October is slowly coming to an end, and its last week was an embarrassment of riches in terms of new music. Lady Gaga returned with a new single “Disease”, giving us the week’s buzziest new song, but Halsey, Tyler, the Creator, and Alessia Cara also surprised us with epic new tunes.

After dropping hints about her next album for quite some time, Lady Gaga has finally given us a taste of things to come. “Disease” sees her embracing the dark pop vibes and it’s a return to form for the singer, which drew comparisons to one of her biggest hits, “Bad Romance”.

Lady Gaga isn’t the only major star to drop a major single from her next studio album this week. Tyler, the Creator teased Chromakopia with the music video for “Noid”, while Alessia Cara announced the release of her upcoming album Love & Hyperbole with “(Isn’t It) Obvious”.

This week also marked the release of several highly-anticipated albums, starting with Halsey’s long-awaited The Great Impersonator. The songs on this album are a love letter to artists who inspired her over the years, including “Panic Attack”, which sees her paying homage to Stevie Nicks.
