New music releases: Our Amazon Music picks
If your study playlist needs a refresh, Amazon Music's 30-day free trial is the perfect excuse to dive into something new. Two big, very different records are dropping this month.
Popstar – Tinashe
Tinashe's eighth studio album, Popstar, arrives on the back of a genuinely massive run — back-to-back Hot 100 hits "Nasty" and "No Broke Boys," the latter hitting number one on Billboard's Dance chart and racking up over a billion streams.
Released via Atlantic Records, the 16-track album leans further into the confident, genre-blurring pop and R&B sound that's made her one of the most-streamed independent artists of the last two years.
Out September 25: this is the one to have on your radar if "Nasty" was inescapable on your FYP in 2024.
Pylon – beabadoobee
beabadoobee's fourth studio album, Pylon, trades her usual bedroom-pop softness for grunge, midwest emo, and '90s radio rock. Written on the road while touring 2024's This Is How Tomorrow Moves, it's named after the electricity pylons she'd stare at, thinking about home.
The feature list is stacked: Hayley Williams, Turnstile's Brendan Yates, Deftones' Chino Moreno, plus production from The 1975's Matty Healy and George Daniel.
Out September 18 via Dirty Hit — one of Gen Z's favorite indie artists going full arena rock.

The latest on Audible: Our Amazon Audible picks
Audiobooks are one of the easiest ways to fit reading into your routine. Walking to class, commuting, or resting between study sessions — all you have to do is just press play.
With the Amazon Audible student discount, you can start with a 30-day free trial and explore titles like this:
Careless People – Sarah Wynn-Williams
Ahead of October's Facebook drama hitting theaters, Careless People is the memoir to get ahead of the hype. Sarah Wynn-Williams' gripping, darkly funny account of her time inside Facebook's top ranks will change how you see the technology running your life — and the people controlling it.
It's already a number one global bestseller, so this is the perfect moment to catch up before the film conversation kicks off.
Threshing Day – Rebecca Yarros
Are you desperately asking: "when is Fourth Wing book 4 coming out?" Sadly, this isn't quite book four, but close: Threshing Day is a spin-off novella containing thirteen stories starring your favorite characters and their dragons from the blockbuster Empyrean series that started with Fourth Wing.
Threshing Day releases September 29 and should tide the fandom over in the meantime.
A Court of Thorns and Roses - Sarah J. Maas
With two new Sarah J. Maas releases landing in October across A Court of Thorns and Roses, Throne of Glass, and Crescent City, now's the moment to catch up or reread. Feyre's journey from human huntress to Fae royalty is still one of the most-discussed series on BookTok, and the countdown to October has restarted the hype all over again.
Expect renewed chatter, rereads, and a fresh wave of listeners catching up before next month's releases drop.

What's new on Prime Video? Our Prime Video picks
With the Amazon Prime student discount, you get access to Prime Video, meaning you can stream series and live content without paying extra.
Here’s what we’d recommend adding to your watchlist this month:
The Grand Tour
If you've been wondering, " who are The Grand Tour's new hosts?" meet the new trio: Throttle House creators James Engelsman and Thomas Holland, alongside viral trainspotter-turned-petrolhead Francis Bourgeois. The Grand Tour returns with six new episodes taking the format from Angolan deserts to Malaysian car culture to California performance cars.
All six episodes drop September 4 — big names for a Gen Z audience already primed to tune in.
The Love Hypothesis
The film adaptation of Ali Hazelwood's BookTok-favorite romance, The Love Hypothesis, finally arrives. Lili Reinhart stars as PhD candidate Olive, who kisses intimidating professor Adam Carlsen (Tom Bateman) to prove she's moved on — and ends up in a fake-dating scheme that gets complicated fast.
Premieres globally September 23 — read the book first if you can, but it's not required homework.

FAQs
Is Amazon Music free with Prime?
Kind of. Prime includes Amazon Music with ads and shuffle-only playback for a big chunk of the catalog. For full on-demand access, ad-free and offline listening, you'll need Amazon Music Unlimited, which is a separate subscription — though Prime members usually get a lower monthly rate than non-Prime members.
How do I cancel Amazon Music?
If you have had enough of your Amazon Music subscription, cancelling it is easy. Head to your Amazon Music settings, select "Manage Subscription," then cancel from there. You'll keep access until the end of your current billing period, so there's no rush to do it right before renewal.
What is Amazon Audible?
Audible is Amazon's audiobook and podcast subscription service. Members get credits each month to redeem for audiobooks, plus access to a rotating selection of included titles and podcasts.
Is Audible free with Amazon Prime?
No — Audible is a separate subscription from Prime. That said, Prime members are often eligible for discounted introductory offers when they sign up, so it's worth checking the current deal before paying full price.
Does Amazon Prime include Audible?
Not by default. Prime and Audible are billed and managed separately, even though both sit under the Amazon umbrella.
How do I cancel Amazon Audible?
Similarly to cancelling your Amazon Music subscription, just go to your Audible account settings, find "Manage Membership," and cancel from there. Like Amazon Music, you'll keep any remaining credits and access until your next billing date.
