Your Weekly Dose: New Music by Pro-Palestine Artists
I’m excited to bring you this special Thursday edition of House of Magdalena! Each week, I share Friday’s new album releases by pro-Palestine artists exclusively with my paid subscribers.
These Thursday posts are a fun way for me to say Thank You for allowing me to do what I love - writing and moving people to action. Your support helps me dream of dedicating more time to writing (maybe even full-time). By subscribing to my newsletter, you also enable me to keep my high-quality free content free!
If you missed it, check out my special Pride edition of my Tuesday newsletter, where I shine a spotlight on queer Palestinian icons, share social media accounts that highlight queer Palestinian issues, explore how queer movements stand in solidarity with Palestine and provide ways you can take action to counter pinkwashing.
New Releases June 7
I love exploring new releases, and each week I eagerly check to see which albums are dropping on Friday! Here are some brand new releases from artists who’ve shown their support for Palestine:
Halsey - The End (Single)
In an emotional comeback, Halsey unveils "The End,” a deeply personal anthem that offers a raw glimpse into her battle with Lupus SLE and a rare T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder. On June 4 in a social media post, she shared, "Long story short, I’m lucky to be alive. Short story short, I wrote an album. It begins with The End."
The revelation comes with intimate glimpses of her treatment journey and a pledge to support organizations like The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and the Lupus Research Alliance.
Although she took an outspoken pro-Palestine stance in 2021, she faced a period of silence due to safety concerns after receiving threats from Zionist trolls. She apologized for her silence in November 2023, and has since spoken out and pledged support to relief organizations.
Huda Kattan also included Halsey’s beauty brand About-Face on a list of makeup brands that support Palestine.
Aurora - What Happened to the Heart?
