The aptly-titled Swag II sees Bieber picking up where he left off on Swag, continuing with the alt-R&amp;B sound he curated so carefully on his last release. This time, though, Bieber recruits a few more faces to help him out, including features on the album from Tems, Hurricane Chris and Eddie Benjamin. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tOver in pop, Lady Gaga brought her Mayhem era back to life with \u201cThe Dead Dance,\u201d a new song she wrote specifically for the second season of Netflix\u2019s Wednesday that fits just as well within her latest dance-pop era. The grooving disco bass lines keep the tempo going as Gaga declares that she\u2019ll keep \u201cdancin\u2019 until I\u2019m dead.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tMeanwhile, Drake continued the rollout for his new Iceman project, this time with \u201cSomebody Loves Me Pt. 2\u201d featuring his $ome $exy $ongs 4 U partner PartyNextDoor, as well as rising hip-hop star Cash Cobain. Part remix , part rewrite, this new version of his and Party\u2019s single sees Drake turning up the heat on \u201cSomebody Loves Me\u201d before handing the mic over to Cobain for a fiery new verse. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tPlus, Big Thief return with their slimmed-down but sonically-vast new album Double Infinity, Calvin Harris and Jessie Reyez team up for a swim in the \u201cOcean\u201d and 3Quency keep the girl group summer going strong with \u201cTop Down.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tWith such a stacked roster of new music out this week, Billboard wants to know which release is your favorite.
