Albums of the week: Imagine Dragons, Shinedown, and Paolo Nutini
- Imagine Dragons – Mercury — Act 2
On Friday, Imagine Dragons will drop their sixth studio album titled Mercury – Act 2. The full-length record serves as a follow-up to their 2021 release Mercury – Act 1. The 18-track album will feature the previously released song Bones.
- Paolo Nutini – Last Night In The Bittersweet
Also due Friday is Paolo Nutini's forthcoming record Last Night In The Bittersweet. If his name sounds familiar to millennials, that's probably because his song New Shoes took over the airwaves back in 2006, and we're still not mad about it.
- Shinedown – Planet Zero
Then there's Shinedown, who is set to drop their seventh studio album Planet Zero on Friday. The album's release date was originally set for April 22, but the band had to push it back due to a delay in CD and vinyl production.
The album will include the record's previously released title track, Planet Zero.
Singles of the week: Cardi B, Bazzi, and j-hope
Aside from album drops are three notable singles, with the first being one by Cardi B. On Friday, the rapper will drop her new single Hot S**t, which has both Lil Durk and Ye West on the track.
On the same day, Bazzi is set to release a new single off his sophomore album. The song is titled Miss America.
Additionally, j-hope of BTS fame is expected to drop a solo track called MORE on Friday, too.
