After Beyoncé’s “Morning Dew” surprise drop lit up last week’s roundup, Gracie Abrams leads this week’s New Music Friday Guide with Daughter From Hell, her moody third studio album. Introduced by the singles “Hit the Wall” and “Look At My Life,” Daughter From Hell finds the Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter reuniting with longtime collaborator Aaron Dessner, while also adding Dan Nigro to the mix.

Between new releases from Grammy-winning reggae and dancehall legend Buju Banton (Too Too Bad), Teflon Don aka Rick Ross (Set in Stone), Afro-house artist Francis Mercier (Lakay), Mexican singer Oscar Maydon (Música en mi Jetski) and The Internet alums Steve Lacy (Oh Yeah?) and Syd (Beard), it’s a particularly packed week for new albums,

Other notable projects arriving this New Music Friday include Mariah Carey (Daydream – 30th Anniversary Edition), Masego (Fix Your Face), Foreigner (In the Eye of the Storm), Waylon Wyatt (Dustpiles), Niko Moon (ROOTS), Mudbaby Ru (Out the Mood), Mike Posner (Crazy Rainbow – EP), Daughtry (There And Back Again), BackRoad Gee (Live in the Flesh), Icewear Vezzo (Rich Off Pints 4), Rome Streetz (Sock It 2 My Pocket) and Nao Yoshioka (self).

Over on the singles side, pop music fave Carly Rae Jepsen leads the way with “After All,” a scintillating taste of the Night side of her forthcoming Day and Night double album. “Iloveitiloveitiloveit” breakout star Bella Kay also shared “I Deserve Better,” a poignant cut from her excellent debut album My Reckless Abandon, which dropped on July 12.

Berlin’s Marlon Hoffstadt dropped his kickdrum-anchored “Get Buck,” Carly Pearce joined forces with Molly Tuttle and Dan Tyminski for “What If You Loved Me,” ascendant Texas rockers Dexter and The Moonrocks shared “If You Could Talk” and country singer-songwriter Wyatt McCubbin released his harmonica-laced “Andy Griffith.”

This New Music Friday also features new tracks from Saucy Santana (“Quiet on the Creek”), Tinashe (“Crash Out”), Kelly Clarkson (“I’d Be Lyin”), Lil Baby (“Dead Fresh”), Pentatonix (“Sacrifice”), Meshell Ndegeocello & Cynthia Erivo (“I Knew You Were Waiting”), Leon Bridges (“Light the Way”), Lauren Alaina & Kane Brown (“Never Been In Love”), Roy Woods (“Brunch”) and Armanii (“World Class”).

Lil Wayne is entering the podcast space. Weezy will be teaming up with WFAN radio host Craig Carton for The Joint Venture, which will air weekly episodes starting on July 22.

The New Orleans rap legend and Carton are set to record the first episode with a live podcast taping at Fanatics Fest NYC on Sunday (July 19) featuring guests like former New York Jets star Darrelle Revis, ex-New York Knicks forward Amar’e Stoudemire and New York Giants Super Bowl-winning quarterback Eli Manning.

“The best podcasts feel like you just kicking it with your people, talking the same way you do when nobody’s listening,” Wayne, who previously hosted Young Money Radio on Apple Music, said in a statement. “I’ma light one up with the homie Craig and we gonna talk our sh-t about whatever the day brings. You never know who’s gonna pull up or where the conversation’s gonna go.”

Wayne and Carton seem like an unlikely duo, but the pair have been friends for years. As a massive fan of the Green Bay Packers and Los Angeles Lakers, Weezy can talk sports just as easily as he can spit a verse.

Craig Carton actually had Lil Wayne on his WFAN radio show in March, where Carton called him the “biggest sports fan” he knows.

“There’s nothing better than swapping takes with Wayne on sports, pop culture and a whole host of other topics,” Carton added in a statement. “The Joint Venture show gives us a great excuse to keep doing what we’ve been doing for years, while also having some famous friends stop by and chop it up with us. There’s no better job in the world.”

Before heading to Fanatics Fest NYC, Lil Wayne will continue his tour celebrating 20 years of Tha Carter on Friday (July 17) with a show in Chicago. Weezy’s last album, Tha Carter VI, arrived in June 2025 and debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200.

Icons only! The Rolling Stones cover the latest issue of Billboard, talking about the special guests on their new album Foreign Tongues, thoughts about AI in music, their studio dynamic and more.

For the cover story, I sat down with Mick Jagger at a poolside garden in London and Keith Richards at the Django Jazz Club in Manhattan some 48 hours later. The interviews covered a lot of ground, and there’s only so much room in a magazine cover story – there were a lot of great things they talked about that we just didn’t have space to run in print.

Below, check out a few newsy, fascinating and distinctly Stonesy bits that didn’t make the cover story: you can watch some of these exchanges on YouTube, but a couple of them don’t appear anywhere else but here.

Keeping It Analog

Before the cameras started rolling, Jagger pointed to our film crew and three-camera setup and commented, “Lots of people on set. God, I remember when Billboard was an interview with a notepad.” That prompted me to hold aloft my little red notepad, which I’d actually picked up from London’s Design Museum the previous day. (I wanted to check out an exhibit devoted to Wes Anderson, a filmmaker who coincidentally has done a few Stones needle drops throughout his oeuvre.) “You do have the notepad!” Mick beamed. “So you’re a traditionalist.”

Speaking of traditionalists, Richards, in his interview, revealed he doesn’t even own a cellphone and doesn’t appreciate “the idea of being permanently available for everybody to call up when they feel like it. Nobody thinks, ‘You know, that’s damn rude — he might be writing a song, doing something else.’” I put forth a pretty believable hypothetical: “You got your manager sitting over there [off camera]. Jane [Rose] wants to get in touch with you, how does that happen?” His sly reply: “Well, it doesn’t.” After the interview, Rose took me aside and told me one word: “Landline.”

Covering Amy Winehouse

Talking about their surprisingly effective cover of Amy Winehouse’s “You Know I’m No Good” on Foreign Tongues, Jagger said, “We were looking for a good song to cover from a female vocalist, and we were thinking of early people, and then we said, ‘Let’s do something a bit more recent.’ We alighted on that song. I always liked that song. I could have written it, you know what I mean? Almost. I felt that I could have written that song, because it’s like a minor-key harmonica lead. I just copied the horn lead and played it on harmonica, so it felt very organic.”

“Loved the song. Always thought that Amy was a sad story in many ways, but she was one of the best to come out of England, and probably had so much more potential,” said Richards of Winehouse, whom the Stones shared the stage with at Isle of Wight Festival in 2007 for a cover of the Temptations’ “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg” (which the Stones recorded on their 1974 album It’s Only Rock ‘n Roll). “I’m not sure who kicked the idea off, whether it was Mick or Andrew [Watt, producer], but we said, ‘Well, you know, we used to, we started off, we were a cover band, basically, so if there’s one you wanted to cover now, what would it be?’ And Amy came out on top.”

Prejudices Against Singers in Hollywood

While interviewing Jagger, I ran something by him that Werner Herzog told Playboy in 2012. For context: Jagger was initially attached to the legendary director’s 1982 masterpiece Fitzcarraldo — in fact, Herzog began filming Fitzcarraldo with Jason Robards as the lead character and Mick Jagger playing his assistant, but Robards became so ill during the famously troubled Peruvian production that he had to drop out of the film. By the time the film was set to résumé with a new star (the mercurial Klaus Kinski), Jagger had to leave for a tour with the Stones; Herzog wrote his character, Wilbur, out of the script. (Herzog’s 1999 documentary My Best Fiend includes footage of Jagger acting with Robards.)

“Jagger is a tragic gap in the history of film,” Herzog told Playboy. “He hasn’t been praised enough as someone who could have been a great actor.”

“Could have been,” noted the ever-alert Jagger, laughing. I asked him if he wished he had more time to pursue acting back in the day.

“Yeah,” Jagger replied. “The thing is, I think if it was now, in this time frame, I would have been able to act a lot more, because there’s not the prejudice against singers. In fact, they take advantage of using the fame of someone in a film. Whereas in the days when I started acting, all the people in film hated you, and it was impossible to get a role — it just wasn’t the thing. Also, they didn’t use music in films either, hardly at all. Now we take it for granted; there’s music almost all the time. So now it’s much easier for singers to get acting parts, but in those days it was impossible. Yeah, it would have been nice to have done more,” he concluded, adding, “Thanks, Werner.”

When I mentioned his phenomenal performance in the 1970 film Performance, he noted, “It was such a long time ago. But I just did a cameo in a silent, black-and-white movie, The Three Incestuous Sisters with three famous actresses [Dakota Johnson, Saoirse Ronan and Jessie Buckley]. It was fun. I was playing a lighthouse keeper. I didn’t have any lines, because it’s a silent film — I didn’t have to worry about the lines.”

What’s Next, Musically — Maybe

“Yes, there’s loads,” Richards said when I asked him if there were songs left over from Foreign Tongues, an album that grew out of leftovers from Hackney Diamonds. “With every record it seems to spawn more than you actually want. All in different states of readiness. You say, ‘This one’s going to take a lot of work, put it on the back burner.’ Others that have just been lying around for ages as a basic idea, and it’s never quite clicked. And then you turn a corner, and there you are — suddenly that other piece you’ve been looking for, and you go, ‘That’s where you are. That’s why I waited.’”

Right before we wrapped, I asked Richards if he might ever do another solo effort, a follow-up to 2015’s acclaimed Crosseyed Heart. “Talking to [drummer] Steve Jordan about that the other day,” he shared. “Not a bad idea.”

The Cure’s Robert Smith is not looking forward to the Chris Martin-curated half-time show at Sunday’s (July 19) FIFA World Cup final. For the first time in its history, the final will feature a half-time show, which runs to 11 minutes of the allotted 15-minute break. Broadcasters, however, expect the total half-time break to potentially run to 30 minutes, a violation of FIFA’s own rules.

The move has been roundly criticized as has the introduction of “hydration breaks” during the first and second halves, with fans often booing the breaks in the stadium.

Ahead of the match-up between Argentina and Spain for the trophy at the New York/New Jersey Stadium, Smith has blasted the show – set to feature BTS, Justin Bieber, Shakira and Madonna – and FIFA’s president Gianni Infantino in a pair of posts on The Cure’s official Instagram profile.

Sharing a description of the event alongside his own commentary, Smith’s caption reads: “The half-time show, which has been curated by Coldplay’s Chris Martin, will feature Madonna, Justin Bieber, Shakira and the K‑pop boyband BTS. Fifa’s president, Gianni Infantosser, has described the half-time show as ‘groundbreaking spectacle’ that will ‘celebrate football, music and our shared values, ensuring a legacy that transcends the final whistle.’ AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH… #Breadandcircuses #MUGWANK #pleasejustf–koff.”

A few hours later, Smith clarified that while he was not criticizing the artists themselves, he was disdainful of the show as a concept and the fact that President Trump will be on hand alongside Infantino to award the winner the coveted trophy.

He added, “sigh… FOR THOSE OF US NOT QUITE GETTING IT: THE POINT IS NOT R E A L L Y ABOUT W H O IS CURATING OR PERFORMING, IT IS ABOUT THE #MUGWANK I D E A OF A FOOTBALL WORLD CUP FINAL HALF TIME SHOW… IF YOU NOW UNDERSTAND MY ‘AAAAAAAGH!’ A BIT BETTER, BUT STILL DON’T AGREE, PLEASE ADJUST YOUR RED CAP, YOUR ‘I 🖤 JANNY + DONNY + $$$’ TSHIRT AND… KNOCK YOURSELF OUT? ONWARDS… RSX PS. “Infantosser has said he and US president Trumpton will small hand over trophy on Sunday”. SADLY, THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH A’S LEFT FOR THE ‘ARGH’ THAT SHOULD FOLLOW… #breadandcircuses #pleasejustf–koff #f–kfifa #justlookup.”

Smith is a longtime fan of west London team Queens Park Rangers. On Wednesday (July 17), England crashed out of the tournament following a 2-1 defeat to Argentina, with Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger caught on camera expressing his disappointment. 

The Cure is currently touring through Europe on a festival run with their next show set to take place on Friday (July 17) in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.

It’s Gracie Abrams’ week, and we’re just living in it. The U.S. pop artist today dropped Daughter From Hell, her third studio effort and the followup to 2024’s The Secret of Us, which went all the way to No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart.

One of its 16 tracks is “Minibar,” which Abrams and her full band performed late Thursday on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, a delicious entrée to her full album.

For the debut TV performance, Abrams slung an acoustic guitar and got to work with her full band, all of them bathed in a warm red light. Watch below.

Abrams also stuck around for a chat with Fallon. Right off the bat, Abrams confirmed she’s about to make her acting debut. “It’s happening. Yes, I leave very, very shortly,” she said, moving swiftly along before offering more details on what’s reported to be an A24 movie from Babygirl director Halina Reijn.

On her new album project, it’s “so cool for me,” he adds. “I feel stoked. It’s been nice to be back with the crew and band. And to kind of just, yeah, reunite. And the people that I made this with, I respect and admire so much.”

Abrams recounted how she freaked out during her 2025 Glastonbury Festival performance when she spotted Paul McCartney on the sidelines (there’s proof, caught on video), a neat segue to her forthcoming The Look at My Life tour. As the buzz built, her last tour scaled up to big rooms. This time, however, “we get the luxury of starting square one, like, wildest dreams kind of stage and design. Yeah, I’m really excited.”

Abrams will head out on her North America jaunt from Dec. 2 in Denver.

And for the record, the “Daughter From Hell” in that album really is Abrams. “That song was the last one that I wrote for the album, and it is like a, you know, decades overdue apology to my mom, basically,” she tells Fallon.” No, she wasn’t a monster child. Just a “defiant person,” which can be “turbulent” for mom and dad. “This is a thank-you note to her.”

In a sliding doors moment, Oliver Cronin might be jostling for a place in Australia’s national cricket team instead of releasing his own creations through Warner Music.

The breakout Australian artist was born and raised in Mullumbimby, a town in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, not far from Byron Bay. That dot on the map has produced Amy Taylor, the iconic singer with Amyl And The Sniffers, and Amethyst Kelly, better known by her former rap name Iggy Azalea. Add Cronin’s name to that list of Mullum’s music luminaries.

It might’ve been an entirely different journey. As a young teen, it was cricket, not music or even surfing, that dominated Cronin’s dreams. A talented bowler of the ball, throwing it down with pace, Cronin was selected for state teams. Before he would get the call from national team selectors, Cronin fell hard for music. “I had to choose between music and cricket because I understood what it took to be elite at something. And it takes a lot,” he tells Billboard.

He went all-in with music, and never looked back.

Cronin was a bright student, and a career in engineering awaited. He followed his music dreams, with the support of his mom, who studied and taught music, played in bands, and introduced the youngster to rhythm and melody before he could walk; and his father, a former professional photographer, now author.

If he was to tread that tricky path, he would need to study at a school of rock. Cronin, with his parents’ assistance, pursued a daily “regime” where, for the first three hours of the day, he’d study the music business, then write songs for several hours, and finish up with music videos and tutorials of artistry and the business behind it.

Now aged 24, Oliver has a record deal with Warner Music Australia, and the new EP Lost On The Way To Paradise, out today, July 17. Playing in the space between pop and R&B, the seven-song collection gathers the previously released cuts “Closure,” “7500 Miles,” and “Eyes Wide Shut.”

It’s the followup to 2024’s Halfway To Paradise, released in a year when he performed showcases and promo tours in North America, Canada, Germany, Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong, and caught the attention of WMG executives around the globe, culminating in a global partnership with Warner Records.

Halfway To Paradise expanded at the start of 2025 with Edge Of Paradise, a deluxe edition including the track “Maria,” a collaboration with Filipino band Lola Amour.

Cronin first signed with Warner Music in 2019, and released his debut Beautiful Nightmare in 2022, an EP that featured “Boys Don’t Cry,” a cut that caught fire on TikTok, a platform on which he boasts 1.1 million followers. Several releases have gone viral in India, the Philippines, and Germany.

Earlier this year, Cronin stepped out of his comfort zone and onto the catwalk. He debuted his 6’4” frame at Australian Fashion Week 2026 where he walked in Christian Kimber’s show — a moment he describes as “very scary” and “a bit of fun.”

With the release today of another slice of Paradise, Cronin has similar feelings.

“It’s always weird when I’m about to release music,” he told Billboard earlier this week. “Especially because this body of work is so personal to me and so, like, vulnerable and I sometimes have trouble letting go of these songs. I think once they’re out into the world, it’s no longer really mine. It’s kind of up,” he continues. “It’s for people to interpret and to listen to and to make their memories from my songs. So right now I’m holding on to the last little bit I have of these songs to be mine until they’re all out into the world. I’m excited because it’s been a long time since I’ve dropped a project.”

Billboard’s Friday Music Guide serves as a handy guide to New Music Friday’s most essential releases each week — the key music that everyone will be talking about today, and that will be dominating playlists this weekend and beyond. 

Last week, we featured Madonna, Sienna Spiro, Riley Green and more.

This week: Gracie Abrams shares her anticipated this album, Daughter From Hell (read Billboard‘s tracks ranked here); Steve Lacy is back with his self-produced third album, Oh yeah?; and Carly Rae Jepsen continues her Day and Night rollout with the release of the upcoming double album’s second single… plus much more. Check out all of this week’s picks below:

Gracie Abrams, Daughter From Hell

Gracie Abrams’ third album is finally here, just two years after The Secret of Us helped the pop singer emerge as a fast-rising star as the project debuted at No. 2 Billboard 200, bolstered by hit single “That’s So True.” This time, Abrams returned to producer Aaron Dessner’s Long Pond studio to craft the sonically intimate and lyrically expansive Daughter From Hell, led by surging singles “Hit the Wall” and “Look at My Life.” Release day focus track “Good Reason” is softer in its contemplation, as Abrams sings of putting herself first. “If only I chose you and not me/ If only I had a good reason,” she sings, with the quiet confidence of knowing she never needed one at all.

Steve Lacy, Oh yeah?

It’s been almost four years since Steve Lacy dropped his Grammy-winning Gemini Rights sophomore album and ascended to Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper status with “Bad Habit.” Now, the Internet alum has unveiled his third studio album, Oh Yeah?, which finds him sharing some of his most personal lyrics to date over whimsical fusions of synths and guitars. Featuring appearances by SZA, Erykah Badu and Cecile Believe, Oh Yeah? remains committed to The Funk™ — even in its most somber and self-effacing moments. — KYLE DENIS

Carly Rae Jepsen, “After All”

In late June, Carly Rae Jepsen announced a mega 24-track double album coming this September. Titled Day and Night, the album is fittingly divided into two sonic halves: a psychedelic pop side (Day) and a dance-pop side (Night). While lead single “On Wires,” which arrived with the album, feels distinctly day for its rock riffs and alternative feel, “After All” sounds more akin to nighttime. Boasting sleeker, tighter production, Jepsen dips into her falsetto on the song’s chorus accompanied by subtle hand claps that lead right into a groovy instrumental break — perfect for hitting the dancefloor. — L.H.

Bella Kay, “i deserve better”

Bella Kay opted out of a standard Friday release for her debut album, My Reckless Abandon, which she dropped over the weekend on July 12. Featuring her breakout hit “iloveitiloveitiloveit,” the album’s 13 tracks showcase the promising singer-songwriter’s range, which snaps into focus on closing song “i deserve better,” which staunchly contrasts the chaos-loving nature of a song like “iloveit.” Instead, Kay admits that “I love to blame myself/ It’s all on me when it goes to hell/ But this time, I don’t think that’s true…I’m not perfect, not ever/ But I still deserve better.” — L.H.

Dexter and The Moonrocks, “If You Could Talk”

Emerging Texas rockers Dexter and The Moonrocks broke out this March with “Freakin’ Out,” which earned the band its first Hot 100 entry. Now, the self-defined “Western space grunge” act is back with follow-up single “If You Could Talk,” a punchy track that plays with shifting tempo, building slowly into a proper rock song before winding back down — as if peeling back layers of a band as it continues to reveal itself in real time, and in front of a fast-growing fanbase. — L.H.

Rick Ross, Set in Stone 

Ricky Rozay is back with Set in Stone, his first solo studio album in five years. Though he’s spent most of 2026 celebrating the 20th anniversary of his beloved debut album, Port of Miami, the new 19-track set finds Ross living in the present. Assisted by a mind-boggling amalgamation of collaborators — including Leon Thomas, Don Toliver, Yung Miami, Max B, Jeezy and BigXthaPlug — Set in Stone delivers more of Ross’ signature luxury rap, this time from the perspective of an MC with two decades in the game. — K.D. 

Buju Banton, Too Too Bad 

Serving as a pseudo-sequel to 2006’s Too Bad, Buju Banton’s highly anticipated Too Too Bad has officially landed, complete with 13 rollicking reggae and dancehall tracks. In addition to his viral take on DJ MAC & CrashDummy’s “WYFL” riddim (“X Rated”), Too Too Bad also boasts collaborations with Gramps Morgan, Ari Lennox and DJ Khaled. Notably, Too Too Bad also marks the Grammy winner’s sixth release under VP Records, the label to which he recently returned after 23 years thanks to a newly minted deal. — K.D. 

The members of BTS take stock after a large night, shake off the cobwebs, and make themselves right at home in the music video for “NORMAL,” which is available to watch first on Spotify for a 48-hour exclusive.

Directed by Ukrainian filmmaker Tanu Muino, the clip dropped at midnight and features each of BTS’ seven members, capturing them letting off stream and in “deeply personal and intimate moments,” a statement reads. If there’s an eighth wonder, it’s the stately old mansion which hosts the lads. It’s a country pile that holds secrets, dozens of empty wine glasses and flashbacks the giveaway.

The wintry video gives us the now-viral image of Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook standing before a row of toilets, bringing the teaser campaign full circle, and we’re treated to a fine collection of dogs. And a swan.

“NORMAL” is housed on BTS’ fifth and latest studio album ARIRANG, and is the second single from it, after “SWIM.”

Interscope/Capitol Records will begin working “NORMAL” to pop radio as of the week beginning July 27.

“SWIM” sailed to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April, as ARIRANG rolled to No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The titles became the superstar septet’s seventh leader on each list.

On the live front, the BTS juggernaut is powering through the Continental Europe leg of a world tour in support of ARIRANG. Up next, concerts tonight and Saturday at Paris’ Stade De France, and on Sunday, July 19, the K-pop superstars will join Justin Bieber, Madonna and Shakira as co-headliners at the first FIFA World Cup Final Halftime Show at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.

To watch BTS’ “NORMAL” music video, Premium subscribers in beta markets can open Spotify on their TV, desktop, iOS or Android device, search for and play “NORMAL” by BTS, and tap “Switch to video”. The music video will start playing right where the song left off.

For a full-screen experience on mobile, simply turn your device to landscape mode. And to return to background listening, simply press “Switch to audio.”
