New Music Friday albums<\/p>\n
Foo Fighters<\/a> return with their 12th studio LP Your Favorite Toy. With six Official Number 1 albums already under their belts, can the fellas clinch a seventh next week?<\/p>\n They’ll face some stiff competition from Noah Kahan<\/a>, who delivers his fourth full-length collection The Great Divide. The Vermont singer-songwriter’s last release, 2022’s Stick Season<\/a>, became his first-ever UK chart-topper, and still finds itself on the list of 2026’s Official biggest albums so far<\/a>.<\/p>\n Off the back of her highest-charting single Folded<\/a>, Kehlani<\/a> serves up her self-titled project. The LP features a host of A-list collaborations with the likes of Brandy<\/a>, Missy Elliott<\/a>, Cardi B<\/a> and Big Sean<\/a>.<\/p>\n London-born multihyphenate Guvna B<\/a> drops his latest set This Bed I Made, and Meghan Trainor<\/a> isn’t coming to play with her seventh studio album Toy With Me.<\/p>\n Sheffield rockers Reverend And The Makers<\/a> offer up eighth LP Is This How Happiness Feels?, as Ringo Starr<\/a>\u00a0returns with his 22nd solo work Long Long Road.<\/p>\n Fellow Sheffield export Tom Rowley releases his debut project, Moses and The Drones. The unofficial \u2018fifth member\u2019 of Arctic Monkeys<\/a>, he\u2019s toured with the band for the past 12 years, often co-writing with the lads and\u00a0contributing guitar, keyboards and backing vocals since their AM<\/a> era. Monkeys frontman Alex Turner also produced one of the tracks on the record, Something Strange; one of the only times he’s ever co-produced on another artist’s project.<\/p>\n Rising British pop talent Tsatsamis drops his second project Tsycophant, the follow-up to 2024 release Our Shame.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, three big records are reissued with new material: Conan Gray<\/a>‘s Wishbone<\/a> Deluxe, Demi Lovato<\/a>‘s It’s Not That Deep<\/a> (Unless You Want It To Be) and The Kid LAROI<\/a>‘s BEFORE I FORGET<\/a> (DELUXE).<\/p>\n Now, let’s turn our attention to singles.<\/p>\n New Music Friday singles<\/p>\n Niall Horan<\/a> dishes up the second helping of his Dinner Party<\/a>, Little More Time. “[It’s a] song about wanting time to stand still. If you could just press pause and the world would stop yet you could still live within the world like no one was watching,” Niall explains. “I spend a lot of time away from home, so having found roots and wanting to be at home more, I felt compelled to write a song about the smaller moments and wishing that you could just stay in them.”<\/p>\n 10 years on from the release of their self-titled Number 1 debut album, Blossoms<\/a> are back with brand-new track Joke About Divorce. On the single, frontman Tom Ogden says: “During every argument, no matter how big or small, there\u2019s always that moment where humour could completely disarm you both and diffuse the whole thing.<\/p>\n “On this occasion, I thought joking about divorce would do exactly that. I just got the timing completely wrong. Instead, it made things worse, and that moment ended up immortalised in a three-and-a-half-minute pop song.”<\/p>\n Rising girl group XO – aka\u00a0Emmy, Reanna, Shali, Summer and Zoe – are busy being iconic with their latest cut Hotline. It serves as the first single from the fearless five-piece’s debut mini-album Need To Know, due October 16.<\/p>\n As he announces his upcoming concept album\u00a0The Outlaw Cherie Lee & Other Western Tales (try saying that after a double shot of whisky),\u00a0Shaboozey<\/a>\u00a0shares Born To Die.<\/p>\n Scunthorpe singer-songwriter Will Parker debuts with Mindless State, a deeply personal introduction reflecting on repetitive working life. On the single, Will explains: “You can fall into this robotic state. You start to think it\u2019s easier to just stay where you are instead of going after what you really want. This song is about pushing back against that – not letting your dreams fade.”<\/p>\n Fresh from his tour dates with 5 Seconds of Summer<\/a>, Californian alt-pop singer-songwriter Haiden Henderson unleashes freak for you, produced by Benny Cassette (SZA, Burna Boy).<\/p>\n Duran Duran<\/a> team up with Nile Rodgers<\/a> on Free To Love, a song Simon Le Bon describes as a slice of “disco for the 2020s.”<\/p>\n The artist formerly known as kamille kicks off a bold new era as kammy, a ‘creative identity rooted in unfiltered expression, confidence and complete artistic freedom.’ Read our exclusive First Listen of Kammy’s revenge-fuelled anthem who could love you like i do here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Fans of Lily Allen and Chappell Roan will want to check out Alfreda’s Adult Film Star, as London jazz-fusion duo TOAST CLUB offer up Mean Girl from their upcoming debut EP Lift, landing July 24.<\/p>\n Look out for more big new releases from BL3SS<\/a> (terms and conditions),\u00a0Muse<\/a> (Cryogen),\u00a0Clavish<\/a> (Greatest Rapper Alive),\u00a0Maisie Peters<\/a> and Julia Michaels<\/a> (Kingmaker), Jodie Harsh<\/a> (Touch), The Chainsmokers<\/a> and Oaks (Already Know), Library Card (Out Of Context), Alien Chicks (5\/4),\u00a0Kim Petras<\/a> (Need For Speed),\u00a0Hayley Kiyoko<\/a> and Gigi Perez<\/a>\u00a0(collide), Luvcat<\/a> (Vampire At The Beach), Karen Nyame KG (In My Room \/ Allure), Icona Pop (Dance To This<\/a>) and horsegiirL (earth is turning).<\/p>\n New Music Friday song, album and DVD releases for April 24 2026:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New Music Friday albums Foo Fighters return with their 12th studio LP Your Favorite Toy.
