Happy New Music Friday. Are you spinning L.A. Witch’s DOGGOD or L.A. Guns’ Leopard Skin?

Experimental pop/rock/electronic/hip-hop artists Frost Children (from New York) and Haru Nemuri (from Tokyo) released their collaborative EP Soul Kiss last fall on True Panther, the record label that puts out Frost Children’s music. In the months since the EP’s release, things have not gone well between the Frost Children and Nemuri camps, and this week that conflict is spilling into the public eye.

Rachel Chinouriri has done a lot within the last year. The London alt-pop singer released her excellent debut album What A Devastating Turn Of Events, flipped Fontaines D.C.’s standout hit on its head, and — after dropping off Remi Wolf’s US tour dates last August for financial reasons — is now touring with the reigning queen of Betty Boop pop Sabrina Carpenter.

Lil Yachty will not stop. For over a year, he has been gifting us single, after project, after single, working with everyone from James Blake to Pharrell to ian. He even dropped three singles on a Sunday once! Currently, he’s on the road with Tyler, The Creator for the Chromakopia World Tour (check out Chris’ review from yesterday) and is still not slowing down with the new releases.

In recent weeks Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have been getting massive turnouts at their “Fighting Oligarchy” rallies as the public reacts against Donald Trump’s destructive presidency. A big one’s coming up next weekend: Saturday, April 12, Sanders and AOC will appear at Gloria Molina Grand Park in Los Angeles with an impressive assortment of musical opening acts.

Earlier this year, the ultra-raunchy St. Louis rap star Sexyy Red teamed up with a resurgent Bruno Mars for the single “Fat Juicy & Wet,” and I wrote that the song was “about to be so huge.” Well, I was wrong. “Fat Juicy & Wet” made a half-decent chart showing, debuting at #17, but it didn’t do anywhere near as well as Mars’ recent songs with Lady Gaga and ROSÉ. I also thought “Fat Juicy & Wet” was really fun, but it mostly seemed to make most of my esteemed critical peers uncomfortable. Fair enough! Don’t listen to me! Now, Sexyy Red follows that single with a new one called “Hoochie Coochie.” No Bruno Mars this time.

Jane Remover’s anticipated new album Revengeseekerz has been “coming very soon” since she announced the follow-up to 2023’s Census Designated with lead single “JRJRJR” at the beginning of the year. She also dropped another single “Dancing With Your Eyes Closed” in February, along with a completely different album for a completely different project, Venturing. An official release date was never given for Revengeseekerz, but (surprise!) it’s today.

Last year, the Marías released Submarine, which we named our Album Of The Week. Today, the group is back with the new single “Back To Me” and its b-side “Nobody New.”

Haim have been teasing the follow-up to their 2021 Grammy-nominated album Women In Music Pt. III. The trio shared the song “Relationships” last month, and now they’re back with “Everybody’s Trying To Figure Me Out.”

PinkPantheress kicked off the year with “True Religion,” a collaboration with Shygirl and Isabella Lovestory for Shygirl’s Club Shy Room 2 EP. Today, she’s sharing her first solo song of 2025 with “Tonight,” which samples Panic! At The Disco’s “Do You Know What I’m Seeing?” from their 2008 album Pretty. Odd.
