\n\tThis week, Sabrina Carpenter keeps winning, Zach Top becomes a star and Hayley Williams continues evolving. Check out all of this week\u2019s picks below:<\/p>\n

\n\tSabrina Carpenter, Man\u2019s Best Friend\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tSabrina Carpenter was always the type of knowingly quirky pop star that was able to effortlessly use a word like \u201cagoraphobia\u201d in a chorus, but Man\u2019s Best Friend is by far her most idiosyncratic album yet, full of self-possessed and unabashedly sexual lyricism, genre explorations via nifty instrumental hooks, and vocal takes ranging from sarcastic whispers to large-hearted cries. Read a full review of Man\u2019s Best Friend here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tZach Top, Ain\u2019t In It For My Health\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tZach Top has exploded into the modern country scene with a simplified version of Nashville standards, and for much for Ain\u2019t In It For My Health, the singer-songwriter offers deceptively straightforward delights \u2014 this album may be his country coronation with singles like \u201cGood Times & Tan Lines\u201d and \u201cSouth of Sanity,\u201d but the tiny phrases that stick with the listener, and the way his voice can break on a final chorus, are the little things that make Top a star.<\/p>\n

\n\tHayley Williams, Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tWeeks after unceremoniously releasing 17 solo songs onto the Internet, Paramore leader Hayley Williams has gathered them into a proper album, titled the beguiling project Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party, and added one new song, the wistful pop-rock track \u201cParachute,\u201d which is one of the best of this unexpected bunch.<\/p>\n

\n\tSkepta + Fred Again.., Skepta .. Fred\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cVictory Lap\u201d unlocked something for both Skepta and Fred Again.., with the rapper and producer\u2019s respective creative processes melding for a white-hot dance banger in July; since then, the two have kept working together, and now offer the tape Skepta .. Fred, a five-song exploration of their musical aesthetics that will have your speakers knocking for 16 minutes.<\/p>\n

\n\tDJ Khaled, \u201cYou Remind Me\u201d\/\u201dBrother\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tWith his first new music in three years, DJ Khaled demonstrates his curiosity in a wide range of pop, as well as the continued power of his Rolodex: \u201cYou Remind Me\u201d combines Vybz Kartel,\u00a0Buju Banton,\u00a0Mavado,\u00a0Bounty Killer,\u00a0Rorystonelove and\u00a0Kaylan Arnold into a summertime dancehall cut, while \u201cBrother\u201d features Post Malone and YoungBoy Never Broke Again, with one providing the heartfelt hook and the other gliding through rap verses.<\/p>\n

\n\tBlood Orange, Essex Honey\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tDev Hynes has long been a steady presence in popular music, even when he goes years in between projects, due to his influence on modern indie-pop and R&B; Essex Honey, his first album in seven years under the Blood Orange moniker, acts as an ambitious return to form \u2014 songs like \u201cLook At You,\u201d \u201cVivid Light\u201d and \u201cMind Loaded\u201d are all stop-you-in-your-tracks beautiful \u2014 and a reminder why so many stars turn to Hynes for inspiration.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Beths, Straight Line Was a Lie\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tOne of the most consistent groups in indie-rock, New Zealand quartet The Beths return with another supremely likable collection of shout-along songs: Straight Line Was a Lie pushes the band\u2019s juxtaposition of quiet introspection and anthemic hooks to its limit, with songs often segueing straight from sky-high choruses to hushed admissions.<\/p>\n

\n\tEditor\u2019s Pick: Baylee Lynn, \u201cCautiously Optimistic\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tSeventeen-year-old singer-songwriter Baylee Lynn has recently moved across Tennessee to Nashville and, with debut single \u201cCautiously Optimistic,\u201d made an incredibly charming opening statement that both hopes that a new attraction is the real deal and harkens back to the turn-of-the-century country-pop stylings of Faith Hill and the Chicks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
