The K-Pop sensation returns with with its latest studio album, <em>Arirang<\/em>. Also: Niall Horan releases the much-teased lead single, \u201cDinner Party,\u201d from his forthcoming album, and Lizzo kicks off her new music era with \u201cDon\u2019t Make Me Love U\u201d\u2026 plus much more. Check out all of this week\u2019s picks below:<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>BTS, <em>Arirang<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"\/>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tARMY can rejoice, because the Bangtan Boys are back in a big way. After the members of BTS (RM, Jin, Suga, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook) stepped away from the group to fulfill government-mandated time in the South Korean military and pursue solo endeavors, the seven members have reunited for the first BTS full-length in six years: <em>Arirang<\/em>. The 14-track project features an impressive roster of superstar producers, including Diplo, Tame Impala\u2019s Kevin Parker, Mike WiLL Made-It and Ryan Tedder. Led by \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/pop\/bts-swim-music-video-watch-1236203213\/\">Swim<\/a>,\u201d a track that fuses dance-pop production with the group\u2019s signature blend of singing and rapped vocals, it\u2019s clear that BTS have not missed a step; the group not only sounds ready to meet this moment, but eager to dominate the world once more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>Niall Horan, \u201cDinner Party\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"\/>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAfter politely picking up the tabs for various dinner guests across Los Angeles and New York restaurants, it\u2019s now clear Niall\u2019s intention may have had some hidden meaning, too. The former One Direction member has shared a new single, which happens to be the title track for his forthcoming new album, <em>Dinner Party<\/em>, out June 5. He previously revealed that his longtime girlfriend, whom he met at a dinner party, inspired the song \u2014 and much of his new project. Fittingly, \u201cDinner Party\u201d is a mid-tempo pop song perfect for swaying to with a smitten smile, complete with swoon-worthy lyrics: \u201cOne kiss on your neck, it was so concrete\/ I\u2019m done looking for somebody.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>Lizzo, \u201cDon\u2019t Make Me Love U\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"\/>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe latest from Lizzo balances vocals fit for a ballad with assertive lyrics \u2014 aimed at herself \u2014 all united by funky and glimmering pop production. The video for \u201cDon\u2019t Make Me Love U\u201d offers more insight into the single\u2019s inspiration, as it shows Lizzo confronting and embracing a past version of herself. For anyone following along, Lizzo has been in her healing era \u2014 and now, as a press release for the single shares, she\u2019s kicking off her \u201cnew musical era\u201d to match.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>Paris Paloma, Miyazaki<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"\/>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cI have something to say\/ As has anyone who\u2019s ever made anything worth enjoying\/ Nobody can destroy it,\u201d sings British singer-songwriter Paris Paloma on her latest single. It\u2019s an immediately grabbing opening, forcing casual listeners to perk up and pay attention. And she makes it worthwhile, continuing to sing in defense of human creativity \u2014 especially with the rise of AI. Fittingly, the track is named after Hayao Miyazaki, the Studio Ghibli director who famously called AI-generated art \u201can insult to life itself.\u201d In turn, Paloma sings: \u201cI\u2019d do it unpaid, unseen, unthanked\/ It\u2019s worth more than anything that I have\u2026I won\u2019t let you take it from me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>Dermot Kennedy, \u201cHonest\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"\/>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAhead of his upcoming third album,\u00a0<em>The Weight of the Woods,\u00a0<\/em>out next week (March 27), Dermot Kennedy has shared another preview in \u201cHonest.\u201d The surging song balances his signature rasp with an urgency that feels less familiar for the Irish singer-songwriter. Throughout the near four-minute song, Kennedy struggles with love lost, admitting: My heart\u2019s too honest\/ All my colours spilling out\/ Cause I know you\u2019re all I want\/ Have we missed our moment? How could fate be so unfair?\u201d And in a compelling twist, the song doesn\u2019t boast a happy ending but rather acceptance of what is, with Kennedy speak-singing: \u201cI can change my path, I can learn his heart but I cannot change his will.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.billboard.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billboard\u2019s\u00a0Friday Music Guide\u00a0serves as a handy guide to New Music Friday\u2019s most essential releases each week \u2014 the key music that everyone will be talking about today, and that will be dominating playlists this weekend and beyond.\u00a0 Last week, we featured Noah Kahan, Kacey Musgraves, The Pussycat Dolls and more.
