\n\tThis week, Troye Sivan\u2019s anticipated fourth album is out; Slayyyyter drops another preview of her upcoming companion LP, and Remi Wolf\u2019s Mud <\/em>arrives \u2026 plus much more. Check out all of this week\u2019s picks below:<\/p>\n
Troye Sivan, She\u2019s the Best<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n
\n\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
\n\tThe sung-spoken delivery, gauzy production and lurching beat of She\u2019s the Best<\/em>\u2018s title track and advance single set up Troye Sivan\u2018s fourth album to be something of a swerve within his catalog \u2014 and further surprises lay ahead in the album, including a lift of \u201990s one-hit wonders Forest for the Trees on the psych-leaning \u201cI Do This for You,\u201d and a dreamy acoustic shuffle on the Beabadoobee-like \u201cEmbarrassingly.\u201d But for those who hoped for more four-on-the-floor sweat from one of the past decade\u2019s greatest dance-pop purveyors, Sivan\u2019s got plenty of that, too, including on the lusty, vocoder-assisted \u201cCanada Dry,\u201d the location-hopping (and Madonna-interpolating) \u201cParty\u201d and the skittering, PinkPantheress-esque \u201cTroye Meets World.\u201d <\/p>\n
Slayyyyter, \u201cI Think He\u2019s Got a Girl\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
\n\tEarlier this week, WOR$T MAN IN AMERICA<\/em> \u2014 the long-teased companion set to Slayyyyter\u2018s breakthrough 2026 album WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA \u2014 <\/em>was officially announced for this December. Two tracks from the new mini-LP had already been released in \u201cBrand New Chanel$\u201d and \u201cCrank 2,\u201d and this Friday they\u2019re joined by a third: \u201cI Think He\u2019s Got a Girl,\u201d a midtempo grunge-pop lament over a likely stepping-out lover. \u201cYou\u2019re quiet on the phone\/ What time you coming home?\/ I hope it doesn\u2019t mean what I know it means,\u201d Slayyyter moans over the tenderly pulsing track, before making the titular chorus observation. It should make for another live highlight, as if she was still lacking for any of those. <\/p>\n
Remi Wolf, Mud<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n
\n\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
\n\tLong championed by the pop faithful, Remi Wolf has spent much of the 2020s seemingly on the verge of a major breakout \u2014\u00a0most recently earning a big look as a featured performer on the first episode of the hit Amazon college romance series Off Campus<\/em>. Hopefully third album Mud<\/em> will finally be the set to put her over the top; certainly, the collection of alt-pop gems is strong enough to merit the crossover attention \u2014\u00a0from the lacerating acoustic heartbreak of \u201cTwiggy\u201d to the sweetly frustrated power-pop of \u201cBurn Me Blue\u201d and the John Mayer-assisted soft-rock ache of \u201cMoon So High.\u201d Sadly, it\u2019s not a sure bet \u2014 as Wolf herself admits on partial title track \u201cCovered in Mud,\u201d \u201cNothing I write sounds like all the hits on the radio\u201d \u2014\u00a0but top 40 would undoubtedly be a more interesting place if it would meet her halfway.<\/p>\n
Gunna, \u201cPop It\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
\n\tWe haven\u2019t gone a full calendar year without a new Gunna album since 2021, so even though we don\u2019t have an official release date for it, it\u2019s no surprise that a new album \u2014\u00a0Splurge<\/em>, announced in September \u2014\u00a0is likely on the horizon. For now, fans awaiting the full project will have to suffice with a new single: \u201cPop It,\u201d a short blast with regal horns and the rapper\u2019s typical sing-song staccato (\u201cShe out her panties\/ She call me \u2018Daddy\u2019\/ Bulletproof Caddy\/ Who having static?\u201d) It\u2019s another likely hit for one of the most commercially consistent rappers of the decade. <\/p>\n
Girl in Red, \u201cBlue\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
\n\tIt\u2019s officially Marie Ulven\u2019s time, as the leaves change color, the weather gets a bit nippy, and Girl in Red\u2018s seasonal perennial \u201cWe Fell in Love in October\u201d begins its annual trek up the streaming charts. Ulven\u2019s not wasting any time making the most of her signature month this year, as she releases \u201cBlue,\u201d an atmospheric heart-racer with rushing acoustic guitars and evocative, Swiftian lyrics like \u201cI can tell time has passed by the wash of your denim\/ The blue never lasts but it doesn\u2019t fade for me.\u201d Perhaps this winner will extend Girl in Red season into at least November this year. <\/p>\n
Pitbull, PITCOIN<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n
\n\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
\n\tThe latest full-length from the man born Armando Christian P\u00e9rez is another globetrotting (and musical spectrum-spanning) set, with features from artists as far-ranging as crunk pioneer Lil Jon, Dutch DJ (and Pitbull\u2018s old \u201cGive Me Everything\u201d partner) Afrojack, hitmaking Cuban reggaet\u00f3n duo Gente de Zona and a pair of Rock and Roll Hall of Famer bands n KISS and Bon Jovi. \u201cHis music connects people,\u201d the latter band\u2019s frontman Jon Bon Jovi told Billboard<\/em> of Mr. Worldwide in our cover story earlier this week. \u201cHe doesn\u2019t care if you\u2019re a rocker or a rapper, if you are Black or white, Republican or Democrat. The key is that he is spreading the universal theme of hope and optimism.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
