Billboard has put together its latest New Music Friday guide, highlighting the week’s biggest new releases across pop, Latin, R&B and more, according to Billboard.
Among the featured projects is Karol G’s sixth studio album, which arrives during her current stadium tour. Billboard says the 14-track release marks a more intimate and stripped-down era for the Colombian superstar, with collaborations that include Drake, Bruno Mars, Judeline, Rusowsky and Greg Gonzalez of Cigarettes After Sex.
Role Model is also featured with his third album, a project shaped by themes of time, turning 30 and trusting the process. Billboard describes the set as a reflective follow-up to his 2024 album Kansas Anymore, building on the harmonies and introspective songwriting he developed there.
FLO’s second album, Therapy at the Club, is another pick in the guide. Billboard says the British trio expands its late-1990s and early-2000s R&B sound with touches of ’80s synth pop, while Stray Kids’ tenth mini album THIS & THAT offers a mix of styles across its eight tracks.
The guide also spotlights new music from Sam Smith, Stella Lefty and Alex Warren, with Billboard noting each artist’s latest release as part of this week’s New Music Friday lineup.
