I was like, shit, who the fuck am I now?” It’s a tricky question that often plagues the brokenhearted. When your partner leaves, where does that leave you? UPSAHL’s success undoubtedly stems from her ability to channel difficult experiences into irresistibly catchy songs, and her debut album, "Lady Jesus," maybe her best work yet.

  • NEW MUSIC: JESY NELSON | BOYZ (FEATURING NICKI MINAJ)

    Former Little Mix star Jesy Nelson has released her first solo single, "Boyz," less than a year after quitting the record-breaking girl group. The track samples Diddy’s “Bad Boy 4 Life,” which also appears in the music video. Nelson's trademark vibrato and butter-smooth harmonies are instantly recognizable, although her accent falls awkwardly between Texas, Jamaica and her hometown of Romford. Lyrically, the song was inspired by a "particularly painful break-up" that left the 30-year-old wondering: "'Why do I like bad boys, what is wrong with me? Why am I attracted to anyone that looks naughty?'" Minaj previously collaborated with Little Mix on the 2018 song “Woman Like Me.” She recently joined Bia on a remix of her single “Whole Lotta Money.” Earlier this year, she brought her 2009 mixtape "Beam Me Up Scotty" to streaming services with the new Drake and Lil Wayne–featuring single “Seeing Green.” She also joined Polo G on the new song “For the Love of New York.” This is also the first music video Minaj has appeared in since she expressed her concerns over the Covid-19 vaccination and tweeted about her cousin’s friend, who claimed the vaccination made his testicles swell. She famously did not attend the Met gala due to not being vaccinated.

  • NEW ALBUM: JUSTIN BIEBER | JUSTICE (THE COMPLETE EDITION) + VIDEO PREMIERE

    Canadian Grammy Award winner Justin Bieber has released the “complete edition” of his sixth studio album "Justice." The updated version includes the tracks “Red Eye,” “Angels Speak,” and “Hailey,”; the latter, of course, serves as a tribute to the artist’s wife of three years, Hailey Baldwin Bieber. Previously, the Triple Chucks Deluxe had added "There She Go" featuring Lil Uzi Vert, "I Can't Be Myself" (featuring Jaden), "Lifetime," "Wish You Would" (featuring Quavo), "Know No Better" featuring DaBaby and "Name" featuring Tori Kelly. Justice had climbed the top of the Billboard 200 charts with Justice in March. The feat had taken him to his eighth time at the top of the charts. Justin Bieber also became the youngest at 27 to have eight albums at the top in the USA. Four tracks from the album, "Holy," "Lonely," "Anyone," and "Hold On," reached the top 20 of the US Billboard 100. Two tracks from the album, "Peaches" and his album, "Justice," had also been on top simultaneously, making Justin only the third artist to achieve this feat.

This was seen in a teaser of the music video shared by the Grammy winner on Instagram.

  • NEW ALBUM: MADONNA | MADAME X: MUSIC FROM THE THEATRE XPERIENCE (LIVE)

    Ahead of The upcoming Madame X documentary film (mainly concert, plus her views on the US, especially the political climate during the US Leg of the Tour and her hip injury). Madonna has a new Live album described on its sleeve as "The Music Of A Theatrical Experience." The album features 20 songs for a 1 hour, 33 minutes running time and is 2021 Boy Toy Inc. under exclusive license to Warner Records LLC., marking Madonna’s first new release under her new deal with Warner Music Group. As a film soundtrack, this recording of the “Madame X Tour” Madonna takes us on a journey to the heart of her latest tour with the documentary “Madame X.” Available in streaming on Paramount + and broadcast in France on MTV Hits 9 pm, this film combining making-of and concert is a plunge into the theatrical universe of the show extraordinary which she presented between September and March 2020 in a selection of very chic venues in front of 180,000 lucky fans, including at the Grand Rex Paris where she took the stage for eight evenings, just before the sudden interruption of the tour due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

  • VIDEO PREMIERE: WALKER HAYES | FANCY LIKE (FEATURING KESHA)

    Country music singer-songwriter Walker Hayes dropped a new music video for “Fancy Like” featuring American singer-songwriter Kesha. In August, the song was released from his latest EP, “Country Stuff,” which reached No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart and No. 5 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Filmed in Los Angeles and directed by Rehman Ali, the rising country star and the pop princess prove that two very different people can find a lot of common ground if the mood is right. Find them grilling hot dogs on the car engine, splashing around and just generally having a good time, redneck tailgate style. "This song came out of a conversation about the misconceptions that celebrities or artists live a lavish lifestyle, and it’s important for folks to know that’s not necessarily true," Hayes explains about the video. There is no question that this song — which Hayes co-wrote with Cameron Bartolini, Shane Stevens and Josh Jenkins — is genre-less. It has been a TikTok smash, and the new video can be seen on mainstream broadcast channels like MTV; the collaboration is even spilling over to pop radio.

  • NEW ALBUM: JESSE MCCARTNEY | NEW STAGE

    Jesse McCartney didn’t plan to take a seven-year break between albums, but in the end, it was for the best. After this long hiatus which was further lengthened after the pandemic, he postponed the album’s release, and today he unleashes his new album, "New Stage," which was a long time in the making. Fans first met McCartney in the ‘90s as an actor on "All My Children" and member of the boy band Dream Street, but 2004’s infectiously flirty “Beautiful Soul” made him a full-fledged teen heartthrob. Following the success of his Billboard top 20 single, McCartney became a mainstay on Disney Channel, which served as a launching pad for later hits like “Leavin’” and “How Do You Sleep?” McCartney calls the material “easy listening pop” and still holds up even after a year of collecting dust (he’s made some minor tweaks), only because he sees it as far more organic than “trendy.” His last two projects -- 2008’s "Departure" and 2014’s "In Technicolor" saw a six-year break between them. And as long as that break may seem, even with his latest album hiatus in mind, the vocalist knows that no matter how long he waits to share projects or no matter how long they wait to be cleared, time will continue to be on his side. This year is shaping up to be an exciting one with his wedding on the horizon, the release of his new album, along the return to touring.

  • NEW ALBUM: AJ MITCHELL | SKYVIEW

    20-year-old rising pop sensation AJ Mitchell has released his long-awaited debut album "Skyview" that features previously released tracks, including the top-40 singles “Stop” and “Slow Dance,” featuring Ava Max, as well as “Growing Pains,” “Cameras On,” and his most recent track, “One More Fight.” AJ Mitchell, songwriting began when he was young —young, like, five years old. It started at the foot of his father, whose prized possession was an old keyboard. While Mitchell’s parents would “blast” Stevie Wonder, KISS, Enya, classical music, and other varieties around the house, it was listening to his dad write and play that sparked everything. Mitchell says he wanted to compete with his pops at the effort, even then. “I had a huge passion for it and such a love,” Mitchell says, “Really, there was nothing else that compared to my love for music. Before school, I would write songs. During school, I would think about music. After school, I would hop on the piano and start writing.” Mitchell displays his signature singing ability and pop draw on his new record, making him a talked-about artist (see: “Slow Dance”). But he also demonstrates a reflective side. For example, on the track “Miss You,” Mitchell speaks openly about death, specifically, the idea of his parents passing away. With all of the songs from "Skyview." AJ Mitchell has indeed come into his own, showcasing his knack for great storytelling.

  • NEW ALBUM: OH WONDER | 22 BREAK

    The English alt-pop duo of Josephine Vander Gucht and Anthony West is known as Oh Wonder, are back and have released their fourth studio album, "22 Break." Written autonomously in their home studio, the songs that form it are messages about their true feelings, expressed before they could find the words to say to one another. It’s an honest and powerfully beautiful record and one that lets listeners into the Oh Wonder fold like never before. As Josephine puts it: “We were writing songs. We had no idea we were writing a break-up album.” Creating the record seemed to be quite the catharsis for the musical duo and real-life couple, who addressed the unspoken tensions through their songwriting, crafting the tracks rife with valid feelings and brutal honesty that will colour the various themes of "22 Break." With topics swirling around loneliness, inadequacy, resentment, and fears for the future, the process of music eventually helped bring them back together, as after the album was finished, the pair travelled together in September of last year and cleared the air, fresh off experiencing the other’s feelings in the writing and recording process. With a happy ending in sight, Vander Gucht and West got married this past summer. "22 Break serves as the follow-up to 2020s "No One Else Can Wear Your Crown," is billed as a “new chapter” for the duo, despite the themes of it all coming crashing down.

  • NEW ALBUM: JAMES BLAKE | FRIENDS THAT BREAK YOUR HEART

    Singer and producer James Blake has released his fifth studio album, "Friends That Break Your Heart," which has what he calls “a Ronseal title.” It’s all about the uneasy emotional terrain we find ourselves treading when friendships end. This subject matter is perfect for an artist who enjoys nudging his clever, melancholy electronica into experimental sonic zones. The 33-year-old built his name on music scattered with awkward silences and elegantly constructed synth-soul melodies, pitch-shifted and dub stepped anxiously around their soft centres. Although, "Friends That Break Your Heart" isn’t a total return to the wintry grey-blue detachments of Blake’s earlier work. The sadness he expresses here is more engaged and autumnal, as he thinks about the friends he left behind while moving from England to America. He was born and raised in Greater London. Now a resident of Los Angeles—he arrived on the scene at an exciting time for electronic music in the U.K. Now age 33, he released his first single in 2009 and was instantly among the most promising producers working in the realm of what was sometimes called post-dubstep, alongside others such as Untold and Mount Kimbie. "Friends That Break Your Heart" follows 2019’s "Assume Form," Blake issued two EPs last year: "Covers" and "Before." He’s also contributed to new projects by Slowthai, Starrah, and Flatbush Zombies. He’s still set to tour the United States this fall.

  • NEW MUSIC: MIRAA | GO GIRL (FEAT. RAYE)

    Miraa May has unveiled a new RAYE collaboration, "Go Girl," which is the first taste of her debut album, which has yet to be announced. Although Miraa May has collaborated with the likes of Ghetts, Sainté and Hamzaa this year, "Go Girl" marks the Algeria-born, Tottenham-raised artist's first release as the lead artist since last year's "Lemme Talk" with Louis Rei. As the track title suggests, this collaboration is an uplifting one that hears Miraa and RAYE trade vocals to create a new anthem for all the ladies. Miraa May says, "I’m so excited for my first release in a whole year! Crazier that it’s the first drop off my debut album, and to top that off, I got to write it with the incredible RAYE, couldn’t have asked for more." In the accompanying music video directed by Sheena Brobbey and Miraa herself, the visuals provide us with a fun yet powerful display of female empowerment as the two singers let their hair down during a staycation! Miraa May shared on social media, “First drop off the album! wrote this one with my sister RAYE about us, about you, about all of the sisterhood in the world: we love you, ladies! produced by the wonderful Eyes x PB. This video means so much to me! Me and my girls had so much fun,"

  • NEW MUSIC: JOAN | SO DONE

    Arkansas-based alt-pop duo ​joan, consisting of Alan Benjamin Thomas and Steven Rutherford, released a new song “so done” from their upcoming EP “bye.” "So Done" is a punchy, guitar-laden kiss-off to a relationship gone sour. Alongside the track, joan has shared an accompanying video in which Alan from the band gets entangled by an ever-growing telephone wire during a break-up. "so done" is from "bye," one of two upcoming EPs (hi & bye) due for release in December via Photo Finish Records, while hi lands a month earlier. joan (Alan Benjamin Thomas and Steven Rutherford) have spent the past few years building their musical empire, single by single, tour date by tour date, with the past two years being landmarks for them; their debut EP, 2019’s "portra," and last year’s EP cloudy have been streamed well over 90 million times, with over a million listeners a month across streaming platforms.

Early 2020 saw them playing to sold-out crowds across the US on their first headline tour, including having to add additional shows in LA to accommodate ticket demand.

  • NEW ALBUM: DILLON FRANCIS | HAPPY MACHINE

    In celebration of his 34th birthday, the beloved dance music producer and jokester has released his third album, "Happy Machine." The record is far from Francis' rowdy 2014 debut, "Money Sucks, Friends Rule," in terms of its sound. But that doesn't make it any less impressive. As the title implies, Happy Machine is the happiest music of Francis’ career, with an infectious house spirit that courses throughout. Made amid the pandemic, "Happy Machine" serves as a positive re-entry into the world and a celebration of life, family and friends. The album features previously released tracks ‘Unconditional’ with 220 KID and Bryn Christopher, "Love Me Better" with Shift K3Y and Marc E.

    The Juno nominated an alternative pop act comprised of four best friends amid coming-of-age, navigating life and music in real-time. Now, Valley has shared their new EP "Last Birthday" via Capitol Records/Universal Music Canada. The new collection combines four previously released singles with three new tracks. "Last Birthday" pulls together a year’s worth of continuous releases. It “is the least over-thought body of work we’ve created yet,” Valley explains. “A fluid stream of creativity that wasn’t interrupted by worrying about what other people would think. The seven-track collection features “Like 1999,” “SOCIETY,” “Tempo,” and “Oh shit…are we in love?” It also boasts new tunes “Can We Make It (Jim Carrey),” “ain’t my girl,” and “Cure.” “Cure” also comes accompanied by a video that sees Valley saving music one instrument at a time. “Last Birthday is about unconditional love, whether it’s romantic or platonic,” Valley explains. “We all have that person in our life that we would pick up at the airport at 4 am without hesitation. The person that could sleep on your couch when times are tough. Maybe you don’t have to speak every day, or distance keeps you apart…regardless, they are a constant in your life until your last birthday.” With a rising tide of TikTok fame and a heavy dose of lyrical nostalgia as the band repeatedly reminisce on turn-of-the-millennium pop cultural staples, Valley is the perfect soundtrack for new beginnings with old friends.

  • NEW MUSIC: WHY DON'T WE | LOVE BACK

    American boy band Why Don't We, consisting of Jack Avery, Corbyn Besson, Zach Herron, Jonah Marais and Daniel Seavey, has released a brand new song, “Love Back."

  • NEW MUSIC: KYLIE MINOGUE & YEARS & YEARS | A SECOND TO MIDNIGHT

    Kylie Minogue has released a new collaborative track with Years & Years entitled A Second To Midnight’ co-written by Olly Alexander.

  • SONGS YOU NEED TO HEAR THIS WEEK

    SKYLAR GREY, POLO, MOZZY & EMINEM | LAST ONE STANDING Earlier this week, news broke that there would be a new track from Skylar Grey that featured Polo G, Mozzy, and Eminem. Fans have been speculating weeks prior that this track would be released. The new song entitled “Last One Standing” is part of the soundtrack for the new Venom 2 move: "Venom: Let There Be Carnage" which Eminem, who is featured also cut the title track for the first in the "Venom" franchise, as well as Mozzy and Polo G. “The way this song came together was the perfect storm," she comments. "Venom is one of my favourite superheroes because he’s an antihero, and I relate to that. Also, Tom Hardy is one of my favourite actors. So I’m honoured to be a part of this.” This is not the first time she and Eminem have worked together as their previous collaborations, such as “Black Magic” from Eminem’s "Music To Be Murdered By: Side B" and “Leaving Heaven” feature of the first version of that project. The epic new song is “Partly Cloudy With A Chance Of Tears,'' the first single from Grey’s forthcoming album. JLS | ONE DAY English boyband JLS dropped a new tune as the second teaser of their forthcoming fifth album, "2.0," and, after sharing the single online, they opened up about the inspiration behind it. The band said: "This is a song for ALL our day ones!! For everyone whos been there from the very beginning, who supported us since the X Factor and even before. It was about time we wrote a song specifically dedicated to our supporters, and we hope the fans are going to love it!" JLS is also set to embark on a 28-date 'Beat Again Tour,' which kicks off on October 20 in Glasgow, and they are determined to party hard on the road. JLS announced their long-awaited reunion shows last year but were forced to delay the concerts because of the coronavirus pandemic. Despite this, Marvin previously admitted that he'd already waited for years to bring them all back together. The new album features an all-star array of musical heavyweights with Steve Mac, Wayne Hector, TMS and Lost Boy. This will be the hitmakers' first album since 2012's 'Evolution,' which is set to follow on December 3, 2021. AIDEN BISSETT | DUMPED Aidan Bissett returns with an introspective, headbanging, feel-good anthem, "Dumped," for anyone who’s ever been dumped. The song he co-produced with Ryan Daly (Fitz and the Tantrums, Adam Lambert, Cyn) after writing the guitar-driven break-up song, Bissett took to TikTok to explain how the track came together. “Getting dumped is the worst feeling in the world, but screaming this song will make you feel a whole lot better,” says Aidan Bissett. “The song is about learning that you are better off on your own and that it’s okay to be alone.” “Dumped” is the follow-up to “So High,” which "Euphoria" praised as “a certified summer bop; this song demands to be played after dark either by the pool or the beach with a fire roaring nearby and drinks being passed around among friends. Born in Florida, Bissett was raised on classic rock bands like Led Zeppelin and AC/DC. He moved to Oregon with his family when he was five and started playing electric guitar in second grade. When his family moved back to Florida, he began teaching himself to produce his music. A year ago, Bissett released his first single, “Different,” which immediately gained traction online. GRACIE ABRAMS | FEELS LIKE It's a special kind of love that Gracie Abrams captivates in her new song “ Feels Like ”: unconditional, simple, irreplaceable - a feeling that can only be found in the best of friendships. The company inspired the songwriter with her best friend, and when the two lived together in New York and took the train to Connecticut to watch the new "Harry Styles Fanfiction Movie." In the lyrics of the song, you can quickly find this situation: " The train was cold, we left Connecticut / We stayed a couple of hours / Our clothes matched enough to throw me off a bit / Your phone was playing“ Towers,” and I / I would do whatever you wanted / We don't have to leave the apartment / Met you at the right time / This is what it feels like." From light, intimate piano sounds at the beginning of the song to the full, sweeping bridge, and the song manages to capture the different facets of a friendship beautifully and musically. The song follows the emotional single “ Mess It Up” and proves the singer's talent for writing. ROBERT GRACE | BREAK THE SILENCE 28-year-old Irish singer-songwriter Robert Grace has been making waves lately, gaining millions of views, followers, and streams all across social media. He has now released his new song entitled "Break The Silence," with an accompanying video for the track. Last year, his single “Fake Fine” went platinum in Ireland and spent five weeks at #1 on the Irish Homegrown and Shazam Ireland Charts. Fans go crazy for his music, and after listening to Robert’s latest single, it is clear why. In “Break The Silence,” we hear about the temptation of wanting to reach out to someone from a relationship that has run its course, despite knowing better. Over a casual pop beat, Robert sings about how lonely feelings and a few drinks can lead to annoying late-night texts. The accompanying video for the track brings this story to life, as we see a couple arguing on the phone and through text messages. In between these scenes, Robert performs the way in vibrant alleyways and rooms, tying the characters and the lyrics together. Surprisingly, the couple comes face to face at the end of the video, but not in the way you might think. DYLAN | SOMEONE ELSE Rising star Dylan has released her latest single, “Someone Else,” which has just taken her to a whole new level. After removing the vibey "Nineteen" in August, which has already garnered almost two million plays and has quickly risen to her #1 track on Spotify, Dylan blesses listeners with “Someone Else,” an emotion-filled, energetic pop tune with an explosive chorus. On the title drop, big, swinging drums come in to accompany Dylan’s distorted voice and guitar, acting as a massive cathartic release. It’s a relatable pain that we’ve all felt before, which makes that moment hit even more challenging. This first chorus doesn’t overstay its welcome, as the tune quickly returns to the soothing verse to build up the energy all over again. This is a track I see myself listening to on repeat for a good couple of months, and I will say that that doesn’t happen too often. There’s truly nothing like a catchy pop track that feels fresh and energizing, and Dylan’s latest track is just that, something that inspires creativity. When tracks like these come along, we’re reminded of the power and beauty of music.

  • NEW MUSIC: FLEURIE | SUPERTROPICALI

    Nashville-based alt-pop singer-songwriter Lauren Strahm, aka Fleurie, is back with a new song, “Supertropicali," since her 2018 album “Portals." You’ve probably seen her tease this new chapter on social media for about a month, and now it is finally here! The glorious “Supertropicali” is the beginning of a new era for the singer. Lauren Strahm said of the song, “‘Supertropicali’ is the first page of a story that found me over the last several years and wouldn’t let me go. I continually dreamt about it at night and imagined creating the world inside my head and telling this coming-of-age story of a girl from Japan who moved to Los Angeles at 17, curious and full of wide-eyed wonder. Her name is Serenity, and I found myself telling her story as much as letting her tell mine. ‘Supertropicali’ is the falling-down-the-rabbit-hole moment into the wild world of LA as Serenity perceives it.” The track follows the coming of age story of a girl from Japan who moves to Los Angeles at the ripe age of 17; its accompanying video chock full of 90’s/2000’s nostalgia and starry-eyed wonder as one begins a brand new, exciting chapter in their lives – and that’s only the beginning! More details are set to be revealed with each track release, culminating with the unveiling of the singer’s forthcoming third album.
