\n\tThis week, Noah Kahan makes his triumphant return with his stellar fourth album, The Great Divide<\/em>; Kehlani releases her classic R&B self-titled set; and Suki Waterhouse previews her upcoming album Loveland <\/em>out this summer\u2026 plus much more. Check out all of this week\u2019s picks below:<\/p>\n
Noah Kahan, The Great Divide<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

\n\tOn Kahan\u2019s fourth album (out tonight), he showcases just how sharp his songwriting, vocals and musicianship have become \u2014 so sharp, in fact, that they cut deeper than his previous releases. As a result, he opens himself up like never before, narrating various perspectives and perceptions held by his friends, family and hometown and analyzing in real time the impact it has all had on him. <\/p>\n
Kehlani, Kehlani<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

\n\tFollowing the success of \u201cFolded,\u201d Kehlani knew it was time to double down on classic sounding R&B and pour that passion into her self-titled album. Billboard<\/em> ranked closing track \u201cUnlearn\u201d as the project\u2019s best, with Kyle Denis writing: \u201cOnce upon a time, R&B albums used to end with a gospel song, a cover of a hymn, or some kind of dedication to the faith, family and friends that made the project possible. Leave it to Kehlani to bring back those recipes\u2026Gospel will always be a part of R&B, and when the secular meets the sacred, incredible music comes to life.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tTrue to form, Suki Waterhouse takes listeners on a ride with \u201cTiny Raisin.\u201d What starts with the vivid description of becoming a \u201ctiny raisin\u201d from soaking too long in the tub evolves into an ode to \u201cher man\u201d (aka Robert Pattinson). But it\u2019s not quite a love song \u2014 rather, it\u2019s a vent session. \u201cMolly said that I should leave him\/ And for a moment we aligned, but then I changed my mind\/ And I hung up like the crazy bitch I am.\u201d Throughout, Waterhouse details that while they may \u201cbreak up, make up, do it all over again,\u201d at the end of the day they always \u201claugh it off\u201d \u2014 especially because, as she says, \u201che\u2019s so fine\/ and he\u2019s all mine.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hayley Kiyoko and Gigi Perez, \u201cCollide\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n\n
\n\tDuring weekend two of Coachella, Hayley Kiyoko popped out during Gigi Perez\u2019s set to duet on the former\u2019s hit \u201cGirls Like Girls.\u201d Turns out, that\u2019s not all the two had planned: today, they share their new collab, \u201cCollide.\u201d The laid-back, emotional track is the first from the upcoming soundtrack to Kiyoko\u2019s directorial debut, Girls Like Girls<\/em>, out in June. As Kiyoko wrote on Instagram, \u201cthe soundtrack I wish I had when I was 16 is finally yours june 12. starting this chapter the best way possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dylan Gosset, \u201cMy Boy\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n\tSince releasing his self-produced debut album, Westward<\/em>, last year, rising singer-songwriter Dylan Gossett has kept momentum with new music including latest track \u201cMy Boy.\u201d As the title suggests, the song is a beautiful message to his son (his and his wife\u2019s first child, which they announced on Instagram last November) that functions as Gossett\u2019s parental vow. \u201cI\u2019ll think about the things you\u2019ll do and your momma does too\/ Oh I hope you got her eyes and her soul too\/ So when you need me I\u2019ll be there when you need a little care\/ I\u2019ll be your rock to steady on, boy I swear.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
