The summer music releases just keep coming with a sprawling new batch of projects arriving the week of Friday (July 24), featuring songs and albums by Charli xcx, KATSEYE, JENNIE of BLACKPINK and more.
Starting with the dance-pop innovator’s new full-length, Music, Fashion, Film, Charli — as promised — takes a hard left from Brat to uncover a new side of herself marked by experimentation and fuzz guitar. The project follows her 2024 breakout LP as well as Wuthering Heights, the concept album she made to accompany Emerald Fennell’s film adaptation of the iconic novel, making for a fascinating three-album run that shows off the star’s impressive range.
KATSEYE’s new single, “Animal,” is another one of the buzziest recent releases, marking the girl group’s second single — following Billboard Hot 100 No. 28 hit “Pinky Up” — from upcoming EP Wild. JENNIE’s new single, “Less Than a Lover,” marks the K-pop star’s first non-BLACKPINK release since dropping her first solo album Ruby and jumping on Tame Impala’s “Dracula,” which went top 10 this summer.
Beyond those three projects, streaming services were also blessed with new sets from Tyla, The Strokes and Kenyon Dixon — A*Pop, Reality Awaits and Ego Ruins Everything, respectively, as well as tracks by Morgan Wallen, who released “Been by Now,” Fridayy, who unleashed “Haiku,” and Carter Faith, who teamed up with Laci Kaye Booth and Baby Nova for “Pearl Handled Pistol.”
