And \u201cG.O.D.\u201d certainly comes with a message, as White sings on the track, \u201cWell, it\u2019s the beginning of the world now\/ And there\u2019s nobody left\u2026 Let\u2019s start again\u2026 Let\u2019s do it all over again.\u201d Musically, it\u2019s not as electrifying or hard-hitting as some of White\u2019s other material, but that\u2019s where \u201cDerecho Demonico\u201d comes in as a perfect partner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>Arlo Parks, \u201cBeams\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\tReleased in tandem with the English singer-songwriter\u2019s third album, <em>Ambiguous Desire<\/em>, \u201cBeams\u201d is a peak into the project\u2019s gentle touch \u2014 a signature of Parks\u2019 sound. Yet here, that gentle touch is a bit of a bandaid for an old wound, until eventually Parks realizes just how much healing has happened under the surface. The song is a delicate dance between that still-present ache and a soft assuredness that has crept in with time. As Parks shared in a statement: \u201cIt\u2019s about the pain of feeling discarded, or feeling like the oldest hurt that you carry around like a stone is a burden not just to you but to everyone around you\u2026But it\u2019s also about trying to (slowly but surely) want better for yourself and realise that you are loveable as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>Anne Hathaway, \u201cMy Mouth Is Lonely For You (From <em>Mother Mary<\/em>)\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify\">\n<p>\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: My Mouth Is Lonely For You (from Mother Mary)\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/2X5WidXHsjamq3ICtOmW9o?si=d8217fd23fa34601&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tCome April 17, Mother Mary will make her debut when the A24 film of the same name premieres, starring Anne Hathaway as an iconic pop star making a comeback. <em>Mother Mary: Greatest Hits<\/em> will drop the same day, featuring seven original songs written and produced by Jack Antonoff and Charli xcx. Single \u201cBurial\u201d arrived first, showcasing airy vocals that feature even more prominently on \u201cMy Mouth Is Lonely For You,\u201d which soundtracks the latest trailer for the film. Written by FKA twigs, the experimental influence is clear \u2014 and Hathaway more than delivers, arriving as a fully-formed pop artist before the movie arrives itself. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>floweroflove, \u201cAmerican Wedding\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\tRising pop singer floweroflove is preparing to make her Coachella debut and is pulling out all the stops for promoting new music \u2014 including a fake engagement. While teasing new single \u201cAmerican Wedding\u201d on social media, the singer posted a selfie wearing an engagement ring, writing: \u201cWasn\u2019t going to post this but I can\u2019t hide it anymore. I\u2019m so so so excited to announce that I\u2019m engaged! To the money. American wedding comes out tomo.\u201d While the song sounds as sweet as its sentiment (\u201cI wanna have your babies\/ I wanna be First Lady\u201d) the guitar solo that crashes in near the end highlights the real twist of the track: her ex was never up for getting married. As she concludes of a wedding that never was: \u201cIt ended just like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>Sofia D\u2019Angelo, \u201cTime\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\t\u201cTime\u201d comes as the latest single from Sofia D\u2019Angelo \u2014 perhaps better known as a member of New York indie-pop collective MICHELLE \u2014 who in 2024 started releasing solo material again for the first time in four years. The surging pop track packs powerful meaning about time passing by and wondering what you\u2019ll remember; the music video plays into the theme, showing an elderly D\u2019Angelo (thanks to makeup) speaking to the camera, reflecting on her simple life before concluding that every once in a while, \u201ceven grandma needs a good time.\u201d What follows is the soundtrack for a contemplative night out, with D\u2019Angelo prematurely wondering \u201cif time was on my side.\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 Explore See latest videos, charts and news Last week, we featured Miley Cyrus, Raye, Charlie Puth and more.
