Skip to main content Courtesy of Columbia Records Trending on Billboard As nominations for the 2026 Grammys pour in, so are new music releases from artists who just might earn Recording Academy recognition for it next year — including Rosalía, Katy Perry, Kehlani and more. Friday Music Guide: New Music From Rosalía, Kehlani, Katy Perry & More How Rosalía Crafted Her Wildly Ambitious Album While Filming ‘Euphoria’: ‘For Some Reason, I Didn’t Completely Go Crazy’ Hilary Duff Has ‘Mature’ Conversation With Her Past Self on Comeback Single: Stream It Now The buzziest release of the week might just be Lux, the long-awaited followup to 2022’s Motomami. The sprawling, experimental project finds Rosalía exploring her musical prowess more deeply than ever before while speaking 13 different languages across the set. “It was a big challenge, but it was worth it,” she told Billboard in her November cover story of pushing herself to the limit on the project. “It made me grow so much. And I feel like every word on this album, I fought for it, I really wanted it, and then I waited for it, and then it came.” Also out this week are new singles by Perry — “Bandaids,” a mature ballad about moving on after the end of a longterm breakup, which the pop star experienced with now former partner Orlando Bloom earlier this year — and Kehlani, who unleashed an ode to taking accountability titled “Out the Window.” Plus, Hilary Duff released her first proper single in nearly a decade, “Mature,” while Gorillaz teamed up with Idles for the reggae-tinged “The God of Lying.” Rosalía also wasn’t the only star who returned with a new album, as Danny Brown also finally dropped Stardust, two years after Quaranta. But as the Recording Academy honors numerous musicians with nods for next year’s Grammys, Billboard wants to know which artist to whom you’d give the award for best new release of the week.
