Whether you’re looking for raw vulnerability or the next global dancefloor filler, here are the 10 releases you cannot afford to miss.
1. Harry Styles – Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.
Harry Styles has officially ended his four-year hiatus with the March 6 release of his fourth studio album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally., via Erskine and Columbia Records.

With his Together, Together residency tour set for May, this release serves as the cornerstone for what is projected to be the most commercially dominant tour cycle of 2026.
2. Shakira ft. Beéle – “ALGO TÚ”
Following a historic performance in Mexico City, Shakira has released “ALGO TÚ” through Sony Music Latin and 5020 Records. Co-produced by Shakira and Beéle, the single is a masterclass in Afro-Latin fusion, incorporating traditional gaita textures that pay homage to their shared Barranquilla roots. Strategically released ahead of her massive Copacabana Beach concert, the track reinforces Shakira’s ability to scale local cultural markers into global stadium-ready anthems, maintaining her momentum as a preeminent figure in the international touring circuit.
3. Jessie Murph – “A Little Too Drunk”
Following her standout 2026 New Year’s Eve performance, Jessie Murph continues her meteoric rise with “A Little Too Drunk” on Columbia Records. Self-produced by Jessie Murph, the emotional ballad showcases the Alabama native’s signature grit, oscillating between soulful crooning and hip-hop influenced cadences. As she builds toward her sophomore album, Sex Hysteria, Murph’s ability to capture raw, visceral experiences has turned her into a generational voice for “anti-pop” listeners, bridging the gap between Nashville storytelling and mainstream chart appeal.
4. Leo Rizzi – “Choque”
Spanish-Uruguayan artist Leo Rizzi continues his exploration of 80s-inflected soft rock with “Choque” via Universal Music Spain. Co-written by Leo Rizzi, Jesús José Ortega Bermúdez, and Juan González Sánchez, and produced by Rizzi alongside RYO, the track utilizes a lush horn section to evoke a sophisticated “sophistipop” nostalgia. The release is accompanied by a Kodak-shot music video that visualizes the song’s core theme of necessary destruction for rebirth. Rizzi’s “soft rock” pivot is successfully diversifying his sonic footprint across both European and South American markets.

The track serves as a powerful preview for Langley’s upcoming album, Dandelion, and signals a significant shift in the commercial power dynamics of the contemporary country genre.
8. Jason Aldean – “Don’t Tell On Me”
