The 25-year-old English singer-songwriter Yungblud (aka Dominic Richard Harrison) has made his name working with some of the biggest stars in radio-friendly pop and rock, including Halsey, Travis Barker and Dan Reynolds of Imagine Dragons. Now, Yungblud's self-titled third album finds him coming into his own with an accessible pop-punk sound that leans heavily on big feelings.

We've also got new albums from the veteran Chicago rapper Psalm One, the even-more-veteran metal titan Megadeth and the Winnipeg shoegaze band Living Hour, as well as a new rarities collection from the experimental English-French outfit Stereolab. On this week's New Music Friday, NPR Music contributor Cyrena Touros, WXPN's John Morrison and NPR Music's Lars Gotrich join guest host Stephen Thompson.
