May is in full bloom, and so is the new music scene. As the first full week of the month comes to a close, Billboard has rounded up all of the biggest releases that just hit streaming services, including Charli xcx, MUNA and more — and we want to know which one is your favorite.
The Brat summer ringleader’s new single, “Rock Music,” is arguably the most talked-about, marking a major pivot away from Charli’s signature club-ready dance tracks. She’s made it clear that the song precedes a whole new album she has in the works, which won’t sound anything like her 2024 breakout. “If I’d made another album that felt more dance-leaning, it would have felt really hard, really sad,” she told British Vogue in April. “What’s interesting for me is to bend the possibilities of what my perspective on that could be.”
Other new singles that came out this week are “Big Dog” by The Last Dinner Party, “Sell My Soul” by PJ Morton and “Lines in the Carpet” by Ashley McBryde, as well as “Dancing on the Wall” by Kelela, “Cada Vez Me Gusta Más” by Grupo Frontera x Alejandro Fernández, “Holding On to Lonely” by Waylon Payne and “I Need U” by TSHA, HoneyLuv and Ellie Maxwell. But some of the biggest releases of the beginning of May are the full-lengths released by acts such as MUNA — who returned with new album Dancing on the Wall — and J Balvin and Ryan Castro, who joined forces on Omerta. Plus, Lykke Li unveiled The Afterparty, Little Simz dropped Sugar Girl, and The Chainsmokers and Oaks teamed up on Love Is Kind.
But which one is best? That’s up to you. Vote for your favorite release in the poll below.
