Friday Music Guide: New Music From Ariana Grande & Mariah Carey, Vampire Weekend, Dua Lipa and More
This week's new music includes Ariana Grande, Mariah Carey, Vampire Weekend, Dua Lipa and more.
In the hours since the release of Vampire Weekend’s first new music in nearly half a decade, a general consensus seems to have congealed around twin singles “Capricorn” and “Gen-X Cops” online: if you didn’t like the band’s last album, 2019’s Father of the Bride, you’re probably going to like these songs. Dua Lipa is ready to move on to the romantic regular season on her new disco-pop track, which harnesses the energy and attitude of previous single “Houdini” and adds a self-exploratory element to the dumb-guys kiss-off. Musically, “Training Season” features Lipa’s strongest instincts — fans of “Physical,” the laser-focused workout from Future Nostalgia, should wrap their arms around this one — but also showcases her personal evolution, singing as a former teen star who has grown into adulthood and knows precisely what she wants.
