As summer winds down, some of the world’s biggest musicians are ramping things up. This week, everyone from Doja Cat to Laufey, Sombr and Stray Kids have dropped new releases — and Billboard wants to know which is your favorite.
Starting with the California rapper: Doja has finally shared the first taste of her long-awaited, highly anticipated new album, Vie, in the form of single “Jealous Type.” Arriving a little over a month ahead of the LP, the song finds the hitmaker blending flashy ’80s pop aesthetics with her signature spitfire bars on a recording that bodes well for the rest of what’s to come for her post-Scarlet era.
But while Doja fans will have to wait several more weeks for her new album, numerous other artists unveiled full-lengths this week. Laufey once again demonstrated her classical pop prowess on third album A Matter of Time, while TikTok sensation Sombr unleashed his debut long-form project — featuring Billboard Hot 100 hit “Back to Friends” and “Undressed” — on Friday (Aug. 22). Plus, hip-hop fans were especially well-fed this week, with BigXThaPlug dropping I Hope You’re Happy, Kid Cudi sharing Free and Offset releasing Kiari, while both K-pop phenoms Stray Kids and Sacramento rock icons Deftones unveiled LPs as well: Karma and private music, respectively.
And even though that’s certainly a ton of new music to get through at once, Billboard still wants to know which one you think stands out the most from the rest. Tell us your favorite by voting for your release of choice in the poll below.
