That debut would come in October. “Juno,” an album named after her French bulldog, is a high-speed record whose maximalist hooks and sly jokes often betray its more serious, introspective undertones. That’s because the new album “wouldn’t exist" if she hadn’t "gotten sober during quarantine,” the 25-year-old told Los Angeles Magazine.

And the Palo Alto, Calif., native isn’t done yet. In the new year, she’ll bring her technicolor hits to 13 cities for her sold-out North American tour, followed by a stint opening for Lorde on the first leg of her Solar Power tour in the spring.
“I love for my shows to be a big party," she told NPR earlier this year. “So when I’m performing, if it’s my release, I want it to be a release for other people.”
As the singer looks forward to another big year, we asked what songs she’s carrying with her. See her picks below and click here to listen on Spotify.
