- NEW MUSIC: ETHEL CAIN | AMERICAN TEENAGER
Ethel Cain has shared her new song, “American Teenager,” which is her latest from her forthcoming debut album "Preacher’s Daughter." She’s also announced a tour, including her performance at this year’s Pitchfork Music Festival. The new song combines the anthemic elements of country rock with Cain's poppier impulses, her voice double-tracked and Auto-Tuned in ethereal harmony, adding a part of the uncanny to an otherwise triumphant jam. The effect favours the track's message, which cuts through clichéd nostalgia for idyllic American summers by shining a light through the cracks in the American dream. In the song accompanied visualizer, she sits on a picnic table in the shade, sipping Budweiser tall cans and looking restless on a sunny afternoon. "American Teenager" comes after singles "Gibson Girl" and "Strangers," following on from the release of her latest EP, "Inbred," in 2021. “Growing up, I was surrounded by visions of NASCAR, rock’n’roll, and being the one who would change everything,” Cain said in a statement. “They make you think it’s all achievable and that if nothing else, you should at least die trying. What they don’t tell you is that you need your neighbour more than your country needs you. I wrote this song as an expression of my frustration with all the things the ‘American Teenager’ is supposed to be but never had any real chance of becoming.” The singer also announced the "Freezer Bride Tour," kicking off in Bloomington, Indiana, and finishing later in the month in Tallahassee, Florida.
- NEW ALBUM: TATYANA | TREAT ME RIGHT
Electro-pop star TATYANA released her debut LP, "Treat Me Right," which is a record possessing all the nostalgia of the 2010s alongside the promise of a unique future. Tight-roping between tongue and cheek anthems and heart-wrenching sincerity, this multi-talented artist guides us through her mind as she lives through the first encounter, the crush, the highs and lows and heartbreaks of new love, through which she experiences the world through a new dreamlike lens. "Kiss Me Right Now" sets the tone, a straight- forward and classic bubblegum pop anthem, with imagery and lyrical soundness emanating that of early Katy Perry and the self-aware futurism of BANKS. As well as having a comprehensible handle on the pop formula, TATYANA’s classical training gives her an understanding of musical arrangement and form that enables her to layer vocals and instruments with satisfying synchronicity. Tracks range from this flirty, bouncy synth-driven sound to the softer, lilting harmonies of "On My Mind," a hazy summer soother only made more ethereal with the harp dancing through the sound. The title track, "Treat Me Right," not only satisfies the punchy pop itch but presents an autonomy that is sometimes lost in love songs. TATYANA’s writing paired with Mount’s production is polished but not untouchable, with ‘Introduction’ creating an earnest dialogue with the listener and tracks such as "Make Amends" emanating bedroom pop intimacy that has become so prominent in the last few years.
- NEW MUSIC: 070 SHAKE | SKIN AND BONES
070 Shake has been teasing her sophomore album since the December release of "Lose My Cool," a collab with NLE Choppa. That track has since been scrapped from the project, and its title has been shortened — from "You Can't Kill Me Because I Don't Exist" to a simple "You Can't Kill Me." However, Shake has shared her new single, "Skin and Bones," via G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam Recordings. The G.O.O.D. Music artist’s latest offering serves as the lead single from her forthcoming sophomore LP, "You Can’t Kill Me," which is scheduled to drop later this spring. The new song is a spacey ballad about self-worth, produced by Dave Hamelin and mixed by Mike Dean. "Treat me like I'm more than a pair of skin of skin and bones / And that really made a difference in my story," she sings on the hook during a rare lull in Hamelin's tempestuous beat. The Noah Lee-directed music video for “Skin and Bones” is a surreal, cinematic trip, taking 070 Shake and her cohort of co-stars throughout various locations until she arrives at an empty auditorium for a shocking conclusion. Following the release of her second studio album, 070 Shake heads out on a headlining North American tour “immediately following the release of "You Can’t Kill Me,” per a press release, clueing us into that early May window—her 20-date run starts with a May 7 stop in Detroit, Michigan, then hits Chicago, New York City, Toronto, Houston and Phoenix on its way to a four-show finale in Los Angeles from June 7-10.
- NEW MUSIC: LIAM GALLAGHER | BETTER DAYS
Over the past couple of months, Liam Gallagher has been rolling out his upcoming new album "C’mon You Know," set to drop on May 27. So far, we’ve heard a couple of songs from it, including “Everything’s Electric” and its title track. Gallagher has revealed another new track entitled "Better Days," who also co-wrote it with his usual collaborators, Andrew Wyatt and Michael Tighe. It also features a guitar from Nick Zinner. “‘Better Days’ is the sound of the summer,” Gallagher said in a statement. And, if you are a devotee of the Gallagher brothers, you might find it easy to agree that “Better Days” has a big propulsive beat and Gallagher’s trademark widescreen melodies. “Better Days” also comes with a video directed by Paul Dugdale. It features Gallagher and his band playing the song atop Manchester’s Midland Hotel, in a nod to the famous Beatles rooftop performance. In October, Liam Gallagher teased "C’mon You Know" with a trailer for the album. It comes packed with clips of live performances by Liam Gallagher. It’s interspersed with shots of the audience singing along to the tune. Liam will donate all UK proceeds from the song to War Child UK for the rest of this year. Alongside the album announcement, Liam Gallagher teased a huge one-off Knebworth show. The enormous concert will see Gallagher returning to Knebworth on June 4th, 2022. Kasabian, Michael Kiwanuka, Fat White Family, and Goat Girl will join Liam Gallagher for the performance.
- NEW MUSIC: THE CHAINSMOKERS | RIPTIDE
The Chainsmokers have dropped a new single, “Riptide,” off the group’s upcoming LP, "So Far So Good." The dynamic track reflects the need to embrace time spent with a significant other. “But if I only get one life, this is what I wanna do,” the duo sings. “And if I only get one life, I wanna live it with you.” “Riptide” is the third single to emerge from So Far So Good, out May 13, which comprises 13-tracks. It follows “High” and “iPad,” released earlier this year. The duo’s last LP, "World War Joy," dropped in December 2019. On the "So Far So Good" continuum, the spongy, future-bass-inflected single "Riptide" sits closer to “iPad” than it does “High,” though it occupies a perch of its own. Whereas hints of The Chainsmokers’ 2014-2016 style permeated “iPad,” “Riptide” feels decidedly rooted in 2022, a period of mature and evolving—yet familiar—Chainsmokers sound. At once airy and sweet, a complement to condensation on a spiked cider can set beside a summer pool, “Riptide” is ready to soundtrack the high dive. Drew Taggart and Alex Pall spent recording the album in Hawaii on an official album trailer. They reflected on their songwriting and making their new album during the lockdown. The duo said, “Thank you for giving us time to rediscover ourselves, our music, and our love for why we do this. The truth is, we could have only made this album now. And we can't wait to share it with you.” On Monday, the Chainsmokers hosted a Friends & Family YouTube Livestream, which featured Drew, Alex, and Matt performing three tracks from the album live in Alex's kitchen! Check out the performances of "High," "iPad," and the unreleased album track "In Too Deep."
- NEW MUSIC: THIS IS US CAST | THE FOREVER NOW (FROM "THIS IS US" SEASON 6) (FEAT. MANDY MOORE)
Hollywood Records has released the original song "The Forever Now" from the NBC drama; "This Is Us." The track, which is featured in Season 6 episode, "Day of the Wedding," is written by the show’s composer Siddhartha Kholsla (Only Murders in the Building, Queenpins, Runaways, I Want You Back, Looking for Alaska) (whose end credits theme the track is based on) & Taylor Goldsmith and performed by Mandy Moore, and is now available to stream/download on all major digital music platforms, including Amazon. It has been 13 years since Mandy Moore first stormed the pop music charts in 2009 with “I Wanna Be with You.” However, that song peaked at number twenty-four on the Hot 100. Moore performed a version of the poignant song during the episode, initially recognized as the show’s closing theme throughout its six seasons. Consequently, Moore’s poignant delivery of the song during the episode paralleled the life of her character, Rebecca Pearson, who suffers from cognitive degeneration. This Is Us’ final season and is more emotional than we guessed. In the six seasons of the iconic series, the Pearson family has come a long way, and now we can see it all come together at Kate’s second wedding. She’s finally moved on from her 2017 wedding to Toby and will marry coworker Phillip in 2026. "This Is Us" is created by Dan Fogelman and stars Mandy Moore, Milo Ventimiglia, Sterling K. Brown, Chrissy Metz, Justin Hartley, Susan Kelechi Watson and Chris Sullivan. The final episodes of the drama air Tuesday night on NBC.
- NEW MUSIC: DAVID BISBAL | SE NOS ROMPIÓ EL AMOR
David Bisbal has been reaping successes for 20 years that have conquered us all. He bets on a new version of "Se Nos Bromió El Amor," his mother's favourite song and to which he has dedicated it. David Bisbal pays tribute to his mother with an impressive version of "Se nos roto el amor" by Rocío Jurado. "It makes me very happy to be able to put within the titles of all the songs that I have been sharing throughout my career this jewel that means so much to me and my family," David Bisbal has confessed, coinciding with the launch of his "Se nos broke love." With an emotional and brand new performance, the artist from Almeria fulfills one of his dreams by signing the piece that Manuel Alejandro wrote for the great Rocío Jurado. Accompanying her impeccable voice is a classical orchestra that oscillates the beautiful melody. He also owes it to Julio Reyes, the producer he went to adapt this song to his genre. Bisbal has given a new life to the classic "Se Nos Rompió El Amor," leaving proof that good music is not forgotten. In short, this new version is a tribute to the great composer Manuel Alejandro, Rocío Jurado and a gift to his mother. This recording is the first unreleased material that the musician released since he released "A contracorriente" last January, a song with his colleague Álvaro Soler. In December 2021, he published a compilation album around his first two decades of career under the title "20 years with you", from his debut with "Corazón Latino" (2002) to "En tus planes" (2020). Since he departed from the first edition in Spain of "Operación Triunfo" in 2001, Bisbal has forged one of the most solid careers in Spanish pop, with more than 3,500 million reproductions of all his songs.
- NEW MUSIC: JUSTINE SKYE | WHAT A LIE
Justine Skye is making an effort to reflect on her relationship woes in music rather than social media. The singer has returned with “What a Lie,” her first single release of the year. Over a relaxed production, Skye calls out an ex-lover who she discovered was unfaithful in their relationship. “User, what a user / A blessing, learning lessons / I see then for entertaining leechers / My poison was your peaches / Could’ve save my time, should’ve taken my space,” she sings in the first verse. “What a Lie” comes months after Skye went on Instagram Live to tell a recent story about how she caught her ex-boyfriend cheating on her. At the time, she was known to have been in a relationship with fellow R&B singer Givēon, which led many fans to speculate that she was talking about him. Though some fans were excited about the details surrounding their breakup, others felt that Skye should have vented about the situation through a song. She obviously took their advice. “Ya’ll keep telling me to put it in the music,” Skye tweeted on April 13, as she announced the release date for “What a Lie.” In December, Skye put the “Heartbreak Anniversary” singer on blast over claims of infidelity. Justine revealed that she found out he was creeping behind her back after she got access to his phone and saw that he was texting other women. Giveon is releasing his new single “Lie Again” a week later, on April 29. In response to a tweet comparing the two singles, Justine shaded her ex while seemingly denying that his song was about her. “I already know what this weak-ass song sounds like anyway,” she tweeted. “It’s not what y’all think it’ll be.”
- NEW MUSIC: JASON ALDEAN | GEORGIA
Jason Aldean released the second half of his "Macon," "Georgia" double-album, completing the ambitious thirty-song project. With ten new songs and five live most significant hits, the "Georgia" portion is the follow-up to November’s "Macon." While part one included the mega-hit “If I Didn’t Love You” with Carrie Underwood, part two featured future chart-toppers like “God Made Airplanes,” “Whiskey Me Away,” and “Trouble with Heartbreak.” Like "Macon," the theme of "Georgia" seems to revolve heavily around heartbreak, where Aldean shines. “Whiskey Me Away” opens "Georgia," perfectly setting the tone and highlighting Aldean at his best. With his deep voice and brooding style, the superstar tends to excel on mid-tempo heartbreak, and this track is the perfect example, hearkening back to some of his earliest hits with its clever play on words. Likewise, “The State I’m In” and “Trouble with a Heartbreak” are other highlights, with tension-building and moody melodies, finding the superstar grappling with lost love. Likewise, “The State I’m In” is like a long-lost cousin to 2009’s “The Truth” in the best way possible. With a tour named after “Rock and Roll Cowboy,” it’s safe to assume the track is destined to be a single, and it’s obvious why. With its catchy hook and driving guitars, the song about a travelling musician is perfectly crafted for a live show. “God Made Airplanes” is another standout and single-worthy track. Here, he’s desperate to escape, looking to take to the sky to get away from another broken heart. There are songs on "Georgia" that find Aldean experimenting with new sounds. For example, “Midnight and Missing You” and “Ain’t Enough Cowboy” find him dabbling with R&B beats and electronic-tinged vocals.
- NEW ALBUM: LABRINTH | EUPHORIA SEASON 2 (SCORE FROM THE HBO ORIGINAL SERIES)
Labrinth makes his return to scoring with the second season of "Euphoria," which is a score that is as gospel-like, boundary-breaking and ethereal as ever. The second season of the uber-popular HBO original series "Euphoria" wrapped on Sunday with a striking finale. With show creator Sam Levinson heading back into a creative mode for season three, the 15-track official season 2 original series soundtrack for "Euphoria" has been released via Interscope Records to tide fans over in the meantime. Considering all the throwback tracks from 2Pac, Hall & Oates, Faith Evans, and more, the soundtrack for "Euphoria's" the second season sounds remarkably grown for many Gen Z high schoolers — which complements the show's mature reputation. Among the new music crafted for the show appears “I’m Tired” by Labrinth and Zendaya, “Watercolor Eyes” by Lana Del Rey, “How Long” by Tove Lo, “sad4whattt” by ericdoa, “(Pick Me Up) Euphoria” by James Blake featuring Labrinth, and “Elliot’s Song” by Dominic Fike and Zendaya. The previously material introduces cuts from Billy Swan (“Don’t Be Cruel”), Orville Peck (“Dead of Night”), Noah Cyrus with Lil Xan (“Live or Die”), Lenny Kravitz (“It Ain’t Over ‘Til It’s Over”), INXS (“Never Tear Us Apart”), and more from Gerry Rafferty, Bobby Darin, and Yeat. "Euphoria" follows Emmy Award-winner Zendaya’s Rue, a 17-year-old high school student struggling with grief, love, and addiction as the ensemble cast around her – made up of Hunter Schafer, Nika King, Angus Cloud, Jacob Elordi, Algee Smith, Sydney Sweeney, and Alexa Demie, among others – try to find balance within their own lives and traumas.
- NEW MUSIC: PJ MORTON | BE LIKE WATER (FEAT. STEVIE WONDER & NAS)
PJ Morton has revealed the tracklist for his upcoming studio album, "Watch The Sun," which arrives April 29 via Morton Records. The proper R&B follow-up to 2019’s "Paul" has 11 songs and features an all-star cast of collaborators, from El DeBarge and Jill Scott to JoJo and Alex Isley, to name a few. "Water The Sun" features an appearance from the legendary Stevie Wonder, who joins Morton and Nas on a new song titled “Be Like Water.” Coincidentally, Morton wrote and recorded "Watch The Sun" at Studio In The Country in Bogalusa, Louisiana, where Wonder created his 1979 album, "Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants." About choosing guest features, Morton said, “One of my main rules is to not think of guests while I’m creating. When you think of the guest first, it becomes about what would fit for them instead of just making the best song you can make. Every guest is there super-intentionally – not because of who they are, but because they fit on these songs.” With the current state of the world, Morton saw it necessary to make music with little interaction from outside influences. “I think these last couple of years taught us to identify what is truly important. It was important for me to tell an honest story on this album. The album is an unapologetically soulful painting about the true challenges in life and love,” shared Morton in a statement about his new album. The lead single from "Watch The Sun" was “Please Don’t Walk Away,” released in October 2021. Its official video starring Dawn Richard arrived earlier this year. Morton returned in February with “My Peace, another effort with him and JoJo that also featured Mr. Talkbox.
- NEW MUSIC: SHAKIRA & RAUQ ALEJANDRO | TE FELICITO + VIDEO PREMIERE
Shakira has teamed up with Rauw Alejandro for a new song called “Te Felicito, " accompanied by a music video in which the two artists sing along to the track while dancing like robots in an AI world. Check out the visual—directed by Jaume de la Iguana and filmed in Barcelona. Shakira has been a pop singer, a bachatera, a rocker, a hip hop artist, a disco fan, and now she is hooked on the good wave, that of Rauw Alejandro, the Latin musician with the most nose for success after the already well-known Bad Bunny and J. Balvin. The new song translated into English is "I congratulate you," and it is that mix between disco music and reggaeton that defines the latest work by Rauw Alejandro. The lyrics of “Te Felicito" are simple, without shortcuts: the singer says goodbye to a couple with irony, assuming that she will not change her cynical attitude: “I don't buy that cheap philosophy. / Sorry, I don't ride that bike anymore. / I can't stand two-faced people. / I put my hands to the fire for you /and you treat me like one more of your cravings”. Alejandro doesn't appear until well into the song to rap inflated with autotune, an apology and brag about being macho: "I didn't block you from the networks so you could see the other one in the Mercedes." His vocal participation is not relevant. Still, the musical influence of that electro-funk rhythm is relaxed dance. The song is rabidly commercial, potentially becoming a spring and summer hit. “Te Felicito” follows “Don’t Wait Up,” a track Shakira released last summer that tinkered with futuristic electro-pop production. The Colombian superstar is currently working on her next studio album.
- NEW MUSIC: MEGAN THEE STALLION | PLAN B
With her new high-energy track, Megan Thee Stallion is dropping some serious shade on an ex. The rap star released her new single “Plan B,” which she teased at Coachella last week, and many were quick to conclude it was a diss track aimed at Tory Lanez. Over a sample of Joedci’s 1995 “Freek’n You” remix featuring Wu-Tang Clan, the Mike Dean-mixed cut finds Megan rapping, “Dear fuck n-gga/Still can’t believe I used to fuck with ya/Poppin’ Plan Bs ’cause I ain’t plan to be stuck with ya/Bam, I see you still kick’ it with them opp bitches/I’m the only reason your groupie ass got bitches/All them hoes wanna be like me/Bitch, most likely only fuckin’ you to spite me.” “This song is very mother fucking personal to me, and it’s to whom the fuck it may concern,” she said onstage, introducing the song. A week before the Coachella set, she tweeted, “I got this song that I recorded, and every time I play it for a woman, they start jumping and clapping. I think I wanna perform it at Coachella for the first time before I actually drop it.” Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion have been embroiled in a contentious legal battle since she accused him of shooting her in July 2020. Earlier this month, Lanez was remanded to jail during a court hearing for violating one of the conditions of his release. In February, the judge determined he’d disobeyed the court by subtweeting Megan Thee Stallion and setting his bail at $350,000. Lanez has always maintained his innocence and thinks it’s only a matter of time before he’s vindicated.
- NEW MUSIC: ED SHEERAN | 2STEP (FEATURING LIL BABY)
English singer-songwriter. Born in Halifax, West Yorkshire, Ed Sheeran treats fans to a brand-new remix for his single, "2step," alongside a new music video. The song is lifted from the deluxe edition of his album "=" (Equals), which isn't the first remix as he previously tapped Taylor Swift to help him revise the love song "The Joker and the Queen." The music video for the track was filmed in Kiev, Ukraine, with proceeds from the YouTube streams will go to the Disasters Emergency Committee’s Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal. The preview includes images of thousand of people pulling off coordinated dance moves in a downtown city square as Sheeran struts across a crosswalk and Baby drops his verse from the midst of a scrum of people bowing in waves. On social media, the British singer showed a teaser of the clip in collaboration with Lil Baby, where they appear through the city's streets. The star talked about the project recorded last year. “Although it was my first time there, I quickly loved the people and the place. No sign of the horror would come to Ukraine, and my heart goes out to everyone there”, said Ed Sheeran, who also spoke about partnering with the rapper in a previous Instagram post. “I’ve been a huge Lil Baby fan for some time now. I’m so excited to have him on the remix of this song and video. It’s an honour; I hope you all like it, April 22nd. A few more surprises after that”, concluded the redhead, making a mystery about what he still intends to release this year. This new remix isn't the only project Ed has up his sleeve. The 31-year-old singer added he has a "few more surprises after" the remix and music video drops.
- NEW MUSIC: SEAN PAUL | NO FEAR (FEATURING DAMIAN "JR GONG" MARLEY & NICKY JAM
International superstar Sean Paul releases new single, "No Fear," featuring legendary artists Nicky Jam and Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley. They both contribute to a smooth and breezy sound but still actively engaging. The song marks his latest release from his forthcoming eighth full-length album, Scorcha, out May 27 via Island Records. In celebration of Scorcha's release, Sean will host an exceptional performance at The Novo in Los Angeles on May 27th. In his familiar infectious sound, Sean Paul delivers another anthem. "No Fear" is an expressive track about embracing everything life throws at you. It's the perfect track to usher in warm weather and good times with a power-packed verse from Damian Marley and a catchy reggaeton chorus from Nicky Jam. "No Fear" follows on the heels of smash singles "How We Do It" ft. Pia Mia and "Dynamite" ft. Sia, who each caught fire right out of the gate. Sean also announced 2022 U.S. Scorcha headline tour dates and will hit the road with Pitbull on his 2022 North American Tour. Returning to the stage following two years of no touring due to the pandemic, he is eager and excited to reconnect with his fans live and in person. Throughout his career, Sean Paul has carved a home for himself while championing dancehall as being an artist with a unique sound, look and passion. His ability to show the power and unity in music through various collaborations across many genres has catapulted his career on multiple charts, awards, and with an enormous fanbase.
- NEW MUSIC: SEB | SAVE ME
You may not have heard of indie-pop up-and-comer SEB, but we’re willing to bet you know his music. The Rising LA-based artist and producer SEB has just shared his second new track of the year, “Save Me.” The song comes paired with a trippy VHS-shot music video that showcases a more melancholy side to SEB as he spirals down a path of self-destruction over his own lo-fi ‘80s-inspired beat. "Save Me is about that point you reach after you’ve tried self-destructing,” states SEB. “You’ve tried partying, you’ve tried drugs, but once you’re sober, that self-hatred is still there. You’re calling out for help, but who you’re calling out to is still enabling you to go down that same path." “Save Me” will be featured on a new body of work due in the coming months and arrives on the heels of the previous single, “fuck it, I’m the man,” which has been praised by The FADER, Paste, and NME with airplay across Apple Music and BBC Radio 1. “Save Me” continues to build on the world SEB created with his debut EP "It's Okay, We're Dreaming," the breakthrough hit “seaside_demo,” and last year’s standalone single “god of the sunsets.” It’s safe to say the LA-based artist has firmly cemented himself as one to watch, given how quickly he has seen success since releasing his debut single "Boys Don’t Cry" in 2020. As if that wasn’t enough, what makes SEB’s achievements all the more impressive is that he writes, produces, performs and engineers all of his own music. SEB is inspired by emotionally charged songwriters like Kurt Cobain and Joni Mitchell and other boundary-breaking artists like Tyler the Creator, Kid Cudi and Grimes.
- NEW MUSIC: SIGRID & BRING THE HORIZON | BAD LIFE
Following some severe teasing that they were working together, Norwegian singer and songwriter Sigrid and Bring Me Horizon have revealed their collaborative track "Bad Life." The new track is a low-key ballad, brimming with earnest and affirming vocal performances from both Sigrid and Oli Sykes. And together, the pair paint a picture of what it means to feel like the world is against you, but a reminder that the dark clouds don't last forever. It's about finding the positives in the negatives and making it through the day. “Bad Life” features a bit of a different side from Sykes. Instead of the vocalist's ferocious screaming we’re used to; the new track has a calmer tone. “It tells the story of when things are rough, and it can feel like you’re never going to stop feeling sad,” explains Sigrid of the new track, which came about when the two acts met backstage at Reading & Leeds festival last year. “Jordan & myself wrote this song in lockdown, remotely,” explains Bring Me The Horizon’s Oli Sykes. “We loved the message, but it wasn’t really fitting with the brief of the record we are currently creating. When we found out Sigrid was a fan, we felt like it was the perfect fit for her, although initially, I was reluctant as I felt like it was such a special record. Then Sigrid asked if I’d duet with her on the track, and that sealed the deal!” It also adds to a growing list of Bring Me The Horizon collaborations. They’ve also teamed up with Ed Sheeran on “Bad Habits,” Machine Gun Kelly on “maybe,” and, most recently, Masked Wolf on “Fallout.” ‘Bad Life’ will feature Sigrid’s second album, "How To Let Go," which will be released on 6th May 2022.
- NEW MUSIC: CONOR MAYNARD | P.G.N.L.
They say that imitation is the biggest form of flattery, and clearly, Conor Maynard is in the business of flattering. Having sky-rocketed into the depths of stardom on YouTube with melodic displays of pop perfection, the 29-year-old singer crafted himself a career filled with smash hits, collaborations with the likes of Ne-Yo and Frank Ocean and of course, a following teaming with crazed fangirls. He has now released his latest single entitled "P.G.N.L." and a tour on the horizon; there's plenty to keep Maynard busy. The new track follows his own version of Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance With Somebody,” taking the ultimate party song and transforming it completely. The original fast-paced, danceable tune is slowed down, and Maynard hones in on longing for love rather than wanting to get up and dance. Maynard spoke of his new track, "PG.N.L.," saying, "I’m super excited about my new single PGNL coming out; I think that will be really cool because it’s something different to what people have heard from me before. I wrote and produced it entirely myself, so it will be interesting to see what people think. Obviously, the tour is coming up; it’s my first time back on the road since the world has changed." With over ten years since his breakout success, Conor has explored different musical avenues and picked up creative skills galore. Additionally, later this year, Maynard will be hitting the road on tour for the first time since 2019. “It’s been a long time, and I can’t wait to see everyone again,” he says. After an exciting start to the year with this single, there is much more to expect from Maynard in 2022.
- NEW MUSIC: NINA NESBITT | DINNER TABLE
Nina Nesbitt has delivered her new single, "Dinner Table," marking her second outing of 2022. "Dinner Table" follows Nesbitt's February single "When You Lose Someone" and was written with the track's producer Ollie Green (Tom Grennan, Ella Henderson). "Dinner Table" is frank and personal. The slow-churning single details Nesbitt’s relationship with her mother and grandmother while also exploring bits and pieces of who they are. Nesbitt’s grandmother was in love with Elvis in the '50s; Nesbitt’s mother danced along to Bowie in the '80s. Nesbitt says of the new release, "I wrote "Dinner Table" about the three generations of women in my family. It tells the story of the parallels and differences in our lives, growing up in different decades, but the magic of gathering round a table and talking for hours still hasn’t changed." There’s a lot of love throughout, and the chorus ties the memories of all these women together: "Three generations/ Born in different decades," Nesbitt sings. "Some things have changed/ But we got the same old heartbreak." The accompanying video feels like a documentary. Nesbitt heads to her old stomping grounds, using the camera lens to show off old pictures of her family. It provides adorable snapshots of their intimate lives, zeroing in on the dinner table to reflect the song's title. "I recently found my family’s old VHS camera that we used to take on holiday when I was a kid," Nesbitt says. "I figured out how to use it again and thought it would be a perfect way to film the video for 'Dinner Table.' My mum and I flew over to Sweden for my grandmother’s 80th birthday at the end of last year and made her the star of the video, without her knowing."
- NEW MUSIC: THE KID LAROI | THOUSAND MILES
The Kid LAROI is looking for love in all the wrong places as he 18-year-old dropped his new single "Thousand Miles," which he teased the music video that features him starring alongside himself — in a rom-com gone wrong. In the brief, six-second snippet, the rising pop star sits on the end of a bench, licking a chocolate ice cream cone in an all-white suit, when a bright red grand piano drops out of the blue sky onto his head. The new single serves as the rapper’s first follow-up to “Stay,” his No. 1 smash hit with Justin Bieber, which turned out to be the Australia native’s breakout hit and spent seven non-consecutive weeks reigning over the Hot 100 throughout the summer and fall of 2021. Last week, The Kid LAROI made waves with a viral TikTok aiming at former manager Scooter Braun. Set to the tune of his newly released song, the post featured photos of the SB Projects exec — who briefly managed LAROI for a few months in 2021 alongside his rosters of A-list talent like Bieber, Ariana Grande, Tori Kelly and Demi Lovato — and accused him of being the rising star’s “last mistake.” However, Braun soon revealed he was in on the joke, assuring fans the post was simply a publicity stunt taken too seriously and telling his followers via Instagram, “Don’t believe everything you see.” Last year, the singer inked a management deal with Braun’s SB Projects, but he has since parted ways and is now being managed by Adam Leber, who also boasts Lil Nas X as a client. The Kid Laroi hasn't spoken publicly about why he moved on quickly after partnering with SB Projects, but speculation has always made the rounds.
