The Secret of Us (Deluxe) Album ∙ Pop ∙ 2024 Gracie Abrams Gracie Abrams may be fresh off her teenage years, but she’s old enough to know risk and reward belong together. That’s part of why she’s done leading with fear on her stripped-down new record The Secret of Us . She tells Apple Music: “This album is kind of like the inner tornado, I guess, when you’re trying to present a way and then it just doesn’t actually really ultimately work.” Since Abrams began releasing music in 2019, the singer-songwriter has homed in on emotional leaps of faith, her tremulous vocals expertly evoking the tear-splattered diary scribbles a great young love inspires. On The Secret of Us , she takes stock of every crush and contradiction that led her to this chapter, reflecting the glow of formative past romances through soft prisms of pop, folk, and indie rock. The through line between these different shades of Gracie’s warm style, of course, is the kind of intimate writing she developed in a private j

Tension II

Tension II Album ∙ Pop ∙ 2024 Kylie Minogue It’s not hard to see why Kylie Minogue wanted to keep the Tension era going. The Princess of Pop’s 2023 record—her 16th—met the moment and set the mood, captured best by “Padam Padam,” the unexpectedly viral hit that ruled over summer ’23 in what will always be known as the “Padamic.” Released just over a year on from that record, this sequel is a celebration of that career high—and a collection that feels primed to get the party started again ahead of 2025’s global Tension tour. Tension II lives in the same world as its predecessor, but here, things feel darker, clubbier, later-night. And as for all the original’s sexual tension? It still hasn’t been broken. Across these tracks, Kylie’s overpowered by “electric energy” (on the disco-laced, ABBA-recalling “Taboo”) and “raw emotion” (“Kiss Bang Bang”); by 4am, she’s even standing outside someone’s door on the rushing “Hello,” unable to stay away. If on Tension Kylie felt ultr

SEVENTEEN 12th Mini Album 'SPILL THE FEELS' - EP

SEVENTEEN 12th Mini Album 'SPILL THE FEELS' - EP Album ∙ K-Pop ∙ 2024 SEVENTEEN A month after their headlining performance at Lollapalooza Berlin and aligned with the launch of their fourth world tour, K-pop group SEVENTEEN released SPILL THE FEELS . The six-track mini album is the 12th for SEVENTEEN, who debuted with “Adore U” in 2015, and marks a transitional period for the 13-member squad. SPILL THE FEELS is the final release before most of the members will begin taking turns completing mandatory military service. Subdued and groovy, lead single “LOVE, MONEY, FAME” brings in American producer DJ Khaled for a track about an enduring affection, perhaps towards SEVENTEEN’s fans, known as CARATs. The theme of love continues with the house track “Eyes on you,” a collaboration with British DJ and producer Shift K3Y that sings about a “heart rate that matches the same BPM.” “1 TO 13” is the final all-member track on the album. Self-referential and upbeat, the track calls back

GOLD

GOLD Album ∙ K-Pop ∙ 2024 ITZY After almost a year of touring and recording without vocalist Lia, K-pop girl group ITZY was restored to a quintet in GOLD . The 11-track album bridges the time before Lia’s medically necessitated hiatus and after. The first half of GOLD offers six new tracks, including double lead singles “GOLD” and “Imaginary Friend,” while the final five songs—“BORN TO BE,” “UNTOUCHABLE,” “Mr. Vampire,” “Dynamite,” and “Escalator”—are rerecordings of songs released without Lia on ITZY’s January 2024 EP BORN TO BE . This time, they include all five members, and are identified as “final versions.” GOLD ’s new tracks are a return to performance powerhouse form for ITZY. JYP Entertainment tapped two high-profile hitmakers, Ryan S. Jhun and Dem Jointz, for “GOLD,” the high-energy title track that opens the album, promising in a synchronized member chant that “day and night we beaming, blazing just like that.” Second lead single “Imaginary Friend” is more straightfor
