New Music Friday: Songs You Should Listen to This Weekend (July 1)

This week’s hottest new music releases!

Even though Pride Month 2022 is now officially over, there’s still plenty of great music being released by LGBTQ+ artists and allies going into July. From pop to hip hop to EDM to alternative music, there are plenty of bops that will keep queer people dancing, reflecting, or simply having a blast way past Pride Month.

While most people are still obsessed with Beyoncé’s “Break My Soul” and are preparing for her upcoming Renaissance album, there’s lots of other new music to get us through that seemingly-eternal waiting period. Now that Pride Month is over and corporations aren’t flooding their timelines with rainbows and support for LGBTQ+ artists and allies, it is more important than ever for fans to show up for their faves and also discover up-and-coming queer artists who want to break into the music industry in a big way.

To make things as easy as possible, Pride.com has put together a list of new bops released by LGBTQ+ artists and allies during the week of July 1. If you’re looking for something new music to add to your playlist or new artists to follow on your favorite streaming platform, you’ve come to the right place!
