After a long and sometimes contentious rollout, Charli XCX will finally release her new “main pop girl” album Crash this week.

Thom Yorke – “5.17”
Thom Yorke has released a new song, “5.17.” As its artwork indicates, it’s one half of a double-sided single — another new song, “That’s How Horses Are,” has a release date of April 3 on Apple Music.
