It’s been months since the release of Mitski’s The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We, and she’s still not done promoting it. The black-and-white music video for its second single “Star” is here, and it will win you over with its dreamy, melancholic atmosphere.

“Star” was released as a double-sided single alongside “Heaven” back in August last year, and its music video is finally here. The atmospheric visual sees Mitski paddling a boat across a foggy lake in the middle of the night.

This music video reunited Mitski with her frequent collaborator Maegan Houang, who wanted this visual to offer a contrast to their previous narrative/concept-driven videos.

“I wanted this video to encapsulate the impressionistic circularity we all experience. Our lives oscillate between light and dark repeating itself in an endless cycle where nothing is permanent. The best moments are fleeting, but so are the bad,” said Houang in a statement.

“Star” was released as one of the songs from Mitski’s seventh studio album The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We, which came out last September. It also produced singles “Bug Like an Angel” and “My Love Mine All Mine”, and she’s promoting with a tour across Europe this spring.

When Twenty One Pilots announced their new album Clancy, they also shared their plan to film a music video for every song. This creative process is taking longer than expected, and it forced the musical duo to push the release of their new album by a week.

Twenty One Pilots announced the release of Clancy in late February, and it was initially supposed to hit the shelves on May 17. They also dropped the music video for the lead single “Overcompensate” and shared a 13-song tracklist, revealing they’re planning to film a music video for every single one.

This creative undertaking has proven to be quite challenging, and Tyler Joseph announced they’re delaying the release of Clancy to give themselves enough time to finish all the videos.

“When I first told Josh and Mark and everyone on our team that I wanted to do a music video for every song on the album ‘Clancy’ that’s coming out, I told them it’s because I love these songs and I believe in them enough to pretend to sing in front of a camera for each one,” said Joseph in a video he shared on the social media platform X.

The release of Clancy is now set for May 24, and its third single “Backslide” is hitting the shelves tomorrow.

Hozier found massive success with his viral hit “Too Sweet”, and managed to top the charts around the world – including the US. After steadily climbing up the Billboard Hot 100 chart, “Too Sweet” finally hit No. 1 this week, becoming his first single to do so.

“Too Sweet” managed to reach to top of the summit after attracting 35.6 million streams, 14.1 million radio airplay audience impressions, and selling 6,000 copies during its latest week on the chart. It initially debuted at No. 5 following its release on March 22, becoming his second song to reach the top ten following his breakout hit “Take Me to Church”.

“Too Sweet” has been slowly climbing up the Billboard Hot 100 chart, but it already hit No. 1 in several other countries in the meantime. It became Hozier’s first chart-topping single in the UK and also climbed to No. 1 in Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland.

Hozier, who’s currently touring the world with his latest album Unreal Unearth, thanked fans for the outpouring of love he received since releasing “Too Sweet”.

“I’ve been both thrilled and taken massively by surprise by such a staggering reaction. It means the world that you’re enjoying this song so much. Thank you all so much,” he said in a video on Instagram.

After a lot of anticipation, Taylor Swift finally dropped her album The Tortured Poets Department this Friday, but this wasn’t the only new release that caught our eye. Check out our list of the best new songs of the week to discover new music by Pearl Jam, Hozier, and Kings of Lion.

No album this week created more commotion than Taylor Swift’s Tortured Poets and its companion piece The Anthology. She’s given us 16 new songs on the standard edition and 31 in total, but “So Long, London” is definitely her strongest new release.

This Friday was pretty slow for new releases because most artists wanted to avoid competing with Swift. That didn’t stop Pearl Jam from sharing their long-awaited album Dark Matter, which produced several amazing songs, including “Wreckage”.

The lack of major releases helped our favorite indie and international artists shine, and make it to our list of the best new songs of the week. Hozier’s “Why Would You Be Loved” is definitely worth listening to on repeat, and so are the latest singles by Rachel Chinouriri, Debbii Dawson, Kings of Leon, Kate Nash, and more.

Taylor Swift – “So Long, London”

Hozier – “Why Would You Be Loved”

Pearl Jam – “Wreckage”

Debbii Dawson – “Happy World”

Rachel Chinouriri – “It Is What It Is”

Sia – “Fame Won’t Love You” (feat. Paris Hilton)

Kings Of Leon – “Nothing To Do”

Cigarettes After S-x – “Dark Vacay”

Kate Nash – “Space Odyssey 2001”

Kygo, Zak Abel – “For Life” ft. Nile Rodgers

The release date of Billie Eilish’s new album is just a month away, and expectations are running high! Shortly after announcing the release of Hit Me Hard and Soft, the Grammy winner decided to share another crucial piece of info with her fans—the album’s official tracklist.

Eilish announced Hit Me Hard and Soft earlier this month, and its tracklist was leaked by Rolling Stone story after the album announcement. She slammed the magazine for posting the tracklist before she was ready to share it with the world, thus disrupting her vision for the album rollout.

Eilish eventually decided to take things into her own hands and revealed that Hit Me Hard and Soft will feature a total of ten brand-new songs. “Skinny” will serve as its opening track, and it will be joined by songs “Birds of Feather”, “Wildflower”, and “L’Amour De Ma Vie”, among others.

Eilish previously revealed she’s not intending to release any singles ahead of the album’s release. She described Hit Me Hard and Soft as a “diverse yet cohesive collection of songs, ideally listened to in its entirety from beginning to end.”

Hit Me Hard and Soft was produced by Eilish’s brother and frequent collaborator Finneas O’Connell, and it will hit the shelves on May 17.

The collaboration between Charli XCX and Troye Sivan is a gift that keeps on giving, and they’re getting ready to hit the road by each other’s side. The duo announced their joint tour Charli XCX & Troye Sivan Present: Sweat, which will take them all around North America.

Hozier made quite a splash with his latest single “Too Sweet”, and this song is slowly overtaking the charts all around the world. Hozier’s viral hit reached No. 1 on the Official Singles Chart in the UK, becoming his first single to top the charts in this country.

“Too Sweet” soared to the top with 61,000 chart units and 6.7 million streams during its latest week on the chart. This is his second song to make it to the top ten in the UK, following his breakout single “Take Me To Church”, which peaked at No. 2 in 2014.

Hozier was overwhelmed by the unexpected success of “Too Sweet” and thanked the fans who helped this song soar to new heights.

“Enormous thank you to everyone in the UK for all their support. I was taken aback by the response for Too Sweet and am thrilled people are enjoying it. Looking forward to being back in July for the upcoming shows!” said Hozier in a statement to Official Charts.

“Too Sweet” was released as one of the songs from the singer’s new EP Unheard, which serves as a companion piece to his latest studio album Unreal Earth. It also hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Rock and Alternative Songs chart and reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Hozier’s second single in the top ten in the U.S.

April is shaping up to be a great month for new music, and this week has given us a long list of amazing new songs. Some of them made it to our list of the best songs of the week, starting with new tracks by Dua Lipa, Maggie Rogers, Girl in Red, and Tinashe.

Dua Lipa’s “Illusion” is definitely the week’s most talked-about new track, and it deserves all the attention coming its way. It’s the third single from her new album Radical Optimism, and it perfectly captures its nostalgic, Britpop-inspired sound.

This week also marked the release of Metro Boomin and Future’s second collaborative album We Still Don’t Trust You, and its title track made it to our list. Speaking of new albums, Maggie Rogers and Girl in Red made a comeback with their latest LPs this week and truly impressed us with their new sound.

It was a great week for female artists overall, and the songs that made the cut cover a wide range of different genres. In addition to Maggie Rogers and Girl in Red representing alternative pop-rock, R&B artists Chlöe, Tinashe, and Willow also made it to our list alongside the rising country star Tanner Adell.

Dua Lipa – “Illusion”

Linkin Park – “QWERTY”

Maggie Rogers – “The Kill”

Girl in Red – “I’m Back”

Future, Metro Boomin – “We Still Don’t Trust You”

The release date of Billie Eilish’s new album is just a month away, and expectations are running high! Shortly after announcing the release of Hit Me Hard and Soft, the Grammy winner decided to share another crucial piece of info with her fans—the album’s official tracklist.

Eilish announced Hit Me Hard and Soft earlier this month, and its tracklist was leaked by Rolling Stone story after the album announcement. She slammed the magazine for posting the tracklist before she was ready to share it with the world, thus disrupting her vision for the album rollout.

Eilish eventually decided to take things into her own hands and revealed that Hit Me Hard and Soft will feature a total of ten brand-new songs. “Skinny” will serve as its opening track, and it will be joined by songs “Birds of Feather”, “Wildflower”, and “L’Amour De Ma Vie”, among others.

Eilish previously revealed she’s not intending to release any singles ahead of the album’s release. She described Hit Me Hard and Soft as a “diverse yet cohesive collection of songs, ideally listened to in its entirety from beginning to end.”

Hit Me Hard and Soft was produced by Eilish’s brother and frequent collaborator Finneas O’Connell, and it will hit the shelves on May 17.

Hozier made quite a splash with his latest single “Too Sweet”, and this song is slowly overtaking the charts all around the world. Hozier’s viral hit reached No. 1 on the Official Singles Chart in the UK, becoming his first single to top the charts in this country.

“Too Sweet” soared to the top with 61,000 chart units and 6.7 million streams during its latest week on the chart. This is his second song to make it to the top ten in the UK, following his breakout single “Take Me To Church”, which peaked at No. 2 in 2014.

Hozier was overwhelmed by the unexpected success of “Too Sweet” and thanked the fans who helped this song soar to new heights.

“Enormous thank you to everyone in the UK for all their support. I was taken aback by the response for Too Sweet and am thrilled people are enjoying it. Looking forward to being back in July for the upcoming shows!” said Hozier in a statement to Official Charts.

“Too Sweet” was released as one of the songs from the singer’s new EP Unheard, which serves as a companion piece to his latest studio album Unreal Earth. It also hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Rock and Alternative Songs chart and reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Hozier’s second single in the top ten in the U.S.

Dua Lipa’s “Illusion” is definitely the week’s most talked-about new track, and it deserves all the attention coming its way. It’s the third single from her new album Radical Optimism, and it perfectly captures its nostalgic, Britpop-inspired sound.

This week also marked the release of Metro Boomin and Future’s second collaborative album We Still Don’t Trust You, and its title track made it to our list. Speaking of new albums, Maggie Rogers and Girl in Red made a comeback with their latest LPs this week and truly impressed us with their new sound.

It was a great week for female artists overall, and the songs that made the cut cover a wide range of different genres. In addition to Maggie Rogers and Girl in Red representing alternative pop-rock, R&B artists Chlöe, Tinashe, and Willow also made it to our list alongside the rising country star Tanner Adell.

Dua Lipa – “Illusion”

Linkin Park – “QWERTY”

Maggie Rogers – “The Kill”

Girl in Red – “I’m Back”

Future, Metro Boomin – “We Still Don’t Trust You”
