New music and teasers

Apple Music has started pushing “MAYHEM: Requiem” as CORTIS rolls out teasers for its second EP, with Olivia Rodrigo and Noah Kahan also lining up April releases. (music.apple.com) (weverse.io) (billboard.com) (deltaplexnews.com) For Lady Gaga, “MAYHEM” is already an Apple Music release tied to her 2025 album, and Apple Music has been using the “Requiem” label around that campaign. Apple Music’s album page lists “MAYHEM” as a 17-track release that arrived in 2025. (music.apple.com) CORTIS has put firmer dates on its comeback. BIGHIT MUSIC said the group’s second extended play, “GREENGREEN,” will be released on Monday, May 4, and the label opened pre-orders on March 27. (weverse.io) The group is splitting the rollout in two stages. Soompi reported that CORTIS will pre-release “REDRED” on April 20 at 6 p.m. Korean Standard Time, then drop the full six-track EP on May 4 at 6 p.m. Korean Standard Time. (soompi.com) That release matters for BIGHIT MUSIC because it is CORTIS’s first comeback since its debut cycle. KpopWise reported that the group’s first EP, “COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES,” arrived in September 2025 and that “GREENGREEN” follows after the act’s early push into United States-facing events, including National Basketball Association All-Star programming. (kpopwise.com) Olivia Rodrigo’s next move is closer. Billboard reported that her new single “Drop Dead” is due Friday, April 17, and that it is the first song from her third studio album, “You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love,” which is set for June 12. (billboard.com) Rodrigo added another teaser on Monday, April 13. iHeart said the clip previewed “Drop Dead” with the on-screen line “it’s feminine intuition” ahead of the song’s April 17 release. (iheart.com) Noah Kahan is working on a slightly longer runway. ABC News, via Deltaplex News, reported that his album “The Great Divide” is scheduled for April 24, and that he is booked as the musical guest on “Saturday Night Live” on May 9 with Matt Damon hosting. (deltaplexnews.com) The next ten days now carry the clearest dates in this release wave: Rodrigo on April 17, CORTIS’s “REDRED” on April 20, and Kahan’s album on April 24. CORTIS’s full EP follows on May 4. (billboard.com) (soompi.com) (deltaplexnews.com)
