The Friday Drop: Maluma, Zayn, Jessie Reyez, and More New Music This Week

"When I first heard that Maluma and J Lo were collaborating on new music, I was excited, to say the least, but nothing or nobody could have prepared me for this double song drop! Since the release of the two tracks, that's all I've been listening to, but if I had to pick a favorite, I'd go with 'Pa Ti' only because it's more of a love song than 'Lonely.' I guess these songs will have to hold me over until their movie, Marry Me, premieres on Valentine's Day." — Monica Sisavat, editor, celebrity and entertainment

"I'm a spiritual person, so I love when artists explore their faith and some of the contemplations that come with it. I think it's important to question some traditional beliefs and ideas while seeking out answers for yourself and forming your own relationship with God. Reyez beautifully touches on this in her new track 'No One's in the Room' as she looks within to figure out who she is and reconciles with her spirituality." — Brea Cubit, assistant editor, celebrity and entertainment

"Even though there aren't a whole lot of lyrics in this song, there's something about the beat that's extremely intoxicating. It instantly puts me in a good mood and makes me want to dance." — Monica Sisavat, editor, celebrity and entertainment

"Zayn is back! His first solo single in two years is giving me the smooth R&B vibes I need to enjoy the weekend. I hope he serenades Gigi Hadid and their new baby girl with this song." — Brea Cubit, assistant editor, celebrity and entertainment"

"I'm well aware that this is Tiller's song, but if I'm being honest, it's The Weeknd's verse that does it for me. His voice is just so smooth, and it only gets sexier when he raps." — Monica Sisavat, editor, celebrity and entertainment

"The original 'Wow' was a bop before, but, of course, Carpenter takes it to another level in this new remix. I'm not totally surprised that she hopped on the track since it was one of the standout songs featured in her Netflix film Work It. More Larson-Carpenter collabs, please! " — Brea Cubit, assistant editor, celebrity and entertainment

"I'm a sucker for a good reggaeton bop, and I immediately added this one to my Spotify playlist as soon as I heard it. Everything from the beat to the lyrics reminds me of vacation, and seeing as we can't travel at the moment, this song will have to do for now." — Monica Sisavat, editor, celebrity and entertainment

"I can almost hear the pain and exhaustion in Vérité's delicate vocals as she sings about someone carrying the burden of a failed relationship, even though it's not her fault. Sometimes, it's just easier to take the blame than to expect a heedless person to take responsibility for their actions." — Brea Cubit, assistant editor, celebrity and entertainment

"I can't say I've listened to a ton of MGK's music before, but I have been very into this new punk rock sound. It almost reminds me of Good Charlotte, and given how big of a fan I am of theirs, this is right up my alley. There are a handful of standout tracks on his Tickets to My Downfall album, but this one is my favorite." — Monica Sisavat, editor, celebrity and entertainment

"This is one of those songs you play while staring out the window and thinking about the state of the world. The news cycle has been really grim this year, and it's easy to feel hopeless. But I love this track's message of faith and strength in unity." — Brea Cubit, assistant editor, celebrity and entertainment
