It's time for another week of new music! Zayn Malik and dvsn both came through with new albums, and there's a certain song on Malik's LP that has fans buzzing about his relationship with Gigi Hadid. Joshua Bassett also got some things off his chest with his new song, "Lie Lie Lie," and if you haven't watched the video for it yet, please take a second to do so. As POPSUGAR editors, my colleagues and I love discussing our new weekly music finds, so check out our recommendations in the latest edition of The Friday Drop ahead.
"Don’t Play" by Anne-Marie, KSI, and Digital Farm Animals
"There's not much to say about this song other than the fact that it instantly puts me in a good mood and makes me want to dance. I've already added it to my Spotify playlist and plan on listening to it all weekend long." — Monica Sisavat, editor, celebrity and entertainment
"Roaring 20s" by Flo Milli
"The fact that Milli and producer Kenny Beats sampled Fiddler on the Roof's 'If I Were a Rich Man' and made it sound so dope is incredible. My entire apartment building is going to have to deal with me blasting this song now." — Brea Cubit, assistant editor, celebrity and entertainment
“Lie Lie Lie” by Joshua Bassett
"From the moment Joshua Bassett teased "Lie Lie Lie" on his Instagram back in 2019, I've been obsessed, and the full version of the track is just as good. While Bassett's lyrics are incredibly sharp, it's the catchy melody that will get stuck in your head all day long. Needless to say, I can't wait to hear what other pop hits he has in store for his upcoming EP." — Kelsie Gibson, editor, celebrity and entertainment
"Sweat" by Zayn Malik
"This song is straight-up sexy. I mean, Malik really delivered with his Nobody Is Listening album, but this track is my favorite. I also can't help but wonder if he wrote it with Gigi Hadid in mind." — Monica Sisavat, editor, celebrity and entertainment
"Grey" by Why Don't We
"Melancholy never sounded so beautiful. Between the gorgeous vocals and piano, this might be my new go-to song for when I need a good cry." — Brea Cubit, assistant editor, celebrity and entertainment
"He Said" by dvsn feat. Miguel
"I fee like this collaboration was made for me. I'm a fan of both dvsn and Miguel, but having them both on a song is almost too much. I immediately got goosebumps when Miguel started singing. Yep, this one is going to be on repeat for a while." — Monica Sisavat, editor, celebrity and entertainment
