]]>Most of the songs on our list hail from the exciting new albums that hit the shelves on April 5. J. Cole took his fans off guard with the surprise release of his latest mixtape Might Delete Later, which produced 12 new songs, including “7 Minute Drill”.
Vampire Weekend finally shared their first album in five years, Only God Was Above Us, this Friday and promoted its release with “Prep-School Gangsters”. The Black Keys also returned with a new LP Ohio Players, and “On the Game” emerged as one of its best new songs.
Several rising stars weren’t threatened by Friday’s busy release schedule, and they shared new music with the world. Benson Boone’s debut album Fireworks & Rollerblades produced a new single “Cry”, while Lizzy McAlpine rocked our world with “Drunk, Running” from Older.
Our list also features several songs that serve as the promo for new albums of our favorite artists. Charli XCX dropped “B2b” from Brat, Sia joined forces with Labrinth for “Incredible” from Reasonable Woman, while Glass Animals announced their new album I Love You So F***ing Much and promoted it with lead single “Creatures in Heaven”.

]]>The British singer discussed her next era in a recent cover story for Vogue Singapore and revealed what her new album Brat has in store. She said that the conversations with her friends fueled a fun, gossipy narrative that permeates the album.
“Lyrically, this is quite a different record for me. I’ve written the songs almost in the way I would write texts to my friends or based on things I would say to them on FaceTime. We talk a lot about pop culture and music and it’s been really fun to gossip about the songs,” said Charli XCX.
She also discussed the polarizing album cover of Brat, which features the low-res image of the word “brat” on a lime-green background. The two-time Grammy nominee said she wanted to go with “an offensive, off-trend shade of green” in an attempt to trigger the idea of something being wrong and challenging our expectations of pop culture.
Brat will be released later this summer and Charli XCX promoted it with the lead single “Von Dutch”.

Charli XCX also confirmed the release of her next album this week, developed under the cheeky title Brat. “Von Dutch” was released as the first single from the singer’s sixth studio album, and it sees her embracing her signature dance-pop sound.
This week was also pretty amazing for our favorite indie girlies. St. Vincent impressed us with “Broken Man”, Girl in Red teased her next album I’m Doing It Again Baby! with the new single “I’m Sorry…”, while Fletcher impressed us with her latest single “Doing Better”.
Our list also includes “Doctor (Work It Out)” by Pharrell Williams and Miley Cyrus, Olly Alexander’s Eurovision entry “Dizzy”, plus new songs by Kacey Musgraves, Chlöe, and Cage The Elephant.

]]>The post Charli XCX is Writing Songs for Britney Spears’ New Album appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>Reportedly, Spears plans to put together a team of “chart-topping” songwriters for her first studio effort since 2016’s Glory. Charli XCX reportedly completed one song for the “Toxic” singer, while Grammy Award-nominated singer/songwriter Julia Michaels is expected to contribute in the same manner.
Aside from her successful career as a solo artist, Charli XCX has written songs for music acts like Blondie, Camila Cabello, Iggy Azalea, and will.i.am. Michaels, on the other hand, has written two songs that topped the Billboard Hot 100, Justin Bieber’s “Sorry” and Selena Gomez’s “Lose You to Love Me”.
As of now, Spears has yet to start recording any type of material. She also hasn’t met any of the songwriters working on her new music, but she provided “pointers” on the style she wants.
Since releasing Glory, Spears has only recorded two new songs, with both being collaborations. She provided vocals for the track “Hold Me Closer,” which was featured on Elton John’s The Lockdown Sessions from 2021, while teaming up with will.i.am for 2023’s single “Mind Your Business.”

]]>According to Charli XCX, the two have been quite active in sharing music ideas and turning them into reality.
“We’ve done a couple of things together. We’ve got a few ideas in the works,” Charli XCX said.
The English singer/songwriter also opened up on the dynamics of working with a person that she is also in a relationship with.
“It’s funny, I have never been in a relationship with someone that I’ve worked with, so it’s like a whole new dynamic, but it’s cool,” she explained. “There will probably be a couple of songs that he’s worked on with me.”
Charli XCX and George Daniel have teamed up on a number of songs in the past. Their first collaboration was No Rome’s 2021 single “Spinning,” which also featured The 1975’s frontman Matty Healy. The couple later collaborated on Charli XCX’s tracks “Crash,” “Selfish Girl,” and “How Can I Not Know What I Need Right Now” among others.
Charli XCX and Daniel confirmed their relationship in 2022. They announced their engagement back in November.

]]>This has been an amazing week for fans of stronger sound, with two beloved bands both surprising us with new albums. We’re talking about The Rolling Stones’ Hackney Diamonds and Blink-182’s One More Time… – two long-awaited LPs that gave us countless amazing new songs and made their way to our list of the best songs of the week.
When it comes to the rest of our list, high-profile collaborations are also having a moment. “In The City” by Charli XCX and Sam Smith and “Too Much” by The Kid LAROI, Jung Kook, and Central Cee are set to make the biggest splash, but we also added Marshmello, Pink, and Sting’s new song “Dreaming” to the mix.
Anitta, Caroline Polachek, Dove Cameron, and 21 Savage also surprised us with new music this week, so stick around and get ready to listen to their brand-new singles.

]]>After making her debut with the single “Obsessed” in 2021, Rae was determined to share her first album with the world as soon as possible, but her plans quickly fell apart. Following the leak of the music she recorded for her “lost album”, Rae decided to scrap several leaked songs and start anew.
Rae eventually decided to release these songs through official channels as a part of her first EP AR. This was her way of giving “a little sign-off” to her first chapter as a musician before moving on to the next one.
“A few of you may have heard these songs after they were unfortunately leaked last year.. but if you loved them, now you can listen to them on all streaming platforms!!! Ahhh!! If you haven’t heard them, I hope you take a listen and they make you dance!!” she wrote on Instagram.
AR hit the shelves on August 18, and the standard edition features a total of four tracks: “I Got It Bad”, “Nothing On (But the Radio)”, “It Could’ve Been U”’, and “2 Die 4” featuring Charli XCX.

]]>The post Charli XCX Drops Music Video for Hit “Barbie” Song “Speed Drive” appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>“Speed Drive” visual doesn’t include any clips from the record-breaking Barbie movie, but that doesn’t stop it from paying homage to the iconic doll. Charli XCX co-directed the music video alongside Ramez Silyan, and she can be seen driving a pink Corvette alongside Devon Lee Carlson in an empty parking lot.
The video also features a cameo from Sam Smith, who interrupts Charli XCX with a video call in the middle of the music video. Smith’s song “Man I Am” was also featured on Barbie: The Album, but the duo is seemingly teasing a new collaboration with Smith’s cheeky cameo.
“Speed Drive” was originally released as the third single from Barbie: The Album and it found significant success on the charts following its release. It reached no. 9 in the UK and made it to the Billboard Hot 100 in the US, but failed to live up to the hype of the album’s bigger hits, including Dua Lipa’s “Dance the Night”, Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?”, and “Barbie World” by Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice ft. Aqua.

]]>The post “Barbie: The Album” is a Fun But Uneven Bubblgum Pop Mixtape of Our Dreams appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>You’ve most likely heard some of the soundtrack’s best songs long before Barbie hit the theatres. It was an important part of the film’s hype machine, and Dua Lipa’s “Dance the Night”, “Barbie World” by Nicki Minaj & Ice Space, and Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For” helped set the tone Greta Gerwig’s cinematic masterpiece.
These songs happen to be some of the album’s highlights, along with PinkPantheress’ “Angel” and Chari XCX’s “Speed Drive”, but that’s also part of the problem. Barbie: The Album doesn’t hide any surprises up its sleeve, and we’ve already got to hear most of it long before it came out due to the film’s aggressive promo.
Ronson obviously wanted to cast a wide net when curating this album, giving us a mix between bubblegum pop and indie rock, but this mix doesn’t always work. Kendom’s side of the soundtrack is its weakest link, with the exception of Sam Smith’s catchy “Man I Am”. Songs by Khalid, The Kid Laroi, and Dominic Fike feel like placeholders, both in terms of this soundtrack and their overall discography.
All these flaws don’t change the fact that Barbie: The Album is pretty delightful and features several catchy bops we’ll be listening to all summer long, including Ryan Gosling’s anthem “I’m Just Ken”. Some of them are even worthy candidates for the best original song at the Oscars, but you’ll need rose-colored glasses to enjoy this soundtrack to the fullest.
