Blending a country-teasing intro with a standard pop production courtesy of Max Martin and Shellback, \u201cPatient Zero\u201d functions as a Trojan Horse for the sonic possibilities of a post-Showgirl Swift.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tOn the other end of the spectrum, <a href=\"https:\/\/billboard.com\/artist\/madonna\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Madonna<\/a> tapped <a href=\"https:\/\/billboard.com\/artist\/charli-xcx\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Charli xcx<\/a> for her latest Afterhours remix. This time, the two dance-pop maestros united for a reimagining of \u201cDanceteria\u201d that bridges Madge\u2019s L.E.S. origin story with the history of PC music\u2019s development in Los Angeles. Another powerhouse collaboration came by way of Maren Morris and Michelle Branch, who joined forces for a new version of Branch\u2019s nearly 25-year-old <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/hot-100\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Billboard Hot 100<\/a> No. 21 hit \u201cGoodbye to You.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThis week also featured notable new singles from Dolly Babe and Megan Thee Stallion (\u201cPink Blush\u201d remix), Kirk Franklin and GloRilla (\u201cThis Time\u201d), Shenseea (\u201cVulnerability\u201d), Maeta (\u201cDecimate\u201d), Labrinth (\u201cI Want to Know What Love Is\u201d), Brandy (\u201cA Different World\u201d), Tame Impala and Fcukers (\u201cLoser\u201d remix), serpentwithfeet (\u201cSentinel\u201d), Miranda Lambert (\u201cTwo Things Can Be True\u201d) and Imogen Heap (\u201cChapter 4\u201d).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/billboard.com\/artist\/tinashe\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tinashe<\/a> has one of the week\u2019s buzziest full-length releases with her aptly titled Popstar, an all-out manifesto for a new understanding of pop stardom that centers her experience as a Black woman and independent artist in that space. Rising pop star Jae Stephens explores similar themes on her highly anticipated debut album, Audacity, and Grammy-winning soulman Leon Bridges leaned into tempo on his new Happiness Anytime. Country superstar Kenny Chesney also shared his new Silver Sands Marina, while indie rocker Blondshell dropped her third album, Violins. Mexican singer-songwriter Emjay also shared a new 13-track set titled Pop Pesado.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThis New Music Friday also includes new albums from Tee Grizzley (They Forgot), J.I the Prince of N.Y (Tears from a Weeping Prince), DDG (Hit-a-Thon), Tank (Experience), Warren Zeiders (No Brakes), Topaz Jones (New Life), Nippa (Homegrown) and Nessa Barrett (Tough Love).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tWhich of these songs, EPs, and albums are you most excited about this week?
