Olivia Rodrigo , Alex Warren , JENNIE and more stars are making sure the month of August closes out with a packed weekend of new music releases. With her inaugural Daisy Chain Fields just around the corner, Rodrigo unleashed “Serena Joy” — poignantly named after the Handmaid’s Tale character — earlier in the week. The fiery standalone track calls out those who turn a blind eye to injustice and fittingly arrives in time for the pop star’s all-women festival in Irvine, Calif., which will raise money for organizations supporting women and girls with a lineup that includes Chappell Roan, Doechii, Mitski, The Breeders, Stevie Nicks, Karen O, Sarah McLachlan and more.
