The season of love. For this week’s New Music Friday, we’re bringing you some love songs, some sad songs and everything in between.
Starting off, pop queens Ariana Grande and Mariah Carey teamed up for a brand new rendition of “yes, and?” off of Grande’s highly-anticipated upcoming seventh album, Eternal Sunshine, out March 8th via Republic. March cannot come fast enough!!

Grande shared, “there truly are no words that suffice. thank you from the bottom of my heart for this dream come true and for sprinkling your brilliance and magic on my little song. it means more to me than I could ever possibly articulate and I cannot wait for everyone to hear this! I love you eternally.”
Next, mega pop star Dua Lipa is back with a new song. “Training Season” is the second single, trailing “Houdini”, off of her forthcoming third record out sometime later this year. It follows the singer’s 2020 assemblage, Future Nostalgia.

Some of our favorite songstresses have released new music, including Sasha Alex Sloan with “Highlights”. The song follows her 2022 success, I Blame The World, and enlisted the help of Jimmy Robbins known for the likes of Maren Morris, Kelsea Ballerini, Sabrina Carpenter and more.
@sashaalexsloan This is my new song highlights and its out noww i hope you like it 🤍
“Jimmy started playing this guitar riff and I was like, ‘Do you have time to write another one because I really love that.’ Luckily, he did, and ‘Highlights’ poured out,” says Sloan. “This is a song I’ve been trying to write for a long time. Writing it was a cathartic experience and it makes me emotional every time I listen to it.”
