\n\tThis week, Lady Gaga and Doechii team up for the high-powered, high-fashion \u201cRunway\u201d from The Devil Wears Prada 2<\/em>, Katseye releases a pre-Coachella single with \u201cPINKY UP\u201d and The Strokes are back with a new song and album on the way\u2026 plus much more. Check out all of this week\u2019s picks below:<\/p>\n
Lady Gaga and Doechii, \u201cRunway\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
\n\tTurns out, Lady Gaga and Doechii are the perfect pair to \u201cturn a dance floor into a runway,\u201d as they sing on their catchy collab \u2014 and even though the two stars had never worked together before, it sounds obvious here they were meant to. \u201cRunway\u201d \u2014 which was co-written and co-produced by Bruno Mars \u2014 is the first official single from the anticipated upcoming film, The Devil Wears Prada 2<\/em>, out May 1. Fittingly, the track is booming with in-your-face bass and filled with the exact type of confident sass that anyone about to hit the runway would want to hear.<\/p>\n
KATSEYE, \u201cPINKY UP\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
\n\t\u201cPinky Up\u201d arrives at a pivotal time for Katseye: the girl group is fresh off the Grammys and one day away from making its Coachella debut and, of course, now operating as a fivesome following the recent hiatus by member Manon Bannerman. Needless to say, the girl group\u2019s new single had just<\/em> a bit of pressure on it. But the high-energy techno-pop track delivers, dizzying and delighting with its relentless tempo \u2014 perhaps meant to soundtrack just how nonstop Katseye is right now.<\/p>\n
The Strokes, \u201cGoing Shopping\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
\n\tThis week, The Strokes announced its first album in six years, Reality Awaits<\/em>, produced by Rick Rubin. With the announcement came the release of lead single \u201cGoing Shopping,\u201d an auto-tuned yet still retro-sounding Strokes song that seems to find a balance between the band\u2019s essence and perhaps its commentary on the \u201creality\u201d of what\u2019s ahead \u2014 or is already here \u2014 in popular music. The new music arrives just in time for the band\u2019s Coachella set, providing an opportunity to preview even more tracks off the upcoming project.<\/p>\n
\n\tAfter announcing a 2026 tour, bluesy rock band Alabama Shakes is back with new music \u2014 and right on time. The aptly titled \u201cAmerican Dream\u201d is the group\u2019s first new release since 2015\u2019s Grammy-winning Sound & Color<\/em> (but follows two solo albums from vocalist Brittany Howard) and despite its slow and simmering production, delivers an urgent message. \u201cWhat are we doing?\u201d asks Howard, before reciting various indicators of the state of the country right now: \u201cGot the White House pretty and pimped out\/ Gun reform\/ My body my choice\u2026Low grade fever, lower wage people\/ How many folks got shot this week\/ It\u2019s enough to make you wanna go back to sleep.\u201d Still, Howard concludes on a note that could be viewed as sarcastic, instructional or hopeful \u2014 and maybe even all three \u2014 when she states, \u201ckeep dreaming.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tiny Habits, \u201cRight In Front Of Me\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
\n\tFolk-pop group Tiny Habits (a trio that formed in 2022 while still students at Berklee College of Music) could be gearing up for its next era. Following a debut EP in 2023 and full-length debut in 2024, the group has released its latest single, \u201cRight In Front Of Me,\u201d a breezy track that sounds as carefree as its subject yearns to be. \u201cYou can tell by myself, is where I\u2019m comfortable at\/ Oh, but tonight this lady, she looked crazy, but so free,\u201d the three harmonize ahead of the song\u2019s happy ending, in which the subject hits the dance floor as freely as they always wanted. And the best part? \u201cNobody is saying, \u2018You look crazy.’\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
