Music is a constantly evolving industry. Music lovers are constantly able to enjoy new songs, exciting collaborations and experimental transmissions. In the last few weeks, many vocalists have released much-anticipated music to their fans. Billie Eilish is one of them, as are Silk Sonic, Lizzo and others. We know how important it is to stay up-to-date with the latest releases. So we’ve delved into the most recent contributions of these talented musicians.
Billie Eilish is a Grammy Award-winning artist who is known for her emotional and whispery vocals. She released the long-awaited ‘Happier than Ever’ album on July 30, 2020. Eilish’s moody, introspective style is showcased on the album, which combines soul-searching lyrics with delicate, sophisticated production. The album ‘Happier than Ever’ is a departure from her debut’s downtempo electropop. It incorporates elements of jazz and rock, creating a retro, lo-fi feel. The album features a number of standout tracks, including ‘Your Power,’ ‘Lost Cause,’ and the title song, which is perhaps the best example of the overall mood and sound. The track ‘Everybody Dies,’ which is also a stunningly beautiful one, deserves recognition for its realism as well as the way it portrays vulnerability.
Silk Sonic, the R&B supergroup that includes Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak, has also delighted their fans with their first singles, “Leave The Door Open” and “Skate”. These songs are the first tasters of their debut album, “An Evening with Silk Sonic”, which will be released later in this year. The singles clearly show the duo’s intention to revive the golden age of soul and jazz music. The slow-burning romantic heart of ‘Leave The Door Open,’ with its lush vocals and smooth harmonies is a throwback to the 70’s. Skate is a breezy and blissful slice of disco funk, which creates a summery feel. The song’s exuberant, infectious energy will inspire spontaneous dance parties anywhere it is played.
Lizzo has also released her first single for two years on August 13th, 2021, “Rumors” featuring Cardi B. The song ‘Rumors,’ is a playful and fun response to the unfair criticism and unrealistic expectations often placed on female artists. The album is made irresistible by the infectious beats of the song and Lizzo’s confident, powerful vocals. Cardi B’s verse also adds humor and wit to the track, making it a confident, catchy comeback. The song is a celebration of Lizzo’s success and a defiant reply to critics, showing the strength and resilience they have shown throughout their career.
A number of vocalists have released new music in the past few months. The Kid LAROI is a rising hip-hop star who released his debut mixtape ‘F*CK Love 3: OVER You’ on July 23, while Olivia Rodrigo has made a splash with her debut studio album “Sour” on May 21, 2020. We can expect to see even more new music in the months remaining of 2021.
Music is a dynamic, exciting world. Billie Eilish’s soulful music, Silk Sonic’s empowering anthems, or Lizzo’s empowering anthems, there is always new music to cater to different listener tastes. Music lovers can expand their musical horizons by staying up to date with the latest releases. They will also be able appreciate the creativity and talent that their favorite artists have to offer.
