2025 is in full swing, and a slew of music artists have kicked off the new year with a bang.

Mac Miller’s estate gifted fans with Balloonerism, a posthumous album that has been the subject of speculation for years. Balloonerism is a 14-track journey that showcases Miller’s experimental side, blending neo-soul and jazz elements. The album kicks off with “Tambourine Dream” and features standout tracks like “5 Dollar Pony Rides,” “Friendly Hallucinations,” “Mrs. Deborah Downer,” “Stoned,” “Manakins,” and “Rick’s Piano.” Notably, the album includes collaborations with artists such as Thundercat, SZA and Ashley All Day.

Two major collaborations this week came in the form of Central Cee teaming up with 21 Savage for “GBP” and Marshmello calling on the Jonas Brothers for “Slow Motion.”

Meanwhile, Lucy Dacus unveiled “Ankles,” which marks the lead single from her upcoming album, Forever Is a Feeling, out March 28 via Geffen. The 13-track project will feature contributions from Dacus’ Boygenius bandmates, Phoebe Bridgers and Julien Baker, along with Hozier, Blake Mills, Bartees Strange, Madison Cunningham and more.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg as far as new music this week. Other top releases include John Summit’s “Focus” featuring CLOVES, Mumford & Sons’ “Rushmere,” Hailey Whitters’ “Casseroles” and Rose Gray’s Louder, Please.
