\n\tThis week, Doja Cat travels back in time, Laufey meets her moment and Sombr makes a sparkling debut. Check out all of this week\u2019s picks below:<\/p>\n
\n\tDoja Cat, \u201cJealous Type\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\tDoja Cat has always existed as a singer and rapper, but on new single \u201cJealous Type,\u201d she seems to exist between two eras: while the single from upcoming album Vie <\/em>proudly wears its \u201880s rhythmic pop influences on its tiger-print sleeves, Doja carries a modern ferocity, pummeling her relationship woes in the second verse with lines like, \u201cI don\u2019t need a pin-drop or a text tonight \/ I ain\u2019t even coming out with you, you don\u2019t wanna show me off to your ex or your friends tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\tLaufey, A Matter of Time<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\tLaufey\u2019s trajectory cannot be replicated \u2014 she\u2019s a Chinese-Icelandic singer, composer and multi-instrumentalist, revitalizing jazz and mastering classical pop in front of packed arenas \u2014 and her singular spot in modern music makes A Matter of Time<\/em> so triumphant: her latest full-length sounds unstuck from sonic or storytelling expectations, and thus, Laufey once again surpasses them.<\/p>\n\n\tSombr, I Barely Know Her<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\t\u201cBack to Friends\u201d and \u201cUndressed,\u201d Sombr\u2019s pair of streaming smashes, were not flukes: the singer-songwriter born Shane Boose is adept at refracting immediate pop hooks through an earnest croon that\u2019s ripe for alternative radio play, and on debut album I Barely Know Her<\/em>, he handles every genre exercise \u2014 from the slick dance-funk workout \u201c12 to 12\u201d to the breathtaking folk ballad \u201cCanal Street\u201d \u2014 with ease, talent and truth.<\/p>\n\n\tBigXThaPlug, I Hope You\u2019re Happy<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\tLove \u201cAll the Way,\u201d BigXThaPlug\u2019s top 10 team-up with Bailey Zimmerman? You\u2019ll find a lot more to embrace on I Hope You\u2019re Happy<\/em>, the Dallas hip-hop star\u2019s full-length country foray: while Nashville staples like Jelly Roll, Darius Rucker, Luke Combs and Ella Langley handle the hooks, BigX bodies the rap verses, resulting in a mash-up jamboree that\u2019s earnest, commercially viable and a whole lot of fun.<\/p>\n\n\tKid Cudi, Free<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\tScott Mescudi\u2019s creativity runs in so many different directions, and across various multimedia platforms, that a new, proper Kid Cudi album always feels like both a gift and a check-in with an old friend; Free <\/em>lives up to its title, composed of lyrical fearlessness and fuzzed-out musical explorations (crank \u201cTruman Show\u201d up to the absolute maximum volume, please) that made him such a beloved figure at the start of his career.<\/p>\n\n\tStray Kids, KARMA<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\tAfter conquering charts and arena stages around the world, Stray Kids spend new album KARMA <\/em>challenging themselves: there\u2019s plenty of their hard-charging, electro-rap pop sound across the best-selling K-pop group\u2019s latest proper album, but songs like \u201cIn My Head\u201d and \u201cGhost\u201d tweak their formula in compelling new ways, and nod toward Stray Kids\u2019 musical growth.<\/p>\n\n\tOffset, KIARI<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\tAs one might expect for a project titled after his birth name, KIARI<\/em> finds Offset at his most vulnerable, with the Migos mainstay offering a snapshot of his whirlwind life and memories of his rise within popular hip-hop while joined by a wrecking crew of guest stars, including Gunna, Teezo Touchdown, YoungBoy Never Broke Again and Key Glock, the lattermost on the head-knocking highlight \u201cRun It Up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\tEditor\u2019s Pick: Deftones, private music<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\tDeftones\u2019 gradual rise to rock\u2019s commercial elite \u2014 in which they\u2019re playing to their biggest crowds ever, 30 years into their career \u2014 has coincided with consistently great-to-excellent studio output; when it comes to their brooding, atmospheric hard rock, private music<\/em> does not reinvent the wheel, but songs like \u201cinfinite source\u201d and \u201ccut hands\u201d contain more tempo and swagger than their recent full-lengths, and often sport thrilling highs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.billboard.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Billboard\u2019s Friday Music Guide serves as a handy guide to this Friday\u2019s most essential releases \u2014 the key music that everyone will be talking about today, and that will be dominating playlists this weekend and beyond.\u00a0 Explore See latest videos, charts and news This week, Doja Cat travels back in time, Laufey meets her moment […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1974660,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[25179],"tags":[258007,251271,309165],"class_list":["post-1974659","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music","tag-first-stream","tag-friday-music-guide","tag-genre-pop"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Doja-Cat-Laufey-Sombr-Deftones-More.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1974659","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1974659"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1974659\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1974660"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1974659"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1974659"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1974659"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
