The Beatles never reunited after their 1970 breakup. A rumored Led Zeppelin reunion tour fizzled in recent years. But there's one bright spot for fans of seminal '60s and '70s music. Original "The Partridge Family" cast members David Cassidy and Danny Bonaduce teamed for an April 9 Atlantic City, N.J., show to perform one of the group's big hits, "Doesn't Somebody Want To Be Wanted," with Bonaduce learning and playing the tune's bass part for the performance. Bonaduce, now a radio DJ in Philadelphia, had pantomimed his bass playing during the sitcom's TV run in the early '70s. For Cassidy's part, he told fans, "I'm no different from anybody else, I've been touring around the world for 40 years…been on television shows, on Broadway, and recently got arrested for a DUI…." Quick, someone call Reuben Kincaid.

In semi-related sort of reunion news, the Beastie Boys have directed a bevy of today's stars in a short film celebrating their seminal white-rap hit "Fight For Your Right." Playing two generations of Beastie Boys are Danny McBride, Seth Rogen and Elijah Wood, and Jack Black, Will Farrell and John C. Reilly. Also starring in Fight For Your Right Revisited, which appears to honor the original song's celebration of all things sophomoric, are Steve Buscemi, Ted Danson, Laura Dern, Kirsten Dunst, Rashida Jones, Amy Poehler, Jason Schwartzman, Chloe Sevigny, Alicia Silverstone, and Rainn Wilson, among others. The film will be released in conjunction with the Boys' saucy new album, Hot Sauce Committee Part 2, on May 3.

Sir Paul McCartney is calling on a little help from his friends to record an album of cover songs that will span the former Beatles' solo career and songs he recorded while with Wings. Artists expected to contribute to the covers album include the Cure, Kiss, Billy Joel, and McCartney's son James. While an official track listing and release date have yet to be revealed, we're hoping for a Kiss rendition of "Band On The Run" and a sweet piano melody on "Live And Let Die" from Joel.

Sometimes an album comes along that has a limited chart shelf life but is so artistically rich that it begs to be revisited later. Released in November 2008 with epic fanfare, Guns 'N Roses' Chinese Democracy debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, but just five months later the album dropped off the chart. Longtime GNR fans may have been miffed by the absence of Slash or Duff McKagan and not sure what to make of tracks such as "Shackler's Revenge," "Madagascar" or "Riad N' The Bedouins." But now, more than two years later, the album sold more than 3,000 copies to reenter the Billboard 200 at No. 198. Are listeners rediscovering the opus that took GNR frontman Axl Rose nearly 15 years to finish? Possibly. Either that, or Best Buy's special sale price of $1.99 was just too good to pass up. Welcome to the bargain jungle.

The Prince has landed in Los Angeles and he's there to stay…at least for 21 straight nights. As part of his Welcome 2 America tour, Prince kicked off an impressive 21-date stand in L.A. on April 14 at the Forum in Inglewood, Calif. "I will be starting a 21-night stand text Thursday the 14th at the L.A. Forum with the New Power Generation and a whole gang of special guests," said Prince during an announcement made via phone call on the "Lopez Tonight" show. "I'm gonna blast the roof off that place, I promise!" Sounds like Prince and the gang are ready to go crazy.

Have you ever wondered what your favorite artists do backstage while waiting to perform for thousands of screaming fans? Well, if you're a Liam Gallagher fan, rest assured he's not tiring himself out by doing repeats of push-ups, squats or arm curls to warm up. No, he's listening to Rod Stewart's equally sweat-inducing "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" Gallagher spoke with BBC Radio 1 prior to a gig in the UK with his new project Beady Eye, revealing to radio personality Zane Lowe that the 1979 hit gets him "pumped up" to hit the stage. When Lowe asked about a member of the Beady Eye crew who reportedly asked that Gallagher choose something else, the former Oasis member replied, "Someone in our camp needs to get a sense of humor." You're right, Liam, funny is the new sexy.

In scientific research news, UK website Tastebuds.fm announced the results of a music dating "survey" that found fans of Coldplay were least likely to go "all the way" on a first date. On the other side of the spectrum, Nirvana fans were most likely to make whoopee on a first date, followed by fans of Metallica and Linkin Park. (Oddly enough, fans of the Sex Pistols, Wham! or Porno For Pyros did not make the grade.) Whether this survey will cause a surge in catalog album sales for Nirvana remains to be seen. However, it would seem that the question, "Which is your favorite grunge band led by Kurt Cobain?" is a strong candidate to leapfrog "What kind of car do you drive?" and "How much money do you make?" on the essential first-date question list.

It's hard to tell if this story is a comment on the state of music, the economy or just one very stressed-out and musically out-of-touch man. According to the Smoking Gun, a California man shot his son's stereo speaker with a 16-gauge shotgun after the latter didn't turn down his "disco" music to a level meeting the father's approval. Turns out the son, Anthony Jarmolowicz, is an unemployed 24-year-old aspiring DJ living at home and obviously working his dad's last nerve while practicing. Father Stanislaw Jarmolowicz appears to be a fed-up father living in 1977. Meanwhile, the speaker seems to be innocent and caught in the crossfire. Stanislaw was arrested by Yuba County cops, and though no criminal charges were filed, authorities may want to offer anger management and musical styles of the 21st century counseling.

Katy Perry's "E.T." featuring Kanye West is No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem" featuring Lauren Bennett and GoonRock is tops on the iTunes singles chart.

Last Week In Music 

In 1994, Oasis offered a reset for British indie rock. While the title of their debut album, Definitely Maybe, may have hinted at uncertainty, the siblings at the heart of the record were never anything less than 100 percent cocksure.

"We were ready to wipe everybody out," the band's most natural raconteur Noel Gallagher later revealed to Mojo. "However loud they were, we were louder. However fast they were, we were faster. However good they were, we would trump it." 

It was this unbridled bravura that helped the Manchester-based brothers Noel and Liam (who were renowned just as much for their musical talents as their uncanny ability to pick a fight with each other), as well as bassist Paul "Guigsy" McGuigan, guitarist Paul "Bonehead"Arthurs, and drummer Tony McCarroll fulfil such lofty ambitions. Oasis quickly became the U.K.'s biggest guitar band of the ‘90s with a no-nonsense sound which incorporated the spirit of punk, the swagger of Madchester, and the songcraft of Beatlemania. 

The rest of the world soon started to take notice, too. The album's "Live Forever" hit No. 2 on Billboard's Alternative Airplay chart, and Definitely Maybe reached platinum status in the States, paving the way for a GRAMMY-nominated mainstream breakthrough with 1995's follow-up (What's The Story) Morning Glory.

Just before Oasis released a 30th anniversary edition of their debut album, they gave fans an even bigger surprise: a reunion tour announcement. The band will perform 14 shows across the UK and Ireland from July 4 through Aug. 17, 2025, including four hometown shows at Manchester's Heaton Park and four shows at London's famed Wembley Stadium.

As you dig into Definitely Maybe's latest re-release — filled with outtakes, B-sides and live performances — revisit the original release and learn why Definitely Maybe is considered such a game-changer.   

It Brought Back Showmanship

As its name suggests, the shoegaze scene that defined British indie in the early 1990s desperately struggled with eye contact. Oasis, on the other hand, burst out of the blocks determined to connect with every single member of their audience. In the bold and bolshy form of Liam, they had the most magnetic frontman around. 

The younger Gallagher brother wasn't a Mick Jagger-style showman; you'd never catch him bouncing from one end of the stage to the other. In fact, he'd often stay rooted in the same spot for the entire set. But his now-iconic pose — hands behind his back, sporting a duffle coat, sneering into the microphone seemingly placed a few inches too high — was such an ebullient display of swagger it left fans continually transfixed. Just look at their Glastonbury 1994 performance two weeks after releasing their second single for proof.  

It Reflected The Working Class

While Britpop progenitors Blur and Suede emerged from the bohemia of London's art college scene, Oasis' roots were in the deprived Manchester suburb of Burnage. Noel spent his early adulthood as a roadie for neighboring indie favorites the Inspiral Carpets, while Liam had once joined his father laboring on building sites. As a result, they were able to reflect the lives of the masses far more effectively and authentically than most of their peers.  

Hailed as “one of the greatest social statements of the past 25 years” by manager Alan McGee, "Cigarettes and Alcohol" advocates hedonism as a means of escaping the drudgery of the 9-5. And "Slide Away," written by Noel about ex-girlfriend Louise Jones, proved that Oasis could even talk about feelings in a manner relatable to those who wouldn’t normally touch love songs with a 10-foot pole.  

It Wasn't Afraid Of The Obvious 

Unlike Blur's Parklife, Pulp's Different Class, or the majority of albums that defined the Britpop era, Definitely Maybe wasn't dripping in post-modernism, irony, or knowing winks. "What you see is what you get" was essentially Oasis' default approach. And while their lyrics were often of the "moon in June" variety (see "What a life it would be/If you could come to mine for tea" on "Digsy's Dinner"), their refreshing simplicity only added to their universal appeal.  

The Mancunians also weren't afraid to wear their influences firmly on their parka jackets' sleeves. The Beatles' fingerprints are all over the record as you'd expect from such devout acolytes. But Oasis also brazenly borrow from the New Seekers' Coca-Cola anthem "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing" ("Shakermaker") and T-Rex's glam rock classic "Get It On" ("Cigarettes and Alcohol"). "Never be afraid of the obvious," Noel once reasoned. "Because it's all been done before." 

It Turned Everything Up To 11 

It took three attempts to nail Definitely Maybe's towering Wall of Sound. The band first entered Wales' Monnow Valley Studios with the Kinks producer Dave Batchelor. But he struggled to replicate the energy of their live shows and apart from "Slide Away," all of his contributions were scrapped. 

Noel then took on producing duties alongside Mark Coyle, but their overdubbed attempt proved to be unsatisfactory, too. In the end, it was left to engineer Owen Morris to salvage from the sonic wreckage in a studio owned by Johnny Marr. Drawing upon techniques he'd learned from Phil Spector, Tony Visconti, and Bernard Summer, his final mix was so "in your face" that it apparently left the Smiths guitarist appalled. 

That was a lone voice of dissent, however, for a dynamic record which on the likes of "Bring It On Down," "Up In The Sky," and "Columbia," proved that sometimes, you just need to turn everything up to 11.  

It Had Ambitions Of Grandeur 

Brits aren't exactly renowned for their self-aggrandizing. So the Gallagher brothers raised several eyebrows when they immediately began shouting from the rooftops about their quest for world domination. "We don't want to be an indie band from England who've had a couple of hits," Noel told the Observer shortly before Definitely Maybe's release. "We want to go on and be an important band," he added before claiming that people would still be buying the record 20 years on. 

It wasn't just in broadsheet interviews where the Gallaghers blew their own trumpets, though. After all, Definitely Maybe opens with "Rock 'n' Roll Star," a clearer statement of intent you'd be hard pressed to find. Luckily, such unwavering confidence was justified. The album sold 86,000 copies in its opening chart-topping week, making it the fastest-selling debut in UK chart history. It also spawned four Top 40 hits in their homeland, helped Oasis win the Best New Artist BRIT, and boasts a worldwide sales tally of 8.5 million.  

It Reinvigorated The B-Side 

As its various special editions have further highlighted, the Definitely Maybe campaign kickstarted arguably the greatest run of B-sides of the ‘90s. Only Oasis would have the audacity to tackle the Fab Four's psychedelic collage "I Am The Walrus" — fully aware that they'd be inviting tribute act comparisons in the process — and then somehow make it their own.  

Best-known in the UK as the theme to slice-of-life sitcom "The Royle Family," "Half The World Away" is a beautifully melancholic acoustic ditty which proved the Mancunians were just as compelling when they dropped all the male bravado. Meanwhile, "Fade Away" channeled the filth and the fury of punk icons Sex Pistols on a bittersweet ode to growing up. All would make the cut for 1998's The Masterplan, the compilation of B-sides which outclassed most of their peers' A-games.  

It Single Handedly Saved An Iconic British Label 

From Teenage Fanclub's Bandwagonesque to Primal Scream's Screamadelica, Creation Records was responsible for releasing several truly seminal guitar records in the late '80s/early '90s. But thanks to the spiraling costs for My Bloody Valentine's opus Loveless and founder Alan McGee's issues with substance abuse, the label was at the risk of going under until they somehow managed to wrestle a certain Mancunian band from under the noses of all the majors.   

Definitely Maybe's domestic sales of 2.4 million proved to be a lifeline for Creation, allowing them to release acclaimed efforts such as Super Furry Animals' Fuzzy Logic, The Boo Radleys' C'mon Kids, and Saint Etienne's Good Humour. It also issued Oasis' follow-ups (What's The Story) Morning Glory and Be Here Now before McGee decided to pull the plug at the turn of the century.  

It Converted A Whole New Audience 

For better or for worse, Oasis' remarkable ascent coincided with the rise of laddism, a British — and typically white straight male — subculture in which sex, alcohol, and soccer (not necessarily always in that order) were the ultimate priorities. And unsurprisingly, the beer-swilling, Manchester City-supporting Gallagher brothers were soon adopted as its soundtrack.  

Oasis, or rather their marketing team, were particularly canny in how they reeled in legions of new fans who previously wouldn't have dreamed of spending their hard-earned cash on an album, placing Definitely Maybe advertisements in publications more focused on sport and clubbing than indie music. Such tactics created a loyal following who, thanks to singalong anthems like "Live Forever" and "Cigarettes and Alcohol," could replicate the atmosphere of the terraces at any gig. It's unlikely that the Britpop movement would have gathered such pace had Oasis not thought outside the box first.  

It Made Indie Music Headline News 

Oasis' increasingly bitter rivalry with Blur famously graced the BBC's Six O'Clock News on the eve of their historic 1995 chart battle. But the former had already made headlines several times during the Definitely Maybe campaign, and sibling rivalry was often the cause.  

Indeed, the Gallaghers quickly became a tabloid editor's dream, particularly during a Stateside tour in which the pair mistook crystal meth for cocaine, Liam hit his brother with a tambourine, and Noel briefly quit the group. Such was the fascination with the pair's fraught relationship that a recording of an argument — "Wibbling Rivalry" — even entered the lower reaches of the UK charts. 

Definitely Maybe put indie music on the map in places that previously wouldn't have gone near it. And for the next three years, they dominated both Britain's charts and newspaper columns like no other guitar band since or before.  

Between album anniversaries, surprise announcements and exciting new tracks, this week's New Music Friday (Aug. 23) is a full-blown celebration of tunes past and present.

On the album front, high-profile new releases include Sabrina Carpenter's Short n' Sweet, Thomas Rhett's About a Woman, Lainey Wilson's Whirlwind and All Time Low's The Forever Sessions Vol. 1. Plus, Warren Zeiders serves up his sophomore album, Relapse, and Randy Rogers Band celebrate the 20th anniversary of their 2004 LP Rollercoaster with a remastered re-release.

Meanwhile, Travis Scott and Ariana Grande each commemorate major anniversaries by dusting off vault tracks from some of their earliest works, blink-182 tease the second part of their latest album, Jessie Reyez links up with Lil Wayne and more.

Below, dive into some of this week's most exciting new releases, including samplings of electronic, rap and country.

Travis Scott — 'Days Before Rodeo' (Tenth Anniversary Edition)

Released on August 18, 2014, Days Before Rodeo served as the buzzy prequel for Travis Scott's debut album, Rodeo, which would arrive the following year and officially crown the Houston MC as one of rap's fastest-rising stars.

A full decade later, Scott is revisiting Days Before Rodeo for a new 10th anniversary edition complete with — as the rapper revealed when announcing the release earlier this week —"COUPLE DBR SONGS FROM THAT ERA FROM THE VAULT." If the all-caps pronouncement didn't give away Scott's palpable excitement at revisiting his seminal mixtape, he added a string of giddy gibberish followed by "IM FCKING JUMPING THRU WALLS AHHHH" for good measure. 

The number of tracks Scott tacked onto the end of his 2014 mixtape — which is now available for the very first time on all streaming platforms, in its original form — actually ended up being more than just a couple, including "Mo City Flexologist," "Too Many Chances," Young Thug's "Yea Yeah" featuring Scott as a guest artist, "Serenade" and "Whole Lots Changed" featuring Yung Mazi. (As of press time, it appears the Days Before Rodeo deluxe edition is only available for purchase via Scott's official website.)

Ariana Grande — 'My Everything (Tenth Anniversary Edition)'

Also celebrating a seminal 10th anniversary, Ariana Grande honored her sophomore album, My Everything, on Aug. 22 — the exact day it was released in 2014. The fan-favorite LP catapulted Grande from promising young starlet to bonafide pop sensation, so it was only right that she celebrated it with a 10th anniversary edition.

Along with smash hits like "Break Free," "Bang Bang" and "Problem" and OG bonus cuts "Only 1" and "You Don't Know Me," Ari reached into her vault to finally gift fans with the official studio versions of "Cadillac Song" and "Too Close."

Co-written by Victoria Monét, the former finds the soon-to-be Wicked star caught up in a breezy, doo-wop-inflected daydream as she hits the road in her titular Caddy over a sample of the 1972 deep cut "How Love Hurts" by R&B family act the Sylvers. The latter, meanwhile, revisits the early magic a young Ari captured with producer Harmony Samuels as she teases, "Baby, tell me, do you feel it like I do?/ 'Cause we both know what could go down/ If we get too close" over a bouncing, elastic beat.

We're still more than a full lunar cycle away from the release of Coldplay's Moon Music, but that didn't keep Chris Martin and co. from sharing a second taste of their forthcoming 10th album in the form of "WE PRAY."

The British rockers first debuted the single live during their headlining set at Glastonbury 2024 this summer, and the official studio version features guest turns by Lil Simz, Burna Boy, Elyanna and TINI. The special 12" vinyl and EcoCD formats — also out now — include five different versions of the song, including the live debut recorded from the Pyramid Stage at Worthy Farm.

Months after dropping her single "SHUT UP" featuring Big Sean, Jessie Reyez is back with "RIDIN," another high-profile collab — this time with Lil Wayne.

The mid-tempo jam is equal parts romantic and eyebrow-raising as the Canadian songstress warbles, "Hold me/ Since love always hurt me baby/ I'mma need you to choke me/ Since love always let me jump/ I'mma need you to hold me/ Let me deep inside" on the chorus.

Reyez then cedes the floor to Weezy, who gets the entire second verse to deliver a sexually charged stanza that officially adds "legs like a Twizzler" and "drive me like a Nissan" to the Kama Sutra of modern come-ons.

On Aug. 19, blink-182 surprised fans with the news that they were doubling down on their 2023 album ONE MORE TIME… — their first in nearly a decade to feature OG member Tom DeLonge — by adding eight more songs to the track list.

While the rest of ONE MORE TIME… Part 2 drops Sept. 6, the first two songs of the new batch are "ALL IN MY HEAD," a galloping banger that sees the pop-punk trailblazers questioning existence, touring and the relentless march of time, and "NO FUN," a slice of end-of-summer punk rock that blends equal doses of nostalgia and paranoia.

Mura Masa may already have three full-lengths under his belt, but the British producer's new album, Curve 1, marks his first studio set on his own Pond Recordings imprint as a fully independent artist.

Led by previously released singles like "Whenever I Want" and "Drugs" featuring Daniela Lalita, Curve 1 also features the GRAMMY winner collaborating with the likes of Singaporean synth-pop artist Yeule on "We Are Making Out" and 2000s R&B girl group Cherish, whose 2007 single "Killa" is sampled prominently on highlight "Fly."

Offering up a second taste of her forthcoming mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal, Doechii attacks the mic with her trademark combination of ferocity and humor on "Boom Bap," a blistering freestyle that follows the deliciously braggadocious "Nissan Altima."

Also arriving in the wake of "Alter Ego," Doechii's recent collab with JT of City Girls, the Swamp Princess looks back at her journey to becoming one of hip-hop's most inventive wordsmiths on "Boom Bap" as she spits, "I gave my soul to this s—, ate lumps of coal for this s—/ Went on the road for this s—, played humble for this s—" in between name-checking the likes of J.Cole and producer Camper and blowing raspberries in the direction of her haters.

As Nate Smith sits atop Billboard's Country Airplay chart with "Bulletproof," he reaches for the rafters on his anthemic new single "Fix What You Didn't Break." A fitting follow-up to the recent duet version of "Bulletproof" with Avril Lavigne, the country upstart looked to the sounds that defined the early millennium for his latest release.

"I've always been a huge fan of big, epic pop rock songs of the 2000s — bands like Lifehouse, Goo Goo Dolls, 3 Doors Down were all influences in my early teens," Smith tells GRAMMY.com, describing his new single as "the perfect blend of 2000s rock and heartfelt country…This is easily one of my favorites I've released."

"Fix What You Didn’t Break" will be one of 16 tracks on Smith's forthcoming sophomore album, California Gold, which will be released Oct. 4.

As August temperatures remain hot, so does the new music. With fresh tracks spanning all genres from dance to rap, there's plenty to explore this New Music Friday.

Check out albums like NIKI's Buzz, Logic's Ultra 85, and Little Big Town's Greatest Hits, as well as first tastes of forthcoming projects from Kelsea Ballerini, Katy Perry and Leon Bridges. Plus, there's plenty more new songs from the likes of The Kid LAROI and beabadoobee, as well as thrilling collabs from ATEEZ and G-Eazy, and J Balvin and Feid.

No matter what genre you gravitate towards, there's something new to discover. Be sure to check out these 10 musical offerings before you kick off your weekend.

Just hours before New Music Friday hit, Shawn Mendes celebrated his 26th birthday with a gift to his fans: not one, but two new songs.

The first taste of his upcoming fifth studio album, Shawn, the two tracks — "Why, Why, Why" and "Isn't That Enough" — present a folkier side of Mendes' musicality, leaning into the acoustic sound of his early music but with an indie flair. Mendes also released the official video for "Why Why Why," which sees shots of the singer playing his guitar in nature transposed with footage of him performing on stage.

In celebration of the release, Mendes played an intimate show at Bearsville Theater in Woodstock, New York, performing Shawn in its entirety two full months before its Oct. 18 arrival. He'll play five more full-album shows: London, U.K. on Aug. 13, Nashville, Tenn. on Oct. 14, Brooklyn, New York on Oct. 18, Los Angeles on Oct. 22, and Seattle on Oct. 24.

After scoring hits with Clean Bandit and David Guetta respectively, Anne-Marie brings them both together for another vibrant, upbeat electronic anthem. "Cry Baby" takes inspiration from early 2010s dance music, reminiscent of the era when the genre dominated the airwaves.

Featuring a haunting whistle hook and Anne-Marie's powerful vocals layered over pulsing instrumentals from the dance giants, "Cry Baby" is a powerhouse collaboration showcasing some of the best talents in electronic music.

Three years after 2021's Hall of Fame, Polo G is back with his fourth studio album, Hood Poet. The album was shelved for over a year due to outstanding circumstances, but it's finally here, and rap fans couldn't be more hyped.

The four singles that teased the project include "Barely Holdin' On," "Distraction," "Angels In The Sky," and "We Uh Shoot," featuring Lil Durk. These tracks feature a range of instrumental backgrounds, from soft piano layers to thumping beats, all showcasing Polo G's powerful and passionate vocal lines. 

Although the wait was long it was no doubt worth it, as the tracks on Hood Poet represent some of Polo G's finest work, from the refined production to his evocative, creative storytelling.

Continuing to tease songs from her forthcoming seventh studio album, 143, Katy Perry delivers her latest dance-pop track, "Lifetimes." The song is a lively, upbeat anthem representing unconditional love.

On Instagram, Perry posted a photo with her partner, Orlando Bloom, using a filter that aged her 50 years, with the track playing in the background. However, Perry recently revealed to The Sun that the song is actually about her 3-year-old daughter, Daisy – a sweet ode to the unmatched feeling of maternal love.

"Every night, before we go to sleep, I say, 'I love you', and then I ask, 'Will you find me in every lifetime?' and she says, 'Yes'," Perry revealed.

Two months after ATEEZ released their 10th mini album, GOLDEN HOUR: Part 1, the K-pop group is still breathing new life into the project's single "WORK" — this time, with the help of G-Eazy. Titled "WORK Pt. 4," the song's latest version features some steamy lines from G-Eazy on the second verse, bringing a risqué edge to the punchy rap-pop track.

"WORK Pt. 4" follows two electronic reimaginings of "WORK," as "Pt. 2" featured a remix by Dutch producer Don Diablo and "Pt. 3" was reworked by ATEEZ's production team, Eden-ary. While "WORK Pt. 4" is the closest to the bumping original, a press release teased that the newest version "reflects the ever-challenging spirit of ATEEZ."

Following the 70th anniversary of Elvis Presley's debut single, "That's All Right," RCA Records and Legacy Recordings have released a sprawling 111-track box set, MEMPHIS. The career-spanning collection features recordings from his earliest sessions at Sun Studios through his final works from the Jungle Room in Presley's Graceland home.

Aside from the Sun Studios recordings, all of the tracks were newly mixed by four-time GRAMMY winner Matt Ross-Spang, who removed all of the overdubs to highlight Presley's original vocal recordings. MEMPHIS offers a new perspective on the King of Rock and Roll, providing a clear listening experience that further immortalizes his one-of-a-kind vocal prowess.

With their 26th studio album, Flight b741, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard dive into a classic blues-rock sound, a departure from their usual psychedelic, experimental garage rock style.

The album features the Australian band's admirable response to current world issues, such as climate change, set against music that embraces the spirit of traditional rock. The concept focuses on how the music translates during their live performances.

Just after the album's release, the band will embark on a massive world tour, beginning Aug. 15 in Washington, D.C., and concluding at the end of November in Miami. The tour includes four shows billed as "marathon sets," where King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard will perform for three hours each night.

GRAMMY-nominated rapper Latto pays homage to her Southern hip-hop roots on her fittingly third studio album, Sugar Honey Iced Tea. The LP boasts an impressive list of collaborators, including Playboi Carti, Megan Thee Stallion, Ciara, and Cardi B.

Latto told Billboard that after a decade in the rap game, she feels she's already proven herself. Now, she is returning to her roots and making music that speaks to her, regardless of whether she receives additional flowers for it or not.

"I feel like what I'm doing has not been done before, so let's start there. [Aesthetically], I've been pulling from Mariah Carey, Beyoncé, and Lil' Kim. [Musically], I've been pulling from Kelis, but obviously with a Southern hip-hop twist," Latto says. "They have very feminine energy, but masculine in the sense of confidence."

Embracing both sides of his Mexican and American cultural identity, 20-year-old DannyLux blends elements of Western house music with his tender Spanish lyricism on "Soltera."

Produced by Mexican-American producer 8onthebeat, the track is a fast-paced earworm perfect for hitting the dance floor. In the music video, DannyLux dances around different rooms of a house and singing along — setting the example for what listeners are bound to do once they press play.

LA LOM — 'The Los Angeles League of Musicians'

If you haven't heard of LA LOM yet, prepare for that to change. The Los Angeles-native trio is on the rise, earning an opening slot for Vampire Weekend earlier this year; now, they are unveil their debut album, The Los Angeles League of Musicians.

The project is a guitar-focused masterpiece, drawing inspiration from traditional Peruvian cumbia music. Featuring a diverse range of tracks, listening to The Los Angeles League of Musicians offers a unique sonic experience. The album takes listeners on a journey from laid-back, lo-fi tunes to uptempo dance tracks, perfect for a get-together with loved ones or a night out on the dance floor at your favorite hole-in-the-wall venue — a perfect weekend soundtrack.

As summer rolls on, more tracks from artists across all genres continue to drop, and we couldn't be more excited. With album releases from John Summit, HARDY, OneRepublic, and Cat Burns to fresh singles from collaborations including Alesso and Nate Smith, July 12 brings a handful of new music to enjoy.

As you stroll through the weekend, make sure to check out these nine musical projects:

Serving as the lead single from 143, her first studio album since 2020, Katy Perry releases "Woman's World," a new pop track celebrating girl power and womanhood. Perry wrote the track alongside songwriter Chloe Angelides and producers Dr. Luke, Vaughn Oliver, Rocco Did It Again!, and Aaron Joseph.

Initially teasing the track through social media, the song drew attention from pop fans globally. The lead single from 143 marks both a comeback and a new era for the American Idol judge. "I set out to create a bold, exuberant, celebratory dance-pop album with the symbolic 143 numerical expression of love as a throughline message," Perry explains in a press statement.

Guess who's back? Eminem returns with his twelfth studio album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce). The album appears to be his last project before retiring his notorious alter ego, Slim Shady.

A standout track on the album is "Guilty Conscience 2," a sequel to the 1999 collaboration with Dr. Dre. Leading up to the album release, Eminem dropped two singles, "Houdini" and "Tobey," featuring Big Sean and BabyTron. The album is both a blast from the past and a revived representation of the renowned Detroit-raised rapper.

Premiering the song at her Machaca Fest set, Nelly Furtado returns to music with "Corazón," the lead single off her new album 7. The track is an upbeat dance song with lyrics in both Spanish and English, along with drums and flutes that bring it to life. The track was two years in the making, according to Furtado on Instagram.

"The essence of the song is that we're just out here living and trying to do our best," Furtado told Vogue. "Even when we make mistakes, it's coming from the heart. When it comes from the heart, it's never a mistake."

7 is set to captivate both loyal fans and new listeners. Centered around the vibrant theme of community, Furtado felt an irresistible pull toward creating new music, inspired by the diverse communities around her. The spirited energy of the DJ community that breathes new life into her pop classics to this day and the passionate online community yearning for her return, spurred by her collaborations with Dom Dolla and Tove Lo and SG Lewis, have both played a crucial role in Furtado's renewed artistic journey.

Amidst the viral resurgence of her 2019 track "Bags" on TikTok, indie sensation Clairo unveils her eagerly anticipated third studio album, Charm. Co-produced with GRAMMY-nominated Leon Michels of El Michels Affair, this enchanting project underscores a striking blend of musical artistry and innovation.

"I want afterglowing, and when I call a car / Send me eyes with the knowing that I could pull it off," she sings in "Sexy To Someone," the lead single from the album. Putting introspective lyricism at the forefront of all her projects without sacrificing quality instrumentals, this album is no exception.

In this genre-crossing collaboration, electronic artist Alesso joins forces with country singer Nate Smith on their new single, "I Like It." Though an unexpected blend of styles, the song blends elements from both artists' sounds, seamlessly combining country and dance as they proudly declare, they "like it like that."

With Alesso's electrifying instrumentals perfectly complementing Smith's spirited country vocals, the track captures the essence of summer in a song and is set to make waves throughout the season.

Featured as the official theme song for the upcoming movie "Kingdom IV: Return of the Great General", Japanese rock band One Ok Rock releases "Delusion:All." The upbeat, cinematic track is the band's latest contribution to the "Kingdom" movie soundtrack series, following their 2019 song "Wasted Nights." 

"It's been a while since we wrote 'Wasted Nights' for the first series of 'Kingdom,' and we are very honored to be a part of the movie again," said vocalist Taka in a press statement. "We tried to reflect "the various conflicts going on in the world today and the modern society" in the song, while making it blend into the worldview of 'Kingdom.'"

A love letter to her community and a deep dive into the intricacies of adulthood, Cat Burns presents her debut album, Early Twenties. Accompanying the album is a captivating short film directed by Libby Burke Wilde. The film tells the individual narratives of each character, touching on themes of mental health, relationships, and personal identity, mirroring the album's essence. 

With this well-rounded creative project, Burns showcases her full artistic prowess, making these releases a testament to her pioneering creative vision.

Making a triumphant return to music after 12 years, Uncle Kracker breaks down the boundaries between genres once again with his latest album, Coffee & Beer. The 13-track album intertwines country, pop, and rock, offering a musical journey that ranges from high-spirited anthems to laid-back, mellow tracks. 

"I wanted to give my fans a soundtrack to summer and what's better than the balance of first coffee…then beer? Coffee & Beer is going to be a fun one. Cheers," Uncle Kracker said in a press statement.
