After giving us some of the biggest summer hits, Sabrina Carpenter finally dropped her new album Short n’ Sweet in full. Its latest single “Taste” will satisfy your cravings for the catchy bubblegum pop, and she promoted it with the killer music video starring Jenna Ortega.

Short n’ Sweet is certainly the buzziest new album to hit the shelves this Friday, but it’s not the only one to rock our world. Country star Lainey Wilson promoted the release of Whirlwind with the music video for its title song, while the Irish post-punk band Fontaines D.C. made the cut with “In the Modern World” from their new album Romance.

Coldplay’s “We Pray” emerged as one of the week’s buzziest new songs, and they even brought Little Simz, Burna Boy, Elyanna, and TINI on board. Check out the rest of our list, and get ready to discover some new music by Blink-182, Elmiene, Luna Li, Magdalena Bay, Jelly Roll, and Orion Sun.

No Thank You Tour will see Simz starting off in Chicago on September 20 before playing shows in Atlanta, Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver before the end of the month. She will then head to Los Angeles for a show on October 3, followed by stops in Toronto, Montreal, and Silver Spring. The tour will wrap up with a live performance at New York’s Terminal 5 on October 11.

“It’s been a long time. Appreciate your love and patience,” Simz wrote on Twitter while sharing the tour dates.

Little Simz originally planned to embark on a 10-date tour across North America in May 2022. However, the trip was eventually scrapped, with Simz saying that the tour would leave her “in a huge deficit” if she decided to go through with it.

Little Simz released her most recent album, No Thank You, in December. The record was met with widespread critical acclaim and was recognized by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the best hip-hop albums of the year.

The four of them will all be competing for two of the ceremony’s biggest awardsùthe artists of the year and album of the year—with Sam Fender joining them in both. Adele scored her nomination with her latest LP 30, while Sheeran is competing with his new album Equals AKA =.

Sheeran’s “Bad Habits” and Adele’s “Easy on Me” are also in the running for the song of the year, but they’ll have to face some tough competition to get their hands on this trophy. The category features a total of 15 songs, including “Cold Heart” by Elton John and Dua Lipa and “Clash” by Dave and Stormzy.

What set the upcoming Brit Awards apart is the introduction of gender-neutral categories. Back in November last year, it’s been announced that the gendered categories will be removed from all future ceremonies, leading to the introduction of the British artist of the year award.

We’ll see who’ll come out victorious at this historic ceremony on February 8th, 2022, when the Brit Awards are set to take place at the O2 Arena.
