It’s Friday, and with the end of the week comes a fresh batch of new releases from our favorite artists.

Usher and Brittany Howard, two critically acclaimed musicians, released brand new albums this Friday, fresh bodies of work for fans to bite into. Meanwhile, T-Pain stripped off the autotune for a gospel track and Latto took aim at her hip-hop peers in their new singles. 

Spanning across R&B, hip-hop, alternative, and indie, take a look at a few of our picks for the best new music of the week.

In his breezy, guitar-driven new single, 18-year-old alternative artist d4vd gets nostalgic for a past lover.
