NewJeans, RM, XG, Romy Mars, & More Best New Music This Week
Before you can get into Memorial Day Weekend mood, we need another New Music Friday! This week’s new music releases have something for everyone, but especially fans of K-pop and indie.
Kicking off the weekend celebrations, we have NewJeans, who are completing the rollout of their single album How Sweet, with a new track, as well as BTS member RM, who’s unveiled his ruminative sophomore solo album Right Place, Wrong Person with a stunning video for the title track “LOST!”
On the indie front, we have long-waited comebacks from the likes of Wallows and Clairo ready to soundtrack all our mellifluous summer evenings. This week has also been a big one for bedroom pop enthusiasts, with PinkPantheress dropping a new track and nepo newcomer Romy Mars making her hard launch into the scene. And that’s not all: We also have new stuff from XG, Rauw Alejandro, and Coi Leray.
If this piques your interest, check out the best new music released from this week below:
NewJeans, “How Sweet”
Following the release of “Bubble Gum” in April, NewJeans have finally completed their single EP with the bubbly “How Sweet.” Described as NewJeans’ take on Miami Bass, “How Sweet” joins the list of mellow yet catchy songs from the K-pop quintet, and it won’t be the last new track we get from them this summer. NewJeans are also gearing up for the release of a double single album called Supernatural on June 21, which will feature a collaboration with Pharrell Williams.
