Happy You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love Day! Olivia Rodrigo leads this week’s New Music Friday with her enthralling third studio album, led by the Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit “Drop Dead” and the top five hit “The Cure” (No. 5). Yet another emotional journey steered by the three-time Grammy winner and her longtime collaborator Dan Nigro, You Seem Pretty Sad finds Rodrigo delivering 13 gut-wrenching indie rock and pop-informed songs, this time bringing along The Cure’s Robert Smith for a standout track in “What’s Wrong With Me.”
Bebe Rexha’s Dirty Blonde and Infinity Song’s new eponymous LP are also among the buzziest new full-length releases of the week. The former finds the “New Religion” singer offering her first album since partnering with EMPIRE, while the latter is the latest evolution from the Detroit-hailing, alt-rock family band. This New Music Friday also boasts new projects from Baauer (U), Blxst (Labor of Love), Jessie Reyez (A Little Vengeance), Hayley Kiyoko (Girls Like Girls), ANOTR (Witness) Keith Urban (Flow State), Myles Smith (My Mess, My Heart, My Life), Ruel (Kicking My Feet & Screaming), Spacey Jane (Exit Wounds), Cultura Profética (En Bucle), Sublime (Until the Sun Explodes) and Tori Kelly (God Must Really Love Me).
