As September wraps up, the new music from today’s biggest stars continues to flow in.
To kick things off, Lady Gaga unveiled Harlequin, her new 13-track album themed after her character Harley Quinn from the upcoming film Joker: Folie à Deux.

Meanwhile, The Weeknd teamed up with Playboi Carti for “Timeless,” the second official release ahead of The Weeknd’s Hurry Up Tomorrow album, which is the third and final installment of his After Hours/Dawn FM trilogy. The LP’s first single, “Dancing in the Flames” debuted at No. 14 on the Hot 100 this week on the chart dated Sept. 28.
Stevie Nicks stood up to injustice with “The Lighthouse,” revealing that she “wrote this song a few months after Roe v. Wade was overturned” in June 2022. “It seemed like overnight, people were saying, ‘What can we, as a collective force, do about this…,’” she continued in her note. “For me, it was to write a song.”
Tommy Richman dropped his debut album Coyote, with songs including Elephant in the Room,” “Whitney,” “Temptations,” “Whisper in My Ear,” “Give It All,” “Tennessee” (with Trevor Spitta and Zachary Moon), “Thought You Were the One” and more.
