Billboard’s Friday Music Guide serves as a handy guide to this Friday’s most important releases—the most important music that everyone’s talking about today and that will dominate playlists this weekend and beyond.

This week, The Weeknd brings us back to the dance floor, Playboi Carti is still seeing red and Charli xcx is extending Brat Summer. Here are all of this week’s picks:

The Weeknd, “Dancing in the Flames”

The Weeknd returns triumphantly with “Dancing in the Flames,” the first single from the upcoming album Hurry up tomorrowwhich the synthpop fantasy of Radio and television stations but offers an even richer chorus and more vocal fragility; it’s a big swing that would fit well in an ’80s radio block or any collection of modern streaming hits.

Playboi Carti, “All Red”

The hip-hop world is eagerly awaiting Playboi Carti’s next album, and the release of “All Red” not only indicates that the follow-up to Lots of red is just around the corner (and is, of course, a thematic continuation), but the MC is as focused as ever, belting out catchphrases and improvisations to an explosive beat.

Charli xcx feat. Troye Sivan, “Talk Talk” Remix

Labor Day and the glory days of Brat Summer may be behind us, but Charli xcx has more to offer, serving up captivating remixes of her critically acclaimed album. This time, her pal and tour partner Troye Sivan provides the perfect balance with a new version of “Talk Talk,” his soulful tone complementing Charli’s elastic momentum amid the song’s constant movement.

Tate McRae, “It’s OK, I’m OK”

Following a breakthrough year that saw her show off spot-on choreography and jaw-dropping hooks, Tate McRae positions her new single “It’s ok I’m ok” as a collection of breathless, dance-ready tunes. We hear a pop singer finding her sound and style in real time.

Miranda Lambert, Postcards from Texas

For her first album with new label partners Republic and Big Loud — and since she was over forty — Miranda Lambert returns to her roots on Postcards from Texaswhere one of country music’s smartest storytellers uses her home state as inspiration for tales of unique characters, revenge after betrayal, and women who are underestimated despite being experts in their field.

Katy Perry feat. Doechii, “I’m His, He’s Mine”

One week before the release of the new album 143 and days after her performance as Video Vanguard at the MTV VMAs, Katy Perry lends some of her pop chops to rising star Doechii on “I’m His, He’s Mine,” which in turn injects the track with tons of confidence as they play a pair of queens capable of charming any unfaithful man.

Shawn Mendes, “Nobody Knows”

In his rustic return, Shawn Mendes has ditched the pop bombast in favor of guitar tones and uninhibited vocals—and “Nobody Knows,” a stirring new anthem that lets Mendes’ high-pitched vocals hoot, scream and flourish, sounds like the most naturally delivered track released yet from his upcoming album.

Editor’s Choice: FKA Twigs, “Eusexua”

Like most of FKA Twigs’ hypnotic songs, “Eusexua,” the title track from her next album, juxtaposes the gentle contours of Twigs’ voice with strident production elements—this time, darting beats that swell and threaten to explode before freezing into a dancefloor throb and then unexpectedly dissipating. Stunning and accessible, “Eusexua” is a dazzling return from a singular creator.
