The superstar K-pop girl group BLACKPINK is one of the biggest pop juggernauts in the world, with billions of streams and massive world tours to its name.
Born Pink, its second full-length album — and "full-length" is relative here, since we're talking about eight songs in under 25 minutes — promises to further expedite BLACKPINK's domination of the U.S. charts.
We've also got new projects from Brazilian-born electro-pop artist LYZZA, Afropop-inspired R&B singer-songwriter Miloe, Tiny Desk Contest-winning singer-songwriter Quinn Christopherson and dance-pop star Rina Sawayama. On this week's
New Music Friday, Radio Milwaukee's Tarik Moody and NPR Music contributors Christina Lee and Cyrena Touros join guest host Stephen Thompson.
