Columbia phenomenon Langley just earned eight ACM noms (the most of any artist this time around); much of the love was for her high-spirited Riley Green duet, “you look like you love me.” But this newer tune, which she co-penned with Johnny Clawson and Joybeth Taylor, shows her more introspective side. The track appears on the deluxe edition of her debut set, Hungover.

Lockeland Springs/Atlantic singer-songwriter Barber is one of country’s most compelling recent discoveries, and this incandescent duet with Anna (who co-write the song with Barber and Andy Sheridan) conveys his emotional depth and authenticity. “Indigo” appears on Barber’s acclaimed 2024 album, Restless Mind.

Atlantic rap-pop dynamo Harlow has undeniable (let’s face it: steamy) chemistry with guest Doja, and the video for this frisky duet (directed by Neal Farmer) is further elevated by a brace of celebrity cameos. If only we could get a table at that restaurant.

New MW music is always an event, and we expect his new album, I’m the Problem (due 5/30 via Big Loud/Mercury/Republic), to rule the roost for the foreseeable future. On this thoughtful but infectious tune, he ponders being a little crazy in a world that’s stark raving mad.
