Refresh your playlists with these hot new tracks.

Another weekend, another round of new music from some of our favorite singers, songwriters, and rappers.

Black History Month is half over, but ScHoolboy Q gave us a lesson in flexing this week, while Gunna and Tierra Whack took more personal, intimate approaches with introspective new singles. Cultural phenomenon Beyoncé took a hard pivot into country music with her surprise Super Bowl Sunday music drop.

Here’s the creme of the crop in this week’s New Music Friday.

Texas Hold ‘Em - Beyoncé

Queen Bey surprised dropped a duo of country tracks to remind the world who originated the genre, and the result is a two-steppin’ good time. Grab your red solo cups, furs, spurs, and boots for this one.

Ellipses - serpentwithfeet, Orion Sun

Sultry, alt-R&B singer-songwriter serpentwithfeet teams up with Orion Sun for this dreamy track about basking in the love of a partner’s words left unsaid. The track is featured on the singer’s tender new album, GRIP.

Bittersweet - Gunna

Hip hop star Gunna contemplates dying and living on his latest track, “Bittersweet,” admitting his woes about fame and love over a sparse, electric guitar-driven beat.

Yeern 101 - ScHoolboy Q

ScHoolboy Q is letting you know exactly who he is over an effortless flow and a trunk-rattling beat in the rapper’s latest flex track, “Yeern 101.” Is anyone taking notes?

27 Club - Tierra Whack

Tierra Whack might’ve evaded the “27 Club,” but those intrusive thoughts pour out on her newest track. The rap star ponders loss, death, and what to do when “the glass full, but I'm empty.”

Good II Me - VINCINT

VINCINT, a finalist from the singing competition series The Four, delivers an uplifting dance anthem with a thumping bass and his signature powerhouse vocals for those who simply want to forget their worries and groove “to a beat that feels good to me.”
