Week of 08/09 2024

Staying up past midnight on Thursday nights every week has become somewhat of a tradition at this point. In my Spotify wrapped for 2023, they proclaimed me to be a “hunter” with the description that I’m always searching for new music and new favorites.

Real. I am always excited about new music and hearing what direction an artist is going to take with their new project. I think it’s so exciting to follow an artist’s path in gearing up for an album with the frequent drops of stand-alone singles, music videos, and interviews.

In 2024, there have been many jam-packed New Music Fridays with singles from lots of top artists, and the week of August 9, 2024, is one of them. It seemed like many so singers were teasing new releases this week. Artists of all genres and types, from chart toppers to up-and-comers, were out promoting their latest releases. 

Here are some of my picks from this most recent week of new music that should be listened to and potentially added to your music rotation! At the top are my personal favorites from the list 🙂
