I present you with a healthy mix of hype anthems and heavy, emo tracks this Tunesday, courtesy of Halle, Daniel Caesar and — yes, I can’t believe it either — The Neighbourhood. Plug in and listen up to what you might have missed out on this weekend.

We’re keeping it emo for this week’s Tunesday, with new hits from 5 Seconds of Summer, King Princess and Tame Impala. If you haven’t listened yet, and even if you have, tune in to learn more about the lore behind these weekend bangers.

In this week’s Tunesday, I dive into the best song on “The Life of a Showgirl” and highlight other musical gems hidden in the shadow of Swift’s Friday release. Read up to expand your playlist with some of this weekend’s hit tracks and singles.

Taylor Swift’s twelfth album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” drops at midnight — here’s what we know about it now.

Doja Cat has always been a shapeshifter, but “Vie” marks almost a full metamorphosis.

Several pop icons such as Doja Cat, Cardi B and Zara Larsson had big releases this weekend, and I’m here to discuss some of the hits off these new releases — plus a release from an up-and-coming indie rock group. Tune in to get some fresh new bangers to add to your playlist.

Aug. 15 brought with it one of the best breakup albums heard yet this year, pop sensation Conan Gray’s “Wishbone.” If you haven’t done so yet, pop in those headphones and buckle up for an emotional rollercoaster of an album about heartbreak, bitterness and overcoming.

What does a cardboard cutout of Queen Elizabeth, lemons and Kanye West have in common? The answer lies in four roommates who decided to write an album inspired by their college experience as individuals and living together.

Tate McRae has undoubtedly made waves in the pop music scene with her incredible stage presence and fun, flirty lyrics. But does her newest album, “So Close To What,” which dropped Monday, solidify her among the pop icons of her generation?

It’s upon us: the last Tunesday of the semester … and the year! Before we say goodbye and indulge in holiday festivities, here are some bops a bit off the beaten trail to explore as finals wrap up and as you journey home for the break.

The album is appealing to listen to because Strait effectively uses nostalgia in two ways: by reminiscing various parts of life, and incorporating stereotypical country tropes and characteristics to his sound.

Rhett is well known for his ability to combine traditional country music with pop, providing a modern mix that is refreshing to hear. However, Rhett took this album a step further with songs that could be classified under all sorts of genres including old country, new country, rock, pop and more.

‘New’ has been a theme for many of us students this week. New classes, schedules and friends— why not throw some new songs into the mix? I hope you enjoy these trending tunes as much as I did.

If you’re searching for the ultimate finals week playlist, look no further. Here is some of the best new music to get you motivated and provide some much-needed moral support during the final stretch.

With this album, Taylor Swift sells her own misery. Without divulging the secret torture of her relationships with Matty Healy and Joe Alwyn and teasing the cute, triumphant moments with Travis Kelce (“The Alchemy”), this album wouldn’t sell as much as it has. The lore of Taylor Swift — who she dates, why they break up — keeps the machine running, not the music itself.

The first weekend of Coachella has come and gone, and even though it’s over, there’s still one more weekend to look forward to — and tons of new music that made its debut at the biggest festival of the year.

With just a few days until Easter break, here are some new tunes for your road trip home and your long weekend of relaxation from classes.

Justin Timberlake is sounding old. Although his looks have held up, his somewhat original thought has not. Every song on his new album, “Everything I Thought I Was,” seems a rip-off of his younger competitors.

This week, there’s new music from country queens and indie icons.

Some claim “2093” is Yeat’s breakthrough album, comparing it to Kanye’s “Yeezus” or Uzi’s “Lil Uzi Vert vs. The World.” However, others think it’s the worst album of the year. So, is it an Astroworld or an Astroflop?

Unlike Declan McKenna’s first album, which highlighted world and personal problems, “What Happened to the Beach?” brings a new era of happiness to the alternative world in the third album from the British alt-pop star.

In 1933, Florence Price became the first Black female composer to have a symphony performed by a major American orchestra. Almost a century later, Dr. Michael Clark, a lecturer of piano at Baylor, is preparing to release his rendition entitled “Waltzes & Character Pieces of Florence Price.”

The album has more Easter eggs than Taylor Swift’s Instagram and tells an essential story of the political nature of our country. Even if you disagree with the lyrics, the music is exceptionally well done.

Providing bluesy roots and undeniable talent, country king Chris Stapleton is back with 14 tracks that wind through tumultuous love and dark addiction in his newest album, “Higher.”

Overall, “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess” is a daring display of womanhood and misfit musicality. It’s not your mother’s synth-pop album, but it’s a more than worthy soundtrack for crying, dancing and recklessly cutting bangs at 2 a.m.

My favorite track, “NFU” has that grand, operatic feel that marks the best of indie pop. Nostalgic and sweeping, it feels like cold air and hands buried deep in a puffer jacket. It sounds like a city at night, and it crushes your heart like a long-lost love.

There’s a ton of new music this week from old favorites, classic rock legends and up-and-coming stars. Here’s the best of the fresh releases, all in one place.

Following Olivia Rodrigo’s newly released sophomore album “Guts,” I thought it would be fitting to go into a few of the reasons why her music, on occasion, misses the mark.

At the end of the day, Rodrigo is a very young artist. At 20 years old, she has catapulted herself into the spotlight and made it look effortless. It may just be the workings of the Disney machine behind all of this success, but here’s to hoping that Rodrigo’s third album, whenever we may hear it, taps into something wholly her own. I’d like to see her go for something fresh and unique — and hopefully happier.

Zach Bryan’s new self-titled album is not for the weak. The 16-track country-rock album features heart-wrenching songs made to question every life choice you’ve ever made.
