New Music Friday: Olivia Rodrigo, Tate McRae, Zach Bryan Lead Releases Olivia Rodrigo and Chappell Roan remix Expectations, Tate McRae drops Housewife, Zach Bryan returns with a new EP, and Angèle releases her third album on New Music Friday. This week's New Music Friday features essential releases from Olivia Rodrigo, Tate McRae, Zach Bryan, Angèle, Ashe, Fontaines D.C., and Justice. Olivia Rodrigo taps Chappell Roan for a remix of Expectations, Tate McRae launches her next chapter with Housewife, Zach Bryan returns with a new EP, and Belgian artist Angèle releases her anticipated third album. These tracks are set to dominate playlists this weekend and beyond. Olivia Rodrigo and Chappell Roan Team UpOlivia Rodrigo has enlisted Chappell Roan for a remix of her song Expectations. The remix begins with Chappell's cheeky sarcasm as she says, Olivia does remixes now. The second half of the track is supercharged, packing an even bigger punch than the original thanks to Roan's own verse and her continued presence throughout the rest of the track.Roan takes over on a chorus and seamlessly melds her powerhouse vocals with Rodrigo's. The two match each other well in presence and prowess, making for an exceptionally fun remix that will surely be a standout moment if and when it gets a live debut. Listeners may have to wait a while to see or hear from Chappell again, but the wait is worth it.Tate McRae and Zach Bryan Drop New MusicTate McRae fantasizes a life well lived on her new single Housewife, full of yachts, loads of cash, and precious cars, all of which she sings of and shows off in the song's video. On the chorus over midtempo production, she sings, I just wanna make a lot of money, be my own housewife, you could be the one I'm calling honey, be my sex on the side.The cover art shows Tate pushing a baby carriage full of money, indicating that her focus is on herself and her bag. She doesn't need anyone else to provide, and for now, isn't looking to provide for anyone else. Meanwhile, Zach Bryan continues his collaborative ways on an eight-song EP, partnering with Lana Del Rey on the bittersweet Lies and Turnpike Troubadours on Plainsman.The set comes less than a year after his 25-track opus debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in January, but he has plenty to say. Even though this set clocks in at around just 28 minutes, Bryan tackles a wide range of topics, including technology on Robot Killed the Working Man, as well as stretching musically on such tracks as the thumping Dog Days. The set brims with a verve and freshness, no doubt inspired by Bryan's exhilarating live show.Angèle, Ashe, and Fontaines D.C. Release New ProjectsIn February, Belgian pop star Angèle declared that she was making a claim for world domination with the release of her tough, sexy Justice collab What You Want. Already a huge star in her home country, in 2018 Angèle broke Stromae's record for number of weeks at No. 1 of the Belgian singles charts with her single Tout oublier. She is lesser known outside the country, save for a few moments like her 2020 Dua Lipa collab Fever.Her new album is a convincing play for wider recognition, with Angèle not only singing many of its songs in English, but gathering a group of high-caliber collaborators including SebastiAn and Caroline Polacheck, who worked on the album's excellent single Love Triangle. The music blends pop with electronic in a way that's not only convincing but, crucially in this era of fast-moving music, memorable. Magnifique!Following the viral success of single Stop the Wedding!, which has climbed to a No. 48 peak on the Hot 100, singer-songwriter Ashe is sharing her fourth album. Since breaking out in 2019 with Moral of the Story, Ashe more recently teamed with friend and longtime collaborator FINNEAS in 2025 to form a duo called The Favors. While Wedding featured downtempo, swaying pop piano production and second single Funeral slowed it down even more, isolating Ashe's vocals with just keys for its first half, new focus track Lasso the Moon sounds like a glittering, bouncy fusion of a Sienna Spiro and RAYE song that's right on time.There's a poppy heart within Mimesis, a bright, disarmingly catchy hook that sounds like one you've always known and cherished. Its radiant sound feels indicative of how, since the anthemic Jackie Down the Line stormed out of the gates at the start of the band's 2022 campaign, the Fontaines D.C. aesthetic has continued to embody some intriguing contradictions: balancing melodic immediacy with downplayed vocals and weighty, dark, atmospheric fuzz. Expect this one to go off at the band's first-ever stadium dates next summer.In gaming news, Rockstar Games has just revealed Justice as the game's composers, tasked with crafting an original dynamic score, according to a release.
