Friday Music Guide: New Music From Megan Thee Stallion, Camila Cabello, LISA and More

This week's new music guide includes Megan Thee Stallion, Camila Cabello, LISA and more.

Part of the reason why BLACKPINK has been able to shatter records and perform to huge audiences around the world is due to their futuristic approach to pop, incorporating rapping, electronics and club music into their major hooks; “Rockstar,” LISA’s new solo single, similarly looks ahead while presenting a fast-moving pack of melodies and attitude. Imagine Dragons have mastered this shape-shifting approach, and sixth album Loom once again defies expectations for how a popular rock group should function: “Kid” is zonked-out funk-pop in the vein of “Feel Good Inc.,” lead single “Eyes Closed” appears as both a dubstep-wobble anthem and with a J Balvin remix, and “Wake Up” sounds primed to inspire awkward shuffling across arena floors. Sophomore LP God Said No allows Apollo to reflect upon a whirlwind few years, examine his struggles his anxiety and depression, share stories of heartbreak, and above all, provide fans with a new collection of powerfully rendered, expertly sung rhythmic pop tracks, many of which will startle and delight upon first listen.
