New Music Friday March 7: Elton John, Lady Gaga, JENNIE, Tim McGraw, j-hope, Kelsea Ballerini, Doechii & More

Happy New Music Friday! The weekend is here, which means more streaming, new playlists and the best that music has to offer — and ET has you covered for everything in between.

Lady Gaga has released her seventh studio album, MAYHEM. The album explores chaos and transformation, celebrating music’s power to unite, provoke and heal. Gaga executive produced the album along with her fiance Michael Polansky. ET sat down with Gaga where she opened up about working with Michael. She shared that “he’s a really beautiful person, he’s my best friend, he’s incredibly brilliant and he worked really really hard and that meant so much to me, to be in it with somebody else that you have that deep love connection with.”

JENNIE has released her first studio album, Ruby. The album explores a variety of genres and features collaborations with Childish Gambino, Doechii, Dominic Fike, Dua Lipa, FKJ and Kali Uchis. Even before the album’s release, she already crossed 450,000 global pre-orders. She celebrated her new album last night in Los Angeles at the first night of The Ruby Experience, a series of intimate shows. JENNIE told the audience that making this album was a journey that truly represents her and it is her story that she is telling. As she held back tears, she thanked her fans for believing in her and making her dream come true. She will perform in Los Angeles again on March 7 and next perform March 10 in New York and March 13 in Seoul.

Finn Wolfhard has announced his debut solo record Happy Birthday will be out June 6. He released the first single “Choose the latter” and announced a headlining North American tour starting June 5. He shared “music for me has always been something that I can control. And while I’m really grateful for acting and for a long time, it really provided me that peace, it’s just a different thing now that I’m an adult and that it’s a career. I still enjoy it a lot, but when I am by myself and get to play guitar and write a song, it’s a different kind of feeling I’m after.”

Ingrid Andress made a triumphant return to the spotlight after performing the National Anthem at a hockey game in Colorado on February 28. After the performance, she posted “we’re back baby!” ET sat down with the singer as she opened up about her time in rehab and returning. She shared that she is “feeling much better than the last time the world saw me. I feel so much healthier and so much more like myself.” She said it is important to ask for help and was tired of hiding that she was struggling. Now she is back with a new song called “Footprints” that she penned for her younger siblings, offering words of reassurance for making it through tough times. Ingrid will also be performing at The Opry on March 8 and has more new music to come.

BET Awards, Culture’s Biggest Night is back with a new date and celebrating its 25th anniversary. The awards will take place live in Los Angeles on Monday, June 9, 2025. BET Experience 2025 will also return with four days of immersive fan-focused events from June 5 through June 8.

FINNEAS brought out special guests at his Los Angeles show on March 5 at the Hollywood Palladium. He and The Zombies co-founder Colin Blunstone performed The Zombies hit “Time Of The Season.” He also brought out Ashe and they sang “till forever falls apart” and an unreleased song. During the show, he dedicated “Family Feud” to sister Billie Eilish who is also on tour, and took time to thank girlfriend Claudia Sulewski and his parents who were in the audience. FINNEAS wrapped the U.S. leg of his For Cryin’ Out Loud: The Tour and will next perform April 14 in Dublin.
