HEELS HAVE EYES 2

Image
HEELS HAVE EYES 2 Album ∙ Hip-Hop/Rap ∙ 2025 Westside Gunn Though Westside Gunn’s attention these days seems largely focused on growing his 4th Rope pro wrestling brand, he can’t seem to stay away from the mic in 2025. With two new releases already under his championship belt, as well as noteworthy collabs with the likes of Doechii and JID, the auspicious arrival of  HEELS HAVE EYES 2  ensures that Griselda’s head honcho stays inextricable from the year’s rap conversation. While the kayfabe-centric series’ initial installment featured no less than WWE’s Ted DiBiase on its cover, this considerably lengthier sequel swaps in Virgil, another iconic in-ring figure whose memorable late-’80s/early ’90s storylines had him either aligned or at odds with the Million Dollar Man. Such choices reflect the world-building his fans have come to expect from him, and returning producers like Conductor Williams and Denny Laflare on deck reinforce the lineage this project plays in his wider disco...

Lonely At The Top

Image
Lonely At The Top Album ∙ Hip-Hop/Rap ∙ 2025 Joey Bada$$ False narratives about the so-called decline or demise of New York rap have cropped up so often over the past two decades that, to one of the city’s hip-hop natives, it can feel downright conspiratorial. So it couldn’t have come as much of a surprise that someone like Joey Bada$$ would eventually step up to address the current iteration of this tiresome talking point. After all, the Pro Era figure made his name by both reveling in and refurbishing the hometown sounds of the golden age, building with his crew while seeing his own star rise. “This thing is a competitive art form,” he tells Apple Music. “For people who’s really passionate about this and passionate about moving that pen, we understand that.” His 2025 opening move “The Ruler’s Back” and its subsequent rap ripostes “Sorry Not Sorry” and “Pardon Me” made his position known and, on some level, put him at perceived odds with certain Los Angeles denizens. “I believe I’m at...

KIARI:OFFSET (The Visual Album)

KIARI:OFFSET (The Visual Album) Album ∙ Hip-Hop/Rap ∙ 2025 Offset The past few years have been trying for the former member of Migos, which officially disbanded in 2023 after the tragic death of Takeoff in 2022. But hardship has shaped Offset’s path from the beginning, going back to his incarceration during Migos’ big break in 2013. “With me personally, adversity made me focus,” the 33-year-old rapper tells Apple Music’s Ebro Darden. “I’ve learned to just brush it off.” His debut solo album,  FATHER OF 4 , arrived in 2019, but 2023’s  SET IT OFF  marked Offset’s first venture with Migos in the rearview. On his third solo album, the rapper born Kiari Cephus sets aside his alias to dig a little deeper. “I named my album  KIARI  because it’s like me looking at myself in the mirror—my real life, how far I’ve come and what I’ve done, the good and the bad, the mistakes,” he tells Ebro. After seven years of marriage, Offset’s ex-wife, Cardi B, filed for divorce in Augu...

Don't Mind If I Do (Deluxe)

Image
Don't Mind If I Do (Deluxe) Album ∙ Country ∙ 2025 Riley Green Riley Green’s third album opens with some sage advice. On “That’s a Mistake,” a warm and tender track with ’90s Tim McGraw vibes, Green runs through a laundry list of minor miscalculations—forgetting to get an oil change, perpetually running late—before revealing the kind of misstep that leaves a lasting impression: a romantic one. It’s an understated opening to Green’s boldest release yet, one that finds the Alabama-born star pushing himself as both a songwriter and a vocalist. Standout tracks on the record, which follows 2023’s  Ain’t My Last Rodeo , include “Turnin’ Dirt,” a laidback ode to blue-collar life, and “Don’t Mind If I Do,” an emotional duet with country singer-songwriter Ella Langley. The record wraps with the hit song “Worst Way,” a soulful solo write that shows off Green’s sultry side. Green wrote four of the album’s 18 tracks by himself, telling Apple Music that he’s unlocked a new level of artistry sin...

Essex Honey

Image
Essex Honey Album ∙ Alternative ∙ 2025 Blood Orange In the seven years since Dev Hynes last released an album as Blood Orange, the English musician wasn’t exactly twiddling his thumbs. After 2018’s searching  Negro Swan , the scene veteran released a mixtape ( Angel’s Pulse ) and an EP ( Four Songs ), composed soundtracks for film and TV, and hopped on records with Lorde, Turnstile, and Vampire Weekend. All the while, he contemplated the future of Blood Orange. “I’m always making music,” Hynes tells Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. But before he could release it, he had to answer his own questions: “Why should it exist? What’s the point?” Then Hynes’ mother died in 2023, and the direction for the fifth Blood Orange album,  Essex Honey , became clear. Set in the county outside London that Hynes once called home, it’s a sublime examination of what “home” even means, refracted in the prism of his elegant hybrid of hazy pop, feather-light funk, and ghosts of post-punk and New Wave. Echoes...

Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party

Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party Album ∙ Alternative ∙ 2025 Hayley Williams As the frontwoman for pop-punk heroes Paramore, Hayley Williams has spent her entire professional life in the major-label system, having first signed to Atlantic Records in 2003 when she was just 15. But following the worldwide arena tour for Paramore’s 2023 album,  This Is Why , the contract expired, and she returned to her concurrent solo career as a fully independent artist for the first time, completely unburdened by the weight of commercial expectations—and from any conventional notions of what even constitutes a proper album. In August 2025, she dropped a whopping 17 new tracks online at random, inviting fans to create their own playlist permutations. “I really did want to shirk the responsibility,” she told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe at the time. “I was kind of interested in other people’s perspective, also, because there’s just a point where you’re in the eye of that storm, you’re making things, you’r...

Man’s Best Friend

Image
Man’s Best Friend Album ∙ Pop ∙ 2025 Sabrina Carpenter Sabrina Carpenter spent the decade after her debut single, 2014’s “Can’t Blame a Girl for Trying,” patiently finding her voice. Her persistence finally paid off in 2024, when the absurdly catchy singles “Espresso” and “Please, Please, Please” launched the former Disney Channel child star into a whole new realm of pop stardom. Her sixth album, August 2024’s  Short n’ Sweet , reintroduced the pint-sized singer as a sharp-witted diva with a honeyed voice and a fondness for campy innuendo—and earned Carpenter her first two Grammys (Best Pop Vocal Album, Best Pop Solo Performance). Just over a year after  Short n’ Sweet ’s release, the biggest breakout pop star of 2024 fires off its follow-up,  Man’s Best Friend , which carries on her streak of concise 12-track records that draw from her love of ’70s disco and ooze snarky, self-deprecating charisma. “Oh, boy,” Carpenter chuckles to begin lead single “Manchild,” which taps ...
