New Music Friday: Drake, Offset & Jack Harlow Drop Heat Just in Time for Valentine’s Day Drama
Valentine’s Day comes bearing musical gifts this New Music Friday, but not everyone is feeling the love. Whether you’re celebrating romance, healing from heartbreak, or embracing single life, this week’s releases offer a mix of sultry R&B, emotional anthems, and even a few lyrical jabs.
At the top of the pile is Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR’s $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, a 21-track album designed for late-night vibes and intimate moments. Meanwhile, Westside Gunn keeps his prolific streak going with 12, the latest chapter in his Hitler Wears Hermes series, packed with grimy Griselda bars. For those nursing a broken heart, Coi Leray’s What Happened to Forever? explores love and loss, seemingly inspired by her personal relationship drama.
Offset, however, isn’t reminiscing about romance—he’s firing shots. His new single “Ten” appears to take aim at his estranged wife Cardi B, suggesting she needs ten men to get over him. Jack Harlow offers his own anti-Valentine’s anthem with “Set You Free,” an ode to choosing freedom over love. Meanwhile, Young M.A and Yung Bleu mourn lost love on “Coulda Been Love,” a collaboration with Druski.
For those looking for something more passionate, DaBaby and Yung Miami team up on the flirtatious “Ima Hoe Too,” while UK stars AJ Tracey and Jorja Smith channel old-school garage romance on “Crush.” Gucci Mane flexes his player mentality on “Preference,” making it clear he has no particular type, and Daniel Caesar delivers heartfelt love songs alongside Rex Orange County.
Rounding out the week’s releases, Cash Cobain, Young Nudy, and Wiz Khalifa drop new heat, while Macklemore and Logic deliver politically charged protest tracks. Whether you’re in love, heartbroken, or just vibing, this New Music Friday has something for everyone.
