Billboard’s Friday Music Guide serves as a handy guide to New Music Friday’s most essential releases each week — the key music that everyone will be talking about today, and that will be dominating playlists this weekend and beyond. Last week , we featured Olivia Rodrigo, BTS, Jack White and more. This week: British singer-songwriter Myles Smith releases his debut studio album, My Mess, My Heart, My Life ; FKA twigs and Lil Yachty team up for a summer smash; and Kashus Culpepper follows his debut with a new five-song EP…plus much more. Check out all of this week’s picks below: FKA twigs & Lil Yachty, “On Your Mind” FKA twigs’ first release since winning the 2026 best dance/electronic album Grammy for her stunning Eusexua is the punchy, crunchy Lil Yachty collab “On Your Mind.” The song extends the dance world output of the Eusexua era, but brightens it and speeds it up, reaching hyperpop mode over its thrilling three and a half minutes. “On Your Mind” was first teased during the recent European leg of twigs’ Body High tour, with the artist sharing its backstory earlier this week while announcing the song. “i wrote this song with yachty in the evening after a long dance rehearsal when i had found out that my previous manager and production team had not got [my] visas in time to go to coachella and complete my headline EUSEXUA USA tour. i stayed late in the dance studio manically practicing in the hopes that the news was not true, and in denial that somehow i would still make it across the sea to perform for my amazing and loyal fans if i just practiced a bit more. it never ceases to amaze me how pain can manifest into the hardest and most euphoric sonics. i think making songs like this keeps me on my toes and reminds me that i am not in control. “i am giving this back story,” she continues, “because after completing my first arena tour of the USA and EU it feels like the perfect time to release it in celebration of what as artists we can overcome when we believe in ourselves and others believe in us. i feel so full, thank you for coming to see BODY HIGH, thank you for continuing to grow with me. thank you for what we are building next. everything happens for a reason and my reason for making music and art will always be you” — KATIE BAIN Coco & Breezy & Gavin Turek, “Tonight” Twin DJ duo Coco & Breezy link with the always-a-pleasure-to-hear Gavin Turek for the slinky “Tonight.” Together, they deliver a groovy summer house heater that gives hints of “All For You”-era Jacket Jackson, with the trio keeping the production simultaneously relaxed, feminine and tightly orchestrated. Coco & Breezy are on the road all summer, with shows across North America and Europe, including Ibiza dates at Cova Santa, Club Chinois and more. — K.B.
