Olivia Rodrigo, "take me home (4 christmas)"
O-Rod brings a bit of new-wave whimsy (and a decided tip of the Santa hat to The Waitresses) with this holiday treat. The Interscope star co-penned it with longtime collaborator Daniel Nigro and Grammy darling/pop savant Amy Allen. The rom-com-esque video, meanwhile, co-stars Sex in the City treasure Cynthia Nixon and SNL’s Ben Marshall. Best of all, you don’t have to wait until December to open it.
SLAYYYTER, "hey boyyy"
Do you miss Halloween as much as we do? Then you’ll enjoy the latest vid directed by and starring Columbia’s pop troublemaker, which prominently features a skeleton. SLAYYYTER exudes a quality that’s rare in the musical mainstream nowadays—danger—and anticipation is building for her new album, wor$t man in america, due Dec. 4. The artist born Catherine Grace Garner, who’s managed by Foundations and repped for live by Zac Bluestone, Marty Diamond, Eli Gelernter, Julian Wright and Jordan Alvarez at THE•TEAM, sold out her June 2027 MSG show in 15 minutes and will be visible at multiple festivals worldwide.
Lil Baby, "Mr. Do Something"
Georgia’s gone fully blue, so the mobile-home tour of Atlanta undertaken by QC/Motown/Capitol’s Lil Baby in this bracing, ILMATO-directed vid feels almost like a whistle-stop odyssey. The track appears on his brand-new album, Fresh, the guest list of which boasts Young Thug, Future and Rylo Rodriguez, among others; Metro Boomin, Pharrell Williams and London on da Track contributed production. Baby’s Pharrell-driven “Dead Fresh” has been a radio rocket, hitting #1 at Rhythm and Urban. Now he has Fresh worlds to conquer.
