Mariah Carey has returned with her #MC30 campaign, releasing a new EP dedicated to her astonishing rendition of “Joy To The World.” The seven-track release contains assorted mixes, including a Flava and Celebration mix, to the holiday staple she belted out on her multi-platinum 1994 album "Merry Christmas." The #M30 campaign launched in July 2020 with "The Live Debut," an extended play of her first live performances. She followed with several other EPs highlighting various albums and singles such as "Daydream," "Music Box," and "Butterfly." The series of EPs set the stage for "The Rarities," a double album consisting of vaulted songs and live material captured from a show at the Tokyo Dome in 1996. Carey recently landed a top ten single on R&B radio and Billboard charts with her participation in Jam & Lewis’ song “Somewhat Loved.” The chart entry occurred following the announcement of her new liqueur brand called Black Irish. As of 2020, Carey's "Merry Christmas" album was certified eight-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipment of eight million copies in the US. As of December 2019, the album has sold 5.7 million copies in the US and is one of the best-selling holiday albums in the United States.

Multiple-Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Rob Thomas has released his debut holiday album, "Something About Christmas Time," via Atlantic Records. As a kid, Rob Thomas always thought December 26th was the saddest day of the year. The festive season brought joy amid an at-times turbulent home life. Through the years, that love for Christmas would surface in everything from concert performances dressed as Santa to the merry wonderland he and wife Marisol create at their Westchester, New York, home every year. The 10-track collection, produced by Gregg Wattenberg, features a mix of new originals, classic covers and show-stopping duets with Ingrid Michaelson, BeBe Winans, Brad Paisley & Abby Anderson. The album is led by the new single "Small-Town Christmas," arriving alongside a touching memory-filled music video companion directed by David "Doc" Abbott. Thomas also gives his long-beloved "A New York Christmas" a 2021 update for the project, nearly 20 years after the single's original release. The reimagined version will be featured in the all-new Hallmark Channel movie "A Royal Queens Christmas" - airing as part of their Countdown to Christmas programming with all-new holiday movies airing every Friday, Saturday & Sunday at 8/7c.

Pop-rock duo Aly & AJ released the second single called “Am I Alright,” an 80’s synth-inspired track encouraging mental health awareness in a judgement-free environment. It is lifted from their upcoming deluxe edition of the fourth studio album, “a touch of the beat gets you up on your feet gets you out and then into the sun,” following “Get Over Here.” Aly & AJ share, “Sometimes it’s hard to ask ourselves if we are in a healthy headspace. This song asks that question very simply without the implications of judgement getting in the way,” said Aly & AJ about the track. The deluxe edition will feature four new tracks from the album's recording sessions and will be released on February 11, 2022. The duo shared on social media, “HELLO!!!!!!!! Lil update: we are busy writing music, signing & packing your vinyl (yes, we will have physically touched all of them at one point and prepping for another show coming up! Also working on some remixes that we think you will be VERY much into.” The deluxe edition of the duo’s latest album also includes recent sister-track “Get Over Here,” which Consequence stated it’s “a hypnotic ode to newfound love — or lust — and all the reckless urges and demands that come with it.” The deluxe album is set to drop in early 2022 ahead of their forthcoming “A Touch of The Beat” US & EU tour, which will travel to Los Angeles, New York City, London, Paris, Berlin, Chicago, San Francisco, and more.

The Jonas Brothers released their eponymous album in 2007; the band was the hottest new act on the teen scene. The self-titled second studio album and the international debut album on August 7, 2007, were their first album released under Hollywood Records. A mini reality TV show and constant circulation of their music across the network quickly introduced the world to the raven-haired trio. Combined with the band’s charm, their sophomore release was the perfect amount of boyish and fresh, and the masses bought — more like devoured — what they were selling. The three brothers Nick, Kevin and Joe, have been living the dream ever since the release of their first US single in 2005, receiving significant boosts through MTV and Radio Disney, particularly in the wake of their cover of "The Year 3000." However, the Jonas Brothers are far more sentimental than Busted, and this album is decidedly hit-and-miss. Their energetic brand of pop-punk, just about bearable for a track, quickly pales throughout the album. Their track "SOS," a cover of a song by the British band Busted, is a staple in the band’s catalogue, providing a youthful perspective on a failing relationship through the lens of the mid-2000s. The track was previously released in 2006 by Columbia from the album "It's About Time." The band served even more classic teen pop on tracks like the high-energy, guitar-led “Hold On,” which served as the official second single from the album. It featured in the Disney Channel Original Movie "Johnny Kapahala: Back on Board." Music videos during the Jonas Brothers album cycle were also a powerful force. The video for their power ballad “When You Look Me In the Eyes” featured black and white footage of the boys performing live. Its aesthetic perfectly captured the sensitive tone of the song and set hearts ablaze for many years to come. Their sophomore effect is cheerful, good-natured, and, best of all, tuneful and all adds up to an album that's tighter and better than their debut and one that suggests that they deserved their popularity on Radio Disney. Still, they have the writing and performing skills. Jonas Brothers have delivered an album that's high-energy pop-punk overflowing with catchy hooks and muscular guitar licks. Recording the project from beginning to end in a mere 21 days, so if you enjoy the genre and don't mind somewhat lightweight lyrics 'Jonas Brothers' is for you.

DARIN | HOLDING ME MORE Swedish pop superstar Darin has dropped his new track entitled "Holding Me More," a co-written ballad by Darin and Jamie Hartman, who helped the singer pen his recent hit "Can’t Stay Away." The song is in the same style and genre as some of his biggest Swedish-language hits in recent years. “This is definitely one of the most emotional songs I’ve ever sung,” he says of the single. “While I think anyone who has ever experienced heartbreak can probably relate to this song in one way or another, I feel that it hits different depending on how you’re feeling at any given time. “There is a real bittersweet complexity to it, where the tenderness of reconciliation and nostalgia sits side-by-side with the pain of not being sure if you’ll ever be able to trust that person completely again.” He adds: “I’ve really enjoyed writing with the incredibly talented Jamie Hartman on this one, and I can’t wait for you to hear more from our sessions. The singer-songwriter admitted that the recent global events gave him “a lot of time to think about things, and that made me open up to this new style that I have.” PEACH PRC | CHRISTMAS KINDA SUCKS Adelaide pop artist Peach PRC (aka Shaylee Curnow) dropped a holiday-themed track titled 'Christmas Kinda Sucks." As for the song, fans can expect more energetic indie-pop that earned Curnow her breakout earlier in the year. The track is driven by hazy, effects-drenched guitars and thumping synth bass, with Curnow’s autotune-flourished vocals soaring over the mix. As its title implies, ‘Christmas Kinda Sucks’ eschews the typically nostalgic and romantic fare associated with Christmas music, as Curnow sings: “This tree looks kinda high, then again so do I / Can’t smoke up a mistletoe, but damn I tried / I hate this winter theme, it’s 38 degrees / A bump’s the only snow I’ll ever see.” The new release pre-empts her forthcoming single ‘Heavy,’ which will land on November 5 via Republic / Universal. The track comes as Curnow’s fifth Peach PRC release for 2021, following the singles ‘Josh’ and ‘Symptomatic’ – released in February and June, respectively – and acoustic versions of both. She chose her stage name due to her love of pink, as a homage to Princess Peach, using the title while performing as a stripper. An abbreviation for porcelain, she began using the suffix PRC on TikTok due to not wanting to type out the entire word. WALKER HAYES | U GURL The viral hitmaker Walker Hayes shared his new track “U Gurl,” which is inspired by his wife Laney, who’ve been together for 17 years, and co-written by Hayes alongside Dylan Guthro and Jodi Guthro, “U Gurl” finds the Alabama native singing about the feeling he gets each time he looks at his wife. “With ‘U Gurl,’ we wanted to capture that feeling when you look at your significant other, and you just can’t take your eyes off them, yet freshly,” Hayes said in a press release. “I get that feeling every day when I look at my wife.” “U Gurl” follows Hayes’ viral hit “Fancy Like,” which took TikTok by storm with the dance as well as put the Oreo Milkshake back on the Applebee’s menu, not to mention also appears in an Applebee’s commercial. Additionally, Hayes’ recently made his awards show debut at CMT’s Artists Of The Year ceremony. He performed “Fancy Like” and got some of the event’s star-studded guests up and dancing, including Kane Brown, Gabby Barrett and more. In the meantime, “Fancy Like” is racing up the charts. It’s topped the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and currently sits inside the top five on country radio and at #3 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100. DEAN LEWIS | LOOK LIKE ME Dean Lewis has always put so much emotion in his music that it can be felt in every word he sings. He packs so much vulnerability into all of his songs and is no exception with his new single “Falling Up." Sometimes, we can’t help but wonder if we’d be so much happier in life if we were in a different position. This thought process was the foundation of “Falling Up.” Dean spilled, “I always thought I would be happy when I finished school or when I passed an exam, or I got a job or a promotion or if I went travelling and then I was like – ‘ooh, now I have a record deal, what if I have a big song? Then, I had a big song, and I was on the road for three years, and when I stopped, I realized it had all passed me by, and I was less present and more anxious and stressed than ever. I looked back on my life and at all of these points along the way, and I realized that I’ve never felt any better; it’s always been onto the next thing, always moving.” the Australian singer/songwriter saw worldwide success with the release of "A Place We Know." The album debuted at #18 on the Billboard 200 chart and has received a Gold RIAA Certification. The lead single “Be Alright” has accumulated over 4.8 billion global streams and went 2x Platinum in the United States. ABBY ANDERSON | BAD POSTURE Abby Anderson is out with a new single entitled "Bad Posture," which serves as the first song from her new album in early 2022 via Stem. The singer-songwriter says she realized she wasn’t her most authentic self with the image she was projecting, so she listened to her heart and made some changes. Those changes shined through in the music she created and are reflected in a new track, “Bad Posture." With the release of her debut EP I'M GOOD in 2018, Abby Anderson was named MusicRow Magazine's 2019 Next Big Things and Sounds Like Nashville's 2019 Country Artists to Watch List, as well as her national television debut on NBC's "TODAY Show." Written with Anna Vaus and produced by Marshall Altman, “Bad Posture” showcases Anderson’s appreciation for the experiences and early life lessons that have helped her recognize and accept happiness. It also embraces her past and present with a sound that fully captures who she is as an artist, songwriter and woman who isn’t afraid to stand up tall and say what she stands for. Along with her album news, Anderson is also celebrating on the personal front, having wed her fiancé Tyler Graham at Saddle Woods Farm in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, earlier this month in a ceremony surrounded by family. CHARLOTTE CARDIN | SCORPIO SEASON Canadian singer and songwriter from Montreal, Quebec Charlotte Cardin unveiled a brand new song, "Scorpio Season," the first single from the deluxe edition of her album "Phoenix." The debut album was released back in April, and the deluxe edition comprises 20-track, featuring previously 13 songs and 7-track including five new songs. The new electro-pop track was co-written and directed by Stint and Jason Brando. "It is a period of mystery, intensity, emotion. It's the most sensual and confusing time of the year. As each end announces a rebirth, this song deals with the fatalities that no one escapes during the Scorpion season." explains Charlotte Cardin in a press release. She wrote 50 demos for the debut album. The deluxe version features B-sides initially registered with the rest of “Phoenix.” She said, “We wrote about fifty demos for the initial Phoenix album. Out of the batch, we picked thirteen to tell the story we wanted to tell with this first record. As much as we loved the other tracks, we couldn't fit all of them on there. But ever since we released the album, the response has been so positive that I wanted to give back to my ever-so-supportive fans by extending the Phoenix era a little longer. I went back to those first demos that I loved and chose to work on those particularly special to me for this release. I hope they will be special to you as well.” MORE NOTEWORTHY NEW MUSIC SURIEL HESS | HURT ME DIANA ROSS | ALL IS WELL X-AMBASSADORS LÉON | SOAKED JORDIE IRELAND | YOU'RE NOT MINE

After weeks of teasing, Swedish House Mafia and The Weeknd collaboration "Moth To A Flame" has dropped. The record marks the third release since the trio returned in 2021. After the pandemic saw The Weeknd's “After Hours” era dominate with hit singles “Heartless,” “Blinding Lights,” “In Your Eyes,” and “Save Your Tears” — as well as a bit of gig at the Super Bowl halftime show in February — the enigmatic artist has hung up his crimson costume and is moving on to a new phase with “Moth to a Flame." Moth To A Flame follows the unique musical style the trio has been exploring since the return—more radio-friendly vibes, soft and intimate vocals, and catchy but also relaxing in a way percussions. The tune features the extraordinary song of Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, aka The Weeknd. "Moth To A Flame" starts with the snipped reproduced for the first time during the MTV EMAs. The official music video is like the previous one, is directed by Alexander Wessely. He’s also been in charge of the creative direction of the whole aesthetic of the trio since his return this year. You can feel the dark and mysterious vibes on all its work, including the cover of "Moth To A Flame." The foreground of The Weeknd, under a blue/dark green light with the three stars reflected on the sunglasses, clearly represents Swedish House Mafia.

Olivia Rodrigo surprised her fans with the music video for her next single, “traitor.” Rodrigo opens the video, happily jumping in the clouds until she’s brought back down to earth in her heartbreak. Her friends take her on a night out on the town, visiting various teen hangouts after hours. Rodrigo spends a good portion of the video in an arcade, mirroring an old video of Rodrigo and her rumoured boyfriend at the time, Joshua Bassett, playing "Guitar Hero" together. The teens later break into their high school and jump into the pool as Rodrigo tries to enjoy time with friends while being heartbroken. The video switches between the camcorder and HD footage to highlight the difference between the memories being recorded and the feelings of betrayal by Olivia. "Traitor" follows up Rodrigo's "SOUR" album opener "Brutal," which took listeners way up on the rollercoaster ride of teen angst, just to drop them back down to Earth with her thunderous suspicions of emotional unfaithfulness.

Pop production duo HONNE consisting of James Hatcher and Andy Clutterbuck, has released their new album "Let’s Just Say The World Ended A Week From Now, What Would You Do?" The new LP is the project's third and follows the 14 track surprise release mixtape "no song without you," which landed last summer. Written during 2020, the new album "Let’s Just Say The World Ended A Week From Now, What Would You Do?" finds HONNE working without limitation. Rather than restricting themselves within their parameters, HONNE has opened the gates of their creativity, allowing their ideas to roll. It’s fun to hear them try out sonics of funk on “What Would You Do?” and R&B on “Three Strikes” - not to mention the reminiscent sounds from their previous works weaved into the essence of the album. Hearing artists successfully try out new ideas is always a pleasure to hear, and HONNE has done just that. “In the past, we’ve limited ourselves,” they explain. “We might get to a section of a song, and things are getting really exciting, but we then pull ourselves back and say, ‘Can we really do that?’. Now, we’ve sidestepped the rules and done whatever we wanted to do.” The record features many guests, including BRIT winner Griff, DJ Khaled, NIKI, and Sofia Valdes.

Khalid has been absent from the music scene but has released new music with the brand new single "Present." It’s been a couple of years since Khalid dropped off his sophomore LP "Free Spirit," which saw 17 tracks and a couple of assists from John Mayer and Safe. The project was a massive commercial success, landing the Texas star his first number one album on the Billboard 200 thanks to an impressive 202,000 first-week album-equivalent units sold. The smooth and breezy track is taken from his forthcoming EP "Scenic Drive," which is expected to drop December 3rd and will serve as an intro to his album, which will follow. “You know what, before I give people this album that is almost like a new reintroduction to who I am as a creative, I’m like, I want to go back to my basics and I want to make an R&B tape, EP, undecided on what it is because it birthed ‘Present.’ There are two projects. They’re related. They’re related, but it’s like the more mature cousin. And then the album is like its own thing, it’s like this newborn baby,” said Khalid. Khalid revealed that the EP would feature about eight songs and collaborate with Ari Lennox, Majid Jordan, 6LACK, JID and more.

Pink Sweats makes a return to the spotlight just months after he released his debut album, "Pink Planet." Fast-forward to the present, and the Philly singer is back with his second song in as many weeks with “Nothing Feels Better.” 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.” Before “Nothing Feels Better,” Pink Sweats touched down with “I Feel Good,” a track that found him appreciating the world around him and how great life is to him nowadays. It all comes amid a spike in activity for him. He recently made an appearance on The Eye, a new series that allows up-and-coming artists to their breakout songs in beautiful and minimalistic environments. There he performed “At My Worst,” “Heaven,” and “Paradise” and also spoke about his debut "Pink Planet." He described the project as “an album about one of the most timeless emotions… love. I wanted to express my love about someone I truly love and document that.” He released his first EP Volume 1 on November 2, 2018, led by the single "Honesty." His debut album, "Pink Planet," was released in February 2021.

ABBA has dropped their third new single since announcing their reunion last month, an exuberant cut titled "Just A Notion" that will be featured on their forthcoming album "Voyage," arriving on November 5. ABBA confirmed, "Voyage" in September, releasing the new songs “I Still Have Faith in You” and “Don’t Shut Me Down,” three years after announcing their reunion. it will serve as the group’s first studio LP in four decades, following 1981’s "The Visitors." The band has also developed a concert program with digital alter-egos that opens in a purpose-built arena in London next year. The song was initially recorded in September 1978 but didn’t make the final cut of the Swedish hitmakers’ sixth studio album "Voulez-Vous" the following year. The new version features updated instrumentals but retains the vocals from the original recording. In a statement, the group’s Björn Ulvaeus described the new single as “a ridiculously happy song” and that “hopefully it will cheer you up in these dark times!” The ABBA Voyage tour will see a “digital” version of ABBA (not holograms) perform alongside a 10-piece live band. The show run will be at the purpose-built, 3,000-capacity ABBA Arena at London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, starting May 27, 2022.

Tove Styrke has another new song, a dazzling, very upbeat track entitled "Start Walking. Although just below the surface, the lyrics reflect a relationship at the point when it's already over, you have to be the one who chooses to walk away. Styrke co-wrote the song with Caroline Ailin (Dua Lipa's “New Rules” and “Don’t Start Now”), Sly (Shawn Mendes), Lostboy (Tom Grennan, Anne-Marie) and Pablo Bowman (Marshmello, Alan Walker). Tove describes ‘Start Walking’ as “a song I made together with some amazing writers and producers, and I’m obsessed with it. It’s an upbeat song with sad lyrics, which is my favourite combination. It’s about a person who knows a relationship is over and how it sucks to be the one to leave, but you know there is no other way.” "I love the insane music video we made for the single," says Styrke of the accompanying clip. "It’s about a Swedish ‘dansband’ with supernatural powers. ‘Dansband’ is a signature style of Swedish pop music that has drawn huge audiences dancing cheek to cheek around the country for decades. My dad played in one of these bands – they were called Max Fenders – in the 1970s, which is where the idea for the video initially comes from." Before releasing "Start Walking" and featuring on "All Things $ Can Do," Styrke shared "Mood Swings."

After building anticipation worldwide, UK pop singer and songwriter Mimi Webb releases her debut "Seven Shades of Heartbreak" EP via Epic Records/RCA. She celebrated the release of "Seven Shades of Heartbreak" with the premiere of the music video for “Halfway,” directed by Malia James. The seven-track project places her show-stopping vocals, eloquent songwriting and undeniable energy directly in the spotlight, and it boasts international hits “Good Without,” “Dumb Love,” and the recent single “24/5”. Before release, these fan and critical favourites have already eclipsed 250 million streams and counting. Meanwhile, “Good Without” and “Dumb Love” simultaneously occupied spots in the Top 15 on the UK Singles Chart, which notably cemented Mimi Webb as “the first UK female artist, since Dua Lipa in 2017, to land two singles in the UK Top 15 before the release of her debut album.” After ultimately selling out her first ever UK tour starting this month in Dublin on October 28th and ending in London on November 2nd, next up, Mimi Webb will launch a 2022 UK and European headline tour.

MARINA has teamed up with Chicago indie popsters Beach Bunny for a new reimagining of her track, "I Love You But I Love Me More." MARINA’s original version of “I Love You But I Love Me More” is found on her new album, "Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land," available now via Neon Gold/Atlantic. "Ancient Dreams In A Modern" marks MARINA’s fifth studio album and first full-length release since 2019’s acclaimed "LOVE + FEAR." The self-penned new album – which sees MARINA co-producing five tracks alongside songwriter/producer James Flanigan (Dua Lipa, Carly Rae Jepsen, Hayley Kiyoko) and GRAMMY® Award-nominated producer/multi-instrumentalist Jennifer Decilveo (Andra Day, Bat For Lashes, Hinds) – includes such tracks as “Man’s World,” “Purge The Poison,” “Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land,” and “Venus Fly Trap,” all available now via DSPs and streaming services.

Former American Idol star David Archuleta has dropped a song called “Beast,” and it came just in time for the spooky season. Archuleta sings about his dark side on the excellent new track, comparing it to a monster inside him. Archuleta hyped the song on social media before its release on Thursday. Get ready to have it on repeat as Halloween gets closer, and we all unleash our inner beasts. Archuleta even references the full moon in the song’s lyrics, making us think of werewolves. He warns the person he’s singing to that he’ll “tear your heart out if you stay with me,” finishing the song by announcing, “Stay away, I’ll hurt you ’cause I’m dangerous.” The song has a great pop sound that will have you dancing in place as you listen. The 30-year-old was excited about the new track when he previewed it on social media. He sang along to the song with a smile on his face, making it hard to imagine him having the dark side he sings about. “Beast” is far from the first song Archuleta has released this year. He’s also shared tracks like “Losin’ Sleep,” “Movin’,” and “Be That for You.” Although the singer didn’t put the songs out to release a new album, he has considered an EP. Archuleta also told the site that he’s been taking choreography lessons to get better at Dancing, which he showed in the music video for “Movin.” Maybe we’ll see him on "Dancing with the Stars" one of these days.

Dancehall star Sean Paul has teamed up with pop star Sia for the track "Dynamite" as he first collaborated with Sia in 2016 on "Cheap Thrills." Sean Paul, Dancehall’s most sought-after artist for duets, has paid homage to the scores of female singers and deejays with whom he has collaborated on songs over the years. Released on December 17, 2015, as the fourth extract from the seventh album by Australian singer-songwriter Sia, "This Is Acting," was the protagonist of a remix version by the Jamaican rapper in February 2016. He is loved by the international audience as well as by critics; thanks to Sean's upbeat sound and Sia's signature vocals, "Cheap Thrills" reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming in effect Sia's first number-one single within the same chart, and Sean Paul's second since "Temperature" in 2006. Sean Paul has been a favourite of international artists seeking to add some Jamaican flavour to their songs. He has also collaborated with some of Dancehall’s hottest stars, including Mr. Vegas, Sasha, Lady Saw, Beenie Man. His Dancehall collaboration "Hot Gal Today" with Mr. Vegas was the first to propel him into the international spotlight. Unlike his last album, "Live N Livin," Paul’s upcoming album "Scorcher" will feature several female collaborators. They include Shenseea and Gwen Stefani on the Reggae-rock single tune called "Light My Fire."

Majid Jordan has released their third studio album entitled "Wildest Dreams," which kicked off in April with the release of “Waves Of Blue,” their first single in nearly three years. When the world came to a screeching halt in 2020, the Toronto-based duo had already mapped out a rough sketch of what they sought to accomplish that year. Plans inevitably changed, but they weren’t worried. Accepting the newfound abundance of time, singer Majid Al-Maskati and producer Jordan Ullman decided no rush to release new music. Instead, they used the break from life as a period of growth and reflection. Thus gave birth to their new album "Wildest Dreams," which is a project that, as Jordan explained to us, intends to offer a better understanding of Majid Jordan as both musicians and humans. It’s in part why it’s taken four years to release their follow-up to The Space Between. While the idea of releasing an album in the middle of the pandemic was admittedly daunting, Majid explained that "Wildest Dreams" is meant to be uplifting after the harrowing year that was 2020. “We wanted something that had lyrical content speaking about a life that’s worth living, speaking about aspiring to your wildest dreams, reminding people that it is possible. Believe in yourself. You’re capable. We felt that support," Majid said. The project has already spawned a trio of singles including “Waves of Blue,” “Been Through That,” and most recently, “Summer Rain.”

Country music group Lady A consisting of Charles Kelley, Hillary Scott and Dave Haywood, has been the leading group in Country music for the last 13 years, notching up plenty of hits and taking the genre to the international market. Coming two years after that commercial success, Lady A is back with their ninth studio album, "What a Song Can Do," completing the cycle started by June’s seven-song "Chapter One." Digging into the sounds that make them unmistakably Lady A while offering a wealth of variety, it feels like the band is experiencing a renaissance, and this is some of the best music they’ve released. The first seven songs from the record, including the lead single ‘Like A Lady,’ were released as the EP ‘What a Song Can Do (Chapter One)’ back in June, and a couple more songs have been released since. ‘What a Song Can Do’ is the sound of a band that has reconnected creatively and found its footing once again. Lady A remains at the forefront of modern Country, and when they’re releasing albums as strong as this, it’s hard to imagine anyone stealing their crown. With a wealth of material in their catalogue since they last performed in the UK, their return will be one that fans can’t miss, and these songs, along with the tracks on ‘Ocean,’ will make a fantastic setlist. Sheryl Crow once sang that ‘a change would do you good’ and since moving to Big Machine, Lady A are back on their way up.

Superstar Christina Aguilera had released a new song, and fans couldn’t be more excited. The five-time Grammy Award-winning unleashed her Spanish language track titled, “Pa’ Mis Muchachas.” The new song features Latin Grammy Award-nominated artists Nathy Peluso, Becky G, and Nicki Nicole. This past weekend, the Grammy Award-winning singer also teased what many think is her new album in Spanish. The new song celebrates female emancipation and the Latin sisterhood, thus recovering her roots as the daughter of an Ecuadorian. Furthermore, it constitutes the advance of the artist’s first album in Spanish in more than two decades since "My reflection" in 2000. She won a Grammy Award for Breakthrough Artist Aguilera (New York, 1980) rose to fame as a teenager with the hit single “Genie in a Bottle,” included in her self-titled debut in 1999. Later, with “My Reflection,” she earned a nomination for Latin Grammy, another for the Grammys and won two Latin Billboards, among other distinctions. Focused above all on her television aspect as a jury of talent competitions, in the last decade, her record releases have been scarce, which apart from the already mentioned "Liberation," were limited to "Lotus" (2012) and have not even obtained the commercial revenues of the previous works.
