This Friday marked the release of Childish Gambino’s soundtrack album Bando Stone & the New World, and she found a perfect way to promote it. “In the Night” was released as its second single, and the Grammy-winning rapper found the best partners in crime in Jorja Smith and Amaarae.

This is only one of two collaborations to make the cut this week, and we were equally impressed by James Bay’s “Up All Night” featuring The Lumineers and Noah Kahan.

Some of our favorite indie bands also returned with new albums this week. Glass Animals unleashed I Love You So F***ing Much and gave us ten brand-new songs, including “Show Pony”. Highly Suspect dropped As Above, So Below, and “Plastic Boxes” emerged as one of their best new songs.

It’s been a good week for alternative music overall, with Wallows and Paris Paloma also making the cut, but we made sure to also put new songs by Benson Boone, Jade, Khalid, and Alessia Cara in the mix.

This week gave us several amazing new albums, but none of them compares to Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft. Her decision not to release any singles beforehand worked wonders for this album because she managed to create even more hype for its launch before rocking our world with the lead single “Lunch”.

Eilish wasn’t the only major artist to drop a new album this Friday. ZAYN made a comeback with Room Under the Stairs, and promoted its release with a new single “Stardust”, while Cage the Elephant impressed us with “Rainbow” from their new album Neon Pill.

If you’re looking for a new catchy bop to listen to on repeat this summer, you’ll find two on our list – Saweetie’s “NANi” and Bebe Rexha’s “Chase It (Mmm Da Da Da)”. It’s also been a great week for our favorite alternative bands, and Bleachers, Empire of the Sun, and Highly Suspect all made the cut, alongside Cage the Elephant.

Billie Eilish – “Lunch”

Omar Apollo – “Dispose of Me”

Saweetie – “NANi”

ZAYN – “Stardust”

Cage the Elephant – “Rainbow”

Highly Suspect – “Summertime Voodoo”

Empire of the Sun – Music on the Radio

Bebe Rexha – “Chase It (Mmm Da Da Da)”

Childish Gambino – “Little Foot Big Foot” ft. Young Nudy

Luke Combs – “Ain’t No Love In Oklahoma”
