It’s everyone’s favorite time of the week again – New Music Friday is here to bring you a new wave of music to update your playlists! This week we have fresh sounds from the industry’s biggest names and rising stars taking center stage, meaning this round-up is packed with exciting collaborations, reflective lyrics and genre-bending sounds!

In what could easily be one of the most electrifying collaborations of the year, Ariana Grande has joined Charly xcx on “Sympathy is a Knife.” This synth masterpiece blends Charli’s edgy sound and production with Ariana’s ethereal, powerhouse voice. This track plays off the metaphor of sympathy being as sharp as a knife, diving into the complexities of being emotionally vulnerable. This collaboration creates an explosive energy that will, no doubt, have fans keeping this song on repeat!

Pharrell Williams and Tyler, The Creator celebrate their Virginia roots with new track, “VIRGINIA Boy.” You can hear Pharrell’s signature production throughout the song, paired with Tyler’s unique lyrical style, giving the song a nostalgic feel. The verses pay homage to growing up in Virginia with a soulful hook that holds it all together, making this a standout collaboration where both artists strengths are highlighted.

“Stoned Alone” pairs up, Meghan Patrick with Caitlyn Smith in a moody and reflective track, diving deep into the feeling of self-isolation and solitude. Meghan’s powerhouse smokey vocals creates a powerful narrative about heartbreak and how you need to protect your peace, even if that means losing someone. This song is bound to be a favorite for anyone who would rather be alone than with someone who doesn’t deserve your time.

Maggie Rogers returns with “In The Living Room,” a song of reflection on love, memory, and moving on. This track is a laid-back, reflective song that highlights Maggie’s way of creating songs that resonate emotionally with listeners. Capturing the emotional aftermath of a relationship, morphing memories with the acceptance of moving on, this song reflects on both the pain and the beauty of holding onto the memory of people. Maggie reminds listeners that memories can be both beautiful and painful and they shape our journey of healing and self-discovery.
