Diadeloso is here! Whether you’re hanging out by the pool or watching the eclipse with friends, here are some picks for your playlist.

If you’ve been to a wedding at any point in the last decade, you’ve probably also developed an allergy to Bruno Mars and Ed Sheeran. Even though those top-40 pop hits are sure to get your aunt and uncle on the dance floor, nobody wants to see them try (and fail) to do dances that haven’t been popular since you were in middle school. Here’s what to play instead, slow songs included.

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.

Aside from the tension between fact and fiction, chaos and harmony, “eternal sunshine” is a sonically cohesive album — and yet, it is without any songs that sound the same at all, beating out some contemporaries who can’t make the distinction between cohesion and carbon copying.

In case you weren’t paying attention, pop music is having a moment right now. This is a big two months for the genre, as pop princess Ariana Grande released her seventh album, and other massive names like Beyoncé and Taylor Swift are set to release new music this spring. For now, let’s take a look at the best new releases of the past week.

Here’s your spring break playlist for that long car ride to the beach or your nap on an airplane.

This is the week of pop and indie releases, so put on your Dr. Martens and embrace the comeback of the Tumblr era of music.

There’s a shocking amount of new music this week. From surprise Super Bowl drops to long-awaited albums, let’s get into the notable of the week.

If you could take a time machine to 1985, you would hear people praise the ’50s for its nostalgic sound, organic vocals and generally clean lyrics. It’s easy to fall into the trap of looking at music in such a retrospective way, but the truth of the matter is that music is constantly evolving, and many criticisms of modern music are just pretentious and border on prejudice.

Pop music takes the crown this week, with new releases showcasing originality, catchiness and flair.

The indie music world was busy this week. There’s new music from festival favorites like Declan McKenna and Noah Kahan as well as alternative pop kings Bleachers.

Music lovers’ favorite holiday, Spotify Wrapped, has finally come. If you are embarrassed by your top artist being AJR or your top song being Minecraft noises, make yourself feel better and find out who some of the Lariat staff listened to this year.

It’s here. Finals week — the week we’ve all been dreading and a hopeful sign that the semester will soon be over. While this week is sure to be filled with frantic studying and caffeine-induced panic attacks in Moody Memorial Library, music is the one thing that everyone on campus will be using for motivation and stress release. Here are some top new tracks for every finals mood.

We’re in the homestretch this week. On Friday and Saturday, thousands of students will be taking a bus, a train or an airplane to head home for Thanksgiving break. Of course, nothing says travel like creating a playlist to get you through the trip.

For years, self-proclaimed “music enthusiasts” have turned up their noses at the genre of pop. Some argue it’s too obtainable, not authentic or just plain dull, but what if all those claims were surface-level assumptions?

Everyone wants their music everywhere, and the easiest way for people to get their music everywhere is to make it popular on the radio. The more radio plays, the more hits … simple enough, right? However, this reach for the spotlight comes with a price: sacrificing storytelling for catchiness.

There’s no in-between with the new music this week. These fresh releases swing between mellow and downright depressing to high-energy and stomping. There’s a decent amount of new tunes to listen to this week, so let’s get into the best from hyper-pop princesses and classic rock legends.

Troye Sivan is reviving the dance music genre one song at a time. His new album, “Something To Give Each Other” is a short and sweet 30 minutes of perfect pop music, complete with “Get Me Started,” the only song to ever sample from Bag Radiers’ “Shooting Stars.”

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.

There’s no better place to debate whether something challenges Christianity than the world’s largest Baptist university.
