After kicking 2022 off by dropping his album Dawn FM, The Weeknd decided to celebrate its anniversary by sharing a music video for “Is There Someone Else?” Another amazing music video to drop this week saw Fletcher and Kelsea Ballerini join forces in a poetic visual for “Better Version”, giving us an amazing collaboration that we didn’t even know we needed.

This week also marked the release of several new albums, most notably YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s I Rest My Case. The rapper celebrated its release by sharing several singles this week, and we’re choosing “Black” as our favorite.

Our list for this week includes an interesting mix of different genres, from Shania Twain’s country bop “Giddy Up!” to Skrillex’s comeback songs “Way Back” and “Rumble” and Quavo’s tribute to Takeoff “Without You”. Stick around to check out the rest of our list, and see if your favorite songs of the week made the cut.

Kelsea is scheduled to be released on March 20th, and it will feature Ballerini’s previously released singles “Homecoming Queen?” and “Club”. She wrote her latest track “LA” in-between tour dates and described it as the most vulnerable thing she’s publicly shared.

“I wrote this song alone on a bathroom floor in Los Angeles last year feeling equal parts like somebody and like nobody, surrounded and completely alone, inspired and terrified, on top of the world and filled to the brim with anxiety,” the singer shared on Instagram.

The rest of Ballerini’s new album follows a similar formula because she wanted to create a record that puts her on a first-name basis with her fans. She described it as an honest, country, experimental, fun and introspective record and we can’t wait to hear it when it hits the shelves in March.
