After quite a slow period for new music releases, the world’s leading artists didn’t hold anything back this week. Several highly-anticipated albums hit the shelves this Friday, giving us amazing new songs by the likes of Linkin Park, Shawn Mendes, Rauw Alejandro, Bad Bunny, and many more.
Linkin Park’s new album From Zero is the buzziest new release since it marks the band’s first studio effort without the late frontman Chester Bennington. Emily Armstrong took over as vocalist earlier this year, and appeared on several singles ahead of the album’s release, with “Two Faced” serving as the fourth.
Linkin Park’s From Zero isn’t the only new album to create a lot of buzz this week. Shawn Mendes made the cut with “The Mountain” from Shawn, Jon Batiste impressed us with “Dusklight Movement” from Beethoven Blues, while Rauw Alejandro joined forces with Bad Bunny for “Qué Pasaría” from his new album Cosa Nuestra.
This isn’t the only epic collaboration to make it to our list this week. Elton John and Brandi Carlile proved to the world they’re a match made in heaven with “Never Too Late”, Jessie Reyez and Ari Lennox gave us some girl power with “Just Like That”, while Odeal and Summer Walker dropped their latest collaboration “You’re Stuck”.
