This week’s musical landscape offers a diverse array of sounds, spanning from mainstream pop sensations and the return of a folk-inspired storyteller to a powerful political statement from a legendary rock icon. With such a varied slate of debuts, we want to know: which new release has captured your attention?
Leading the pack is Noah Kahan with “The Great Divide,” the titular anthem of his highly anticipated fourth studio album. Slated for an April 24 release via Mercury Records, the track is set to receive a high-profile visual debut, with the music video premiering during a commercial break at this Sunday’s Grammy Awards.
Adding to the week’s depth is Labrinth with “Debris,” a standout piece from his freshly launched project, Cosmic Opera ACT I. This haunting, orchestral-infused track marks the beginning of an ambitious new series for the British singer-songwriter under Columbia Records.
Los Angeles trio Cannons also makes a return with “Starlight,” the lead single from their upcoming fifth studio effort, Everything Glows, arriving March 27. Frontwoman Michelle Joy describes the new material as the band’s most intimate work yet, born from a period of deep introspection and personal growth.
In a more mysterious turn, Melanie Martinez surprised fans with the release of “POSSESSION.” The track arrived alongside a cryptic message signaling a dramatic evolution in her artistic narrative: “Welcome to Melanie Martinez’s new world order – Cry Baby is dead.”
Rounding out the week, Bruce Springsteen offers a biting social commentary on the recent unrest in Minnesota with “Streets of Minneapolis.” The lyrics provide a vivid critique of federal intervention, addressing the tension between protesters and authorities with the Boss’s signature grit.
