\n\tBruno Mars, \u201cI Just Might\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\tBruno Mars hasn\u2019t released a solo album in nearly a decade \u2014 but fortunately for the superstar showman, his music has always been unstuck from time constraints and modern trends. \u201cI Just Might,\u201d which precedes the long-awaited full-length The Romantic<\/em>, sashays straight from the \u201870s with funked-up guitar and canned horns, while always shoving Mars\u2019 beguiling personality straight up front, just like most of his biggest and best hits.<\/p>\n\n\tZach Bryan, With Heaven on Top<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\tAlthough Zach Bryan is prolific enough that a year-and-a-half between full-lengths feels like an eternity, With Heaven on Top<\/em>, which follows 2024\u2019s The Great American Bar Scene<\/em>, quickly makes up for the relative wait with 25 songs that examine a whirlwind period in the singer-songwriter\u2019s life \u2014 a breakup, a marriage, professional enormity amidst personal growth \u2014 with vulnerability and grace.<\/p>\n\n\tThe Kid LAROI, Before I Forget<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\tConsidering how far back he\u2019s been scoring hits, it\u2019s hard to believe that The Kid LAROI is still only 22 years old \u2014 and new album Before I Forget<\/em> finds the genre-crossing star trying to untangle complex emotions on the cusp of adulthood, reveling in nostalgia for simpler times while also serving up some radio fodder (the silky-smooth recent single \u201cA Perfect World\u201d sounds like it could cross over).<\/p>\n\n\tLuke Combs, \u201cSleepless in a Hotel Room\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\tLuke Combs closed out 2025 with the release of \u201cGiving Her Away,\u201d a muted reflection on the shared bond between the groom and the father of the bride at a wedding; \u201cSleepless in a Hotel Room,\u201d the latest track from his upcoming album The Way I Am<\/em>, is much more rollicking, with the country superstar picking up the tempo and growling out a \u201cwhoa-oh-OH\u201d hook on his first offering of the year.<\/p>\n\n\tAri Lennox, \u201cTwin Flame\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\t\u201cI never thought that I would fall for your type,\u201d Ari Lennox admits on \u201cTwin Flame,\u201d an effective new entry from the R&B star\u2019s upcoming Vacancy<\/em> project, on which Lennox waxes poetic about acting out of character in the presence of her crush and wields her powerhouse voice to convey her surprise and delight.<\/p>\n\n\tCar\u00edn Le\u00f3n & Xavi, \u201cLa Morrita\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\tKicking off 2026 in the most spirited fashion possible, Car\u00edn Le\u00f3n hoists up his national pride \u2014 alongside Xavi, one of Mexican music\u2019s skyrocketing new talents \u2014 on \u201cLa Morrita,\u201d a firecracker collaboration with a dizzying interplay between the pair of voices and the production over the course of two-and-a-half minutes, making for an overflowing celebration.<\/p>\n
\n\tEditor\u2019s Pick: Robyn, \u201cTalk to Me\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\tWhile Robyn unveiled \u201cDopamine\u201d as the lead single of her upcoming album Sexistential<\/em> last fall, \u201cTalk to Me,\u201d one of two new tracks released this week, provides the more blissful physical rush: co-written by Max Martin, \u201cTalk to Me\u201d is spectacular in its dance-pop intricacies and Robyn\u2019s unadorned expression of sexual longings, heralding the full return of one of pop\u2019s very best stars.<\/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, Bruno Mars at long last returns, Zach Bryan checks in […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2223897,"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":[258007,251271,21932],"class_list":["post-2228531","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music","tag-first-stream","tag-friday-music-guide","tag-music-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Bruno-Mars-Confirms-New-Album-Is-Finished-My-Album-Is.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2228531","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=2228531"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2228531\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2228532,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2228531\/revisions\/2228532"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2223897"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2228531"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2228531"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2228531"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
