Here's The Most-Anticipated New Music For 2024

Beyoncé + Renaissance: Act II, Cowboy Carter (March 29)

Not only did the Chiefs win the Super Bowl, but Beyoncé managed to break the internet by sharing that she has new music on the way via her Verizon commercial. Although fans knew she was going to release a follow-up to Renaissance, Beyoncé was tight-lipped about when it could be expected. However, the wait is over!

While Renaissance paid homage to house music and the culture that made it popular, the second act, titled "Cowboy Carter," is going to be a huge nod to country. She's already released two singles — "16 CARRIAGES" and "TEXAS HOLD 'EM" — that are triggering excitementon social media. Many, including us, are ready to "yeehaw" our way into spring with our cowgirl boots and hats.

Bey shared more about her challenges making Renaissance: Act II in an Instagram post detailing how isolating it is, as a Black woman, to be welcomed in the country music genre.

"The criticisms I faced when I first entered this genre forced me to propel past the limitations that were put on me," the caption reads. "Act ii is a result of challenging myself, and taking my time to bend and blend genres together to create this body of work."

She also revealed that there'll be s"a few surprises" on the album, as she's collaborated with "brilliant artists who I deeply respect." We can only hope that means there's a Taylor Swift feature on there! 😉

Taylor Swift + The Tortured Poets Department (April 19)

It's almost time to for love and poetry to also help set the tone for spring with the upcoming release of The Tortured Poets Department— AKA TS11! While we can't get enough of her relationship with Travis Kelce, the Swifties need more lyrics to quote in our captions. While she hasn't released a single from it yet, Taylor did share the official track list for it and our hearts are already filled with emotion at the titles.

Side A

• Fortnight (feat. Post Malone)
• The Tortured Poets Department
• My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys
• Down Bad

• So Long, London
• But Daddy I Love Him
• Fresh Out the Slammer

Usher + Coming Home (Released February 9)

Who's here after Usher's magnetic halftime show at the Super Bowl? Our knees are still trying to recover from dancing along to the top hits he performed last night, but that's okay! For those of us who felt like the time went by too quick because we were having a lot of fun, Brit + Co is happy to share you can keep the party going by listening to Usher's new studio album Coming Home.

Listen to his new single "Ruin" for a taste of what your can expect to hear with his new music.

Kim Petras + Slut Pop Miami (February 14)

Kim Petras isn't known for biting her tongue and is releasing something that lovers of smut books will enjoy hearing in the form of Slut Pop Miami. Based on the teaser of "Can We F***," we think early 2000s summer melodies mixed with suggestive lyrics are going to be the basis of this album. Seriously, get into the track list:

1. Slut Pop Reprise
2. Gag On It
3. Fuckin' This, Fuckin' That
4. Banana Boat
5. Get Fucked
6. Rim Job
7. Cock Blocker
8. Butt Slutt
9. Head Head Honcho
10. Cubana
11. Whale Cock
12. Can We Fuck?

Jennifer Lopez + This Is Me...Now (February 16)

We're a just a few days away from the debut of This Is Me...Now, and we can't wait to hear how much Jennifer Lopez has grown since her last album. It's meant to be a musical journey that explores her experiences since the release of This Is Me...Then, and even includes an updated love ballad to her husband Ben Affleck.

Faye Webster + Undressed at the Symphony (March 1)

Tyla + Tyla (March 1)

Tyla's single "Water" had us whining our waists with its melodic beat and her sweet vocals so it was only a matter of time before she shared the date of her new album. Her conversation with Harper's Bazaar highlights what listeners can expect from Tyla. She said, "Where I am from is everything...South Africa is literally me as an artist. I am bringing it wherever I go.”

Ariana Grande + Eternal Sunshine (March 8)

Kacey Musgraves + Deeper Well (March 15)

Justin Timberlake + Everything I Thought It Was (March 15)

Vampire Weekend + Only God Was Above Us (April 5)

Sia + Reasonable Woman (May 3)

Sia's pen game is noteworthy as she's given us hits like "Chandelier " and "Unstoppable" over the years. Now she's back with a new album called Reasonable Woman. Her single "Dance Alone" features one of the queens of dance music, Kylie Minogue, and helps us have a better understanding of the album's energy.

Forbes also shared that listeners will be able to hear collabs with Chaka Khan and Paris Hilton. It's not like we needed another reason, but this cements Reasonable Woman as being one of the most-anticipated albums of the year.

Lana Del Ray + Lasso (September 2024)

Most-Anticipated New Music Without Release Dates Yet

SZA + Lana (Unknown Release Date)

After winning the Best Progressive R&B Album for SOS at the 2024 Grammys, fans have been wondering when SZA will release new music. Despite not having an official release date, SZA actually teased that an album's already been in the works with a series of alleged album covers on Instagram. Variety shared that Lana was meant to be a deluxe version of SOS by adding "7 to 10 songs to the original album," but that plan changed. Instead, SZA told the outlet that Lana is "...definitely turning into its own album." Yay!

Lady Gaga (New Music TBD)

Lady Gaga is back in the studio, so we definitely think a new album could be in the works! While her caption on Instagram is incredibly cryptic, we can't help but hope that we're going to get a glimpse of Gaga in her "Bad Romance" era. Plus, fans think there may be a "Telephone" reunion with Beyoncé, based on some of Bey's recent visuals...we can only hope!

Dua Lipa (New Music TBD)

Dua Lipa knows there's no such thing as writing too many songs when you're an artist, and said as much during her Jimmy Kimmel Live! appearance a few days ago. She told the Kimmel that she physically "wrote 97 songs" for her upcoming album that's been in the works for a while. However, this doesn't mean all of them will make the cut for the album's final track list.

Stay tuned for more updates!

Camila Cabello (New Music TBD)

It's been a long two years since Cabello's release of Familia, but we've been patiently waiting for her to share a new music update. The singer recently wiped her Instagram clean aside one reel and three images, and we have a feeling that this is strategic. Is she going full Taylor-Swift-Reputation-Mode? Only time will tell!

e.l.f. No Budge Retractable Eyeliner

This is by far the best drugstore eyeliner out there. Designed with a convenient retractable (no-sharpen!) tip, it's super easy to take on the go for any touch-ups. Plus, the color payoff and wearability of each shade is insanely impressive.

If you're looking for an eyeliner that, no matter the circumstances, does not budge, this $5 is the perfect pick-me-up. You can find it in a handful of different colors to suit your makeup needs.

Promising review: "I can’t believe I’ve been trying to make felt tipped eyeliners work for so long. Usually I put on felt tipped eye liner and it barely shows up, maybe my eye lids are watery or oily. So naturally within a hour or two it doesn’t even look like I’ve put on eye liner. This is not the case with this elf eye cream retractable liner. It actually shows up right away, it also lasts for hours. Even after 8 hours there was still some on my eyes, although I did need to re apply in some spots. It also didn’t smudge. For it to last at all and not smudge is amazing for me."

Nivea Body, Face, & Hand Moisturizing Cream

Though some people may see this $10 tinned cream as truly "old school,"many others still hold it near and dear for its ability to moisturize and heal dry skin in need of nourishment.

The thick, non-greasy formula is chockfull of provitamin B5 that really sinks deep into the skin. The best part is it's really gentle, so you can use it on your face, body, and hands.

Promising review: "Nivea is a great product. My parents always had a tin of it around. I've continued the tradition. It is a wonderful thick cream that moisturizes well. Great value for the price, as a little goes a long way. Softens rough skin."

TONYMOLY Petit Bunny Lip Gloss

This adorable bunny-shaped lip gloss is enriched with vitamin E for soft lips and a pinch of pigment so your pout gets a nice wash of color. It comes in a convenient stick form that's super easy to travel with!

Right now, 6 different shades of this gloss are on sale for $6 (originally $8). Snag one before the sale's over!

Promising review: "I am really happy with this product. The tint is very pretty, and not too pigmented. I am very picky about the texture of my lip glosses and lip balms and this one is lovely."

Versed Sweet Relief Night Mask + Face Balm

B+C Affiliate Writer, Meredith, truly cannot get enough of this stuff from Versed. It's a thick, moisturizing face balm that really nails down the 'slugging' skincare trend without totally swamping your skin. It is fairly oily and shiny after one application, so she recommends using it only at night – and you'll wake up with a glowy complexion!

Its $10 (was $18) formula is loaded up with bacuri and kokum butters and apricot kernel oil that are all dedicated to protecting the skin barrier. Though these ingredients may sound intimidating, the product is still wonderfully gentle overall for any skin type.

Promising review: "I have very sensitive skin and LOVE this as an overnight moisturizer. It's thick but a little goes a long way. The winter where I live is very dry. I use it every night before bed, my skin feels great in the morning! It's neutral smelling but I prefer that."

Mielle Organics Rosemary Mint Strengthening Shampoo

This $7 (was $10) shampoo will set all your hair growth goals so right. It's made with rosemary and mint essential oils that help stimulate the scalp for better growth, along with biotin that ensures your locks don't lose moisture during the washing process. Snag the coordinating conditioner to get the full benefits (read an editor's review here)!

Promising review: "This shampoo is my favorite. It has a nice smell and gives my thinning hair a lot of volume and softness. Lathers well. Packaged well, no leaks. Hair loss has slowed down some. I will definitely continue to use."

e.l.f. Cosmetics Glossy Lip Stain

This $6 (yes, $6!) lip stain is unlike most lip stains in the way that it boasts a fun, glossy formula. Where some leave-on lip stains may dry up and make your lips look crusty AF (hate that), this one nourishes your pout, all the while leaving a nice wash of color behind.

This e.l.f. product stole the heart of B+C Affiliate Writer, Meredith, for its natural look, comfortable wear, and undeniable affordability. Its low price of $6 makes it so easy to try out the lip stain trend without going all-in! There are also so many shades to pick from, so you're sure to find one that suits you perfectly.

Promising review: "This was the first time buying any thing that was being called a lip stain. I didn’t want to spend a lot since I wasn’t sure if I would like them or if they worked the way people said they did. This goes on very easy and I have only used it a few times now, but it did last for a number of hours and did not come off when I ate or drink anything. I have thinner lips, but I like at this at least helps them show up more and when I don’t want to wear a lot of color, this is a soft neutral."

Method Pure Peace Body Wash

This $8 body wash smells like heaven, truly. With notes of peony, rose water, and pink sea salt, it's perfectly feminine and clean and feels like a total treat in the shower or bath. Though fragranced, it's still gentle on the skin and provides a good amount of moisture after each use!

This body wash from Method also boasts a unique biodegradable formula made with plant-based cleansers that contains zero parabens or phthalates to ensure healthy skin 24/7.

Promising review: "I was hesitant to buy this as I was not sure about how the scent would be. I am pleasantly surprised.
It has a simple rose smell, but it's mild and lacks that perfumey, cloying sort of smell that can happen with floral scents. Very simple, like I'm rubbing roses on myself. Not super strong, it lingers but doesn't feel like it's following you around all day either."

Essence Lash Princess Mascara

This $5 mascara definitely doesn't feel like it's $5. It undeniably volumizes and lengthens your lashes in a few simple swipes, all without those pesky clumps you might expect from a more affordable product.

The brush itself features an easy-to-use conic shape that lets you access the entirety of your lashes for a cohesive look, too!

Promising review: "What a little hidden gem this is. I first saw this on a you tube video and decided to try it. The bottle is adorable, but the contents will blow you away. It's probably the best mascara or one of the best that I have ever used. It was very inexpensive so even though the woman on the you tube video was saying how great it was, I wasn't expecting it to be all that great, but was still curious. I'm really glad I bought it, because it is the best mascara from a company no one probably even knows of because it is not mainstream. Buy it! I think you will love it!!"

Cocokind Mymatcha All-Over Moisture Stick

Infused with caffeinated matcha, this one-of-a-kind $9 moisture stick is perfect for combatting everything from dry lips to tried under eyes. Its formula is 100% vegan and super gentle on the skin, so people of any skin type can try it out.

The wide shape of this balm-like moisture stick allows you to cover a good amount of real estate on your face or any dry patches elsewhere. It has a very slight matcha-y scent, too, for all you matcha fiends out there!

Promising review: "I have used these moisturizing sticks since I was pregnant with my son 7 years ago. I used them all over my face in the harsh winter months working at a ski resort and now under my eyes as a sleepy mama to a toddler. Great for preventing windburn and easy for kids to use. I can throw this in my son’s book bag for school when he plays outside in -30 degree weather and don’t have to worry about it getting all over his hands or leaking. No funky ingredients. No synthetic fragrances. We love it."

Wet Brush Original Detangler Hair Brush

The Wet Brush is a team favorite around here. It's gentle, lightweight, and oftentimes comes in the cutest colors and patterns to make our hair care routines more fun.

If you're still using your old, ratty hair brush, the flexible bristles on the Wet Brush will feel like a total treat on your head. They help minimize breakage while still effectively detangling your locks. We're simply obsessed with this $7 rainbow colorway, too!

Promising review: "It glides through my hair effortlessly, detangling without pulling or causing breakage. The bristles are gentle yet effective, making it perfect for both wet and dry hair. Plus, the color is so pretty! If you struggle with knots or just want a great everyday brush, this one is a must-have!"
