April will be behind us in just a few days, and our favorite artists wrapped it up in style. This week has given us some pretty amazing new tracks, and Lorde, Haim, Tom Odell, and Coco Jones are only some of the artists who managed to make it to our list of the best songs of the week.

Lorde hasn’t dropped any solo songs since her last studio album Solar Power came out in 2021, but her grand return is finally upon us. She’s given us the taste of her next era with the upbeat synth-pop track “What Was That”, her first single in nearly four years.

Lorde wasn’t the only artist setting the stage for her next studio album by dropping new music this week. “Down To Be Wrong” was released as the latest single from Haim’s I Quit, Arcade Fire dropped the title song from their next album Pink Elephant, while PinkPantheress set the stage for her mixtape Fancy That with “Stateside”.

This week has also given us several new albums worthy of your attention. Coco Jones’s debut studio album Why Not More? produced several great songs, including “On Sight”, d4vd promoted the release of Withered with the music video for “Is This Really Love?”, while Ghost set the stage for the release of Skeletá with “Peacefield”.
