This week brought a wave of pleasant surprises for music lovers. Some artists made long-awaited comebacks, while emerging stars proved they’re here to stay with bold new releases. From Canadian pop icon Justin Bieber and global K-pop sensation BLACKPINK to South African rising star Tyla, artists across genres delivered the fresh music fans had been eagerly anticipating. Here’s a look at all the major highlights in the world of music this week.
Justin Bieber
Following a four-year hiatus, Justin Bieber returned with a new album titled Swag. He releases his seventh studio album on July 11, after announcing it just hours ago. His new record consists of 21 tracks and features collaborations with multiple artists, including Gunna, Dijon, Lil B, Cash Cobain, Sexyy Red and Eddie Benjamin, among others. This time, Justin deviated from his usual big pop hits and opted for softer, emotional tones.
Clipse
The American hip-hop duo, brothers No Malice and Pusha T, made their comeback after 15 years. They released their fourth studio album, Let God Sort Em Out, on July 11. In the first two songs, they rap about personal loss and throw sharp lyrics at their foes. The album features guest artists like John Legend, Kendrick Lamar, Nas, Stove God Cooks, Tyler, and others.
BLACKPINK
The digital single JUMP marked the return of the K-pop queens following a break of nearly three years. The fast beats and powerful energy of the song have resonated with the fans, and it is indeed unlike anything they have worked on before. BLACKPINK debuted their new single in the South Korean leg of their Deadline World Tour before releasing it officially with a music video.
Deftones
After a five-year break, Deftones released their new single My Mind Is a Mountain. They last dropped their studio album Ohms in 2020. The latest track is the pre-release single for their tenth album, Private Music, which is scheduled to be released in August.
GIVEON
The R&B singer GIVEON released his second studio album, Beloved, after his first, titled Give or Take, in 2022. This came after he secured a position in the Billboard Hot 100 chart with Are You Even Real, a collab with Teddy Swims, and his own solo Twenties. His new album takes inspiration from old-school soul music of the 1970s.
Tyla
The rising pop star, Tyla, made a return to the music scene this week with a new single Is It. Keeping up with her signature style, the new song is cool and perfect for dancing.
