On Thursday, Billie Eilish released a new single “Your Power” which is off of her newly announced album Happier Than Ever. This will be the music icon’s sophomore album and will be released on July 30th. “Your Power” was accompanied by a music video, which was directed by Eilish herself, and shows her in rugged terrain getting constricted by a snake while singing “Your Power.”
DJ Khaled released his highly anticipated Khaled Khaled album. The project features his two singles with Drake “Greece” & “Popstar” that dominates the airwaves last year. The album also features a Nas & Jay-Z collaboration as well as a Justin Bieber & 21 Savage collab. Safe to say Khaled has anotha one!

Little Mix released a new single “Confetti” featuring Saweetie today. Along with the song’s release was its accompanying music video, which features an epic dance battle. The battle is between the members of Little Mix, Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall, and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and themselves as their male doppelgangers. The video matches the song’s upbeat, and catchy energy.
Norweigan artist Marie Ulven, also known as Girl in Red, releases her long-awaited debut album, If I Could Make It Go Quiet today. The album includes previously released tracks “Seratonin” and “You Stupid Bitch.” You can expect lo-fi, bedroom pop-sounding songs from this album, as well as Girl in Red’s ever-present themes of love, and struggling relationships.
Rising rap star OBN Jay surprised us with two singles today including the viral hit “It’s Up With Me” alongside “Green Beam”. After dropping a snippet of “It’s Up With Me” Jay saw the song go viral throughout TikTok and Triller prior to its official release. The Louisiana native also dropped a video for “Green Beam”, this should definitely hold us down while we anticipate his upcoming project.
Machine Gun Kelly released a new single called “love race” featuring Travis Barker, and Kellin Quinn yesterday. The single is put out there for the romantics and sticks to Machine Gun Kelly’s recent punk and hard rock sound. The new song comes shortly after Machine Gun Kelly announced his 2021 Tickets To My Downfall tour which will include 25 dates starting on September 9th and ending on October 30th.
