V’s New Music Roundup: Chappell Roan, Reneé Rapp, and more

V’s New Music Friday picks for the first week of August.

Between Chappell Roan’s long-anticipated release of “The Subway” and Reneé Rapp’s sophomore album, August is coming in with a bang! To add to the party, Demi Lovato is ushering in a new era and Maren Morris is welcoming the deluxe chapter of her record D R E A M S I C L E. Add these new tracks to your playlist below!

Chappell Roan, “The Subway”

Fans have been dying to hear a studio version of Chappell Roan’s heartbreaking ballad “The Subway” since she debuted it live at Governor’s Ball music festival over a year ago and at several other performances since. The single and accompanying music video proved to be well worth the wait – with stunning vocals and production along with an equally beautiful visual, the track has been polished to perfection.

Reneé Rapp, “BITE ME”

Multi-hyphenate Reneé Rapp is back with her sophomore effort BITE ME, chock-full of a wide array of sonic elements, from up-tempo pop tracks to R&B-inspired ballads that show off her Broadway-trained vocals. Standout tracks include “I Think I Like You Better When You’re Gone,” “Sometimes,” and “Good Girl” – but throughout the entire project, Rapp is unapologetically herself, as always. 

Demi Lovato, “Fast”

Demi Lovato is taking quite the departure from her previous punk-rock-inspired album HOLY FVCK and subsequent release of REVAMPED, a collection of the rock versions of ten of her greatest hits. With “Fast” comes the first taste of her upcoming optimistic, sensual dance pop record, expected later this year. 

Maren Morris “Dreamsicle (Deluxe)”

Just a few short months after the release of her fourth studio album D R E A M S I C L E, Maren Morris is back with a collection of four new songs for the record’s deluxe edition – “in love with me,” “be a bitch,” “running,” and “earth angel.” Each of the tracks vary in theme but equally act as lyrical standouts on the project.
