We all reach that point when listening to the same songs over and over again gets old, and we’re craving something new and fresh. Luckily, we can always count on our favorite artists to surprise us with some amazing songs, and Kendrick Lamar, Twenty One Pilots, and Tyla did just that this week.
2024 has been a pretty epic year for Kendrick Lamar, and just when we thought we’d seen it all – he found a way to impress us again. The rapper’s surprise album GNX hit the shelves this Friday with no prior notice and delivered 12 epic new tracks, with “Luther” emerging as an early favorite.
Most other albums released this Friday were largely overshadowed by Lamar’s latest, but a few still managed to catch our eye. Father John Misty impressed us with “Mental Health” from Mahashmashana, while Michael Kiwanuka deserves a shout-out for “One and Only” from Small Changes.
This week has also been pretty great for Tyla, who’s been on fire this fall. After stirring the commotion with her recent music video for “Push 2 Start”, she surprised us with her new ballad “Tears”, which she performed during the most recent Coke Studio Session.
Check out the rest of our list of the best new songs of the week to discover new music by Wizkid, Omar Apollo, Coi Leray, Three Days Grace, and JoJo.
