New Music Friday singles
They’ve got something to say about it! After debuting the track during Sabrina’s headline Coachella set earlier this month, Madonna and Sabrina Carpenter join forces on Bring Your Love. It serves as the second taste of the Queen of Pop’s upcoming 15th studio album Confessions II, landing July 3.
Alongside the announcement of their forthcoming self-titled LP, due August 7, Aussie trio DMA’S drop stadium-ready cut Heatin Park. On the song and their fifth studio album, Matt Mason says: “Heatin Park started as an old forgotten demo banged into a new sound for us, and that collision is what gives it its feral energy. The album is called DMA’S because that’s exactly what it is and we’re keen to bring it home and play for you all.”
After rocketing into 2026 with a reworking of his breakout hit Love Me Again, John Newman returns with brand-new track Merry Go, a shimmering pop bop with “a fun, uplifting energy.” Catch John DJing at the Silverstone F1 British Grand Prix T1 Afterparty this summer.
As he teases a new album, Alex Warren will be hoping for a sixth Top 10 hit with FINE PLACE TO DIE. Meanwhile, SIENNA SPIRO lands her first-ever soundtrack with Material Lover, featured in The Devil Wears Prada 2.
The film’s soundtrack also brings two brand-new cuts from Lady Gaga: Shape of a Woman and Glamorous Life join her Doechii collab RUNWAY on the record.
Bella Kay’s been the talk of the town this year, after iloveitiloveitiloveit so nearly nabbed her a first Number 1. Now, the rising Texan star’s back with her newest single Promise?. Can it go one better than its predecessor?
Natalie Imbruglia returns with Upside Down, the first single from her upcoming seventh studio set Algorithm.
Dance fans can expect brand-new bangers from Becky Hill (>>>hands on me<<<), Jax Jones and D Double E (Sidewinder), D.O.D and Hayley May (Closure) and Armin van Buuren and Skytech (She’s A Freak).
Elsewhere, Asake drops Forgiveness, as Louis Tomlinson expands chart-topping album How Did I Get Here? with nine songs new to streaming, including focus track The Observer.
Announcing their 2027 UK and Ireland headline tour, Editors deliver Call On Me, a track about “finding solace and comfort in someone close, escaping the deafening noise of modern life.”
Elsewhere, fresh off the back of their recent headline shows, rising Manchester five-piece The Guest List offer up You Should Care. And care you should – Cai Alty, Tom Quigley, Leio Hunter, Sid Wallace and Angus Gilchrist are being heralded as one of the UK’s most exciting new guitar bands.
We also find big new releases from the likes of Nigerian-Irish singer-songwriter and producer MOIO (Just A Man), SISTRA (Daffodils), Jack Cullen (Face to Face), overpass (Is This Real?), Rudimental (Love You More), LP (Shelly) and Jutes (Icarus).
