Kehlani, Lorde & Quarterback Baby shimmer this New Music Friday

Happy New Music Friday!

Another week, another playlist of bangers!

Pride Month isn't over yet (even though it's felt like an eternity) but our favorite LGBTQ+ musicians just keep dropping fresh tunes for us to add to your summer playlists.

Pop star Quarterback Baby dropped my personal favorite song of the week with an electrifying music video with some killer vocals on "cheerleader." Gay-pop icons Betty Who and VINCINT teamed up for their seemingly inevitable collaboration, "Love Me Tonight." Tove Lo and SG Lewis continue their music video anthology in "Let me go OH OH." And Kehlani's explosive new album Crash boasts features from Jill Scott, Young Miko, and Omah Lay.

And we can't forget the remixes. R&B legends Brandy and Monica delivered jaw-dropping vocals on the new remix of Ariana Grande's version of "the boy is mine." And Lorde's surprisingly vulnerable verse of "girl, so confusing" has pushed Charli XCX's brat era into new heights.

It's a great time to be a music lover...

Scroll through for the bops, and be sure to follow our New Music Friday playlist on Spotify!
