]]>The National kicked the week off by dropping a surprise album Laugh Track on Monday, which serves as the companion piece to First Two Pages of Frankenstein. Its title single features Phoebe Bridgers and it’s one of the album’s standout songs.
Doja Cat’s Scarlet is definitely the most buzzed-about album to hit the shelves this Friday, and she created a lot of commotion while promoting it in the past few months. The album’s standard edition featured 15 tracks, including the newly released single “Agora Hills”.
Scarlet isn’t the only highly-anticipated new album to come out this week. Kylie Minogue built a lot of buzz for her new album Tension thanks to her viral hit “Padam Padam” and gave us several more amazing disco-inspired tracks including “Hold On to Now”.
The rest of our list for this week is equally remarkable and includes new music from Shakira, Blink-182, Troye Sivan, Bleachers, and Tom Odell.

]]>Some of the week’s best new songs hail from newly released albums, starting with Hozier’s Unreal Unearth. Several of the songs from this LP were previously released as singles or featured on his EP Eat You Young, but the album itself gave us several amazing new songs, including “Damage Gets Done” ft. Brandi Carlile.
This week also marked the release of Reneé Rapp’s debut studio album Snow Angel, accompanied by the music video for “Pretty Girls”. Jon Batiste’s new album also made it to our list, and “Uneasy” ft. Lil Wayne is one of its most notable standouts.
When it comes to the viral hits for this week, Usher’s “Boyfriend” certainly created the most buzz online—mostly thanks to its Las Vegas-set music video starring Keke Palmer.
The rest of our list for this week features an interesting mix of different genres, including new music by Anitta, Charlie Puth, Thirty Seconds To Mars, The National, Jessie Reyez, and many more.

]]>Most of the songs on our list hail from newly released albums, covering many different genres. The National’s First Two Pages of Frankenstein is our favorite new release, and each song on this LP deserves a mention, but none of them created more buzz than “The Alcott” featuring Taylor Swift.
Jack Harlow’s Jackman came out of nowhere—quite literarily—since the rapper announced its release just a few days before dropping ten new songs, including “Common Ground”. Labrinth and Diplo also released new albums this week and gave us a few amazing collaborations along the way.
Bebe Rexha’s latest album Bebe is also a collaboration-heavy record featuring several music legends, starting with the country icon Dolly Parton, featured on her new single “Seasons”.
Our list this week also includes new songs from Kesha, PJ Harvey, Niall Horan, and Jessie Ware, so check it out and choose your favorite.

]]>Aaron Dessner and Matt Berninger recently set down with The Telegraph to discuss their upcoming album First Two Pages of Frankenstein but also took a moment to discuss their collaborations with several pop superstars, including Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift.
Berninger revealed that both “Cardigan” and “Willow” could’ve been The National songs, but he didn’t have a lot of luck with them, so Dessner eventually sent them to Swift.
“I always have a lot of music to work on, and I am looking for something to connect emotionally. The reverse has happened too, where Aaron wrote something for Taylor, and I dove right in. It works both ways,” he told The Telegraph.
“Cardigan” and “Willow” were released as lead singles from Swift’s albums Folklore and Evermore, and both debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The National also collaborated with Swift on the Evermore song “Coney Island”, and she’ll soon be featured on their album First Two Pages of Frankenstein, set to come out on April 28.

]]>This has been an amazing week for female-centric hip-hop remixes, the likes of which we haven’t seen since “Savage” and “Say So” remixes hit the shelves around the same time in 2020. This time around, the remix wars are fought between “Kill Bill” by SZA ft. Doja Cat and “Princess Diana” by Ice Spice ft. Nicki Minaj – and we’re all winners here.
As for the new album releases this week, Metallica’s 72 Seasons will certainly make the biggest mark, and we made sure to include its latest single “Sleepwalk My Life Away”. Angel Olsen also impressed us with her latest EP Forever Means and its title song.
It’s also been a great week for pop music, with Kelly Clarkson making a comeback with double single “Mine/Me” and Céline Dion impressing us with a new song from Love Again soundtrack. Even Post Malone made a shift to pop with his new song “Chemical”, and used it to tease his fifth studio album.

]]>The post The National Join Forces With Phoebe Bridgers for “Your Mind is Not Your Friend” appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>According to the band’s press release, this song “confronts the entanglements of the habitual mind and the overwhelming nature of scrutiny” and frontman Matt Berninger wrote it while dealing with writer’s block. He tried to overcome it by grabbing a random book from a shelf, and its plot inspired him to write “Your Mind Is Not Your Friend”.
“The book starts off with the narrator on a voyage near the Arctic Circle, and that image of being adrift helped me to write about feeling disconnected and lost and lacking in purpose,” he explained in a statement.
The music video for this track was directed by Phoebe Bridgers’ brother Jackson. It was filmed at a park in Los Angeles and sees Berninger and his brother Tom frolic in a park, trying to relive their childhood memories.
“Your Mind Is Not Your Friend” has been released as the fourth single from The National’s upcoming album First Two Pages of Frankenstein, following “Tropic Morning News”, “New Order T-Shirt”, and “Eucalyptus”. This record will hit the shelves on April 28, and it will also feature collaborations with Sufjan Stevens and Taylor Swift.

]]>The National’s new music is always worth waiting for, and they managed to create a lot of buzz for their ninth studio album, which will feature collaborations with Sufjan Stevens, Phoebe Bridgers, and Taylor Swift.
The British pop princess already dropped five singles from her upcoming fifth studio album, including “Let It Die” and “Easy Lover” ft. Big Sean and we’ll soon get to hear it in full.
The metal legends haven’t shared a new album with the world since 2016, but they’re ready for a comeback. The album’s title 72 Seasons refers to the “first 18 years of our lives that form our true or false selves.”
Bebe Rexha created quite a splash and topped the charts around the world with her David Guetta collaboration “I’m Good (Blue)”, which serves as one of the singles from her upcoming third studio album
NBA YoungBoy already dropped two albums in less than a year, and the third one is on the way. The rapper already has two No. 1 LPs under his belt and he’ll try to keep the momentum going with Don’t Try This at Home.

]]>The post The National Drops Music Video for Melancholic New Single “Eucalyptus” appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>The National previously played this song live on tour during their performance at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY. After getting a raw, immediate feeling from the audience, they decided to put the song on the album, even using some of the footage recorded during their live performance.
According to the band’s vocalist Matt Berninger, this song explores similar themes as the rest of the album, focusing on the fallout of a relationship.
“There’s a lot of looking into the abyss and wondering if a relationship has run its course. ‘Eucalyptus” is about a couple splitting up their possessions after a breakup… It’s about all those little things you end up having to think about when you’ve become so connected to someone,” said Berninger in a press release.
“Eucalyptus” was released as the third single from the band’s upcoming album First Two Pages of Frankenstein. This LP will hit the shelves on April 28, and it will feature collaborations with Sufjan Stevens, Phoebe Bridgers, and Taylor Swift.

]]>This week marked the release of new albums by Måneskin and Trippie Redd, so it’s not a shocker they made it to our list. Trippie Redd teased Mansion Musik by dropping a music video for “Atlantis” ft. Chief Keef, but “Fully Loaded” ft. Future and Lil Baby made a bigger impression on us.
Måneskin has given us 17 songs on their third studio album Rush! and they all deserve a spot on our list, but we’re going with “Bla Bla” since we got to hear four singles before the album hit the shelves, including “Gossip” ft. Tom Morello from last week.
This week has been amazing for alternative releases overall, with new songs from The National and Boygenius hitting the shelves. Fall Out Boy also made an epic comeback this week and teased their new album So Much (for) Stardust with lead single “Love from the Other Side”.
There are a few more surprises on our list, so check it out and get ready to listen to some amazing new songs on repeat!
