Last month, Jason Isbell announced Foxes In The Snow, his first solo album since 2015’s Something More Than Free, as he’s been mostly making material with his band The 400 Unit in recent years. His approach is the exact opposite this time and much simpler, though: A press release notes Isbell recorded the album on the same “all-mahogany 1940 Martin 0-17 acoustic guitar” and over the course of just five days.

The project is set for March 7, but ahead of them, he has unveiled the album’s title track. It’s instrumentally sparse, of course, with just guitar and vocals. But, Isbell’s songwriting and voice make the song feel full.

He sings on the track’s opening verse, “I love my love / I love her mouth / I love the way she turns the lights off in her house / And I love my love / And her velvet bed / Where she’s heard me sing the words that can’t be said / And all the dreams that die unseen / All the Diphenhydramine / It took to put my soul to sleep / Now it’s easy.”

Meanwhile, Isbell previously announced tour dates and his US solo tour kicks off tomorrow, February 14.

After releasing two albums — – (Subtract) and Autumn Variations — in 2023, Ed Sheeran mostly laid low in 2024 (aside from, you know, a giant concert tour). But, in terms of new music, it looks like he may be more active this year. In fact, he has seemingly indicated what his next album will be titled.

A social media post shared by Memezar (as Pubity notes) noted that Sheeran recently changed his profile picture and asked, “What math is he gonna do next?” Sheeran himself commented on the post, “Irony is if you ask me anything maths related I would fail the question, I never finished high school. Play coming soon though,” apparently confirming the album will be called Play.

Sheeran previously hinted at the title being Play: In a social media post shared towards the end of 2023, he wrote, “See you sometime next year when we press Play again on pop, and have a good holiday season.”

Meanwhile, Sheeran was recently performing on the street in India, but police opted to shut him down. He later explained, “We had permission to busk btw, hence us playing in that exact spot, was planned out before, it wasn’t just us randomly turning up. All good though. See ya at the show tonight x.”

Steven and Ian begin this week by discussing their Valentine’s Day plans and plotting a potential Love Is Blind-cast. Then Steven formally congratulates Ian on the Philadelphia Eagles’ beatdown of the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl, and sort of makes amends for all of his Nick Sirianni slander. From there they break down the Super Bowl Halftime Show, and discuss the polarized reactions to Kendrick Lamar’s performance. In the Fantasy Albums Draft update, they discuss new albums from Bartees Strange and Horsegirl. Finally, they wrap with an overview of the 2025 slate of Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame nominees.

In Recommendation Corner, Ian shouts out the Australian Skeleten and Steven stumps for a benefit EP from Big Thief.

Offset continues to seemingly shade his ex Cardi B through his new music, following December’s boastful “Swing My Way” with a vindictive new single, “Ten.” This time around, Offset insists on his own memorability, predicting that “You gon’ have to f*ck ’bout ten more n****s to get over me.”

He also takes a “sorry, not sorry” stance toward all the rumors of his infidelity, sneering, “It’s a big difference / I was just f*cking the b*tches you was nitpicking / Watching me splurging on b*tches and it hit different / Calling me and asking me questions, mind your business.”

Yeesh.

It certainly sounds like Offset is doing his best to earn Cardi’s ire, which she last unleashed back in October, declaring in a since-deleted string of tweets, “Bro I wish the worst on this man…I never hated somebody so much and these b*tches be so thirsty to have him please take this man off my hands this garbage bag is too heavy!!” Although she deleted the posts, it doesn’t sound like he’s on her list of favorite people.

Meanwhile, Offset’s prediction doesn’t seem like it’ll be coming true anytime soon after Cardi asserted in November, “I’m telling you…the dating pool got piss in it .”

You can listen to Offset’s new single “Ten” above.

It’s no secret that Drake had a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Year in 2024, which has so far seemingly carried over into 2025 as Kendrick Lamar continued to taunt him with his Super Bowl Halftime Show performance and Grammys sweep. However, Drake has words for those trying to throw dirt on his career’s casket, opting to defy the reports of his demise on “Gimme A Hug” from the new joint project with his OVO artist PartyNextDoor, Some Sexy Songs 4 U.

“You Neo in The Matrix, these n****s just Nemo in the ocean / Small fish, making kids feel emotion / Using you for promotion, true words that never been spoken,” he raps in the first verse, giving himself a bit of a pep talk and contrasting his control over the rap world with other rappers, who he considers lost. He also issues his new policy on feuding with his rap foes: “F*ck all rap beef, I’m trying to get the party lit.” I mean, that was the whole point everybody was trying to make, man, but you got it, I guess.

You can listen to Drake and PartyNextDoor’s “Gimme A Hug” above.

Halle Bailey is back with a new single about the ups and downs of love for Valentine’s Day. Her new song is called “Back And Forth,” and finds the recently single singer recounting how a romantic entanglement contradicts itself. Ultimately, she demands a “love that doesn’t hurt,” but can’t help but go “back and forth” with her paramour. Perhaps the song is a not-so-subtle dig at DDG, with whom she recently split despite sharing a son, Halo.

Since becoming a mother, Halle has progressed her solo music career in fits and starts, dropping the singles “In Your Hands” and “Because I Love You” five months apart. Given “Back And Forth” took another five months or so to release, it certainly looks like the singer is taking her time creating her solo debut album — which could only be a good thing.

Of course, there are those fans who’d prefer a reunion of sister act Chloe X Halle, with the Bailey sisters rediscovering their Ungodly Hour chemistry for more than the handful of tracks they’ve recorded together over the past five years. Chlöe has hinted that such a project could be in the works as well, so we’ll see which happens first.

For now, you can listen to “Back And Forth” above.

Earlier this month, Sabrina Carpenter announced her plans for Valentine’s Day included releasing a new deluxe edition of her fan-favorite album, Short N’ Sweet. As promised, the updated version of her breakout album has arrived, along with a revamped, country western version of standout track “Please Please Please” featuring none other than country legend, Dolly Parton. Carpenter previously joked that Parton wouldn’t like her to swear but she couldn’t help herself, sneaking a “holy sh*t” into the announcement tweet. However, true to form, the new “Please Please Please” does remove some dirty language.

Meanwhile, the music video for the song nods to another odd couple, the titular duo of Thelma And Louise. After some opening news clippings set the stage — the two are wanted fugitives suspected of murder — Sabrina and Dolly drive their pickup truck like they stole it to stay ahead of the law. A reveal toward the end shows they’ve also added kidnapping to their list of crimes, but unlike the duo from the film, our two country lasses manage to dodge the cherry tops in hot pursuit.

Speaking of arrests, it turned out that Carpenter’s tour tradition of “arresting” celebrities with fuzzy pink cuffs was actually requested by one of her first “victims”: Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown.

It has been a few months since TikToker turned potential pop star Addison Rae released the first singles from the follow-up to her 2023 debut AR. The most recent one, “Aquamarine,” was an upbeat dance-pop anthem perfectly suited for the dance floors of a French disco. Its follow-up, the more stripped-down “High Fashion,” is more mid-tempo, with Rae comparing attraction to addiction, telling a possible paramour, “I don’t need your drugs / I’d rather get high fashion.” It’s a do-it-yourself declaration of independence that posits self-care is more important than the pursuit of romance.

The music video for the song, directed by Mitch Ryan, was filmed in Louisiana, Addison’s home state, and takes inspiration from the classic film, The Wizard Of Oz.

Rae’s latest foray into producing pulsing pop music picked up last year with some help from Charli XCX. After appearing on Rae’s “2 Die 4” from her first album, Charli returned the favor, giving Rae a spot on the remix of “Von Dutch” from Brat And It’s Completely Different But Also Still Brat.

Rae’s official debut album is “coming soon,” according to a press release, and will feature the singles “Diet Pepsi,” “Aquamarine,” and “High Fashion.” For now, you can watch the video for “High Fashion” above.

In just a few days, English singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Rex Orange County returns to his home country for a run of hometown shows at the London Palladium. But first, he’s got some new songs to share for Valentine’s Day.

The songs, “Rearrange My World” and “There’s A Field (That’s Only Yours),” are duets with Canadian singer-songwriter Daniel Caesar with writing from Blood Orange’s Devonté Hynes and Toronto poet Mustafa. The two stripped-down songs feature low-key instrumentation and introspective, tender lyrics. “Can we walk until I know who I am? I live above a bar I’ve never been. I think
about more than I can spend,” Rex croons on “Rearrange My World.” On “There’s A Field,” the two singers likewise share some romantic lyrics: “I can’t fall with you, but I’ll
fall with you,” they sing. “Right down to this old floor, there’s a field that’s only yours.”

The two new duets are Rex’s first new singles since the release of his 2024 album The Alexander Technique. Meanwhile, Daniel Caesar last released a full-length body of work in 2023, with Never Enough; most recently, he’d covered Bob Marley’s “Waiting In Vain” for the biopic Bob Marley: One Love.

You can listen to Daniel Caesar and Rex Orange County’s new songs “Rearrange My World” and “There’s A Field (That’s Only Yours)” above.
