#NewMusicMonday: Sofia goes "Back to Beautiful," Why Don't We is "Free" + more!

There's no doubt about it—there's been a lot of unrest in America lately. Current events have been stressful for everyone, and that makes self-care extra important right now. Take some time to unwind with some new songs from Why Don't We, Dua Lipa, Martin Garrix JAX and Sofia Carson. These amazing new tracks below are just what you need to keep your spirits high. 

Why Don’t We’s music video for “Free”

We love the just-released music video for Why Don’t We’s infectious “Free.” The band, made up of members Jack, Corbyn, Jonah, Daniel and Zach, kicked off their first ever tour by releasing this NYC-filmed video. To make things even better, it was released on the same day as the band’s four month anniversary. Love the song? Check out two of the band’s other songs “Taking You” and “Nobody Gotta Know” or catch them on their Taking You Tour.

Martin Garrix and Dua Lipa’s music video for “Scared to Be Lonely”

If you love “In the Name of Love” and “Animals” by Martin Garrix, you’re going to want to check this song and video out. In this new video for Martin Garrix’s collab with Dua Lipa, the Dutch DJ takes this EDM tune to new heights with fog, moody lights and intense chemistry. Dua Lipa’s powerful, soulful voice help make this song a winner, and the epic drops make the replay button hard to resist.

JAX’s EP, Funny

You might remember JAX from the fourteenth season of American Idol. Poised to take the pop music scene by storm, Jax was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2016. "It was very unexpected," she said of her diagnosis to My Central Jersey. "When you're 20 years old, you have this Superman entitlement mentality, like you're indestructible. And sometimes all it takes is God telling you it's time to take a break for you to understand that you are most certainly not." Since her diagnosis, JAX has had her thyroid removed and successfully completed radiation. Now, she’s back to the thing she loves most: music. On her ironically-titled EP Funny, JAX brings us the sassy rock songs and silky piano tunes we loved her for on American IdolFunny is available on iTunes now.

Sofia Carson’s “Back to Beautiful”

You couldn’t get enough of this Disney star in Descendants (and we know you can’t wait to see her in Descendants 2 this summer), now Sofia has an irresistible new single that’ll have you even more obsessed. “Back to Beautiful” is a self-empowerment anthem written by Alan Walker and Stargate, the Grammy Award-winning team behind hits from Beyoncé, Rihanna and Justin Bieber. Sofia says,“The song defines ‘beautiful’ not as a physical concept, but as a state of kindness in our hearts and in our minds—a message I hold close to my heart.” Right now, only the audio is available for this track, but the video, which is sure to quickly become one of our new favorites, is set for release in February.
