeless” just two weeks later.
This week has been pretty great for female vocalists overall, and Lady Gaga’s new album is just a drop in the ocean. Rock legend Stevie Nicks returned with “The Lighthouse”, Nina Nesbitt released “Parachute” from her new album Mountain Music, while Jade continued teasing her debut solo album with “Midnight Cowboy”.
Our favorite Latin singers have also been pretty busy – Rosalía rocked our world with “Omega” ft. Ralphie Choo, while Shakira gave us another catchy bop to dance to with “Soltera”.
Linkin Park, Kygo, Imagine Dragons, Damiano David, and Labrinth also made it to our list, so check it out to discover some new music.
