Daughtry has released their new album, "Dearly Beloved" in which the 13-track effort features the Billboard Hard Rock Digital Songs Sales chart #1 and Top 20 Active Rock radio hit "Heavy Is The Crown", along with instant pre-order gift track "Lioness" via Dogtree Records, and ADA Worldwide. With a string of hits and memorable anthems already behind him, "Dearly Beloved," adds even more to the collection, hitting mainly the right notes. And a few maybe that sound overly familiar and comfortable. On "Dearly Beloved" Chris Daughtry sings his ass off for all of near fifty-minute runtime. For the most part, he steps into the role of the sage pandit, not merely commenting on the utter crap of the world today ("World on Fire", "The Victim"), but also encouraging the listener to look ahead to brighter days ("Changes Are Coming", "Dearly Beloved"). “Dearly Beloved” will mark Daughtry’s sixth studio album and follows his 2018 release, “Cage to Rattle.” The new album was produced by Jacquire King. Daughtry, one of the most visible and consistent Rock & Roll torchbearers of the 21st Century, has sold over 9 million albums and 16million singles worldwide as well as selling out concerts across the globe. In related news, the band's upcoming headlining in-person tour kicking off this November 2021 and featuring rock legends and fellow collaborators SEVENDUST, TREMONTI, and TRAVIS BRACHT.

Singer-songwriter Enrique Iglesias released his eleventh studio album entitled "Final." It will include collaborations with several artists and will occur in Volume 1 and Volume 2 and "Final" is expected to be the last album of Iglesias's career. The Spanish singer explained to Elvis Duran and the Morning Show in the Mercedes-Benz Interview Lounge, why he decided to make this his last album, “I made this decision a few years ago. Like the album title says ‘Final,’ it is final…. A lot of times when it comes to albums, you have to write a lot of songs. Nowadays I feel like I'm going through this chapter in my life, I’ve been through it, I’ve done it, this is my 11th album and I wanted to move on. I wanted to be able to do it in a different way. Albums I write 40, 50, 60 songs and that can take a lot of time.” Although the father of three (who has been with former tennis star Anna Kournikova for over 20 years) clarified that he won’t ever officially get out of the industry. “I’m never going to stop making music and writing songs, I love it, but I’m going to do it another way, not necessarily packaged as an album,” said the Spanish native who calls Miami home. “It takes forever to make albums.” The album will be the follow-up to Iglesias' "Sex and Love," which he released in 2014. After releasing "Final Vol. 1" he will hit the road with Ricky Martin on their first-ever co-headlining North America arena tour, which kicks off Sept. 25 in Las Vegas at MGM Grand Garden Arena.

The Jonas brothers that consist of Nick, Joe, and Kevin Jonas has dropped their latest single titled “Who’s In Your Head” The track is an upbeat pop number bolted onto a funky guitar refrain and featuring some chandelier-busting falsetto. On it, the lads sing: “I wanna know who’s in your head/ Stealing your heart while I’m still bleeding/ Who’s in your bed/ Wrapped in your arms while I ain’t sleeping/ Got lost in your halo halo/ I just wanna know Now who’s in your head in your head.” "Who's In Your Head" is the fourth release from the trio this year, following "Remember This" and "Leave Before You Love Me," as well as "Mercy" from the "Space Jam: A New Legacy" original motion picture soundtrack. Over the weekend, the trio premiered the new song during their headlining set at the famed Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, and have since shared a teaser on TikTok. Earlier this month, the band was at the center of the Olympic Games. In celebration of the conclusion to the 2021 Tokyo Games, the Jonas Brothers shared an exclusive NBC edition of their single “Remember This” with a performance of the track as part of the closing ceremony festivities.

Lil Nas X has unleashed his first full-length debut studio album "Montero" which includes the singles “Montero (Call Me by Your Name),” “Sun Goes Down,” and “Industry Baby.” the alum includes of the biggest singers such as songs with Jack Harlow, Doja Cat, Elton John, Megan Thee Stallion, and Miley Cyrus. “Creating this album has been therapy for me,” he said in a statement. “I’ve learned to let go of trying to control people’s perception of who I am, what I can do, and where I will be. I’ve realized the only opinion of me that really matters is my own.” Lil Nas started this music era with the title track “MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name),” which saw him brazenly putting his sexuality at the forefront. “Dear 14-year-old Montero, I wrote a song with our name in it,” he wrote in May. “I know we promised to never come out publicly, I know we promised to never be ‘that’ type of gay person, I know we promised to die with this secret, but this will open doors for many other queer people to simply exist.” Lil Nas X wants fans to experience "Montero" as a complete album, rather than focus on some individual songs, as it tells the story of his personal and professional journey so far. “I wanted people to get to know Montero,” he says, referring to his birth name. “Get to know my life story, to hear things that are happening in my life — things that have happened, and things I'm hoping for. Past, present, future, you know?”

British singer-songwriter Louisa Rose Allen, aka Foxes, mainly known for her feature on the 2012 worldwide Zedd smash Clarity, is back with her new single Sister Ray... and the song is a major bop. Borrowing heavily from Robyn's wheelhouse, the dance track was written at the peak of the pandemic and longs for the time when we could go out all night and dance our worries away. The song is her first single since her second EP “Friends In The Corner”, which was released back in April, and wrote and recorded the song during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. Foxes said of the song, “Hi Fox is here, and this is my brand new single Sister Ray, it was written at the height of lockdown. When I was craving a really, really wild night out with my friend. I remember writing it on Zoom, and bouncing off the ceiling, trying to imagine a line like that ever being possible again and just wanting to write some of them could just take me like. Sending lots of love to you all, and I hope you enjoy it.” She is best known for her feature on Zedd's 2012 single "Clarity", which peaked at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 and won a Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording. "Sister Ray" is also accompanied by news of Foxes' third album and first in over five years. "Kick It," written and recorded remotely during the pandemic is due for release on February 11. 2022 via [PIAS] Recordings.

Kehlani recently made the surprise announcement that her third studio album—and sixth overall project—would be arriving this winter. Entitled, "Blue Water Road." Now she gives of taste of that project with the release of her new single "Altar" which is a swooning hit of pop-R&B that finds Kehlani (who uses she/they pronouns) crooning over a crisp drum skip and a mix of sparkling, swaying synths and guitars. The track also arrives with an accompanying music video, directed by Kid Studio, and starring Diovanna LaBeija alongside Kehlani. On Twitter, she explained the single’s meaning. “To all those, I have lost, all the angels I have gained, all those that walk with me with hands cracking my chest open, this is for you. I love you! #ALTAR THANK YOU,” shared the 26-year-old. “Altar” marks Kehlani’s first solo single of 2021, though it’s far from their first song of the year. They’ve dropped a handful of collaborations as well, including “I Like Dat” with T-Pain, “Love You Too” with Lil Durk, and “Back Together” with Amorphous. Kehlani did not share any additional details about her upcoming new album, "Blue Water Road," like an exact release date or tracklist.

Singer and songwriter Emeli Sandè unveiled her first solo release of 2021 titled "Family", alongside a Lewis Cater-directed video. The new single was written and recorded at Sandé's home during the pandemic and marks her first release on Chrysalis Records. Emeli said, “I am thrilled by my new partnership with the legendary Chrysalis Records! I have been inspired by many of the artists in their impressive catalogs. I’m very proud to now be a part of this legacy. The unreserved belief and respect they have shown to me and my music give me great faith that this is the perfect home for my fourth album. I very much look forward to our future together and the exciting journey ahead!” Sandé also says of the track, "Family" marks a new beginning on many levels for me. It’s an ode to resilience, rebirth, and renewal! It was created last year in my home studio, a time and place in which I felt more creative freedom than ever before. I hope that it uplifts and empowers each listener!" Emeli’s debut album "Our Version of Events" spent ten weeks at number 1 on the UK album charts and became the best-selling UK album of 2012. "Heaven" which married her soaring vocal with gospel and breakbeat reached Number 2 in the UK singles chart. In 2016, she released "Long Live the Angels," which reached number 2 on the UK album chart and her last album Real Life went Top 10 in 2019.

Soon after she dropped her seven-song collection, "29," in February 2021, Carly Pearce began hinting that she wasn't done with that musical chapter. now she has dropped the expanded project into a 15-song full-length album called "29: Written in Stone." The fleshed-out collection, sees Pearce continuing to document a weighty, challenging life stage marked by the unexpected death of her friend and producer, Busbee, as well as her June 2020 divorce from Michael Ray, who was at the time her husband of just eight months. But, as Pearce wrote, in the wake of the heartbreak, "Some unbelievable things started happening." Just days before her divorce went public, Pearce landed her second No. 1 on Billboard's Country Airplay chart with the apologetic Lee Brice collaboration "I Hope You're Happy Now," which went on to win Pearce her first Country Music Award and Academy of Country Music Award (she took home two ACMs, including Single of the Year). Pearce makes it a point to spotlight her admiration for and friendship with the women of contemporary country music on the project, Her latest single is the confessional story-song "Never Wanted to Be That Girl," that is with Ashley McBryde which documents a woman's heartache as she uncovers fundamental dishonesty at the root of her relationship with the man she loves.

Norwegian own singer-songwriter Emma Steinbakken released a new song “Sorry” in which the 18-year-old now gently settles accounts with her ex-boyfriend in her new single. Emma Steinbakken's current boyfriend plays the male role in the video clip. “I had the idea to have him act in front of the camera but dropped the idea because I found it kind of strange to show my friend in public. In the end, however, I wanted to have him with me because the video shows a lot of physical contacts, it turned out to be a pretty intimate statement. " The song is followed up with her latest collaboration song “Self” with Robert Grace, which was released back in July. It was written by Cato Sundberg, Dagny, Emelie Hollow, Emma Steinbakken, Espen Berg, Kent Sundberg, Lasse Michelsen and Simen Eriksrud. She shared on social media, “Hei. This is a song about a relationship with my Ex. He's a great guy who instantly fell in love with me when we first met. I had a crush on him, but I wasn't smitten by him despite him being funny, handsome and very kind. My mum thought he was gorgeous, all my friends loved him, everyone around me wanted us to be a couple, which resulted in me feeling guilty. I secretly hoped that I was gradually going to be in love with him, but it didn't happen. To get rid of the crippling feeling of guilt, but also to clarify why I had to end our fling, I wrote 'Sorry.”

Singer-songwriter Charlotte OC has released a new song “Mexico” along with a music video. With previous singles “Bad Bitch”, “Forest”, “Bad News” and “Centre of the Universe” setting the tone for her forthcoming full-length album, "Here Comes Trouble," due to drop October 15trh 2021. This is Charlotte’s most honest & vulnerable work This shows Charlotte broke and on the floor, mending the shattered pieces of her heart & forced to face her inner demons. You won’t get any more real than this. "Mexico" is the moment Charlotte realized her then the relationship was falling apart, consider it the precursor to Bad News that she dropped earlier this year. Charlotte explains “I wrote this song when my boyfriend at the time was away with work and we weren’t speaking much. I missed him a lot and wasn’t getting much from him, so this song is what I wished he was saying to me, but in reality, he wasn’t saying a lot.” The music video was directed by Charlotte OC herself. “I'm so proud and excited for this video as it's the first video I've ever directed,” she said. “I and Jan came together to bring alive an idea I had, to demonstrate my emotional state when making the song. Mexico is all about my ex being away during a time when we weren't great. I was trying to get his attention and to show him how much I loved him.”

Indie-pop artist Mark Ambor works through these emotions in his new bop, "The Long Way" which focuses on the importance of holding out for something, or someone, good. Musically, the track is an uplifting pop hit, filled with feel-good guitar riffs and encouraging percussion. Mark’s endearing vocals tie everything together, bringing more light to an already sunny space. A little less than a year ago, indie-pop artist Mark Ambor was flying under the radar. He had a few tracks to his name, a couple of thousand Instagram followers, and lots of patience. Mark was posting covers and snippets of music, hoping that something would stick – and it did. Fast-forward to today and Mark’s 2,000 followers have turned into 238,000 followers and counting. Giving us more about the inspiration for the track, Mark shared, Many of us have that person in our lives that no matter how much time has passed, every time you see them and every time you talk to them, it feels like nothing has changed. I found myself in that place of wanting more than just a friendship with that person, but knowing, for a few reasons, that for the time being we were better off as friends. ‘The Long Way’ is about that underlying feeling that things will work out one day with that person.”

CHVRCHES, recently celebrating the release of their horror-inspired LP "Screen Violence," has just shared a brand new rendition of Gerard McMahon‘s“Cry Little Sister”, the iconic theme song to Joel Schumacher’s 1987 "The Lost Boys!" The band’s version of the track appears on the soundtrack of the new Netflix film "Nightbooks," which is released today (September 15). “We were so excited to work on this project as we are big fans of everyone involved,” the band said in a statement. “Cinema — horror in particular — has always been a big part of Chvrches behind the scenes. We have talked about covering ‘Cry Little Sister’ for years, and this seemed like the perfect moment to do it.” A synopsis for "Nightbooks" reads: “Scary story fan Alex must tell a spine-tingling tale every night, or stay trapped with his new friend in a wicked witch’s magical apartment forever.” Only last month CHVRCHES released their fourth full-length album "Screen Violence." The LP features singles “Good Girls”, “How Not to Drown” featuring The Cure’s Robert Smith, and “He Said She Said”. Speaking about the record, frontwoman Lauren Mayberry stated: “I think for me it was helpful to go into the process with the idea that I could write something escapist almost,” Mayberry explains of the album. “That felt freeing initially, to have concepts and stories to weave your feelings and experiences through but in the end, all the lyrics were still personal.”

Alt-pop duo Bahari is back with their new track “Ways of love” which is the follow-up to their EP “Forget You.“ The verses slip into a bold and breathy hook, and combining sensual delivery and effervescent instrumentation, it captures the sentiment of the fleeting moment just before love takes over. The duo says: “‘Ways of Love’ is about that moment and feeling right before you finally give in to falling in love with someone. It’s about that decision to trust someone with your heart and to learn the way that they love.” The EP includes fan favourites such as a remix of the Gold-certified “Savage” [feat. “Whole Lotta Money” rapper BIA], “Jackie Kennedy,” and “Bipolar” have collectively generated 20 million streams and counting to date. Along with a live-streamed roundtable discussion moderated by Hayley Hasselhoff – actor, model, self-acceptance coach, and host of the new podcast, Redefine You: A Conversation for Wellbeing, the initiative included an auction of AI-fueled NFT’s culled from the “Bipolar” music video itself. The visual features a storyline that depicts manic mood swings between its pair of on-screen couples, dramatized with an evocative overlay of effects and graphics generated entirely in AI by Seyhan Lee and AI artist Lulu XXX.

LA Pop-trap singer and songwriter Jake Miller has dropped a pop-punk banger titled "I Forgot About You" which is the perfect mood refresher, Jake shares, “My new single ‘I Forgot About You’ was so much fun to make. I’ve always wanted to incorporate pop-punk into my music, with real electric guitars and real drums. I grew up listening to bands like The Almost, The Starting Line, Blink 182, and Boys Like Girls. I think this song is the perfect mixture of my classic pop sound with a bunch of the bands I grew up on.” The new single “I Forgot About You”, arrives as Miller is gearing up to embark on his 33-date “hi, I missed you” fall North American headline tour kicking off next week alongside special guests Fly By Midnight, Just Seconds Apart, and Band of Silver. Since 2020, Miller has released a slew of singles all featured on his latest 21-song album "Silver Lining II," the follow up to his 2018 "Silver Lining" LP, that includes the fiery “Saved me,” bouncy follow up “Blame It On You,” the Friends-inspired love song “Ross And Rachel,” EDM bangers “Reset” and “Adderall,” upbeat collab “Jumpin” with Miles, the stripped-back pop anthem “Simple Life,” and trippy, catchy track “Crystal Ball,” all of which showcase Miller’s redefined “pop trap”

Swedish singer-songwriter Clara Mae has released her latest single, "Crash" via Universal Music Sweden. Clara Mae has firmly established herself in the industry by co-writing with big names such as David Guetta, Tiesto and Martin Jensen as well as featuring in songs by the likes of R3HAB and Frank Walker, amongst others. The stunning single ‘Crash’ was written by Clara Mae in collaboration with Cassandra Ströberg, Johan Lindbrant and Madelene Eliasson, who also produced the song. The song was mixed and mastered by Lars Norgen, who has previously worked with Tove Lo. While creating her own music, the singer calls upon the likes of Holly Humberstone, Troye Sivan and Kacey Musgraves. for inspiration. In turn, her sound calls to mind the contemporary stylings of Halsey, Tove Lo, Sigrid and Astrid S. No more overthinking, no more self-doubt: dare to lose control and fall head over heels for Clara Mae with her latest single ‘Crash’. The singer has taken a classic, elegant tones and filled them with hope, radiating love and affection to the simple moments that carry a relationship. Here's what Clara said about her new single, “I think many people are scared to really let themselves fall head over heels in love with someone. It’s scary to be vulnerable. Will the happiness you feel right now be worth the pain if it ends? For me, yes. He will be the best I’ll ever have even if we crash.”

Alice Merton found big success with her 2017 breakthrough single “No Roots,” which continued with her 2019 album "Mint." This year she’s returned with new music, including the apocalyptic hit “Vertigo” that mirrored the feeling that your sense of stability is slipping through your fingers like sand. Today, she’s returned with two new tracks that follow Merton’s enlivened sense of self, titled “Hero” and “Island,” which is the follow-up to the apocalyptic hit “Vertigo” that mirrored the feeling that your sense of stability is slipping through your fingers like sand. The former is a tug-of-war between wanting to save someone and block them from your mind completely. Merton’s voice is veiled behind a vocoder as synths prance around her in the background. But this track has a hard shell, recalling the punchy reflective pop songs of Christina Aguilera or Kelly Clarkson. “Island,” filled with remorse and determination to make things right, resides at the other end of the spectrum from its counterpart. Here is what she said on releasing two tracks, "I decided to put out two songs, partly because I see “Island” as the prequel to “Hero.” I keep thinking if “Hope” was a spectrum, “Island” and “Hero” would be at opposite ends. “Island” showcases a desperate need for survival, whereas “Hero” confronts a realistic and slightly pessimistic fate, waving the white flag and admitting to its defeat."

JAMES BLUNT | LOVE UNDER PRESSURE James Blunt premieres more magic with the release of his stellar new song "Love Under Pressure," which is one of four new tracks taken from his forthcoming greatest hits album, "The Stars Beneath My Feet" (2004-2021)" which drops on November 19th on Atlantic Records. The track is co-written by singer-songwriter Jack Savoretti and produced by LA songwriting duo Afterhrs, known for their work with One Direction and Maroon 5. Building on an infectious piano-driven hook, the tune displays a powerful vocal performance from James over hypnotic dance floor beats. He says of the track: “Earlier this year during the lockdown, I was lucky enough to have a Zoom writing session with the very talented Jack Savoretti. “We had never worked together before, but our managers thought it might be a good idea to get us together to do some writing. I’m very pleased we did." James’ classic 2004 debut album ‘Back To Bedlam’ was recently named one of the top ten best-selling albums of that decade. James Blunt reinforced his reputation for writing honest, emotional songs that people can easily relate to with' Once Upon A Mind. CHRISTOPHER | IF IT WEREN'T FOR YOU Danish singer Christopher released his new single "If It Weren't For You" just months after dropping his new album. In the song, we get nice pop that subtly flirts with the '80s and connects to the singer's new sound. Music has been very much about girls, sex and looking good. But since the 2019 album "Under The Surface," there has been a shift where Christopher instead started singing about a fake world and how he really feels. Two years later this year came a new album, "My Blood," which showed an even greater maturity. Here, electronic boy-pop was replaced by more organically driven music about his insights after meeting love and wanting to change his life for the better. It's ugly, charming, and I dig this into the bench. Still, on the theme of love and awakening, we hear the singer sing that he would have lost his mind if it were not for his wife. Judging by social media and the accompanying video, it looks like Christophe has really found his happily ever after together with his beautiful influencer wife, Cecilie Haugaard. VALERIE BROUSSARD | DRIVE Platinum-certified singer, songwriter and powerhouse vocalist Valerie Broussard has released her new song “Drive” off her forthcoming debut EP "Voyager" due early fall. “Drive” exudes spontaneity, as Valerie sings of breaking free from her normal routine and hitting the road with her love interest in search of “something wild.” It follows the release of “Wildflowers”—a song that speaks of a crossroads in a relationship, with Valerie assuring her partner that their love is still blooming even in bad times—and “Iris”—a captivating rendition of the Goo Goo Dolls classic. All three songs will be featured on "Voyager," which presents Valerie’s own brand of cinematic space pop uplifted by otherworldly vocals, vivid lyrics and expansive vision. Boasting over 500 million streams to date, Valerie’s dynamic vocals and emotionally charged songwriting can also be heard in massive smash collaborations such as Kygo’s “Think About You” and “The Truth,” as well as hundreds of film, television and video game placements including the 2019 League of Legends theme “Awaken” with Ray Chen and programming on NETFLIX, The CW, ABC, Prime Video, SyFy, HBO and more. MONSTA X | ONE DAY K-pop's transition into the English market continues as MONSTA X has returned with their brand-new English-language single titled "One Day." The six-member group – comprising Shownu, Minhyuk, Kihyun, Hyungwon, Joohoney and I.M have been hard at work putting out new releases over the past few months. Their Japanese record "Flavors Of Love" and Korean mini-album "One Of A Kind" dropped within weeks of each other in May and June, respectively, followed by a special single "Kiss or Death" in late July. Now, the boyband single "One Day" is adding to their growing list of 2021 releases, this time in English. “The song is in line with our own emotions, so we tried to be as genuine as possible when singing it,” Joohoney says of the upbeat yet pensive track. ‘One Day’ also marks MONSTA X’s first official release without leader Shownu, who’s currently in the military. “It felt empty at first, but we’re working harder to fill his gap,” Kihyun shares, “And we miss him so much.” "One Day" marks Monsta X's first English-language single since the release of their sixth studio album, "All About Luv." The album, recorded entirely in English, peaked at No. 5 on Billboard 200 chart upon its release in February 2020. FRANKIE J | MY LOVE IS THE WAY Frankie J and Baby Bash have teamed up again for the new single “My Love Is On The Way.” The 90’s inspired single is just one of many that the two have done together. Frankie J and Baby Bash previously did the hits “Obsession (No Es Amor)” and “Suga Suga” together. When we interviewed Frankie J a few years back about his chemistry with Baby Bash, this is what he had to say, "The stuff I do with him, it always has to come easy because we’ve always had this connection and chemistry in the studio. It’s been there since our first song, “Suga Suga.” We always have fun. We never think about anything in the studio. We go with our gut feeling, and he’ll think of some cool concepts. I’ll do the same, and when we get together, it just comes out naturally. We don’t put too much thought into it, and that’s what people love from us. We always just come up with something fresh and have fun with it. That’s how the hits are recorded." Frankie J is currently putting the final touches on his upcoming R&B album “Back To Us.” He released the lead single “With You” with Raz B. and Paul Wall a few months back. SAM HUNT | 23 Sam Hunt has returned with the new song “23,” the “Hard to Forget” singer’s first release since the 2020 album "Southside." Penned by Hunt with collaborators Shane McAnally, Josh Osborne, and Chris LaCorte, who also served as the track’s producer. “23” takes a look back at the immutable properties of a youthful relationship. People may break up and move on, but the events remain fixed in their original sequence. The stylistically fluid Hunt gestures Eighties pop and country with “23,” incorporating sounds that feel softer and gauzier than the overdriven guitars of many country hits. A banjo and steel melody also repeat throughout the song, complementing Hunt’s delicate vocal and acoustic guitar. Hunt is currently on tour, playing both headlining shows and summer festivals. On Thursday, he’s set to play Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, followed by Daily’s Place Amphitheater in Jacksonville on Friday. He’s also on the bill at South Carolina’s Greenville Country Music Fest for September 11th and the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas on September 17th.

Following a pair of singles, pop-rock band Imagine Dragons have released their fifth studio album, "Mercury – Act 1," produced by Rick Rubin. a candid album that abandons metaphorically charged lyrics and embraces emotional extremities, holding nothing back. The title draws inspiration from the word “mercurial.” Their most recent single “Wrecked” provided a glimpse into what fans can expect from "Mercury – Act 1," the band’s first new music since their 2018 album "Origins." "wrecked was proceeded by the releases of “Follow You” and “Cutthroat,” which marked the band’s return with soaring ambition intact. Reynolds discussed working on the album during the pandemic with Rubin, who, despite his reputation was “very hands-on, very actively engaged” with the recording of the album. “During Covid, I sent [Rubin] 100 songs that I’d worked on over the prior three years,” Reynolds said. “And he wrote comments on every single song in an email. This was when we talked about whether or not to work together and get to know each other. I wasn’t expecting that. I felt like he would say, ‘This is too much for me to listen to,’ or not really dig in. But he dug in on all of them and gave me straightforward comments.” On September 8, the band will celebrate with the iHeartRadio album release party streaming everywhere at 10pm et on livexlive.
