Trending on Billboard
As May unfolds, so does an exciting wave of new music. The first full week of the month has seen significant releases across streaming platforms, with contributions from artists like Charli XCX and MUNA. Music enthusiasts are encouraged to share their favorite among these releases.
Charli XCX’s latest single, “Rock Music,” has generated significant buzz, representing a notable departure from her signature dance tracks. The artist has indicated that this song marks the beginning of a new album, which will diverge from the sound of her previous work. “If I’d made another album that felt more dance-leaning, it would have felt really hard, really sad,” she explained to British Vogue in April. “What’s interesting for me is to bend the possibilities of what my perspective on that could be.”
This week also saw the release of several other notable singles, including “Big Dog” by The Last Dinner Party, “Sell My Soul” by PJ Morton, and “Lines in the Carpet” by Ashley McBryde. Additionally, Kelela debuted “Dancing on the Wall,” Grupo Frontera x Alejandro Fernández released “Cada Vez Me Gusta Más,” Waylon Payne offered “Holding On to Lonely,” and TSHA, HoneyLuv, and Ellie Maxwell collaborated on “I Need U.” Among the prominent full-length albums released are MUNA’s Dancing on the Wall and the collaboration Omerta by J Balvin and Ryan Castro. Notable albums also include Lykke Li’s The Afterparty, Little Simz’s Sugar Girl, and Love Is Kind by The Chainsmokers and Oaks.
The question remains: which release stands out? Music fans have the opportunity to vote for their favorite in the poll below.
