New Music Friday Releases | [View In Browse](r NEW MUSIC ALERT Superstars 'Sweet Dream' by Alessia Cara Grammy Award®-winning singer-songwriter Alessia Cara raises the curtain on her eagerly awaited upcoming third album with the release of two brand new songs, âSweet Dreamâ and âShapeshifter,â via Def Jam Recordings. âThe theme of duality is recurring on this next album, so it made sense to release two songs to introduce both ends of the thread,â Alessia explained. âThe first side being âSweet Dreamâ which represents the hardship & helplessness surrounding my last couple of years. Itâs about insomnia and the hoops my brain jumps through at night while Iâm supposed to be asleep. Never fun! Then on the flip side, thereâs âShapeshifterâ which is witty and sophisticated in a way that I feel represents the more mature and light-hearted parts of the album. I had to go through lots of pain to regain my footing and this song feels unwavering, despite it not being about the happiest of things.â [Listen To 'Sweet Dream' Now]( [Listen To 'Shapeshifter' Now]( 'It Gets Better' by Swedish House Mafia Global supergroup Swedish House Mafia have returned with a massive showing of momentum with their new song and video âIt Gets Betterâ alongside an announcement of signing to the prestigious Republic Records as well as being managed by the formidable SALXCO MANAGEMENT.

[Listen To Track Now]( Rising Stars 'People Watching' by Conan Gray Gearing up for another chapter, platinum selling, chart topping, pop singer and songwriter Conan Gray reveals a new single entitled âPeople Watchingâ today. On the new song Conan says: ââPeople Watchingâ is for all my fellow lonely people who wonder what itâs like to be deeply in love. Iâve never dated anyone in my entire life, so Iâve spent so many years of my life watching perfect couples sit in cafes and share coffee, whispering sweet nothings to each other. I canât help but fantasize about what it must be like to feel that emotion. Thereâs nothing I love more than watching them exist in their little world, where seemingly nobody else exists to them. The songâs lyrics are things Iâve eavesdropped off of times I used to spend people watching at the cafe in college. Studying them living their lives lets me live vicariously through them, in a way.â Conan co-wrote the track with Grammy Award winning Julia Michaels and frequent collaborator Dan Nigro (Olivia Rodrigo) and enlisted Grammy Award winning Serben Ghenea for mixing. After teasing the track earlier this month it received over 115,000 pre-saves leading into release.

Discussing the single, Lauren says: âThe opening line (killing your idols is a chore) was something I wrote after listening to some friends arguing about the present day implications of loving certain problematic male artists - I was struck by the lengths that people would go to in order to excuse their heroes and how that was so juxtaposed to my own experiences in the world. Women have to constantly justify their right to exist and negotiate for their own space. We're told that Bad Things don't happen to Good Girls. That if you curate yourself to fit the ideal - keep yourself small and safe and acceptable - you will be alright, and it's just not f-ing true.â [Listen To Track Now]( 'Holy Smokes' by Trippie Redd featuring Lil' Uzi Vert Multi- platinum selling recording artist Trippie Redd releases a new single "Holy Smokes" ft.

When asked about how the collaboration with AG Club came together, Issac Pech of Peach Tree Rascals said, âI became a fan and learned they were from the Bay Area too which made me want to reach out cause I knew they wouldnât be on any funny LA shit. After connecting on social media, it turned out they were also fans of what we were doing, dating back to a few years ago which was fire as fuck to me. I find it really cool that before we all even knew each other at all we were already listening to each otherâs work and became fans of each other. I think that made shit more organic from the jump and now our campâs all know each other and weâre all friends. Weâre hella excited to work on this shit with them.â [Listen To Track Now]( ALBUMS TO CHECK OUT Faith by Pop Smoke Today, Victor Victor Worldwide/Republic Records releases the highly anticipated new Pop Smoke album FAITH.
