From Yard Act’s “Where’s My Utopia” to Kacey Musgraves's “Deeper Well,” March 2024 has continued to bring us great new music of all different kinds of genres. Here are all the must-listen-to tracks:
Starting strong, Ariana Grande's latest album, “Eternal Sunshine,” has been topping the charts all month long. Delivering a profound performance of her latest song, “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait For Your Love)” on Saturday Night Live, Grande did not disappoint with this album. In the four years since she released her last album, “Positions” in 2020, Grande has gone through public scrutiny and breakups, something she channels into her newest album. “Eternal Sunshine” examines the pains of leaving an old relationship and the excitement of a potential new one. This album is Ariana Grande's most vulnerable and, in my opinion, her best album yet.
The next notable album of the month is Future and Metro Boomin’s newest album, “We Don’t Trust You.” This album is vengeful and full of emotion, showcasing Future and Boomin's hope to rekindle the notion of rap moments, which are iconic moments like when Kendrick started a war with his album “Control” or when Drake and Meek Mill displayed their faceoff to the world through music. If you decide to give it a listen, make sure not to miss “Cinderella” and “Ice Attack + Type S***” (the transition is impeccable).
Finally, some honorable mentions for the music of the month include Kid Cudi’s ninth studio album “Insano,” which is much like Cudi’s older music, “GUTS Deluxe” by Olivia Rodrigo, and Beyonce’s switch to the country with her newest album “Cowboy Carter.”
