Whether you’re on the Westside like Jhené Aiko or in Rome like Dove Cameron — or perhaps somewhere on the road like Eric Church — this week’s batch of new music releases has something for everyone.
Aiko kicks things off with her first album in six years, Westside Whimsy, which features an impressive 20 tracks as well as big-name collaborators such as Kendrick Lamar and Tyga. Meanwhile, Cameron is just getting started in terms of introducing fans to a new album era, dropping “When in Rome” — a lovey-dovey ode to fiancé Damiano David of Måneskin — as the lead single ahead of her debut full-length coming this year.
Also new this week is Church’s new single, “On the Road,” a reflective look back at his experiences on tour that helps chauffeur even more fresh tracks from the likes of Slayyyter — who keeps the momentum of her ascendant star’s rise going with grunge-pop single “Crank 2” — and the Jack Antonoff-led Bleachers, which unveils its Practical Magic 2 track “Caught Myself Believing” amid a five-night stint at The Troubadour in Los Angeles. Plus, Rachel Chinouriri, Rema, Cage the Elephant, Shygirl, Wampi, Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter are out with new tracks, while LAGOS drops 11-track LP Las Cosas Que Solo Se Hacen En La Noche and Bonobo returns with Distance in Static.
