Friday Music Guide: New Music From Lorde, Alex Warren & ROSÉ, KATSEYE 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, Lorde reinvents herself, Alex Warren brings ROSÉ into his sonic world, and KATSEYE continue a 'Gnarly' run of success. Check out all of this week's picks below: More from Billboard Adrian Quesada's Psychedelic Journey: How the Black Pumas Co-Founder Delved Into Latin America's Romantic Past LL Cool J Gives Fans an NYC Rap History Crash Course in 'Hip Hop Was Born Here' Trailer Teddy Swims Welcomes His First Child With Girlfriend Raiche Wright: 'We Love You Lil Man' Lorde, The promotional campaign for Lorde's long-awaited fourth album has involved tales of a bitter breakup and body dysmorphia, creeping feelings of stage fright and questions about her gender identity. Instead of retreating from the intimate pressure points and personal changes that have defined her mid-twenties, she poured them into a new album, and is now hoisting them up for the world to see. One listen to Lorde's Virgin confirms that it is by far the bravest album of her career. Read the full review of Lorde's new album. Alex Warren & ROSÉ, 'On My Mind' A No. 1 smash will often result in some interesting phone calls about potential collaborations, and after Alex Warren followed up his enormous hit 'Ordinary' with the Jelly Roll team-up 'Bloodline,' ROSÉ has now hopped on the latest single from his upcoming album You'll Be Alright, Kid, with the BLACKPINK star holding her own amidst the horns and kick drum on the somber, likable folk-pop sing-along. KATSEYE, More pop songs should sound as audacious as 'Gnarly,' KATSEYE's off-the-wall breakthrough single that leads off their new five-song EP — and while that hyperpop sledgehammer sets up a slightly more subdued project, the girl group scores with slinky pop harmonies ('Gameboy'), dance balladry ('Mean Girls') and a smart twist on the anthemic 'Gnarly' sound to close things out ('M.I.A'). Lizzo, Although Lizzo has released a handful of pop-leaning singles so far in 2025, My Face Hurts From Smiling features none of them — instead, the surprise mixtape is a full-throated foray into rap music, designed to let her have a blast on tracks alongside SZA and Doja Cat and further regain her mojo before a presumably more mainstream-focused new album. Don Toliver, 'FWU' Don Toliver's helium-coated voice joins forces with Mustard's hard-clapping production on 'FWU,' a new single that serves as Toliver's first solo single of the year and boosts his momentum without high stakes — 'FWU' rolls along ceaselessly and purposefully, meant to be played loud and more than twice. Various Artists, On the same day that the Brad Pitt racing drama zooms into theaters, the full F1 album is unveiled as the most star-studded soundtrack of the year, with previously released tracks by Don Toliver and Doja Cat, Tate McRae, Ed Sheeran and ROSÉ complemented by new offerings from Burna Boy, RAYE, Madison Beer and more — just be sure to save time for Peggy Gou's bright, shuffling 'D.A.N.C.E' in the back half. Barbra Streisand, Barbra Streisand's elegant sequel to her 2014 duets album Partners succeeds due to its smart guest list: while legends like Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan and James Taylor swing by to sing and pay homage, the appearance of artists like Hozier and Laufey nicely shake up the sound, and the Babs-Mariah Carey-Ariana Grande summit 'One Heart, One Voice' lives up to its high-powered pedigree. Editor's Pick: Blood Orange, 'The Field' On the same day that a major new pop release that Dev Hyne contributed to, Lorde's Virgin, is unveiled, indie fans can be equally enthralled by the first song in three years from his Blood Orange project: 'The Field' — which melds the voices of Caroline Polachek, Daniel Caesar and others with Hynes' own — is hauntingly gorgeous, a hymn-like variation on Blood Orange's danceable pop-R&B that hopefully previews more to come from the studio master. 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

Alex Warren taps BLACKPINK star ROSÉ for On My Mind
Alex Warren and ROSÉ have released their surprise collaboration, On My Mind. The Ordinary hitmaker had been teasing fans about teaming up with the BLACKPINK star on his social media accounts and the pair have now delivered a swoon-worthy love ballad. The track is a new addition to Warren's album You'll Be Alright, Kid. Set for release on July 18, the collection features all of the tracks from the 24-year-old star's debut LP You'll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1) alongside newbies such as smash hit Ordinary and Bloodline with Jelly Roll. You'll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1) focused on "dealing with grief", while You'll Be Alright, Kid "turns the page with healing, resilience and optimism." February's Ordinary spent 11 consecutive weeks at No.1 on the UK chart, marking the longest running No.1 in the UK by a US male solo act in more than 70 years and the joint longest running No.1 of the 2020s, tied with Ed Sheeran's Bad Habits. On the viral success of the TikTok hit, Warren told Variety: 'I am so forever grateful for all the support and will never stop saying thank you. 'I wouldn't have any of this if it weren't for my fans, so I am so appreciative.' Recounting how quickly Ordinary came to fruition, he shared: 'We wrote 'Ordinary' in December last year, started teasing it in January, and released it in February. 'In the music industry, that's a crazy fast turnaround, but we did that because we knew immediately how good it was. I've never had a song so quickly 'click' and I just had to put it out as soon as possible.'

JENNIE Melts Down on ‘Hot Ones,' But Thinks BLACKPINK's Jisoo Would Crush the Spicy Challenge: Watch
JENNIE had a pretty rough time taking on the infamous Hot Ones challenge. During her appearance on the web series Thursday (June 19), the BLACKPINK star — who admitted early on that she doesn't eat spicy food — began the episode with optimism, but ended up crying for help and running tearful laps around the table after facing the fiery spate of wings. More from Billboard A Complete List of BLACKPINK's Solo Projects (So Far) Rachel Zegler Serenades Crowd Outside Theater for Free in a New London Production of 'Evita' Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis to Receive Vanguard Award at The Guitar Center Music Foundation Gala & Benefit Concert 'In my daily life, I have nothing — no spice in my life,' JENNIE told host Sean Evans at the top of the show. 'I don't like spicy food or anything to do with spice. If anything, I like things plain, but here I am, facing my fear.' And face it she did. Things got painfully intense as the 29-year-old powered through the spice-laden challenge, following in the footsteps of her BLACKPINK bandmates ROSÉ and LISA, who had previously braved the wings of death in past episodes. Between interview questions about her debut solo album, Ruby, songs she fought for on the project, the importance of skincare, hearing fans sing her lyrics at concerts, and being a hamster mom, the singer and rapper visibly unraveled with each increasingly scorching bite. 'I think I'm allergic to spice!' she said at one point. The heat hit a whole new level when JENNIE reached wing No. 8, featuring the notorious Da' Bomb hot sauce. 'This is no joke,' she said, desperately grabbing a napkin to fan herself. After taking a dramatic lap around the table, she reached for milk and ice cream while screaming in agony. 'I can't hear anymore,' she said, forcing a smile. 'God, help me!' After somewhat regaining her composure, Evans asked if JENNIE might be able to convince JISOO — the only BLACKPINK member who hasn't yet appeared on Hot Ones — to take on the challenge. '100%, because she is the one who taught me spicy and she's the other you,' JENNIE replied. 'Like she made me eat spicy food with her. Ever since we were trainees. So, I think [Jisoo] should come on this show. You're gonna love it.' Reflecting on her bandmates' appearances, she added, 'Whatever ROSÉ and LISA did, this is the real reaction. Because I watched their episode and they were so chill about it so I was like if they're doing it, maybe I can do it too. But I can't!' Watch JENNIE's Hot Ones episode above.
