Miley, Carly Rae Jepsen, Riley Green Lead New Music Friday

Miley has released her debut album for Atlantic Records, 'Bass Persuades,' marking a new chapter under her mononymous name. Pop star Carly Rae Jepsen shares her anticipated double album 'Day and Night,' while country artist Riley Green's fourth album, 'That's Just Me,' is also out today, according to Billboard's weekly guide.

Miley's New Era and Love Songs

Ahead of her tenth studio album, the artist formerly known as Miley Cyrus signed a new deal with Atlantic and has dropped the 'Cyrus' from her stage name. The album's lead single and title track is described as a full-on dance-pop banger. In contrast, the second single, 'Let's Get Married,' slows the tempo as she adoringly sings about wanting to wed her fiancé, Maxx Morando. The rest of the ten-track album, which includes a 'Bass Persuades Remix,' fluctuates between these two moods. Billboard contributor Lyndsey Havens writes that the set is largely united by the idea that Miley is 'in love and looking forward to all that is yet to come.'

Major Pop and Country Releases

Carly Rae Jepsen's eighth studio album, 'Day and Night,' is a two-disc project. One disc features 'daytime' songs exploring varied tempos and spotlighting songwriting, while the second is filled with sundown dance-pop productions. The 24 songs together form a sonic journey roughly an hour and a half long.

Riley Green's new album, 'That's Just Me,' is his fourth full-length release. Green focuses on cementing his reputation for 'timeless-feeling country songs' in the tradition of artists like Alan Jackson and Toby Keith. The album explores themes of heartbreak and the ensuing freedom. It follows his previous album, 'Don't Mind If I Do,' which entered the top 10 on the Top Country Albums chart last year.

Notable Singles and Expanded Editions

BLACKPINK member Rosé has released the pop-rock track 'New Trick.' The song features grungy, high-energy production and a scream-along chorus, with verses showcasing syrupy sweet vocals. Rosé co-wrote the track with Amy Allen just days after this year's Met Gala in May. A statement confirms this is not the official comeback single for her upcoming second album, which is slated for next year.

Kim Petras has released a deluxe version of her third album, 'Detour,' titled 'Detour (Rare N' Deluxe).' Led by the focus track 'Autobahn,' the expansion adds four new songs. Billboard describes 'Autobahn' as the most downtempo of the new additions, offering a refreshing peek into a lesser-shown artistic side from Petras.

Emerging Artists and Soundtrack Cuts

Rising pop star Freya Skye's latest single is 'bad taste,' an ode to having poor taste in partners and owning it. She told Billboard the song marks a shift to a more playful and sarcastic tone, which she hopes will get fans excited for her next musical phase.

AZ Chike has unveiled his debut solo studio album, 'No Rest for the Wicked.' The South Central LA rapper, who featured on Kendrick Lamar's 'Peekaboo' two years ago, helmed a creative team that included Lamar, Pharrell, and Tyler, the Creator. The album is described as a mature, clear-eyed introduction to an MC with West Coast-honoring style.

Travis Scott has released 'RHYNO,' one of the first six singles from the forthcoming 'Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album' soundtrack. The track fuses Scott's trap foundation with the cinematic electronic soundscape of Daft Punk's Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, who collaborated on the production.
