Mandy Moore has premiered her new single “Little Dreams,” the latest single from her forthcoming full-length studio album "In Real Life," out on May 13 via Verve Forecast. This summer, Moore will headline an extensive tour of North America in support of the new album and her first tour in over a decade. The wildly glittering “Little Dreams,” which features a lavish string arrangement by composer Trey Pollard (Snail Mail, Faye Webster), takes on a heady velocity as Moore pays homage to the tiny moments that make up the patchwork of our lives. The new album "In Real Life" brings a heightened sense of self-possession to Moore’s songwriting, imbuing each track with both detailed storytelling and lucid self-reflection. Produced by Mike Viola (Andrew Bird, Ondara, Lori McKenna), the album expands on the whirlwind creative momentum Moore first set into motion on 2020’s "Silver Landings." To that end, Moore matches the album’s powerful emotional current with a gloriously unpredictable sound, touched with elements of everything from jangly college-rock to cinematic synth-pop to classic singer/songwriter simplicity. Thanks to the charming camaraderie and playful experimentation of Moore and her collaborators—including Goldsmith and his brother/Dawes bandmate Griffin Goldsmith, Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig of Lucius, keyboardist Lee Pardini (The War on Drugs, Aimee Mann), and bassist Sebastian Steinberg (Sharon Van Etten, Phoebe Bridgers) — "In Real Life" embodies a dreamy effervescence even in its most heavy-hearted moments.

Carrie Underwood has revealed the upcoming release of a new studio album for 2022. The country superstar turned to social media early Thursday to share the cover (seen below) and release date for "Denim & Rhinestones," Accompanied by the news comes the release of the title song of the same name, which is a follow-up to the first single “Ghost Story,” that feels mainly like a contemporary production but fits in with Underwood’s appreciation for storytellers like Martina McBride and Reba McEntire. Underwood recently performed the song at the 2022 Grammy Awards, in which she won her eighth career Grammy Award win when she took home the Best Roots Gospel Album trophy for her faith-based project, "My Savior." "Denim and Rhinestones" will be released on June 10th is a special date for Underwood: It was on that date 17 years ago that she made her debut performance on the Grand Ole Opry in 2005, just over two weeks after winning American Idol. During that debut performance, Underwood performed “Inside Your Heaven” (her first release after winning Idol) as well as a rendition of Roy Orbison’s “Crying.” She was later inducted as a member of the Opry on May 10, 2008. "Denim & Rhinestones" is the follow-up to 2018’s "Cry Pretty." Since then, Underwood also released a Christmas album, "My Gift," in 2020 and a Gospel album, My Savior, in 2021. Carrie Underwood recently wrapped another sold-out run of her "Reflection: The Las Vegas Residency" at the Resorts World Theatre. She’ll return to Sin City for her next engagement on May 11-21. On April 30, the mother of two will head to Indio, California, to headline the legendary Stagecoach Festival.

Kylie Minogue has released her "Infinite Disco" Livestream show in which the pop superstar performed tracks from her No. 1 LP "Disco" alongside career classics during the concert, which aired globally back in 2020. It was later included with CD editions of her "Disco Guest List Edition" deluxe repack, and the show is now set for a wider release. A review of "Disco" said the album “comes just in time to help us dance through the darkness and back into the light. "Disco" is packed with upbeat, care-free ’70s inspired dance music – and, frankly, that’s just what we needed right now!” When the touring industry ground to a halt due to the outbreak of COVID-19, artists and labels scrambled to come up with an alternative. Fans could pay a reduced amount to watch a pre-recorded show from the comfort of their own home. The results were mixed. It all just felt a little stale and lifeless without the energy of a live audience. Kylie Minogue, however, cracked the code. The pop icon’s "Infinite Disco" was broadcast on November 7, 2020, and it proved to be a glittering, hit-filled party from beginning to end. The fact that Kylie gave us one long continuous performance — no painful audience interaction, unnecessary costume changes or segmentation — lent the concert a unique sense of intimacy. The hitmaker invited us into her glittery, disco-fabulous world and then guided us. Unity, or, more specifically, the way the dance floor fosters it, was the event's theme, and if only for an hour, life felt normal again.

Singer-songwriter and Olympic-level swimmer Cody Simpson has released his fourth studio album, "Cody Simpson," via his own label, Coast House Records and The Orchard, and Simpson’s first full-length release in six long years. In "Cody Simpson," the titular artist finds himself exploring the existential themes of the everyday human experience. The 12-track record is a life-affirming soundtrack of his evolution: a natural lyricist. “Producing this album not only was a chance to reclaim some innocence — which was temporarily lost in America — but it has an ever so subtle sense of time and place,” says Simpson. “I’m ready for a new chapter in my life. Recording this album and the studio we did it in, with all this richness of history there, was a real cathartic and intrinsic experience.” In November 2020, Simpson took a week out from his disciplined swimming schedule to record and co-produce the album at the celebrated Village Recording Studios in West Hollywood. Drawing on personal influences, including John Mayer and Jack Johnson, the album was arranged in the studio with live musicians, including string and horn sections. Two singles have been released from the album, including the first single, "Nice To Meet You" the aptly titled single was a solid reintroduction to Simpson’s music and his most recent single, "Let Go," which Simpson says is one of his favourite songs from his new album.

Singer, songwriter, and record producer Charlie Puth has released his new single, “That’s Hilarious.” The new song follows his single "Light Switch," which he released in January, and his Elton John collaboration on "After All." "That's Hilarious," which was inspired by a breakup in 2019. In TikTok, Puth, 30, gets candid about his complex feelings tied to the track. "I'm really excited for the song to come out, but every time I hear it, I'm kind of brought back to a time that was really, really, really challenging in my life," he says while growing emotional. "It just rears its ugly head every time — sorry — every time that I hear it." The "Attention" singer continues, "I'm also really excited for you to hear it — but I just heard the master, and it brought me back to 2019, which was the worst f—ing year of my life." "I never told people what happened to me and the pain that I went through, going through the worst breakup of my life in 2019," Puth elaborates. "I just wanted to throw it under the carpet and just start over and surround myself with better people." He concludes, "This is the hardest song that I ever had to put together, and I'm so excited for you to hear it, OK? So, thank you." Though Puth never specifies who he's talking about in the video, in early 2019, Puth has tied to singer-songwriter, Charlotte Lawrence. However, by September of that same year, Puth tweeted that he was single. The musician is currently working on a new album called "Charlie," due out later this year, and it is his most personal work yet.

Multi-Platinum and chart-topping singer, and songwriter, Lauv has returned with a brand-new single entitled "All 4 Nothing (I'm So In Love)" via Virgin Music Label and Artist Services/Universal Music Canada, the country's leading music company. The new song is also the title track of their second full-length album, “Lauv.” With “All 4 Nothing” due for release in August, “Lauv” talks about the inspiration behind “All 4 Nothing (I'm So In Love)” and talks about This love-crazy single, saying, “It's about falling deeply in love with someone when you yourself are learning to love yourself. And there is the fear that one's own unstable mind might shatter true love that will change lives for the better. It is a song that surrenders to love and life.” Directed by “Hannah Lux Davis,” who previously directed the music video for “Ariana Grande, Doja Cat,” the Music Video takes a beautiful moody MV that conveys the light, weightless feeling of someone who is falling in love with. For the first time, “Lauv” also described working with “Hannah Lux Davis,” saying, “Taking a video with “Hannah Lux Davis was an incredible and eye-opening experience. It got me out of the box, and I saw myself as an artist. But she gave me an example of being a true artist. with Hannah's ability to bring those things out to the artists she works with. And this is beyond my wildest dreams of filming the music video for this song.” On his upcoming album “All 4 Nothing,” “Lauv” opened up like never before to showcase his signature sound. He focused on storytelling and creating irresistible immersive works, including nostalgia, conflict, and ultimately building self-confidence.

Alison Wonderland has dropped a new single, "Forever," the opening track from her forthcoming album, "Loner." In the new song, Wonderland's raw, glistening vocals capture the first steps in a life-changing quest that takes her from darkness to light, from chaos to an immutable sense of purpose throughout the album's 12 tracks. "Forever," which she first previewed during her sold-out, multi-night 2021 run at Red Rocks in Colorado below. In the surreal video for "Forever," Alison's "Class of 2022" yearbook photo comes alive. At first, she shyly smiles for the photographer, but soon she is swept into an epic psychedelic light show. In this feature, Forbes observes, "Wonderland is an artist in the word's best sense. Brave, compelling and totally outspoken, and equally thoughtful and gracious." In the Q&A, she reveals how a conversation she had with a friend while sitting in a drive-through line proved to be pivotal - providing not only a refrain for "Forever" but setting the stage for the entire album. Astralwerks will release "Loner" on May 6. "Forever" follows "New Day," which juxtaposes an acoustic guitar redolent of the wild west with ambient elements. "['New Day'] puts resiliency and self-love at the forefront of her narrative; a necessary, integral part of a new chapter...Wonderland delivers sublime electronic finesse," said EUPHORIA. Magazine. Fans who pre-order the digital album will instantly receive "Forever" plus "New Day," "Fear of Dying," "f U LOVE U," and Alison's 2020 hit "Bad Things," which has amassed over 18.6 million combined global streams.

Swedish artist Isak Danielson has released his fourth studio album, "King Of A Tragedy," which is a musical ray of light on the horizon in what are then oppressive Omicron times. In his current music, the blond boy from Sweden deals with the different ideas of masculinity and sexuality, questions stereotypes and enchants with queer aesthetics. Speaking of his new single, "Good Things Come to Those Who Wait," he said, "It is one of the greatest songs I've ever written. It's all about the path to success, to get where you want to be and what you have to sacrifice to get there.” The 21-year-old singer/songwriter has been described as an “old soul in a young man’s body,” and I couldn’t agree more. His voice has been compared to Hozier and Anthony & The Johnsons, but he has said he draws inspiration from artists like Diane Warren, Amy Winehouse, Sam Smith, and Sia. In 2022 Isak will visit UK, Germany, France, and Norway to meet his constantly growing audience. If you like voices like Adele, Sam Smith and Anthony & The Johnsons, you will like Isak Danielson. In 2012, Isak Danielson made headlines when aged just 15; he placed third in Sweden's first season of The X Factor. He honed his songwriting skills and released the single Long Live This Love in 2014 and his independent EP "Volume One." In 2018 he caused a sensation with his first album, "Yours." Dancer and influencer Maddie Ziegler fueled the viral success of "Ending," which was featured on "So You Think You Can Dance" in the US, became a favourite of professional dancers worldwide, and whose music featured in the Marvel series "Cloak and Dagger” was heard.

Four-time Grammy-winning legends Aerosmith have released "Aerosmith - 1971: The Road Starts Hear," a rare and previously unheard rehearsal from 1971, on CD and digital. The effort was originally only available as a limited-edition cassette and vinyl release for Record Store Day in 2021. The heavily sought-after RSD release quickly sold out and debuted on the Billboard 200, hitting No. 2 on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart, No. 12 on the Top Rock Albums chart, and No. 13 on the Vinyl Albums chart, and No. 19 on the Top Album Sales chart. The original tape was not touched in decades, recently discovered in the AEROSMITH vaults. This historic recording features seven extraordinary tracks showcasing the early, unbridled talent of the future Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame members, including a nascent version of "Dream On," which they would later record and release on their 1973 eponymous major-label debut. Aerosmith is one of the few bands to chart with the same song five decades later; the song was a hit in 1973, reaching No. 59 on Billboard's Hot 100, and re-entered the charts in 2020 at No. 4 on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart. "The Road Starts Hear" features early recordings of gems such as "Somebody," "Movin' Out," "Walkin' The Dog," "Mama Kin," and an earlier version of AEROSMITH's classic ballad "Dream On," all of which would later be recorded for their landmark debut. Other tracks include "Reefer Head Woman," which would later be recorded for their 1979 album "Night In The Ruts," and the track "Major Barbara," a song that would be featured on their 1986 release "Classics Live."

She’s back and better than ever as Camila Cabello officially releases her third studio album "Familia," the Spanish word for family. The Latin pop singer has already released two singles, "Don’t Go Yet" and "Bam Bam," a salsa-flecked duet with Ed Sheeran. The Havana-born, Miami-raised singer has leaned into her Cuban-Mexican roots on the album. Two songs on the album, including "Celia," which features her eight-year-old cousin Caro on backing vocals, are sung entirely in Spanish. "No Doubt" and "La Buena Vida" shadow their anguished English lyrics with balmy Latin rhythms. Cabello said once that she’s “the most emo person ever,” and she backs this up with new songs exploring anxiety ("Quiet"), the loneliness of a long-distance relationship ("La Buena Vida") and seething sexual jealousy ("No Doubt"). But it picks up with "Don’t Go Yet," which boasts an anthemic chanted chorus that recalls the Queen of Latin Pop, Gloria Estefan. The title of "Hasta los dientes" loosely translates as "Armed to the Teeth,” but its music offers a slinky spin on Dua Lipa‘s nu-disco sound. On "Psychofreak," a chart-bound collaboration with Willow, proves it’s still possible to write an innovative and original song about mental health in 2022. Cabello even attempts a socially conscious character study about a marginalized young woman from the country where she was born on "Lola," a folky ballad that features Cuban singer Yotuel. The lyrics may lack the pin-sharp specificity of other songs here, but it’s tender and affecting nonetheless. By digging deeper into her heritage and psyche, Cabello has created her richest and most compelling album.

The title of Banks’ fourth album, "Serpentina," speaks to a kind of reinvention. Conjuring up imagery of a snake shedding its skin, it’s fitting for a record that sees the Californian artist switch things up. This is the first time she’s released an album via AWAL, the Sony-back label that aims to help artists maintain creative independence; she takes complete control of the production, her trademark sound fused with new genres. This reinvention is coupled with resilience – "Serpentina" first started to take shape after a series of personal struggles. In 2019, Banks released her stellar third album, "III," but the ensuing tour proved brutal. Banks was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease – an autoimmune disorder – and suffering from a fractured spine, Banks found life on the road extremely tough. When she arrived home in early 2020, she suffered from anxiety attacks. Banks has curated a distinctive, electronic alt-R&B soundscape throughout her past three records: lush vocals and woozy production accompanying unafraid lyrics. Here, her signature sound benefits from new influences. The aforementioned "Spirit’" a collaboration with New York-based singer-songwriter SAMOHT, is a gorgeous, gospel-indebted cut; "The Devil," meanwhile, evokes the hushed electro-pop of Billie Eilish‘s ‘Bad Guy.’ The production is typically dramatic: trappy beats are combined with bleeping synths ("Fuck Love"’) and chanted vocals gradually build over handclaps ("Meteorite"). For the most part, "Serpentina" is a welcome reintroduction to the artist and a cathartic ode to doing things her way.

Alicia Keys has released a solo version of “City of Gods,” her recent collaboration with Fivio Foreign and Kanye West. Keys’ version of the track — which, like “City of Gods,” interpolates the chorus of The Chainsmokers’ “New York City” — combines the singer’s signature jazz-tinged piano progressions with the trap-inspired backing beat of the song featured on "Donda 2." “City of gods, city of dreams/City where nothing is never what it seems,” Keys sings in the opening verse. “They’ll never take you away from me/’Cause I see nothing but infinity.” In her " Ellen " performance, she paid homage to the Big Apple in her "Ellen" performance, playing a grand piano in front of a glowing New York City skyline backdrop. The stripped-down music video accompanying the track’s release features Keys decked out in full glam while posing alongside Mercedes’ Vision EQ Silver Arrow concept car. Keys, a brand ambassador for the German auto manufacturer, has made several appearances in Mercedes advertisements and performed at a launch event for the brand’s line of electric vehicles in November. Rapper Slick Rick also makes a cameo in the clip, placing several impressive articles of bling around Keys’ neck. The song is her first release since becoming an independent artist, as she got out of her contract last year following the release of her eighth studio album, "Keys."

18-year-old Canadian singer Sophia Fracassi is up to date with the single "I lied." It will be the singer's fourth single after releasing her debut "Wish I never met you" last year. The new single is about the fact that it's actually okay not to really know what to do next or even to know who to trust if even oneself. The singer talks about the single. "This song was written from the storm's center, but I came out, and I want every listener to know that there is always hope, as long as you choose it." Everything is produced in a strong pop song that is nicely built up from a piano to blossom into a great chorus where the singer's voice can be at the center. A song that had definitely come a long way in the Melodifestivalen and that fits nicely in the more mature radio channels. “My dynamic new song, 'I Lied,' was written during a particularly rough patch in my mental health last year. I was slowly unboxing the emotions I had been feeling and finding the roots of my struggles with anxiety and depression,” Sophia Fracassi said of the song. “This song is like a culmination of the thoughts, feelings, and memories that led up to a personal mental breaking point. I had to stop running around in circles, pretending I was okay, and acknowledge the pain I was feeling to be true. It was really the first step to healing again.” She continued, “Most of all, I want listeners to know that it's okay not to know what to do; next, it's okay not to be sure who to trust, or if you can even fully trust yourself. This song was written from the centre of the storm, but I got out, and I want every listener to know there is always, always hope, so long as you choose it.”

Natalie Shay is an indie-pop artist hailing from North London. The multi-award-winning musician has established an ever-growing presence and loyal fanbase through her explosive live performances and unforgettable anthems, recognizing her as one of the UK’s hottest emerging talents. Her relatable lyrics touch on love, self-discovery and the everyday experiences of a twenty-something. Written in South West London with her longtime friend Joseph Wander, Shay has released her vibrant new single “Two Sparks,” which serves as the follow-up to “New Wave,” released last September. The track navigates the demise of a long-term relationship, realizing that the romance and fire have been extinguished. Shay admits, writing from personal experience, “It’s honest and autobiographical; I wanted to write about something a bit deeper and more complex, something more relatable to anyone at any age in any relationship, whether it’s your high school sweetheart or your married partner.” Listening to the raw instrumentation and mature vocals on Taylor Swift’s re-released albums throughout the first wave of the pandemic, Shay felt a swirl of inspiration, wanting “Two Sparks” to adopt a similar timeless arrangement, the track achieving a clean and crisp audio and production. The dynamic pop melodies and poised soundscape give way to Shay’s angelic vocals, making this single the perfect ballad to sing along to in the car.

Montreal-born, Los Angeles-based indie R&B artist Sara Diamond has continued growing and evolving her sound. Diamond has now released her new single “Lovin’ From You”, the fast-rising star boasts a Billboard-ready R&B sound that brings out the sensual-pop stylings of the genre. Featuring a well-placed interlude from rapper Nick Grant, “Lovin’ From You” is easy to love alongside the likes of Amber Mark and Jazmine Sullivan. The song is taken from her upcoming EP, which is expected to be released in 2022 and written by Corey Cohen, Jon Cohen, Sara Diamond, Nick Grant and Tally Marguilles—produced by Jon Cohen and DJ COCO. “'Lovin' From You' (feat. Nick Grant) is a provocative, sexy song about longing for a lover's affection in a playful way. The lyrics evoke a feeling of sensuality, being totally honest and loud about lov,” Sara Diamond said of the song. “The visuals connect to a 4-part story from my forthcoming EP inspired by empowerment, love, and letting go of inhibitions. This segment involves the deep subconscious, exploring themes of lust, delusion, and heightened emotions.” She continued, “'Lovin' From You' is my first track with a feature! I'm very excited and grateful that Nick jumped on to give a different perspective. We hope it gets you singing and vibing.” In 2016, Sara released her first single, "Just Give In." The song premiered on music blog Noisey, which helped garner a buzz and led to multiple mentions and writeups.

With the help of Jim Carrey and HoYeon Jung from Squid Game, The Weeknd has truly outdone himself in his new music video for his song "Out of Time." The song is included on his fifth studio album, “Dawn FM,” which was released back in January. The track itself is one of several from "Dawn FM" to feature contributions from Carrey, who also closes out the album’s standard edition sequencing with the uniquely moving spoken-word piece “Phantom Regret by Jim.” In January, Carrey told fans he was “thrilled to play a part in [The Weeknd’s] symphony.” The scene momentarily rivals Machine Gun Kelly's Bloody Valentine video. HoYeon and The Weeknd are taking turns belting verses to one another in a performative way, similar to that of lovers Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly in his respective video. Last month, dates were revealed for The Weeknd’s After Hours Til Dawn stadium tour featuring special guest Doja Cat, who recently won a Grammy alongside SZA and has been in headlines as of late in connection with comments made about quitting music. The first leg of the After Hours Til Dawn trek begins in July at the Rogers Centre in Toronto and wraps in September at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. The route will also be taking Abel and Doja to Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, Miami and more.

Bryan Adams has re-recorded a selection of his biggest hits and deep cuts for a new release. Weeks after dropping his 15th LP, "So Happy It Hurts," the singer-songwriter shared "Classic" across digital platforms as the first part of a series of similar projects. Kicking off with four of his biggest hits – "Summer of ‘69," "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You," "Heaven," and "Run To You" – the recordings breathe new life into the tracks, bringing the instrumentation up to date and showcasing his ageless vocals. More notably, they highlight the timelessness of the tracks, which, decades on, sound as fresh and contemporary as they did upon their original release. Also featured on ‘Classic’ is a new take on his ‘93 single "Please Forgive Me," the lesser-known cuts "Straight From The Heart" and "Hidin’ From Love," and "Teacher Teacher" – initially released by 38 Special in ‘84. There are no drastic overhauls for the arrangements; bar the odd adlib here and there. Still, the quality of the recordings is undeniably more significant than the original cuts, owing to advancements in technology. The album is available in both stereo and spatial audio. The concept of re-recording one’s catalogue is nothing new. In recent years Taylor Swift has revisited her album series for a similar project – to which Bryan himself has compared his latest venture. Just why he felt compelled to embark on this career-spanning task is unclear, but we're already hungry for more, given the quality of part one.

Singer-songwriter Blu DeTiger unveils her irresistible new single “Hot Crush Lover.” A Dill Kindrick-directed music video accompanies the pop anthem arrives, packed with childhood nostalgia and carefree cool. Pastel pop and bodega candy serve as the backdrop for Blu’s surprisingly slimy performance. “Hot Crush Lover,” her first single since 2021’s “Blondes,” is produced by Grammy Award-winning producer John Hill and co-written by Lowell. Opening with an energetic scream, the record weaves her tight signature baseline through a glossy pop-landscape and undeniably catchy hooks. The three-minute cut “Hot Crush Lover’ is about letting go and opening yourself up to the possibility of meeting someone else. It’s about snapping out of how you’re feeling, gaining some confidence, and learning to have fun and live your life uninhibited,” Blue says. She continues, “The video is meant to reflect this feeling. It’s wild, colourful, fun, to the point where eventually I’m dripping in slime.” This spring, DeTiger is scheduled to play several live performances across the US and Europe, including stops at major music festivals such as Bonnaroo, Great Escape, and Governor’s Ball. DeTiger released her debut single, "In My Head," on January 23, 2019. The Knocks produced it, and she subsequently toured with them. She went viral by playing bass on TikTok during the COVID-19 lockdowns, covering songs by artists like Prince, Janet Jackson, Russ, and Megan Thee Stallion.

Rising artist Lizzy McAlpine has joined forces with Grammy-Award winner FINNEAS for her new track "Hate To Be Lame." The track appears on McAlpine's forthcoming album, five seconds flat, set for release this Friday, April 8. Produced by Philip Etherington and Ehren Ebbage, the 14-track album was recorded in Eugene, OR and at The Laundry Pile in Los Angeles. Five seconds flat also includes contributions from Grammy-Award winner Jacob Collier, Ben Kessler, and Laura Elliott. McAlpine's previously released singles "erase me," "doomsday," "all my ghosts," and "reckless driving" continue to receive praise; NPR Music featured "doomsday" in their All Things Considered New Mix, while Teen Vogue declared, "The Philadelphia-based songstress charges on the dark, mid-tempo track." In addition, McAlpine performed on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," the follow-up to her U.S. television debut on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!." Following her extensive run of North American tour dates with Dodie, McAlpine confirms an album release show at Los Angeles' Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever Cemetery on Friday, April 8. McAlpine takes five seconds flat in a bold new direction, using her evocative lyrics to create a story arc about heartbreak. The new music finds McAlpine stepping into her own as an artist, building on her past while looking toward the future. "I want to give my fans something different with each record because I'm different each record," notes McAlpine. "I want to always be growing and moving forward as an artist."
