New Music Friday: Ariana Grande's new album finally drops!

It's Friday, which means there's a fresh batch of new music ready to soundtrack your weekend. From the arrival of one of the year's most anticipated albums to exciting new collaborations from dance, Afrobeats and Arabic pop stars, here are the latest tracks landing on Channel 4 this week.

Ariana Grande kicks things off with Petal, the title track from her brand-new album of the same name, which is also released today. Following the success of Eternal Sunshine, Ariana enters a new era with an album that showcases her signature vocals alongside a more mature and introspective sound. Petal perfectly captures that evolution and is one of the biggest talking points in music this week.

Dance music legends Swedish House Mafia team up with Lykke Li on Happiness Is So Sad, blending uplifting production with emotional lyrics in a collaboration that feels tailor-made for late-night summer playlists. Meanwhile, Aya follows up the huge success of Ma Tnsani (Yalla Habibi), this time teaming up with Bees and Honey, another infectious release that's set to keep her momentum going across the region.

Rounding off this week's picks is Tell Everybody, which brings together Nigerian superstar Davido and Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Leon Thomas. The pair combine Afrobeats and smooth R&B to create a feel-good track that's packed with groove and effortless chemistry, making it the perfect way to round off another strong week of new music.
