This week is a little light on new releases, but there are still some projects coming that you need to keep an eye on. Last week was loaded, so that should be able to carry you into this weekend too if you haven’t caught up. Here’s the music you need to know about that’s coming this weekend.
Juice WRLD- “Death Race For Love” 3/8
The “Lucid Dreams” rapper is set to release his second studio album Friday. It’s a follow up to his incredibly successful debut “Goodbye & Good Riddance.” The Chicago artist looks to double down on his success with this album release coming just 10 months after his first record.
Gessaffelstein- “Hyperion” 3/8
This might be the big surprise of the weekend, with French DJ Gessaffelstein dropping his second studio album, and first one since 2013. The Frenchman has linked up with The Weeknd and Pharrell on two singles for the album with the former amassing over 75 million streams on Spotify. Keep an eye out for this project.
Maren Morris- “Girl” 3/8
In a weekend filled with sophomore albums, Maren Morris caps off the list this week with her album “Girl.” Morris is most recognized for the mega-hit and Grammy award winning song “The Middle” by Zedd, but her solo work should not go unnoticed. She is billed as a country artist, but her stuff is way more on the side of indie pop/rock. She’s had one radio smash hit, so don’t be surprised if something catches from her new album.
That finishes up the list for this week. It’s a short list, but there is still stuff from last week that can be caught up on and the chance for some surprise drops. This list should be on your radar, though. All three of these artists have a chance to drop a hit this weekend and you don’t want to miss it.

Juice WRLD is getting ready to release his sophomore album ” Death Race For Love” which comes out tonight. So to get his fans excited he drops his Young Thug collab track “On God” which has them going back and forth on the track. With reports also saying that this album is in the same vein as Jay-Z ” Reasonable Doubt” there are a lot of expectations ahead of its release. You can listen to the track on all music streaming platforms.
Vampire Weekend has once again released their monthly batch of two new singles for March with “Sunflower” and “Big Blue.” The band also announced that their album, “Father Of The Bride”, will be released on May 3.
The first single, “Sunflower”, features Steve Lacy from The Internet. This is the first time Vampire Weekend has ever had a featured artist on any of their songs. In an Instagram post from lead singer Ezra Koenig, he shouts out Lacy for his contribution to the track and mentions how Lacy was a fan of the band growing up. Later in the post, Koenig confirmed that Jonah Hill will be directing the video for “Sunflower,” due to be released soon.
The other track, titled “Big Blue”, is a slower, spacier song, that comes across with light guitars and a synthy beat that glosses over the track. It’s a short and sweet track from the band, that sounds like a dream.
The next pair of singles should be released sometime in April, gearing up for the release of the album in May.

Singer/songwriter Khalid released a new track for us today by the name of “My Bad“. Listen to it below and be on the lookout for his new upcoming album, Free Spirit. Khalid is so smooth and talented and truly a free spirit.
Denzel Curry dropped a new song today titled “Aloha.” The track was produced by Charlie Heat, the second collaboration between the two, and the first since the release of “SUMO/ZUMO” off of Curry’s last album. This track is all about the production, piping in some funky horns backed by a thundering bass. Curry mixes in some different types of flows throughout the chorus and verses that mix well with the smoothness of the horns and the claps of the bass. It’s a solid new track from these two and they seem to be building a nice little rapport with one another.

The Black Keys have released their new single “Lo/Hi” with an announcement coming via Instagram. This marks the first release from the Akron duo since they dropped their last studio album “Turn Blue” back in 2014.
The single sounds like a return to form for the group after receiving mixed reviews on their last project. It sounds more similar to the stuff off “El Camino,” bringing in a real bluesy sound led by a catchy guitar riff from lead singer/guitarist Dan Auerbach. Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney haven’t missed a beat, even after a five year hiatus. If this single is any indicator of the direction of their sound, it seems that they want to go back to their roots of what launched them into the mainstream.
No word yet on any other music, but this single should mark the start of the next album rollout. To hold you off, I recommend the whole Black Keys catalog, as well as Auerbach’s solo project “Waiting on a Song.”
