Friday Music Guide: New Music From J-Hope & GloRilla, Lil Tecca, Gunna and More
This week's new music guide includes J-Hope with GloRilla, Gunna, Lil Tecca and more.
As the BTS members complete their mandated military services and their millions of fans wonder what will come next for the globe-conquering group, j-hope is enjoying a nice little run of solo singles right now: following “Sweet Dreams” with Miguel and “Mona Lisa,” “Killin’ It Girl” takes a time machine back to early 2000’s hip-hop percussion, with j-hope flexing over the beat and GloRilla crashing the party midway through. From Amy Winehouse to Miley Cyrus to Lykke Li, Mark Ronson has always excelled when presenting a magnetic female singer with a rich sonic tapestry, and “Suzanne,” his new single with “Escapism” star RAYE, provides her soaring voice with big-band opulence, creating a throwback soul-pop track that still sounds like it could very well crack pop radio rotations today. After “Hard Fought Hallelujah,” his absorbing team-up with Jelly Roll, cracked the Hot 100 chart, new album King of Hearts has primed the gruff-voiced, deeply passionate singer-songwriter for a much wider audience, with further collaborations on the full-length still allowing his solo spirit to make a lasting impression.
