Victoria Monét, Drake, and Noah Kahan Featured in New Music Release Poll for the Week

Noah Kahan leads the first New Music Friday of October with “Draw You Out,” a single from the soundtrack for The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping. Aaron Dessner cowrote and coproduced the track. “If I have to sit there in the studio and put a lot of love into it, I don’t know if I can connect with it if I don’t feel like parts of me are in there,” Kahan told Billboard about the song. “I really do feel proud of being able to find that balance on this song.”

Other single releases this week include Lil Nas X with his comeback track “World’s Greatest,” which is dedicated to his late mother, and Holly Humberstone with “Too Cute to Be Lonely,” the lead single from her upcoming deluxe album Cruel World…So It Ends.
