Gracie Abrams<\/a> raises a little hell on her third studio album, Daughter From Hell. Spanning 16 tracks, the record pushes her intimate songwriting into darker, more dramatic territory. Following 2024 chart-topper The Secret Of Us<\/a>, could Gracie be heading for a second Official Number 1 album?<\/p>\n Yard Act<\/a> aren\u2019t just going serving a little music \u2013 they’re back with a whole new album’s worth. The Leeds outfit’s third studio set finds them pairing their most dynamic, energised material yet with characteristically dark and cynical reflections. Fun fact: it\u2019s also the first record the quartet have made together live in the same room. Could You’re Gonna Need A Little Music<\/a> complete a hat-trick of Official Top 10 albums?<\/p>\n Take That<\/a> release Live From The Circus 2026 (Amazon Music Presents), a exclusive EP of live recordings from Gary, Mark and Howard’s recent homecoming show at Manchester’s Etihad Stadium. The lads broke records last month, when The Circus Tour<\/a> became the most-watched UK livestream of all time on Amazon Music.<\/p>\n Love is in the air – then very much crashing back down to earth – on Nia Archives<\/a>‘ Emotional Junglist. Written across a year that saw Nia fall in, and horrifically back out of, love, the record channels every high and heartbreak through her turbocharged jungle sound. After 2024’s Silence Is Loud<\/a> reached Number 16, could album two bring Nia her first Official Top 10?<\/p>\n As she claims the Official biggest new song release of 2026<\/a> with iloveitiloveitiloveit<\/a>, Bella Kay<\/a>\u00a0drops her debut album My Reckless Abandon.<\/p>\n Another one! Four years on from GOD DID<\/a>, DJ Khaled<\/a> unlocks Aalam Of God, and naturally he\u2019s brought a sizeable guest list along for the ride, including\u00a0Future<\/a> and Lil Baby<\/a>\u00a0(One Of Them) and\u00a0Post Malone<\/a> and YoungBoy Never Broke Again<\/a> (Brother).<\/p>\n Oh yeah, Steve Lacy<\/a>‘s back! The Californian multihyphenate’s third studio album Oh yeah? arrives almost four years after the GRAMMY-winning Gemini Rights, bringing his unique brand of genre-blurring, self-produced alt-R&B experimentation. With SZA<\/a>, Erykah Badu<\/a> and Cecile Believe among those joining the party, can Steve finally secure his first Official UK Top 40 album?<\/p>\n Elsewhere, Rick Ross<\/a> returns with Set In Stone, his first solo album in almost five years, as Californian singer-songwriter Syd (formerly known as Syd tha Kid) grows into her next chapter with third full-length project Beard. There is also a fresh release from Leon Bridges<\/a> with Happiness Anytime.\u00a0<\/p>\n Now, let’s turn our attention to singles.<\/p>\n Cali rockers Queens of the Stone Age<\/a> recruit Nikki Lane on Easy Street, their first new song since 2023’s In Times New Roman<\/a>. Eagerly awaited by fans, the track was debuted on the band’s Catacombs tour last year.<\/p>\n On the song, QOTSA’s Josh Homme explains: “It\u2019s kind of a funny song. It\u2019s like hitting your funny bone, where it\u2019s funny because it hurts and it hurts because it\u2019s funny. You\u2019re serious, but it\u2019s funny.<\/p>\n “It’s not just about silliness. It\u2019s about understanding the imperfection of your life. The song, like your life, is in the mistakes. Its imperfections are unbeatable.”<\/p>\n Ahead of the release of his third solo studio set THRASHER<\/a>, due August 21, Brandon Flowers<\/a> takes you to Paradise on his latest cut. Announcing the song on socials, Brandon said: “Back in October \u201889, Phil Collins took \u201cAnother Day In Paradise\u201d from the working man. This Friday the 17th, I\u2019ll be returning it to its rightful owner.”<\/p>\n It’s a huge return for Echo & The Bunnymen<\/a>, as their new single Brussels Is Haunted follows follows the news that they will release their first album in 12 years, Apples For Isaac.\u00a0<\/p>\n With the announcement of his new LP A Safe Place To Be Wild, coming October 30, New Zealand-Australian singer-songwriter Jordan Rakei<\/a>\u00a0has a message for his Enemies. On the track, Jordan says: “Enemies has a playful, almost arrogant energy to it, not from bitterness, but from self-confidence.<\/p>\n “It’s an ownership song about not taking any more crap, rising above past dynamics, and turning all of that into positive energy. It’s dedicated to all the enemies of my past, haha!”<\/p>\n Filipino-English singer-songwriter beabadoobee<\/a> unleashes Switchblade, with her\u00a0hugely anticipated forthcoming album Pylon set to release this September.\u00a0<\/p>\n Toronto singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist MorMor drops Don’t Need It, a tune he says “marked the end of a long search for love, and even for a father figure, or external validation.”<\/p>\n London four-piece\u00a0Keo<\/a> shoot their shot with new cut Pistol, the second single from the band’s upcoming debut album, Put A Smile On For Me.<\/p>\n Elsewhere, expect big new releases from Beck<\/a> (In The Night), Kelly Clarkson<\/a> (I’d Be Lyin’), KILIMANJARO (Ghetto), Rose Gray<\/a> (Just Be Bodies), Masego<\/a> (Heaven) and Dry Cleaning<\/a> (Grass).<\/p>\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.officialcharts.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What’s on this week’s New Music Friday playlists?
