This week featured new releases from Big Sean, Becky G, and Halle. Yes, it was indeed a great week for music enthusiasts. Below you’ll find some of the highlights.

Big Sean released his long-awaited album Better Me Than You. Among the tracks, “Who You Are (Superstar)” stands out, complete with a fun video featuring appearances by Mark Philips, Dylan Patel, Jazz Cartier, Aminé, and Taye Diggs.

Becky G, the Mexican-American singer, announced her new album Encuentros and shared a single from it titled “Como Diablos.” The song is a potent blend of pleading and strength, offering a compelling glimpse into what the album has to offer.

Halle followed her earlier release “In Your Hands” with her second new song of 2024, “Because I Love You.” The video for this track has been described as a twisty thriller with an unexpected surreal turn, keeping viewers on their toes.

Tommy Richman, known for his hit “Million Dollar Baby,” released “Thought You Were The One.” While the track maintains his signature catchiness, it offers a smoother and slower sound compared to his previous work.

Chance The Rapper unveiled a new song titled “3333” last week. This reflective track touches on themes of personal and professional growth, referencing a specific event where he sold a significant number of tickets for a concert that ended up with a near-empty venue.

ASAP Rocky released a track humorously named “Tailor Swif” after a leak online. Despite its misleading title, the song has no connection to Taylor Swift and is neither a tribute nor a diss track.

Usher and Victoria Monét teamed up for “SOS (Sex On Sight),” a sultry and seductive track that has been well-received. Usher’s impressive year in 2024 continues with this notable collaboration.

As summer comes to an end, Cordae and Anderson .Paak collaborated on “Summer Drop.” The track was produced by J. Cole and captures the artists’ delightful summer vibes, making it a perfect send-off for the season.

Kehlani surprised fans with the release of While We Wait 2, which includes the standout track “When He’s Not There” featuring Lucky Daye. The song exemplifies their slow-burning chemistry and is a true highlight of the project.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds released a new album featuring the track “Joy.” Noted for his deeply emotional and orchestrated compositions over the last decade, Cave revisits some of his rock ‘n’ roll swagger in this latest project while maintaining the sobering perspective of his recent works.
