Billboard's weekly Friday Music Guide rounds up the most notable new releases of the week, headlined by a surprise single from Beyoncé. The guide highlights fresh music across genres — including a new album from Suki Waterhouse and a heartbreak ballad from Teddy Swims — as a snapshot of what listeners and playlists are likely to focus on over the weekend.

Beyoncé's surprise-dropped single "Morning Dew (Donk)" is a downtempo, R&B-leaning track that follows her recent country and dance ventures and casts doubt on speculation that her next album could be rock-oriented. Suki Waterhouse releases her third album, Loveland, the follow-up to 2024's Memoir of a Sparklemuffin, while Teddy Swims shares "Break Up In Reverse", a ballad inspired by a NAS song and his own relationship ending. The Rolling Stones deliver their 25th studio album, Foreign Tongues, spanning 14 songs and just over an hour, and The Linda Lindas team up with Paramore's Hayley Williams on "Closer", their first release since signing to Reprise/Warner in June.
