Friday Music Guide: New Music From Miley Cyrus, Lorde, Tate McRae and More
Billboard's Friday Music Guide serves as a handy guide to this Friday's most essential releases — the key music that everyone will be talking about today, and that will be dominating playlists this weekend and beyond. This week, Miley Cyrus finds new pop beauty, Lorde upends expectations and Tate McRae revs up for F1. Check out all of this week's picks below: More from Billboard The Amity Affliction Cover Turnstile's 'Holiday' for 'Like a Version' Mariah Carey Celebrates 20 Years of 'The Emancipation of Mimi': Stream It Now Miley Cyrus' New Album 'Something Beautiful' This Way Comes: Stream It Now Miley Cyrus, Drawing upon classic pop influences while also letting her freak flag fly, Miley Cyrus offers a singular accomplishment on Something Beautiful — moving on from 2023's Endless Summer Vacation, which included the biggest hit of her career in 'Flowers,' with her most satisfying front-to-back listen to date, unbothered with trying to recreate radio success but still finding revealing hooks along the way. Lorde, 'Man of the Year' In the past, Lorde has liked to preview a new album with an uptempo lead single and a ballad-leaning follow-up — think Melodrama with 'Green Light' and 'Liability,' or Solar Power with the title track and 'Stoned at the Nail Salon' — but 'Man of the Year,' which comes after the fleet-footed 'What Was That,' is actually a red herring, starting off as a sparse reflection over bass plucks but then widening its stance, and ending with a fuzzed-out boom. Tate McRae, 'Just Keep Watching' Continuing a year in which she's leveled up as a pop star — as well as a week where she earned her first career Hot 100 chart-topper, alongside Morgan Wallen on 'What I Want' — Tate McRae hops into the F1 soundtrack mobile with 'Just Keep Watching,' a fast-moving club track with the type of quick-twitch percussion that could inspire more kinetic choreography if McRae incorporates the song into her live show. Leon Thomas, 'MUTT' may have marked Leon Thomas' arrival as a compelling new voice in popular R&B, its host album of the same name was just as sumptuous as its standout hit; now, MUTT contains even more acrobatic vocal takes by Thomas on its deluxe edition, which includes team-ups with Kehlani and Big Sean, as well as engrossing new solo cuts like 'HEEL' and 'NOT FAIR.' Mt. Joy, The 2020s have seen indie rock quintet Mt. Joy continuously graduate to bigger touring venues, culminating in a Madison Square Garden headlining gig on their last live trek — and instead of simply acting as another excuse for the group to hit the road, new album Hope We Have Fun translates the band's live energy to the studio, with songs like 'Highway Queen' and 'Pink Lady' jangling forward with blissed-out style. Clipse, 'Ace Trumpets' In the 2000s, Virginia hip-hop duo Clipse would regularly release Pharrell Williams-produced bangers that made their listeners scrunch up their noses in delight; then, Malice quit music to explore religion, and his brother Pusha T moved on to solo stardom. Now, Clipse (and Pharrell) are back, recapturing the magic on 'Ace Trumpets,' the head-knocking first track from long-awaited new album, Let God Sort Em Out. Ava Max, 'Lovin Myself' Across pop hits like 'Sweet But Psycho,' 'My Head & My Heart' and 'Kings & Queens,' Ava Max has prioritized electro-pop fun while offering a streak of self-empowerment; new single 'Lovin Myself' doubles down on the second half of that equation, with the singer declaring, 'I don't need nobody, I'm lovin' myself!' as warm synths rain down on her voice. Editor's Pick: Yeule, If Yeule's 2022 album Glitch Princess was their critical breakthrough, Evangelic Girl is a Gun is the first time we receive a full glimpse of the daring singer-songwriter: the hyperpop from years past has morphed into trip-hop, alt-rock and affecting balladry, but across the most vulnerable lyricism of Yeule's career, they still toss out mesmerizing pop ideas, as their song craft serves as a foundation for their roaming spirit. Best of Billboard Chart Rewind: In 1989, New Kids on the Block Were 'Hangin' Tough' at No. 1 Janet Jackson's Biggest Billboard Hot 100 Hits H.E.R. & Chris Brown 'Come Through' to No. 1 on Adult R&B Airplay Chart

Lorde goes topless for new video after stirring controversy over her gender
Lorde went topless this week as she teased the upcoming music video for her song Man of the Year. The 28-year-old music artist — who is Rolling Stone's June cover star — skipped a shirt while acting out a scene in which she looked down at her bare chest with a concerned expression. Another shot showed her spinning in a chair that was the sole piece of furniture in an empty room. Dressed in a pair of blue jeans, she was barefoot with her dark hair spilling around her. She wrote in a caption to her 11.2 million Instagram followers, 'M.O.T.Y. Tomorrow late New York time. Written in blood.' It comes after earlier this month the Royals hitmaker was accused of 'gender baiting' when she opened up about her 'expansive' identity in her Rolling Stone interview. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. She revealed in the profile, 'My gender got way more expansive when I gave my body more room.' The star shared that a conversation with fellow musician Chappell Roan encouraged her to reevaluate her gender identity. When Roan asked Lorde if she was non-binary, she answered: 'I'm a woman except for the days when I'm a man.' Lorde explained to the outlet, 'I know that's not a very satisfying answer but there's a part of me that is really resistant to boxing it up.' Despite towing the line between masculinity and femininity, the singer-songwriter said she still calls herself a cisgender woman and her pronouns remain she/her. She noted that she doesn't think 'my identity is radical' as 'comparatively, I'm in a very safe place as a wealthy, cis, white woman.' 'Making the expression privately is one thing, but I want to make very clear that I'm not trying to take any space from anyone who has more on the line than me,' Lorde, born Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O'Connor, stated. Some readers took to social media to express their confusion over the seemingly contradictory remarks. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lorde (@lorde) Others accused her of 'gender baiting' to drum up publicity for her album, with one person writing on X: 'Gender baiting is a sure marketing winner.' Someone else said, 'Holy sh**t, can we please stop with this c**p? Pop artists are cringe. I don't care what you identify as or your sexual orientation, but using it to sell records is getting played out. You all spew the same s**t.' 'We don't want this wokeness,' someone else declared while another critic agreed, 'Oh my god shut up.' The harsh comments continued, 'this is f*****g absurd,' 'Cringey gimmick,' and, 'We're tired.' Lorde's music video for her latest single — off her upcoming album Virgin, out on June 27 — drops on May 29.
