Your Weekend Playlist: The Bros. Landreth, Lady Gaga, & Tame Impala Top Our New Music Picks
Another Friday, another playlist stacked with fresh drops. This week, JUNO-winning duo The Bros. Landreth take the wheel with their lush, road-ready single “I’ll Drive” — the first taste of their upcoming album Dog Ear. But they’re not the only ones fueling your weekend queue: from Justin Bieber’s new “Love Song” to Lady Gaga’s dark disco return, Lizzo’s bop-filled comeback, and a Latto x Ice Spice collab built for chaos, your playlist just leveled up.
The Bros. Landreth – I’ll Drive
Canadian brothers Dave and Joey Landreth are back with “I’ll Drive,” a track that distills their signature blood harmonies and soulful guitar-driven sound into a heartfelt anthem about connection and release. Co-written with Grammy-nominated songwriter Jonathan Singleton during a Nashville trip, the song captures a simple but potent idea: throw your cares aside and take a long drive with someone you love. It’s the kind of track that feels just as fitting for a wide-open highway as it does for a quiet late-night loop around your neighborhood.
The single leads into their upcoming album Dog Ear (out November 14 via Birthday Cake Records), which features heavyweight collaborations with Bonnie Raitt and Begonia. Rooted in themes of refuge and family, the record promises a balance of intimacy and ambition, a reflection of The Bros.’ lifelong bond and their place in Americana’s evolving soundscape. With “I’ll Drive” as the opening chapter, the road ahead looks wide open.
Justin Bieber – Love Song
The Biebs is back, and he’s keeping it stripped and tender with “Love Song.” It’s a reminder that beneath all the headlines, Justin Bieber still knows how to deliver a pop ballad that hits straight at the feels.
The Last Dinner Party – The Scythe
Hot off their breakout run, The Last Dinner Party sharpen their edges with “The Scythe.” Dramatic, theatrical, and a little dangerous, it’s another bold entry in their baroque-pop takeover.
Lola Young – Spiders
Lola Young spins vulnerability into strength with “Spiders.” Moody, raw, and dripping with honesty, it cements her as one of the most compelling young voices coming out of the UK right now.
Tame Impala – Loser
Psychedelic mastermind Kevin Parker delivers again — “Loser” is woozy, shimmering, and soaked in synths. It’s a reminder that Tame Impala still own the lane of trippy indie-pop for sad stoners and dreamers alike.
Lady Gaga – The Dead Dance
Mother Monster is back in her theatrical bag. “The Dead Dance” is Gaga at her most gothic-disco, a track that feels like Studio 54 got haunted — and we’re living for it.
Lizzo – Bop It!
Lizzo has entered the chat. “Bop It!” is fun, flirty, and bursting with confidence — proof that she still knows how to dominate both the charts and your group pregame playlist.
Latto & Ice Spice – Gyatt
Two rap powerhouses, one viral-ready track. “Gyatt” is brash, bass-heavy, and engineered for TikTok chaos. Latto and Ice Spice trade bars with infectious energy — it’s pure main character music.
Goldie Boutilier – Favorite Fear
Dark-pop darling Goldie Boutilier leans into sultry mystique with “Favorite Fear.” It’s smoky, cinematic, and tailor-made for 2 a.m. overthinking.
From The Bros. Landreth’s heartland anthem to Gaga’s disco séance and Lizzo’s latest party-starter, this week’s Weekend Playlist has range. Add it, blast it, and let these tracks drive your weekend!
