New music Friday came in heavy this week, and country fans have a few reasons to pay attention. Eric Church released a reflective new single called“On the Road,”a quiet, thinking-out-loud kind of song about the miles and the trade-offs that come with them. That one fits right alongside the classics in your library.
The week was not just about country, though. Jhené Aiko returned after six years with Westside Whimsy, a twenty-track album featuring Kendrick Lamar and Tyga. Dove Cameron launched her debut album era with“When in Rome,”a love song for her fiancé. Slayyyter, Bleachers, Cage the Elephant, LAGOS and Bonobo all dropped new material too, and there are fresh tracks from Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter worth hunting down.
Billboard is asking fans to vote on their favorite release of the week, which means the friendly arguments have officially started. So we want to hear from you: which new song is going straight into your rotation, and which one are you skipping?
