Music is one of the unique ways to refresh stress and is often considered a feed to the mind. And a good song selection of your playlist can make it easier to boost energy for the rest of the day. The best 6 songs of J-Hope, Lizzo, ITZY, and More to listen to this week are listed by Tama Sarker, editor of WhatsOn. Remember to add them to your playlist.
1. J-Hope, “Arson”
J-hope, a member of BTS, has finally released Jack in the Box, his long-awaited solo album. The second single from this K-pop singer’s debut solo album, the song “Arson,” is now available. Arson’s lyrics have ignited a fire. This time, J-Hope combined his creativity with flames to play with it, and the ARMY is loving it. In the music video, J-Hope stumbles through a flaming globe, adding a high level of drama to the song. He raps about going through a trial by fire, a voyage through success, wealth, and “thoughtless ambition,” and burning hotter in the wake of it all before igniting himself at the conclusion. On July 15, the eagerly anticipated music video was released, and now the lead vocalist has shared a sneak glimpse of his fun behind-the-scenes on Instagram.
2. Lizzo, “2 Be Loved (Am I Ready)”
Lizzo’s song “2 be Loved (Am I Ready)” has lyrics that are both meaningful and instructive. Savan Kotecha, Peter Svensson, Max Martin, ILYA, and Lizzo wrote the lyrics to the song “Latest 2 Be Loved (Am I Ready),” which was produced by ILYA and Max Martin. Lizzo, who is still basking in the glory of her enduring TikTok smash “About Damn Time,” is back this week with the innovative but no less catchy track “2 Be Loved.”The release day for the music video was July 15, 2022.
3. Sabrina Carpenter, “emails I can’t send”
Sabrina Carpenter has returned after months of suspense, and she is giving fans a glimpse of who she is with her new album. Speaking to PEOPLE at the Samsung Summer of Galaxy concert on Saturday at NeueHouse in Los Angeles about the release of her most recent album, and the song Emails I Can’t Send, Carpenter reveals why she believes this record, in particular, will always hold a special place in her heart. The 13-track album, Emails I Can’t Send, was released on Friday and comes after Carpenter’s Singular Act II from 2019. The first single, “Skinny Dipping,” was published in September. She then followed it up with the fan favorites “Fast Times” and “Vicious.”
4. ITZY, “Domino”
The song ITZY trending on YouTube and has laced up their sneakers and is aiming for the pop throne, but “Domino,” a personal song about the band’s friendship and connection to fans, is my current favorite from their most recent comeback. The song, which seamlessly switches between power-pop and a ballad at key points, touches on themes of community, even in terrible times.
5. Latto, “PUSSY”
With her powerful new hit, “Pussy,” Latto is using her “Big Energy” to attack sexism and gender norms. The rebellious song, which is accompanied by a subversive image of a woman standing in front of the White House with her legs spread out, directly criticizes the various kinds of men — including politicians, violent boyfriends, raging misogynists, and incels — who try to control women’s sexuality and womanhood. The 23-year-old Georgia native is currently promoting “Pussy,” the follow-up to her duet with Saucy Santana on “Booty. Latto’s smash hit “Big Energy” notoriously borrows a verse from Carey’s 1995 number-one song “Fantasy,” which in turn borrows a line from Tom Tom Club’s 1981 song “Genius of Love.”
6. Beabadoobee, “Sunny Day”
Beatopia, Beabadoobee’s follow-up to her critically acclaimed debut Fake It Flowers, is now available. A music video for the upbeat tune “Sunny Day” has also been released together with the debut of this compilation of brand-new tracks. Her most recent single is the upbeat song “Sunny day,” which is ideal for the cool, hot summer days and has a charming, cinematic music video to go with it. Play this on your walk home from a hangout with friends or while driving home in the dark after going to the pool.
