  "account": "This week's New Music Friday roundup features a variety of exciting releases, with Olivia Rodrigo and Chappell Roan's remix of \"Expectations\" leading the way. The slickly written reimagining of Rodrigo's Billboard 200-topping hit showcases Chappell's impressive songwriting skills. Tate McRae also contributes a new era single, \"Housewife,\" which reinterprets the term \"housewife\" in an empowering and self-sufficient light. Other standout tracks include A$AP Rocky's \"Shroom Clouds,\" U2's \"The Greatest Show on Earth,\" and Kygo and Ava Max's \"Before You Know It.\" Zach Bryan's new eight-song EP, Young Manhood & Other Donatable Organs, explores themes of technology and masculinity, while Rachel Chinouriri and Ashe release their sophomore and fourth studio albums, respectively. Belgian pop star Angèle, Irish rock band Fontaines D.C., and Australian trio The Avalanches also release new projects, as do R&B star Lucky Daye and Irish rock band Blaqbonez. Grammy-winning K. Michelle finally releases her debut country album, Jesus & Whiskey, after a decade-long journey.",
