The month of May is ending on a particularly strong weekend for new music releases, with Ariana Grande, Labrinth, aespa and more superstar acts all dropping fresh projects.
Starting strong with the Wicked singer-actress, new single “Hate That I Made You Love Me” finally arrived Friday (May 29), marking the first piece of Grande’s new album Petal that fans have heard. The brutally honest track calling out the gap between her real self and others’ perceptions of her — whether that’s a love interest or critics — is also the first song the Grammy winner has dropped since releasing Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead in March last year.
Amid his fallout with HBO over their longstanding collaboration on the Euphoria soundtrack, Labrinth also unleashed his new album, Cosmic Opera Act II, on Friday. K-pop’s edgiest girl group has a new full-length out in the form of aespa’s sophomore LP Lemonade, which follows September mini-album Rich Man.
But that only scratches the surface of all the music that arrives this week, which also sees buzzy new albums from Latto, Violet Grohl, Los Enanitos Verdes and K CAMP, as well as tracks from Jungle, Little Big Town and Kaitlin Butts. Plus, What So Not and Alina Pash collaborated on single “Everest,” while Skrillex, Randomer, Blawan and MC Dricka joined forces on “Thistle.”
But which of those projects is your favorite? Before summer goes full throttle with the fast-approaching month of June, take a moment to vote for which new release you think is the best of the last week of May below.
