This week's roundup features some of our favorite emerging and established artists, including JoJo, 5SOS, Jhene Aiko, and so many more. Turn up, tune in, and tune out.

JoJo (2018) - JoJo

JoJo re-recorded her first album and released it in a move that reclaims her voice and her artistry. A very, very welcome return.

"Lie To Me" - 5SOS ft. Julia Michaels

Didn't know I needed this collab to happen until now!

"Wasted Love Freestyle" - Jhene Aiko

Her first solo release in forever was so worth the wait.

"Mala Mía (Remix)" - Maluma, Becky G, Anitta

Queue it up and get the party started.

"Dance with Me" - Beabadoobie

Quiet magic.

"Nada" - Lexie Liu

We named her one of our artists-to-watch for a reason.

"Neon Moon" (cover) - Cigarettes After Sex

The cover feels a little out of left field, but I'm definitely not complaining.

"Blue Hands" - duendita

Just over a minute is all it takes to fall for this new artist, TBH.

Bunker Studio Sessions EP - VÉRITÉ

Revisiting electronic tunes with an all-women orchestra? Yes, please.

DON'T PANIC! (Acoustic) - Lauren Sanderson

Forever a sucker for anything acoustic.

"Voicebreaks" - Sofi de la Torre

Too relatable.
