## Summary

Dominic Fike’s first album since his recent breakthrough as a pop hitmaker is among this week’s highlighted releases. How to Quit Smoking leans towards gentle, lo-fi and acoustic sounds, with hip-hop touches and unexpected contributions from Danny Brown and Tay-K.

Other picks include Gracie Abrams’ new single, a deluxe edition of Mariah Carey’s Glitter soundtrack, BigXThaPlug’s Better Over Time and Queens of the Stone Age’s ninth album, Perfecth. Carey’s reissue adds rarities including an early version of “Loverboy”, while Queens of the Stone Age take a more restrained, groove-led approach than on some earlier work.
