Katy Perry appeared on SNL last night as the musical guest. She performed her latest single, "When I'm Gone," adorned in fringed red chaps and a mushroom hat, while her background dancers were dressed as mushrooms with black and white fans. The song features Swedish DJ Alesso, who has worked with Hailee Steinfeld, Tove Lo, Liam Payne, and more. The song was released on December 29th, 2021, while the music video came out on January 10th. Perry also sang her song, "Never Really Over," debuted on May 31st, 2019. Katy Perry returned to the "Saturday Night Live" performance stage for the fourth time last night. Perry’s Las Vegas residency kicked off on December 29, taking over The Theatre at Resorts World resort/casino until mid-March. The opening night of the over-the-top show saw Perry roll out a 16-foot-tall toilet, ride a giant snail and more. Perry said about the production: “A lot of my shows have been figuratively larger than life. But I play a doll in this show, so this thing is three times the size of me.”

Kyle’s who is formerly known as K.i.D, an acronym for Kyle is Determined last album, "See You When I Am Famous!!!!!!!!!!!!," arrived in the summer of 2020, with features from Rich The Kid, K Camp, Bryson Tiller, Trippie Redd, Tyga, and more. The rapper initially considered delaying the release due to the pandemic, but he changed his mind. A year and a half later, Kyle is ready to deliver another work, this time with a twist: He has dropped his fifth project, "It’s Not So Bad," and explained how it would be a little bit different. “IT’S NOT SO BAD – MY FIFTH PROJECT – JAN 28th,” he tweeted. “Instead of splitting the royalties with the label, I’ll be selling this project as an NFT to allow my fans to own this project with me. We’re in this together. Forever & Ever. [two hearts emoji].” Kyle's latest single, “Perfect,” and just like much of his discography, the track is a light-hearted upbeat release that finds him celebrating the arrival of an ideal companion in his life. The song joins previous releases like “Love Me Like You Say You Love Me,” “Optimistic” with Dougie F, and “Sunday.” Kyle also announced his I Miss U Tour for 2022. Kyle will be accompanied by singers Col3trane and Leven Kali across the string of shows that begin on February 10 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and continue into March before he wraps things up in Ventura, California, where he grew up.

British singer & songwriter Ella Henderson released an acoustic version of her latest single, “Brave.” The track is an anthem about staying vital for the people in your life you care most about. In the context of the music video, this person is a child. Still, Henderson purposefully navigates the waters of the song to avoid mentioning precisely what kind of relationship this is about. This keeps it as ambiguous as it needs to be to reach a broad audience, and the song works better for it. Sonically, “Brave” takes direction from modern pop anthems to create something that gives hope to those who need it. The song centers around a piano, and the beat is minimalist to allow the lyrics to be the primary focus of the listener. The melodies are infectious for two main reasons: one, of course, is to make the song itself memorable, but two is to keep the lyrics' message inside a listener’s head long after the song is over. In the lyrics, “Brave” is written as powerfully as it needs to be. The aforementioned purposeful ambiguity works to Henderson’s advantage, and the way she wrote this to be both ambiguous and meaningful is incredible. It manages to be specific and universal simultaneously, which is hard to do. Overall, Ella Henderson’s “Brave” is a strong pop ballad about remaining brave in the face of adversity for those around you who may need it.

Ella Mai is finally back with new music after a two-year hiatus. The R&B star has dropped the music video for her single “DFMU,” which stands for “Don’t f*ck me up. Following her 2020 track “Not Another Love Song,” “DFMU” features a similar beat to her chart-topping “Boo’d Up.” “Don’t fuck me up, don’t let me down/You know I wanna be around/You tugging warring with my heart/Didn’t think it’d ever be so hard/Crazy I’m letting down my guard,” she sings in the first half of the chorus with her signature velvety vocals. Following her 2020 track “Not Another Love Song,” “DFMU” features a similar beat to her chart-topping “Boo’d Up.” “Don’t fuck me up, don’t let me down/You know I wanna be around/You tugging warring with my heart/Didn’t think it’d ever be so hard/Crazy I’m letting down my guard,” she sings in the first half of the chorus with her signature velvety vocals. Ella Mai’s 2018 debut album scored multiple R&B smashed and earned the British singer-songwriter a Grammy; then, relative silence for numerous years.

Lease Rewind/Atlantic Records recording artist officially releases a deluxe edition of his debut album, "Feel Something." The album, which was initially released back in 2017 and was composed of 12 tracks as with the deluxe edition, has an additional three new tracks that include two previously released tracks, "Happiest Year." an acoustic version of "Infinity" and a new track titled "Nothing Holy." "Feel Something" also features streaming hits “I’ll Be Good” and “We Won’t” (feat. Phoebe Ryan).” Previously included on 2014’s “Habits Of My Heart” EP, “I’ll Be Good” is Jaymes’ biggest single thus far with over 30 million streams and a companion video which is approaching nearly 20 million views. The track and video as both a “gorgeous sadcore single” and “an equally heart-wrenching video it’s a scorching, introspective clip, with muted colours and surreal shots of fish swimming in IV bags.” “We Won’t” reached #1 on Hype Machine boasts over 30 million streams worldwide. Young’s music has always had this evocative pop glaze about it – a vibrant shine that has as much to do with his compelling singing voice as it does the instrumentation he uses to supplement. Yet the magic of "Feel Something" lies in its ability to make us, the listener, really feel something: Anxiety and doubt, lust and desire, love and affection – these elemental emotions jump out across a meticulously-crafted record engineered as a vessel of, and for emotional release.

Canadian musician Jann Arden said writing her newest album in the middle of the pandemic gave her "a lot of time to be reflective." The writing process for her newly released album "Descendant," Arden's 15th studio album, began in the spring of 2020, in the early days of the global outbreak of COVID-19. Arden said the concept for "Descendant" was born out of those connections to her family, including her mother, who has Alzheimer's, and the strong women who came before her. But those pining for a new project by order of Canada recipient and eight-time Juno Award winner had their hunger appeased and one that sounds relatively different from what you might expect from the musician who gave us such classics as “I Would Die for You,” “Could I Be Your Girl,” “Good Mother” and “Insensitive.” There’s a flow to such tracks as “Unbreakable” and “Moonbow” that permeates the uplifting arrangements, although not all of the songs are necessarily positive in their lyrics. Produced by Bob Rock, Russell Broom and Jann Arden, "Descendant" arrives as a 15-song collection representing the last 18 months of Arden’s life and headspace. A bold, beautiful, and empowering sound of Jann Arden, "Descendant" signifies a return to form, reflecting on where she came from and where she is headed. The album is preceded by the heartfelt song “Steady On.”

R&B favourite Pink Sweat$, has officially kicked off the new year with his album entitled "Pink Moon." he kicked it off formally by releasing the first single, “Nothing Feels Better” single. "Nothing Feels Better" was greeted by immediate applause from such outlets, which wrote, "With a crisp, almost acoustic sound, Sweat$ sweetly sings an ode to his lover with atmospheric 'ooh's and 'ahh's to set the mood." UPROXX agreed, writing, "The singer's near-acoustic sound serves as the landscape for a romantic message to a partner he's head over heels for as their love helped him 'realize I'm right where I should be.'"The new offering follows his debut project "Pink Planet," which he dropped off around Valentine’s Day last year. Also, last year, Pink Sweat$ joined PnB Rock and Swae Lee for their collab track “Forever Never.” Pink Sweat$ just recently ended his landmark North American headline tour. The Pink Moon Tour began November 5th through mid-December. Pink Sweat$ rose to popularity as one of the R&B artists to make sure to follow thanks to his breakthrough project "Volume 1," as well as the hit single “Honesty,” and then the subsequent "Volume 2," which earned him a “Best New Artist” nomination at last year’s Soul Train Awards. Afterwards, he followed those two EPs with a third titled "The Prelude," boasting seven tracks from the Philadelphia talent and his “17” single.

Billy Talent's highly-anticipated album "Crisis Of Faith" dropping in just two weeks, the Canadian punk titans have shared another brilliant new song titled "Judged." The explosive, infectious new effort follows the release of Forgiveness I + II, Reckless Paradise and End Of Me featuring Rivers Cuomo and gives a fresh taste of what to expect from the follow-up to 2016's Afraid Of Heights. Frontman Benjamin Kowalewicz told Kerarang! about working with the band on the album, “Something we've been talking a lot about recently is that we're experiencing people passing way, and we have friends and family who have been taken ill. You deal with these things as they come to you. Now more so than ever, we're just feeling gratitude and appreciation that, after this long, we're still together. It's something we don't take lightly, we feel very privileged and fortunate to still be able to be doing it.” "Crisis Of Faith" will also include the band’s recent collaboration with Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo, ‘End Of Me,’ as well as the singles "Reckless Paradise," "I Beg to Differ (This Will Get Better)," and "Forgiveness I + II." The follow-up to 2016’s "Afraid Of Heights" was produced by guitarist Ian D’Sa and recorded in Billy Talent’s Toronto studio. Billy Talent is set to return to the UK for three shows in May, following several North American shows with Pup and Rise Against in February and April.

“1000 Forms of Fear” was Australian singer Sia’s first album in four years – and her first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 – is the most representative collection of both her quirks and talents. It’s stuffed with more pop hooks than even she and go-to collaborator Greg Kurstin (Pink, Lily Allen) know what to do with, as evidenced on “Free the Animal,” who has to interrupt herself mid-verse to get to the teeth-gnashing chorus practically. But there’s also plenty of emotional depth and moments of uncomfortable intimacy, like the melancholy ballad “Cellophane,” which hints at a friend preventing her attempted suicide shortly after the release of 2010’s “We Are Born.” With so many outstanding song credits under her belt, it’s no surprise Sia’s sixth studio album is chock-full of hits. From its start with the single “Chandelier” to its end with “Dressed In Black,” the singer/songwriter has managed to create one of her best releases. Sia’s already stellar vocals soar even higher through the 12-song effort, giving her powerful lyrics the perfect vehicle to drive themselves into the hearts of fans. "1000 Forms of Fear" isn’t quite the emotionally charged endeavour it wants to be. “Straight for the Knife” seems to confront her past suicidal state directly, but the relatively straightforward melody of the ballad and the lackadaisical delivery keep the song from being profoundly moving; instead of nestling safely into the middle-of-the-road pop, Sia seems so focused on rising above. Some songs on the collection do manage this. “Hostage” is an upbeat throwback to decades past as if electronic dance music never existed and doing a fast, fun, rock and roll song was still commonplace for a pop singer—it kind of rules. “Elastic Heart,” which previously used The Weeknd and Diplo to perfect ends, allowing them to enhance her presence, manages to work in a less-guest-indebted variation. Of the slow songs, “Eye of the Needle” addresses her polarizing vocal ability with clenched fists, allowing her the freedom to wail unintelligibly as much as she wants and somehow make it work. Simplicity and predictability aren’t always negatives in pop, as long as some other areas make up for the songwriting’s struggles. The lead single “Chandelier” might exemplify the disconnect between Sia’s detractors and supporters. Yes, it is an exciting pop song in that it comes across as relaxed and charged simultaneously, but, you know, on the other hand, it sounds like Evanescence. There is a cheeseball element to Sia’s album here that pops up again on the over-the-top “Feed the Animal” and “Fire Meet Gasoline,” where the simplicity and predictability don’t have any particular saving grace. They exist solely to be in a movie trailer or an NBA on TNT promo or something like that, and they weigh down the collection with their dead weight. When listening to "1000 Forms Of Fear," you can hear how strong Furler’s influence is on the pop stars with whom she works. On “Diamonds,” Rihanna’s voice sounds transformed, with the diphthongs coming out as if her mouth was being manipulated to move in a foreign way. (The tracks from Christina Aguilera’s "Bionic" that Furler co-wrote and acted as “vocal producer” have a similar feel.) “Chandelier,” the opener of "1000 Forms Of Fear," has a thudding beat identical to “Diamonds.” Still, more importantly, Furler’s voice curls around each syllable, rendering some of the lyrics nearly unrecognizable as obscure words. While fear does showcase some brassy belting similar to the kind she lent to “Titanium” and “Wild Ones,” Sia’s voice elsewhere shows off its weirder side, stretching words to their pronounceable limits, turning stanzas into Silly Putty. It takes a bit of getting used to, but once it clicks, it makes "Fear" conceptually more robust; it’s a lot easier, after all, to sing of all those ways "Fear" can manifest itself when the words used to describe the emotion can only be understood after deep listening. Lush, dark production abounds on "1000 Forms Of Fear," compliments of Greg Kurstin, who’s recently worked with similarly complex pop stars like Tegan & Sara and Pink. "Fear" sounds like a chunk of the human emotional spectrum committed to record, Echoing his collaborations with those artists. It’s an album designed for playing late at night; even peppier tracks like the popping-piston “Burn The Pages” and the jittery “Hostage” have a darkness to them. That darkness might not make Sia the world’s hugest pop star, but it sure makes her one of its more compelling ones.

Alesso and Katy Perry have dropped their new music video for their electro-pop dance single “When I’m Gone.” The clip premiered during halftime at Monday night’s 2022 College Football Playoff National Championship game, marking the first time ESPN has premiered a music video during a live broadcast. The Hannah Lux Davis-directed visual opens on Perry in a phone booth, declaring, “I just think it’s time to give them everything they want,” before she and the Swedish producer navigate and dance their way through a futuristic world. “When it comes to my music videos, we all know I like to push the boundaries and myself and create unique opportunities for my fans to see them,” Perry said in a statement. “ESPN and especially College GameDay hold a special place in my heart, so partnering with Alesso to become the first artists to ever debut a global music video within a live event on ESPN made for a perfect and natural pairing.” “When I’m Gone” is Perry and Alesso’s first collaboration, and it’s the second single Perry released in 2021 following “Electric,” which dropped in May as part of the Pokémon 25 soundtrack. Alesso’s dropped four singles last year, including “Chasing Stars,” collaborating with Marshmello featuring James Bay. Perry is amid her Las Vegas residency, Katy Perry: Play, at The Theatre at Resorts World Last Vegas, which kicked off on New Year’s Eve.

14-year-old emerging artist Mia Baron shares her new single, “Miss Emotionless.” The Canadian singer-songwriter Mia Baron is probably the most talented singer-songwriter her age on the planet, and after a solid 2021 she’s ready to make waves in the music industry with another stunning single “Miss Emotionless”. She delivers another breathtaking vocal performance— she draws you in with relatable lyrics that tell listeners to stay true to who they are. You don’t have to act the way others expect if it’s something that is unnatural to you. It’s okay to be different – just accept it and be yourself. Special mention to the chorus adds a beautiful intensity to a song whose production does not suffer from any taste. Her fifth original single, "Miss Emotionless," is an R&B song mixed with pop and delicious electronic elements that bring big stars like Madison Beer to mind. A few years ago, Mia Baron began pursuing music by recording covers of her favourite songs and posting them on social media. She has spent the past year working on and releasing original music. According to Baron, she discovered her passion for singing about four years ago, performing in her school’s choir. Her love for singing made Baron realize she wanted to pursue a career in music. She recently released her debut single “Hide and Seek” back in May 2021, co-written with Matt Kahane and Quin Kiu.

The Chainsmokers are back with a refreshing remix after a 2-year hiatus from releasing music. Jumping into 2022, Alex and Drew decided to rework Bon Iver’s 2011 cover of Bonnie Raitt’s 1991 hit "I Can’t Make You Love Me." Their version of the iconic tune puts an electric twist on an already well-crafted piece. The Chainsmokers ‘I Can’t Make You Love Me’ remix starts with harmonious vocals that lead to an uplifting drop. Alex and Drew’s latest cover was a long-awaited return for their dedicated fans. Two years ago, the New York DJs chose to step back from the limelight and put complete focus on their upcoming album. Now, this most recent release gives listeners a glimpse of what’s to come in 2022. According to "Dancing Astronaut," the "I Can’t Make You Love Me" remix is “a gift for your patience” as they wrap up their album. The original version of “I Can't Make You Love Me” was released by American singer-songwriter and guitarist Bonnie Raitt in 1991. Also, in the original version, American singer-songwriter and pianist Bruce Hornsby had played the piano. The track appeared on her eleventh studio album “Luck of the Draw.” It was written by Mike Reid and Allen Shamblin. On 27 November 2016, the Grammy Hall of Fame announced its induction and another 24 songs.

MARINA has recently released the expanded deluxe edition of her acclaimed album, "Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land," via Neon Gold/Atlantic Records. Now she has dropped the music video for the track "Happy Loner," written by MARINA and co-produced by James Flannigan and Brendan Walter. MARINA said of the song, “The weird thing is. I wrote 'Happy Loner' in Jan 2020. And now I can't relate to it anymore... but that's the great thing about music. It can have a transformative quality. I've changed my life many times just by writing or listening to a song and acknowledging a problem.” Along with “Happy Loner,” "Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land (Deluxe Edition)" includes two additional new songs plus two exclusive never-before-heard demos. MARINA’s self-penned fifth studio album – which sees MARINA co-producing five tracks alongside songwriter/producer James Flanigan and GRAMMY® Award-nominated Jennifer Decilveo – is highlighted by such songs as “Man’s World,” “Purge The Poison,” “Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land,” and “Venus Fly Trap.” MARINA embarks on “Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land Tour 2022” in the US, the UK and Europe. The tour kicks off at The Masonic in San Francisco on February 2, 2022.

Placebo has released another cut from their forthcoming album "Never Let Me Go," sharing a new single titled "Try Better Next Time." The anthemic track features pulsating guitar riffs underneath Brian Molko’s distinctive vocals, as the frontman sings of the end of the world we know and the potential for what might come next. “It is not the end of the world, only the end of humanity, a distinction that in our overblown hubris we are unable to detect,” Molko commented. “Mother Nature has grown extremely weary of us. Try Better Next Time.” The follow-up to 2013’s "Loud Like Love," "Never Let Me Go" – announced back in November 2021 alongside news of a UK and European tour – marks Placebo’s first new album in almost a decade. Placebo has already released two singles from ‘Never Let Me Go’ – "Surround By Spies" and "Beautiful James," the latter of which marked the band’s first single in five years. Molko stated that the upcoming album deals with themes of climate change, extreme inequality and society under constant surveillance. However, he said he didn’t have all the answers and “wanted to express something visceral, something very human.” Placebo's forthcoming eighth studio album, "Never Let Me Go," is slated for release on March 25.

An artist who shared one of the best songs of 2021 with her infectious "Thank God You Introduced Me To You Sister," Sarah Barrios has returned and is better than ever with her latest tune, ‘We Don’t Have To Die.’ The song is a striking pop-punk ballad about facing one’s morality, and the song is complete with flourishes of acoustic guitar, rhythmic drums, and a skittering trap beat. Barrios has officially moved from a rising pop-punk star to a future genre icon with' We Don't Have To Die. Originally from Torrington, Connecticut, the LA transplant began writing songs when she was 13 “after a particularly boring day at home,” she recalls. “And I haven’t stopped writing since then. I’ve always loved storytelling and how music can transport you to a different world. Finding new and interesting ways to craft my own stories out of thin air feels so magical to me.” Describing her music as “honest, fantastical, and alive,” Barrios draws from a vast spring of influences, from such authors as Jane Austen to landmark musicians Fleetwood Mac, Jon Bellion, and Paramore. “Thank God You Introduced Me to Your Sister,” with its brazenly punk-pop aesthetic, certainly lives up to the hype, combing these reference points and jetting into her musical sphere. In addition to her growing solo catalogue, Barrios has worked with Bonnie McKee, Becky G, Why Don’t We, Andy Grammer, Zara Larsson, and many others.

The Weeknd has released a remix of "Dawn FM" single ‘Sacrifice’ with Swedish House Mafia, who co-produced the original track. This rework of ‘Sacrifice’ doubles down on the vintage disco-inspired sound that characterizes ‘Dawn FM.’ It introduces drums that sound closer to the song’s original Alicia Myers sample, 1981’s "I Want to Thank You," which build up to sections that capture the euphoric sound of Swedish House Mafia. This new remix arrived today (January 12) with a new music video that takes The Weeknd – real name Abel Tesfaye – away from the original single’s darkened music video’s darkened chamber into an indoor basketball court culminating a dance sequence of flashy voguing. The remix is part of a new edition of his latest album titled "Dawn FM (Alternate World)." Last year, the trio of Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso teamed up with The Weeknd on the single "Moth To A Flame," which is the final track on ‘Dawn FM (Alternate World).’ Also included on the new edition of the album is a remix of ‘Take My Breath’ by melodic techno duo Agents of Time. The Weeknd’s fifth studio album ‘Dawn FM’ was released last Friday (January 7), serving as the sequel to his 2020 full-length album "After Hours."

Canadian-born Muslim has been an OG of the online, modest fashion community since she began posting her outfits on Instagram in 2016 and has since amassed a loyal following of 139K followers on Instagram and 346K on TikTok. Her striking, edgy style that plays with layers and fabrics has provided us with outfit inspiration for many years, but now, she is turning her attention to music. Nemah has not been shy of sharing her rich vocals on social media, releasing successful covers of songs such as "Back to Black" by Amy Winehouse and "No Tears to Cry" by Ariana Grande. Last year. She released her much-anticipated debut single, "What if I Took it Off For You?" and we have had it on repeat ever since. The track is the first song Nemahsis ever wrote, fitting that it’s her first single. It deals with her experience getting screwed over by a multimillion-dollar corporation that refused to pay her for a campaign. The song examines the fallout after the brand ignored her and used the images, analyzing Nemahsis’ emotions and identity through the soulful, dynamic ballad. She then released her single "Paper Thin," a brooding guitar ballad, exploring the insecurities a young Nemahsis faced while growing up. Conflicted by her appearance, Nemah would pray to God to change her appearance. “I was taught to pray for whatever you want, and God will provide. I wasted two decades begging for fairer skin and lighter eyes; it became routine,” says Memphis. “I spent the majority of my life hating the features I currently love most about myself.” A display of her intimate storytelling, "Paper Thin," is the outcome of Nemah overcoming her internal battles and learning to love herself. Her angelic tone is simply divine, but what makes her music so special is her lyrics. Nemahsis is a fresh talent who grew up on a farm outside of Toronto. Before entering the music world, she was a Grade A business student and worked for a cosmetics giant. The quiet storm of her vocals has already found a massive audience across social media. Equipped with memorable songs and poignant lyrics, "Paper Thin" is another soul-baring track from the emerging singer/songwriter. With plenty of new material to come from Nemahsis, including her upcoming release, "Dollar Signs," is anything to go by, there’s a lot more greatness where that came from.

Taylor Swift released the highly anticipated album "Red (Taylor's Version)" on Nov. 12, and she did not disappoint. Now she has released a six-track EP titled "Could Be The One Chapter" that includes "Message In A Bottle" from the vault, "State Of Grace," "Treacherous," "Everything Has Changed," "Starlight," and "Begin Again." Swift’s 2012 album, “Red,” was the ultimate autumn soundtrack that intricately tells the story of a 22-year-old Swift grieving one of her first loves and finding her way through all the magic and misery of being in her early twenties. “Red” was Swift’s first album to break into the full-blown pop genre with its singles, but she still kept in touch with her country roots on the album’s deep cuts. In 2019, the master recordings of Swift’s first six albums were sold by her former record label’s president Scott Borchetta without her permission to music manager Scooter Braun, despite her protests and requests to have the opportunity to purchase the songs she wrote. This prompted her to begin re-recording these albums earlier this year with the re-release of "Fearless," her sophomore album from 2008, in April. "Red (Taylor's Version)" broke several streaming records upon release. It became the most-streamed album in a day from a female artist on Spotify, with more than 90.8 million global opening-day streams, surpassing the previous record of 80.6 million by Swift's 2020 "Folklore." The album moved over 1.2 million copies globally in its first week.

Cat Power has released a new album of covers — succinctly dubbed "Covers" — and she’s dropped two tracks from the LP, renditions of Frank Ocean’s “Bad Religion” and the Pogues’ “A Pair of Brown Eyes.” For her cover of “Bad Religion,” On 2000’s "The Covers Record," she found new elegance in trad-rock and butch blues – from the Rolling Stones’ ‘Satisfaction’ to The Velvet Underground’s ‘I Found A Reason’ – before doubling down on 2008’s "Jukebox," which made woozy inroads into country and folk with torchy and twinkling takes on classics by Hank Williams, Joni Mitchell and country blues legend Jessie Mae Hemphill. Initially an answer to a time in Marshall’s life when she felt more at ease singing other people’s songs than her own, her cover versions now possess a strength all of their own, with the self-produced ‘Covers’ setting itself apart from its predecessors by veering into the modern mainstream. Here material by Frank Ocean ("Bad Religion") and Lana Del Rey (‘White Mustang’) appears alongside the more long-established likes of Nick Cave (‘I Had A Dream, Joe’), Jackson Browne (‘These Days’) and The Pogues (‘A Pair of Brown Eyes’). Marshall has carefully selected each song to reflect a personal memory. Cover records are often dismissed as simply a bit of fun or as an indulgent aside from an artists’ original output, but when Cat Power does it, it’s nothing less than soul-nourishing.

Chart-topping, genre-bending artist Oliver Tree announces his eagerly awaited new album, Cowboy Tears, via Atlantic Records. Embracing a unique twangy, country sound, the upcoming project will be released on February 18th. The first single off "Cowboy Tears," titled “Cowboys Don’t Cry,” alongside an accompanying video starring Bella Thorne. Over sparse and breezy lo-fi production, Tree's voice glides towards a catchy chorus, singing, "Riding around this carousel, if you catch my drift," before lamenting, "Love is like a circle, there's no easy way to end." "Cowboys are the toughest guys. It's okay for us tough guys to cry, and the thing is, it's okay for everyone to cry," Tree explains. "There's a lot of anger that comes out of holding in your emotions, and that's popular for guys. Cowboy Tears is teaching people how to let it out and be able to put it out in a way that isn't going to be violent or self-destructive." A scorned lover boots Oliver Tree out of the house as she tosses his clothes across the lawn in the accompanying visual. Joined by the incomparable Bella Thorne, Oliver gets into all kinds of cowboy antics. He cruises around town on a longhorn four-wheeler with two brides, hoists a boombox John Cusack-style, and gets pelted with tomatoes by an angry girl gang. Tree will perform a medley of “Cowboys Don’t Cry” and “Life Goes On,” a single off the "Ugly Is Beautiful" deluxe release, on ABC’s "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" this Thursday, January 13.
