]]>The Nicolás Méndez-directed visual sees Cabello embarking on what seems to be her villain era alongside Playboi Carti. “I Luv It” music video is a collection of some pretty wild scenes, and it sees Cabello pouring herself a glass of gasoline, being chased by police dogs, climbing up a palm tree, and sitting in a hospital waiting room with an arrow shot through her heart.
Cabello discussed the meaning behind this song in a recent cover story with Paper magazine and said it’s rooted in those very rare few times when she felt incredible chemistry with someone.
“Part of that cocktail is also the emotional drama between you and that person, and the chaos and butterflies and nerves and passion. It’s unsustainable and not peaceful and exhausting, but also, I love it,” she explained.
“I Luv It” was released as the lead single from Cabello’s upcoming fourth studio album C,XOXO, set to be released later this year via Geffen and Interscope.

]]>The Cliqua-directed visual opens with a close-up of Madonna, delivering the song’s opening line “I’ve seen the devil/ Down Sunset/ In every place/ In every face,” before shifting to the aerial shots of a lavish hillside mansion hidden deep in the mountains.
As the video progresses, we watch The Weeknd, Madonna, and Playboi Carti living their best lives, enjoying their own luxe spaces, while delivering their verses.
“Popular” had a pretty complicated rollout long before its lavish music video hit the shelves. It was initially meant to be released as a part of the soundtrack of The Weeknd’s HBO series The Idol. He even told Zane Lowe that Madonna was “the ultimate co-sign for this song, for this album, and for this TV show” because she’s the ultimate pop star.
“Popular” was eventually released on June 2, 2023, on the deluxe edition of the Weeknd’s greatest hits album The Highlights. It managed to hit the top ten in several countries around the world, including the UK, Canada, and Australia.

]]>The single came with a music video that takes place in an office building and what appears to be an abandoned garage. Carti and Scott take turns delivering bars while, at one point, Carti can be seen throwing money at a dancer.
This is the fourth collaboration between Playboi Carti and Travis Scott. The duo first got together on 2017’s single “Green & Purple” before teaming for “Love Hurts,” which was part of Carti’s 2018 album Die Lit. Carti later returned the favor, appearing on “Fe!n” from Scott’s most recent studio effort Utopia.
Playboi Carti is currently gearing up for the release of his third studio album, currently titled I Am Music, which is expected to drop at some point in 2023. This will be Carti’s first new record since Whole Lotta Red from 2020.
Scott, on the other hand, released Utopia in the summer of 2023. The album debuted at No. 1 on the US Billboard 200 charts while topping the charts in more than 20 other countries. It also got nominated at the upcoming Grammy Awards in the Best Rap Album category.

]]>The post Best New Songs of the Week appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>This week marked the release of several new albums, but Foo Fighters’ But Here We Are is the buzziest of them all. The ten-minute track “The Teacher” was unleashed as the album’s fourth single ahead of its release, and it made it to our list of best songs.
This has also been an amazing week for epic collaboration and soundtrack music. Some of the songs on our list hail from hit movies and TV shows, including Ed Sheeran’s “A Beautiful Game” from Ted Lasso, Metro Boomin’s hip-hop infused “Calling” from Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, The Weeknd’s “Popular” from The Idol, and “Watati” by Karol G and Aldo Ranks from Barbie.
Most of these songs are amazing collaborations between our favorite artists, but the list of A-list match-ups doesn’t end there. Latto and Cardi B gave us another show-stopping female-lead hip-hop duet with “Put It On Da Floor Again”, Lana Del Rey and her dad Rob Grant joined forces for “Lost at Sea”, and Nelly Furtado made her highly-anticipated comeback with “Eat Your Man” featuring Dom Dolla.

]]>The Idol Vol. 1 will feature the songs that The Weeknd co-wrote alongside Metro Boomin and Mike Dean. “Double Fantasy” featuring Future was released as its first single, and The Weeknd just dropped “Popular” ft. Playboi Carti and Madonna ahead of The Idol premiere this Friday.
The music video for this song was filmed during the show’s world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival last month, and it features The Idol cast and crew, including the director Sam Levinson and the leading lady Lily-Rose Depp.
The Weeknd discussed The Idol soundtrack with Interview Magazine and cited David Bowie, Prince, and Pink Floyd as his main inspiration.
“I’ve been inspired by The Wall and Purple Rain and when Bowie was doing it, but even in films like Shaft, the music is literally telling the story of the film. But I want to take it to the next level. I want to challenge myself and I feel like, as a musician, I’m the best I’ve ever been,” The Weeknd explained.

In addition to the three headliners, the lineup will also include Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Yachty, 21 Savage, Kodak Black, City Girls, Offset, Don Toliver, Ice Spice, and GloRilla.
Rolling Loud is also taking place in California this year with a similar lineup, with Playboi Carti and Travis Scott serving as headliners. The New York edition of the festival was canceled back in March, and the organizers invited festival goers to join them in Miami for what they described as their “biggest, best festival of the year.”
“For the last few years, we’ve made some legendary moments happen in Queens… Due to logistical factors beyond our control, Rolling Loud will not return to New York in 2023. But don’t worry, this isn’t ‘goodbye,’ more like ‘see you later,’” read the festival’s statement.
