LP has released his highly anticipated sixth studio album "Churches" via SOTA Records. In the past year and a half, the singer-songwriter, who has more than two billion streams to their name, released five singles from the album, which now have a combined 80M streams/views. The lush and captivating Churches was executive produced by Mike Del Rio (Kylie Minogue, X Ambassadors, Skylar Grey). Though the record is in constant flux, LP’s vocals are consistently superb. From the opener ‘When We Touch,’ Churches is a compelling exploration of understanding, love and self-acceptance. The haunting ‘Rainbow’ brings to life the struggles of coming out and accepting oneself, while ‘My Body’ celebrates taking back control. "Churches' first single, "The One That You Love," generated more than 24M YouTube views of the official video, 21M Spotify streams, and had its TV debut on "Late Night with Seth Meyers." The album's second single, "How Low Can You Go," has 7M streams on Spotify, 6.7M YouTube views, and hits Triple-A radio's Top 3 most added songs. The video for the third single, "One Last Time," co-starring actor Jaime King, racked up 16M YouTube views and 8.9M streams on Spotify. LP's "Goodbye" has generated 2.3M YouTube views and 2M Spotify streams. LP's most recent single, "Angels," has 1.1M Spotify streams and nearly 900K YouTube views.

After a cameo at Wednesday night’s “La Casa de Papel: El Legado” global fan event streamed from Madrid, Becky G has released the full-length video of her reggaeton cover of “Bella Ciao,” an Italian anti-fascist protest song co-opted by the “Money Heist” gang as a resistance anthem of their own. “I have always loved "La Casa de Papel" and the way this show connected with millions of people across the world,” she said. "Bella Ciao" is an iconic song and marks a crucial moment in the series, so being asked to reimagine it and be a part of the "Casa de Papel" world is truly an honour. From recording the song to shooting the video, I hope everyone enjoys this cover as much as I do!” “Bella Ciao” premiered alongside a music video directed by Megan Gamez, which pays tribute to the red jumpsuit, mask and bars of gold from the Bank of Spain seen on the series. Netflix recently announced a "Money Heist" spin-off series is in the works, set to be released in 2023. The new drama, titled "Berlin: A New Series," will focus on the same name, played by Pedro Alonso. Berlin was killed off in season two but returned via flashbacks in subsequent episodes. "Money Heist" Season 5, part two, will be released on December 3 on Netflix. Just before “Squid Games” was launched worldwide, Netflix stressed that the series was its most-watched non-English-language drama until that point and had been seen by 180 million households worldwide.

Welsh singer-songwriter MARINA has released a brand new song, and it looks as though it's a song teased in 2020 titled "Happy Loner." On social media, MARINA uploaded an image with the words "Tendency to be a loner" and captioned the post: "Friday". Although she did not confirm the song title, fans were hoping it's a song titled "Happy Loner," which she first teased on social media in September 2020, and their wish has become a reality—working on political agendas such as misogyny, global warming and racism; MARINA released in June this year her fifth studio album, “Ancient Dreams In a Modern Land.” which is already getting ready to receive its deluxe version. Information about the continuation of the project was revealed through her stories on Instagram. The singer appeared in front of the mirror, writing: “This luxury album will not record itself,” and marked co-producer James Flanigan ( Dua Lipa , Carly Rae Jepsen, Hayley Kiyoko ). The announcement of the deluxe also came through a statement by the artist where the singer confirmed that new tracks from the album would be arriving soon, including titles already known, in some ways, by her fans. Songs like “Pink Convertible” and the latest release “Happy Loner” may be part of the deluxe version of “Ancient Dreams In a Modern Land.” The album was preceded by the release of four singles, "Man's World," "Purge the Poison," the title track, and "Venus Fly Trap" with each one having a music video.

Ariana Grande is back and has teamed up with Kid Cudi on their collaborative single “Just Look Up.” The song comes from the upcoming film "Don’t Look Up," which arrives in select theatres on December 10 and will be streaming on Netflix starting December 24. Directed by Adam McKay, the dark comedy features a star-studded cast, including Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence and fun cameos from Grande, Kid Cudi, Jonah Hill, and Timothée Chalamet. The film follows Kate Dibiasky (Jennifer Lawrence), an astronomy grad student, and her professor Dr. Randall Mindy (Leonardo DiCaprio), making an astounding discovery of a comet orbiting within the solar system. The problem - it's on a direct collision course with Earth. It turns out warning humankind about a planet-killer the size of Mount Everest is an inconvenient fact to navigate. With the help of Dr. Oglethorpe (Rob Morgan), Kate and Randall embark on a media tour that takes them from the office of an indifferent President Orlean (Meryl Streep) and her sycophantic son and Chief of Staff, Jason (Jonah Hill), to the airwaves of The Daily Rip, an upbeat morning show hosted by Brie (Cate Blanchett) and Jack (Tyler Perry). With only six months until the comet makes an impact, managing the 24-hour news cycle and gaining the attention of the social media-obsessed public before it's too late proves shockingly comical. "Don’t Look Up" follows the announcement that Grande will be portraying Glinda in the live-action adaptation of "Wicked" alongside Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba.

The 23-year-old Canadian singer Shawn Mendes dropped his new single titled “It’ll Be Okay” two weeks after Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello ended their two-year relationship. Never say that Shawn Mendes never puts his heart into his music because he certainly channelled his heartbreak into his new song. With the breakup still fresh in everyone’s minds, fans couldn’t help but see how “It’ll Be Okay” was born out of Shawn’s split, featuring lyrics about the “hurt” that comes with a relationship not making it. He addresses the apprehension that follows the end of a relationship on the new track. “Are we gonna make it?” he wonders to open the song. “If you tell me you’re leaving, I’ll make it easy/It’ll be okay,” he sings on the chorus. “If we can’t stop the bleeding/We don’t have to fix it, we don’t have to stay/I will love you either way.” “It’ll Be Okay” is the singer’s first new solo music since his fourth studio album, "Wonder," which arrived last December and promptly debuted at Number One on Rolling Stone‘s Top 200 Albums chart. In August, the singer dropped the LP single’s video for the Tainy-assisted “Summer of Love.” The pair performed the song at the VMAs in September. Mendes will hit the road next year for his Wonder: the World Tour. The arena trek kicks off in March in Europe before heading stateside in summer 2022.

Alicia Keys has teamed up with Apple Music to release an exclusive EP entitled "Alicia Keys: Sweet Dreams." The four-track set is described as a “collection of lullabies” in Spatial Audio. The EP includes “Best Of Me” from the upcoming album, "KEYS," as well as “Underdog” from her "Alicia" album. The project's highlight is “Over The Rainbow,” a duet that Keys recorded with her son Egypt. Keys noted that it’s her and Egypt’s favourite song. “Hearing his voice and his tone today at 11 years old is blowing my mind,” Keys shared in an Instagram post. “I have the chills! You’re going to love this sweet song and a few other lullabies [sic] I created to give you some zen energy when you need it.” Keys is gearing up for the release of her new album, "KEYS", on Dec. 10, via RCA Records. The double album will include the previously shared songs “Best Of Me (Originals),” "Best Of Me (Unlocked)” and “LALA (Unlocked).” “One album. 2 versions. Originals & Unlocked. The Originals come from that classic side of me! It’s that AK that we WANT!! A homecoming. On the Unlocked side, I wanted to sample The Originals to create a whole other sonic experience. So, @mikewillmadeit and I connected and made magic,” Keys explained. In addition, Keys is nominated for two awards at the 2022 Grammy Awards. “A Beautiful Noise,” her duet with Brandi Carlile, is nominated for Song of the Year. "ALICIA" is nominated for Best Immersive Audio Album. It’s Keys’ first time receiving a nod in this category.

DIONNE WARWICK | NOTHING'S IMPOSSIBLE (FEATURING CHANCE THE RAPPER) Dionne Warwick and Chance the Rapper have delivered their collaborative cut, “Nothing’s Impossible.” The seemingly unlikely collaboration was the result of a connection the two artists made after the R&B legend tweeted about Chance the Rapper’s name back in December saying, “Hi, @chancetherapper,” she wrote on Twitter on Dec. 5. “If you are very obviously a rapper why did you put it in your stage name? I cannot stop thinking about this.” “Nothing’s Impossible” carries the overarching themes of strength and perseverance. The track begins with soulful and uplifting vocals from Warwick before Chance matches her energy with a silky smooth verse of his own. “Nothing’s Impossible” was co-produced and composed by Dionne Warwick’s son Damon Elliott and Chance The Rapper’s collaborators Smoko Ono and Peter Cottontale. The song will raise money for Chance’s SocialWorks nonprofit and Warwick’s Hunger: Not Impossible charity. KILLBOY | JUST SAY IT Alt-pop-punk princess KILLBOY’s newest single “Just Say It” introduces you into their unique soundscape. She has been releasing a steady stream of music all year long, with her most recent single being "Space“ and "I F*ck Up Everything." Relatable. KILLBOY is a Mexican-American musician, singer, songwriter, record producer, engineer, music video director, and visual artist, among many other titles. She originally gained recognition back in December 2019 with her bedroom-produced single “WHEREDAFUCC” and has been growing exponentially ever since. The melody contrasts KILLBOY’s somewhat sad, mellow tone of voice. These two factors really help push the emotions of this song to the forefront and allow you to feel them, and the song’s message, on a much more personal level. It’s clear to see that KILLBOY is not stopping anytime soon. With a consistent release of new music, many upcoming shows being planned, and so much more in store, we will be seeing a lot more of her in the future. NICKY ROMERO | WHY DO I CALL The Dutch producer Nicky Romero has demonstrated his relentless versatility once again, with his emotional new dance-pop record entitled "Why Do I Call" via Virgin Records / Republic / Universal Music. The song plays to anyone who has chased the past, adding a rhythmic dance twist to an otherwise radio-friendly track. Nicky Romero began his partnership with Virgin/Universal and forayed into the softer side of the electronic dance music spectrum just last year after also launching his underground side-project Monocule while heading up his imprint Protocol Recordings, so we can’t wait to see what he comes up with next. “Why Do I Call” also follows up his recent remix of John Dahlbäck’s classic hit “Pyramid” and his acid house-infused anthem “Acid is my DNA”. Stirring tracks like this one are no longer unusual for Nicky, expanding his musical horizons beyond the progressive and electro house club anthems. In recent years, he has also found great success with down-tempo releases, with this new release joining other unique productions, such as “Okay”, “Nights With You” and “Stay”. JULIE BERGAN | SECOND HAND LOVE (FEATURING RUBEN) Norwegian singer-songwriters Julie Bergan and Ruben teamed up to release a duet version of “Second Hand Love” which the original version of the song is included on her debut album “Turn On the Lights” released in 2018. Bergan got a real surprise when she was in the program HAIK was surprised by Ruben Markussen who did a cover of "Second Hand Love." So surprised that she immediately went into the studio with Ruben to record a beautiful duet. The result of this collaboration and the single is heartbreaking as the acoustic piano in combination with their razor-sharp voices creates goosebumps time and time again. Both strong advocates for LGBTQ issues make the song even stronger as a call to love beyond gender. Something that becomes clear when the singers change pronouns in their verses to suit the person they are singing to. Julie Bergan broke through in her native Norway in 2016 with "Arigato" peaking at number one. Bergans major-label debut album "Turn on the Light" was released in 2018. IVY ADARA | WANT WHAT I CAN'T HAVE Ivy Adara offers releases clever and catchy confessions magnified by expansive pop soundscapes with her new single“Want What I Can’t Have.” Ivy’s raw, dreamy vocals chase a vintage acoustic guitar that provides an organic canvas to tell the story of a girl who’s brave enough to face her demons in order to find herself again. Wrapped in a warm, driving rhythm, the lyrics make you want to dance and cry at the same time. Ivy had the concept for the track floating around her head for months and was continuously mapping out in her mind the best possible way to tell the story, eventually giving us a classic rock song with a modern, minimalistic twist. The budding talent wrote her first song at seven-years-old and simply never stopped writing since, leaving her discography’s total streams exceeding 200 million on Spotify alone. It is no surprise that ivy is becoming an in-demand talent behind-the-scenes and is definitely an artist to look out for! CATIE TURNER | GOD MUST HATE ME Catie Turner has released her most vulnerable yet entitled "God Must Hate Me" which she teased the track on her TikTok and the video quickly reached over a million views within 24 hours of posting. “God Must Hate Me” follows the singer’s recently released duet with Los Angeles-based artist JORDY, known for his single, “(Wish I Didn’t Have To) Lie.” Turner co-wrote the song alongside JORDY, and their dual efforts paid off by landing the pair on the cover of Spotify’s Sad Hour playlist. She recently performed the duet with JORDY at The Troubadour Music Center and completed a couple of sets at both LA’s Roxy Theatre and New York’s Bowery Ballroom opening for Faouzia. Catie Turner first rose to prominence when she featured in Season 16 of the popular singing competition television series American Idol as a fan favourite contestant in 2018. She later went viral when her original song, “Prom Queen,” was featured in the trailer for the documentary "The Beautiful World of Jeffree Star," which holds over 14 million views on YouTube.

Hot on the heels of his 2022 Grammy Nomination for "Best Remixed Recording," Mura Masa has dropped his new track, “2gether”. It’s his first taste of new music since 2020’s second album, "R.Y.C," with Alex co-producing PinkPantheress’ smash hit “Just For Me” and remixing the likes of Erika de Casier and Clairo under lockdown. “2gether” is the unmistakable sound of Mura Masa as he enters a new chapter. The brooding, lo-fi track features vocals from 19-year-old singer-songwriter Gretel Hänlyn, whose debut single – “Slugeye” – Alex produced upon its release earlier this year. Teased to his diehard fan base on Tiktok earlier this week, "2gether" showcases Mura Masa’s intricate production techniques and recalls the spontaneity of his genre-shaping, Soundcloud roots, while also taking things somewhere new. Mura Masa is a platinum-selling, Grammy-Award-winning artist, producer and curator who resists simple categorization. His debut, self-titled album, was released in 2017 to widespread acclaim, featuring some of the world’s most prominent artists collaborating with a then-Guernsey-based teen on his own, thrilling take on what modern pop music should sound like. Having surpassed 2 billion streams, been nominated for an Ivor and headlined shows from Alexandra Palace and Warehouse Project to festivals worldwide, 2020’s follow up, "R.Y.C," was another bold reinvention in sound and style from Mura Masa.

Kelly Rowland heads to the dance floor with her new holiday tune, “Wonderful Time,” a colourful, upbeat remake of Andy Williams’ 1963 festive hit. This retro-sounding cover, featuring an assist from songwriting and production duo NOVA Wav, further elaborates why Rowland should be cast for a Donna Summer biopic. She expresses the joy of the season like a true disco queen. It is the third installment in the Liddle franchise. The first movie was called "Merry Liddle Christmas," which was released in 2019, followed by 'Merry Liddle Christmas Wedding' in 2021 and now 'Merry Liddle Christmas Baby.' In July, In the first movie, Kelly's character, Jacquie, plays a career-driven woman. However, as she matures in the second movie, she finds herself settling down and getting married to Tyler. In the third movie, she is having a baby. Rowland appeared alongside CeCe Peniston on Amorphous’ debut EP "Things Take Shape." Rowland issued her latest project, "K" in February. The compact release featured the Summer-inspired single “Crazy” and “Flowers,” which received the video treatment. Rowland issued her newest challenge, Ok, in February. The compact liberate featured the Summer season-inspired unmarried “Loopy” and “Vegetation,” which gained video remedy.

Georgian-British singer-songwriter and musician Katie Melua has dropped her new album "Acoustic Album No. 8," a collection of acoustic reworkings of her acclaimed 2020 release "Album No.8." Produced by Zurab Melua, these stripped-back performances present the songs and Katie’s singular voice at their most pure. Album No. 8 saw Katie expose herself with her most personal record to date as she sought to take control of her music and public narrative. The tracks were not just an exploration into her personal and emotional state but also challenged the creative depths, which has seen a massive amount of commercial and critical success throughout her career. The album was widely recognized upon its release while also scoring Katie’s 8th consecutive UK top 10 studio album with high expectations. Released during the pandemic, when she was unable to tour, Katie would often share acoustic performances of the songs online, usually joined by her brother Zurab. “I’m proud of these songs and missed being able to tour around the release of the album last year. Performing them in this distilled way has given them a new lease of life. Zurab has a brilliant mind, and we were able to do everything, apart from mastering, at home, which is in a beautiful part of London. I think the tranquillity and the green park around the area is part of the atmosphere on the record.” Katie Melua is one of Britain's most successful musical artists, with a catalogue that has been certified 56 times platinum around the globe.

Global pop group Now United has released a total of 55 singles and has dropped another Arabic song titled "Badna Nehlam." We were already shocked to find out that the members of the global pop group Now United have landed back in the capital of the UAE. The gang has returned to rehearse and take part in their daily Bootcamp where they perfect their singing and dancing skills together. This isn’t the first time that Now United has ventured into Arabic music or bilingual lyrics. Especially as their first-ever Arab member, Nour Ardakani, was introduced this year. P.S. she’s also our spring cover star. “I’m so grateful for this opportunity to join Now United, to do what I love and represent the country that I love,” Nour said in a statement. “Singing and dancing is my passion and to be given the chance to do that with so many amazing talents from different countries and cultures is a dream come true for me.” "Habibi" was one of the Lebanese songstress’ first singles with the band, and the music video was recorded right here in the UAE. The song is an ‘instantly uplifting slice of pop gold,’ and Nour was on lead vocals in both Arabic and English. The group was founded in 2017 by Simon Fuller (yes, the man responsible for the formation of the Spice Girls!) and consists of 16 members, with each member representing a different country and nationality from around the globe.

Gary Barlow returned with his first-ever holiday album, "The Dream of Christmas," which has now been released as a deluxe version. The album also features duets with Aled Jones and The Puppini Sisters and comes as a standard 11-track and newly released deluxe 15-track edition. It’s a bit of a surprise after 30 years into a pop career that Gary has only just got around to making a Christmas album—possibly prompted by the success of Robbie’s 2019 Official Albums Chart Number 1, "The Christmas Present." The Take That frontman has also released a new song, "How Christmas Is Supposed to Be," Teaming up with actor and singer Sheridan Smith. Gary also collaborated with Welsh baritone Aled Jones on "A Child’s Christmas in Wales," cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason on the spellbinding "The Colder It Feels," and vocal harmony trio The Puppini Sisters on festive classic "Winter Wonderland." He said about the album: “We were all trying to make Christmas feel good last year. “It was a tough Christmas for so many because of the scenario we all found ourselves in. So to try and make things a bit special, I started writing these songs. “I had never listened to those classic Christmas songs with the idea of singing them myself, but as this record evolved, so did my appreciation for these wonderful songs. It all started as a bit of a dalliance in the studio, and before I knew it, I had a whole album!” Gary will support the album with a series of live shows in November and December across the UK, with the support of Leona Lewis.

After winning the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest with his song “Arcade,” Duncan Laurence has released a Christmas carol for the first time entitled "Wishes Come True." Duncan Laurence is not the first Eurovision winner to come up with a Christmas song. For example, Måns Zelmerlöw, who won the song festival in 2015 on behalf of Sweden, released "Alone on Christmas Eve" last year. Zelmerlöw also previously made an entire Christmas album, just like Eurovision legend Johnny Logan. In related news, the singer did not win any prizes on Saturday evening at the presentation of the NRJ Music Awards in Cannes, France. Duncan, who attended the show, had a chance in the Best International Newcomer category but saw the award go to Olivia Rodrigo. In addition to Rodrigo and Laurence, Bad Bunny, The Kid LAROI, Justin Wellington and Faouzia were also nominated. Laurence was not the only Dutchman who had a chance to win a prize. Martin Garrix was nominated in the DJ of the year category. However, that award went to DJ Snake. The NRJ Music Awards have been organized annually since 2000 by the French youth radio station NRJ. He rose to fame with his track "Arcade," which has gone to Number 1 in several European countries following his win, including Belgium, Iceland, Estonia, and the Netherlands. It wasn't until a year and a half later, however, at the end of 2020, that the song truly blew up - when TikTok worked its magic once more.

British-Norwegian DJ Alan Walker has dropped his sophomore album, "World Of Walker," which is the follow-up to his 2018 debut album "Different World." Already releasing two singles from the album, "Paradise," featuring K-391 and Boy In Space and his latest single, "World We Used To Know with Winona Oak. Seemingly continuing with the sci-fi-influenced, climate change-aware theme of much of his previous work, "The World We Used To Know" is deeply reflective and melancholy. With lyrics centred around nature and concerns about the future, Walker asks the listener if “it came overnight, or did it come on slow?”, asserting that “I don’t think this is the world we used to know.” The regretful lyrics, sung powerfully yet rather gloomily by Oak, belie the understated bounce of the chorus. Razor-sharp arpeggiated guitar, and massive, ethereal pads mark the solemn verses, but the track takes on an almost tropical, other-worldly feel once the drop comes. It’s a sad song, to be sure, but one that seems to contain plenty of further hope and optimism bubbling just below the surface. Walker has certainly been busy lately, performing at EDC Las Vegas, Japan’s Summer Sonic Festival, releasing his club-oriented EP "Walker Racing League" earlier in the year, and of course, gearing up for the drop of his new album. Winona Oak, famous mostly for collaborations with What So Not (‘Beautiful’) and with The Chainsmokers ("Hope"), teamed up with Walker as the latest in a series of vocal performances on other artists’ tracks.

The Weeknd has dropped a music video for his song ‘Die For You,’ taken from his blockbuster 2016 album "Starboy." The music video arrived today (November 25) on YouTube. In a distinct homage to the sci-fi film "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial" and Netflix show "Stranger Things," a young boy resembling The Weeknd – real name Abel Tesfaye – hides out in a garden shed, only to be found by one of the home’s residents, a young girl. A few months ago, The Weeknd made his return and signalled the start of his possible forthcoming album rollout when he unleashed his “Take My Breath” single. In September, he gave his fans another unexpected treat as he unveiled an alternate video for his “Can’t Feel My Face” mega-hit. That week marked the 6th anniversary of "Beauty Behind The Madness" that the song originally appeared on. His latest body of work, After Hours, was released during the first quarter of last year. He initially saw 14 tracks with a slew of matching visuals, all of which depicted The Weeknd as a character inspired by films like "Fear and Loathing Las Vegas," "Joker," and "Casino." The project also produced a few special editions, adding on remixes and collaborations with Lil Uzi Vert, Doja Cat, Chromatics, and Oneohtrix Point Never. "After Hours" became one of the most commercially successful albums of 2020.

Nick Cave and Warren Ellis have shared “We Are Not Alone,” the first single from their original soundtrack for the upcoming documentary "Les Panthére Des Neiges." The album arrives on Dec. 17 via Invada Records/Lakeshore Records. The film will be released in the U.S. on Dec. 22. "La Panthére des Neiges" follows wildlife photographer Vincent Munier and novelist Sylvain Tesson as they explore the valleys of the Tibetan plateau for unique animals, including the elusive, titular snow leopard. The accompanying video for the single (which is a different edit than what will appear on the album) features Marie Amiguet and Vincent Munier-directed film footage. “There is something about the heart of this film that draws you in. I realized after a day that I wanted to do whatever it took to compose an entirely original score,” Ellis said in a statement. “The film deserved to have its musical voice. I booked five days and asked Nick if he could come in for a day to write a theme song and play some piano. He saw the film and stayed for four days. In April, Cave and Ellis followed up their album "Carnage" with the 7" single "Grief." This month, they announced more than a dozen 2022 U.S. tour dates. Cave portrays H.G. Wells in "The Electrical Life of Louis Wain," a new biopic about the titular British artist. Ellis and Cave recently announced their first tour as a duo. They launch their 17-date North American trek on March 1 at Thomas Wolfe Auditorium in Asheville, North Carolina.

Almost two years after its release, pop darling Allie X releases the deluxe version of her album "Cape Cod," which surpasses the standard version. It includes a 2nd disc with five new songs that include "Cape God Theme," "Milk," "Limited Love," "Anchor," and "Rising Tide." "Cape God," initially released in February 2020 via Twin Music, is a gem that everyone should discover. The album is described as a carefully constructed meditation on universal themes of identity and belonging and, most importantly, a declaration of the autonomy we have when we redefine ourselves. It’s an album that, compared to records like "Super Sunset" and "CollXtion II," definitely lets us know who Allie X is. "Cape God" is an alternative record that also deals with issues such as alienation, the inability to fully adapt to the taste of others and dealing with our inner demons in a pop way. However, there is no lack of lighter moments such as “Super Duper Party People” or “Learning in Public.” It’s no coincidence that the latter is the album’s closing track. Her North American headline tour promises to transport fans to the surreal world of “Cape God.” After that, Allie was going to embark on the Cape God Tour that was set to begin on March 22nd, 2020; however, Allie announced on all her social media on March 16th, 2020, that the tour was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Allie renewed the previous tour and will embark on the Cape God World Tour on March 17th, 2022, and end on May 14th, 2022.

Australian R&B and pop music singer-songwriter-guitarist and internet personality JXN has shared his new single titled "Love Sux," marking what he considers his first real attempt at a love song. “I feel corny describing it,” he said today (November 24) in a press release, “but the whole song is about the troubles I’ve come up against in love. There are times when it can really suck, but I’ve added a last-minute flip [with the lyric] "Love Sux, but you don’t," because there are certainly times when it can work out.” Carried by a loose, breezy soundscape of strummed acoustics and razor-sharp drum machines, the track takes clear inspiration from Latin pop and trap artists. Brazier noted that he’d co-written it over Zoom with songwriter Kristen Carpenter and Swedish duo Teddy Failure. Touching on its emotive rawness, he continued: “It actually makes me cry when I sing it stripped back with my guitar thinking about everything I love. It’s a beautiful song and possibly one of my most vulnerable if you can look past the absolute banging production and stop dancing for a second!” "Love Sux" is the artist’s second new track for 2021, following the release of "Cotton Candy" back in September (and a subsequent remix from Nuxe the month after. The artist released his debut EP, "NeverASadAdventure," in May of 2020. Flanked by singles such as "Outta Space" (featuring Allday and Fossa Beats) and "Stellar."

The foursome, comprising Shane Filan, Mark Feehily, Kian Egan and Nicky Byrne, known as Westlife, marks the release of their new album "Wild Dreams" via East West Records. Westlife wanders back into view for their twelfth album and the second since they reunited in 2019 with the certainty of a Marvel TV spin-off. They sound mostly reinvigorated on a set of 13 new songs that sees them further embrace grown-up pop and invite fresh songwriting talent on board to varying degrees of success. The band recorded "Wild Dreams" during the lockdown in studios across Ireland and used a home music rig that visited band members’ houses to lay down the songs. Discussing Wild Dreams, Mark said: 'This album means more to us than anything we have done before and has been inspired by the challenges we've all overcome over the last 18 months." The band has co-written with the likes of the inexplicable Picture This, Stephen Garrigan of the inexplicable Kodaline, Tom Grennan, Cian MacSweeney of future hit-making Cork trio True Tides, and Swedish producer Rami. The title track is quite the banger, and the recent single "Starlight" has something of Abba’s pop sheen, a hooky chorus, solid harmonies and a middle eight you can hear coming the second you hear the first note. Westlife soared to fame in 1998 also with Brian McFadden, who later left in 2004. In addition, to the delight of fans, the group is headed on the road next year on The Wild Dreams Tour, which will take them across the UK's biggest arenas as well as the new album.

Christina Perri has released her new lullaby album called "Songs For Rosie," dedicated to the daughter she lost last year. Christina Perri has not had an easy year as, In July of 2020, the singer-songwriter shared that she was expecting another child with her husband, comedian Paul Costabile. The couple was thrilled; this would be their rainbow baby after experiencing a pregnancy loss at 11 weeks in January of 2020. But in November of 2020, in her third trimester, Perri was hospitalized with pregnancy complications. Two weeks later, she and her family shared the devastating news that they had lost their daughter. “She was born silent after fighting so hard to make it to our world,” Perri, who had been 33 weeks along, wrote at the time. “This record means the most to me because it carries forever the narrative—the correct narrative—that she exists,” says Perri. It also builds upon Perri’s legacy of commemorating her love for her children via song. She hopes the album will help others who have also experienced pregnancy loss connect with their grief and honour the little ones they’ve lost as well. "Songs For Rosie" features duets with Christina’s husband, Paul, and with Carmella, as well as special appearances by Chris Martin and Jacob Collier on the new song “roses in the rain (lullaby).” It also features a cover of The Beatles’ “Here Comes the Sun.”
