New Music Friday August 18: Usher, Ciara, Hozier, Dolly Parton, Reneé Rapp and More

Check out some of ET's favorite new music of the week!

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

Keke Palmer joined Usher on his "Boyfriend" music video, making a clear statement following her split from Darius Jackson. Ciara continued to prove she's one of the hardest-working mamas in the game, dropping her new EP, CiCi, less than two weeks after announcing that she's pregnant with her fourth child. And Dolly Parton recruited Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr for her lovely new cover of "Let It Be."

Quavo shared his new album, Rocket Power, which includes features from the late Takeoff, Demi Lovato released the rock version of her hit, "Confident," and Reneé Rapp dropped her debut album, Snow Angel.

Plus, new music from Hozier, j-hope, Charlie Puth, Anitta, Paris Jackson and more -- and a tour announcement from Tori Kelly!

Earlier this week, the singer announced her much-anticipated Take Control Tour in support of her acclaimed new EP, tori. The intimate nine-date North American trek begins on Sept. 10 at The Axis Club in Toronto, Ontario. It will the hit New York City, Boston, Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, and San Francisco, before wrapping with two nights in Los Angeles on Sept. 25-26.
