Lady Gaga has released her "Chromatica" remix album entitled "Dawn Of Chromatica." The new version of the album sees many stars take on tracks from the pop star’s 2020 record. The executive produced by BloodPop® features remixes from Arca, Charli XCX and A. G. Cook, Shygirl and Mura Musa, Pabllo Vittar, Rina Sawayama Bree Runway and Jimmy Edgar, LSDXOXO, Dorian Electra, and many others. Lady Gaga and BloodPop® executive produced the original "Chromatica," which got nominated for the 2021 Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album. XCX appears alongside PC Music honcho A. G. Cook on the “911” remix. Ballroom and Baltimore Club-influenced producer LSDXOXO handles the “Alice” remix. Shygirl, currently a Burberry favourite, will jump on “Sour Candy” alongside existing guests Blackpink. Brazilian drag sensation Pabllo Vittar tackles “Fun Tonight,” while Dorian Electra remixes “Replay.” Lastly, Arca will remix the album’s biggest single, “Rain on Me,” that features Ariana Grande, while Planningtorock will remix “1000 Doves.” It’s certainly a full creative 180 from her other current music project, the Tony Bennet duet album "Love For Sale," still due in early October. "Dawn of Chromatica" is just one of Gaga’s many projects this year—and why not do something full-out left field before the release of that jazz album and the promotion and possible Oscar campaign for "House of Gucci."

LANY has released their highly-anticipated fourth album, "gg bb xx," via Polydor Records. The record was produced by Maroon 5 and Katy Perry collaborator Andrew Goldstein. LANY, whose name is an acronym for Los Angeles and New York, wanted a four-letter moniker for aesthetic purposes when it formed in 2014—just not one that unveiled the Nashville natives’ true origins. The coast-obsessed trio (Paul Klein, Les Priest and Jake Clifford Goss) hasn’t had a long career but quickly rose to stardom, touring with the likes of Halsey and Ellie Goulding before releasing a debut album in 2017, "Malibu Nights" in 2018 and 2020’s "Mama’s Boy." LANY’s Coachella-ready pop tunes have always been built around the same themes: dating in L.A., breakups and makeups, missing exes and newfound love. LANY really shines on its choruses, and its distinct formula of catchy and cutesy has been crafted down to a science. Even slower songs like “Live It Down” contain a memorable riff or two, and each song has its own adorable hook. “Nevermind, Let’s Break Up,” off one of the band’s 2021 EPs, has an entertaining chorus, as does “‘Til I Don’t.” All in all, if you’re looking for versatile acoustic musicianship on "gg bb xx," you’re looking in the wrong place. LANY’s newest album, much like its other work, is shiny, glitzy, wonderfully amusing and sometimes slightly heartfelt.

The full song surfaced online from English singer and songwriter Dua Lipa entitled “Run Together,” a 2019 unreleased track originally intended for Dua Lipa’s sophomore studio album, "Future Nostalgia," but was ultimately scrapped. The song is from the same production sessions as fellow unreleased songs. Future Nostalgia is the second studio album by Dua Lipa, released on 27 March 2020 by Warner Records. Lipa enlisted writers and producers such as Jeff Bhasker, Ian Kirkpatrick, Stuart Price, the Monsters & Strangerz, and Koz to create a "nostalgic" pop and disco record with influences from dance-pop electronic music, inspired by the music that Lipa enjoyed during her childhood. In related news. Her song “Levitating” has become one of Dua Lipa’s biggest hits, and that has been thanks in large part to the remix of the song that features DaBaby. Since he has been embroiled in controversy, the remix has started to lose its hold as the predominant version of the song. In July, the remix started to get phased out of radio and prominent playlists. Earlier this month, the solo version of “Levitating” replaced the remix on some Billboard charts. Now, solo “Levitating” has replaced the remix on the chart: On this week’s Billboard Hot 100 dated September 4, “Levitating” sits at No. 6, and unlike last week, DaBaby is not credited on the song.

Ahead of his 70th birthday, Sting has unveiled his 15th solo studio album, “The Bridge,” and its first single, “If It’s Love.” The 10-track album was recorded during the pandemic and will drop on November 19 via A&M/Interscope/Cherrytree Records. Former Police frontman said of the lead track, which is reminiscent of a poppier version of his ‘90s hit “All This Time,” “I’m certainly not the first songwriter to equate falling in or out of love with an incurable sickness, nor will I be the last. ’If It’s Love’ is my addition to that canon, where the tropes of metaphorical symptoms, diagnosis, and downright incapacity are all familiar enough to make each of us smile ruefully.” According to the press release, his new album "The Bridge" was written during the pandemic and found Sting “ruminating on personal loss, separation, disruption, lockdown, and extraordinary social and political turmoil,” according to the press release. The songs on "The Bridge" were produced by Sting and Martin Kierszenbaum, except “Loving You” produced by Sting, Maya Jane Coles and Martin Kierszenbaum. The album was mixed by Robert Orton, engineered by Donal Hodgson and Tony Lake, and mastered by Gene Grimaldi at Oasis Mastering. Sting will return to live performance on Sept. 27 in Sicily. On Oct. 29, he will begin his Las Vegas residency, My Songs at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

London-raised singer-songwriter Devan from Toronto, Canada, released her third single, "Feel Better," from her upcoming second EP, “Liquid Sunshine.” "Feel Better" is about someone close to you going through a tough time. With mental health struggles like anxiety and depression, sometimes there’s nothing you can do to help the situation, even though you so badly wish you could. This song came out of that feeling of helplessness and is Devan’s way of saying I’m here for you, even if I can’t fix this. "Feel Better" contains a relatable narrative and ear-pleasing vocals. The melancholic tune possesses lush instrumentation flavoured with contemporary and indie-pop elements. Furthermore, “Feel Better” serves as a tasty entrée to what listeners can expect to hear on Devan’s forthcoming EP, “Liquid Sunshine,” set to be released on October 15, 2021. For inspiration, Devan looks to modern stars like Billie Eilish, Frank Ocean, Dominic Fike, and influential performers such as Fleetwood Mac, Coldplay, and John Mayer. Despite their different musical styles, she considers all of them to be “songwriters at their core, who can dress up their songs in lots of different ways and still have them feel authentic.”

20-year-old Rising artist MASN, releases his new track, "Self Sabotage," via RCA Records. The new song follows MASN’s previously released tracks, "Don’t Talk," "A Perfect Summer Song” and "Sitting In Fire" which are all featured on his upcoming EP which will be released later this year. MASN says, “'A little bit won't hurt you' is what everyone says before engaging in something fucking stupid. Self Sabotage is about participating in short-term gratification that you know will eventually cause long-term harm. My goal with this song was to deliver on the hurt that engaging in these behaviours will cause. The production is lying to you by being up beat and happy because it masks the fact that self sabotage is a deceiving pathending in pain.” Last year MASN released his debut EP, "How To Kill A Rockstar," and "Mountains," a collaboration with label mates Lost Kings. MASN’s debut EP received critical praise. Utah native MASN exploded onto the scene in 2019 when his hit single, "Psycho!," dropped. The track exploded online and had garnered over 100M combined audio and video streams worldwide and over 1.5M TikTok videos. Shortly after, he released his track, "Val!um," followed by "Psycho!," feat. Trippie Redd marked MASN’s first release with RCA Records.

To celebrate 25 years since releasing their debut album, Spice Girls will be releasing a deluxe edition featuring bonus tracks, b-sides and previously unheard recordings.

"Spice" was originally released in 1996 and went on to become the third biggest selling record of the decade, featuring tracks like ‘Wannabe,’ ‘2 Become 1’ and "Say You’ll Be There."

British singer, songwriter Fred Again.. has released a new single, "Billie (Loving Arms)." Serves as the first track to be lifted from Fred's second album, "Actual Life," due later this year and sees the London-based artist and producer building the track around a sample of Billie Ray Martin's great cult 1994 dancefloor classic "Your Loving Arms Although the source material comes from a different era to Fred's previous music, this is an evolution rather than a reinvention. In his trademark "Actual Life' style, Fred only heard the original for the first time this year on a night out with friends, his phone footage of the dancefloor epiphany providing the source material for what would become "Billie (Loving Arms)." "For me, this song is about allowing people to help you when you need it most. Like last year I felt like that was made almost impossible for us to do in some ways," Fred Again.. stated. "I mean, just the physical touch of someone throwing themselves around you can really cure us of a whole lot, I think." Meanwhile, after firmly established himself as one of 2021's most exciting new recording artists with the release of his acclaimed debut album Actual Life (April 14 - December 17, 2020), Fred again.. will perform his first-ever headline live shows later this year.

In 1997, Brandy made history when she starred as a princess in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella. Nearly 25 years later, Disney called her to create a new song, “Starting Now,” an ode to the Princesses.

Three months after the song's arrival, In the video, the first Black Disney Cinderella walks gracefully in an enchanting garden to belt out the uplifting song produced by Warren “Oak” Felder. When Brandy isn’t blinding us with her captivating beauty, the visual follows a couple of youth, attaching their individual stories to Disney princesses, including Merida, Moana, and of course, Cinderella.

Australian band Tora has released their new song "Put Your Phone Down" alongside a music video that looks at how tech addiction is impacting us all on an exponentially destructive trajectory. The band says of the track which the music video directed by Christian Baur: “The meaning is quite obvious as it’s the song title, but this song focuses on the issue of tech addiction and how it is impacting us all on an exponentially destructive trajectory. Over time it’s becoming more acceptable to prioritize the people on your phone above those around you in real life; this realization hit me hard when I noticed that my ex and I would more often sit on the couch scrolling instead of being present with each other. I wanted to use this creative expression as a reality snap and a reminder never to forget what’s most important for our wellbeing, here and now. I started writing the song as a joke that I would sing to people when they ignored me for their phones; eventually, it turned into something serious and made its way into the studio during our recording sessions; before long, the whole band had contributed to the track. We decided it felt right for the Tora album.” “Put Down Your Phone” follows previously released singles “Inundated,” “Call On Me,” “Why Won’t You Wait,” and “When Will I Learn,” which will be featured on Tora’s upcoming third album, "A Force Majeure" that is set to be released on September 3rd.

English alternative duo HONNE has shared their latest single titled "Coming Home" with Indonesian singer-songwriter NIKI. Written in 2020, the song centralizes on a singer on tour lamenting about being away from loved ones and looking forward to coming home – a theme that has found new meaning in the pandemic, as lockdowns keep families apart. London-based director Jay Green directed the music video for “Coming Home.” Making sure that the video captures the track’s message, it features stages, taxis, hotel rooms, and red carpets – venues frequented by artists on tour.

The "Mambo No.5" singer Lou Bega shaped the musical landscape of the late nineties and set it in motion like no other and is back this year to build on the carelessness joy of those days: Lou Bega releases his new album “90s Cruiser,” which is an extremely exuberant journey through time to the nineties. After he had already presented the single “Buena Macarena” in the spring and set heat records in the middle of summer with his “Bongo Bong” update, the Munich native is now setting off the entire 90s hit fireworks display. After Bega and his established producer Roland Spremberg (including a-ha, Ville Valo, Natalia Avelon) recorded the song “Scatman & Hatman” together, which immediately gave them top positions in the iTunes charts and streams in the millions, they are Both of them recently immersed themselves very, very deeply in the hit history of the 1990s: For the upcoming studio album “90s Cruiser” they have selected several classics. "90s Cruiser" exudes the same exuberant energy as it did back then - only these melodies sound much more powerful now because they are 100% contemporary. No wonder, after all, the man from Munich always knew how to make something danceable even more danceable.

Along with the release of her 4th album, "If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power," Pop singer/songwriter Halsey premiered the music video for the first single, “I am not a woman, I'm a god." The music video for the song features footage from Halsey’s IMAX experience documentary for the album and features a pregnant Halsey. In this song, Halsey finds herself bouncing off of extremes–from god-like to human, from legend to fraud, and being a saint and a devil. Halsey released her fourth studio album, ‘If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power’ on August 27, 2021. This is her follow-up project to her highly successful album "Manic," released in 2020. Halsey said about the new album, “This album is a concept album about the joys and horrors of pregnancy and childbirth. It happened by accident. I wasn’t trying to make a political record or a record that was drowning in its own profundity—I was writing about how I feel. The reason that the album has sort of this horror theme is that this experience, in a way, has its horrors.” The song’s back-and-forth nature may allude to the bipolar nature of Halsey.

Wrabel showcases his versatile songwriting with the release of his new single "london," a noticeably folkier effort from "one of Hollywood's finest songwriters for a decade." Co-written with Stuart Crichton, Drew Pearson, and Cole Citrenbaum, the song tells the story of an LA-based heartbreak longing for a lost London-based love. “London will always be a second home to me," says Wrabel. "I didn’t go to college, so my months there making my first (and second) imaginary records were kind of my own version of it; being by myself in a whole different world, wandering around and finding myself. My first breakup happened there over the computer. In that feeling that you’ll never love again, I met someone, fell in love again in a cold winter in London. When we broke up, I found myself wanting to go back, wanting to walk the same streets where we met—that so close but so far away feeling.” Wrabel's debut album has garnered attention for previously released singles like "good," "nothing but the love," and "back to back" (feat. Duncan Laurence). This month, Wrabel is to embark on a short, intimate run of live dates. The nothing but the piano tour includes a stop at NYC's Le Poisson Rouge and an album release show at LA's The Regent Theater -- kicking off tomorrow at the Akron Pride Music & Arts Festival.

We first got a glimpse of Liam Payne’s immense talent at The X Factor auditions in 2008. Since then, he has proven what an incredible singer and songwriter he is through the years. The former One Direction member released his newest single, “Sunshine,” as part of the official motion picture soundtrack for "Ron’s Gone Wrong." The video for the track features Payne singing along to the poppy track, first sitting at a breakfast table with a rooster as his companion, before later cutting to scenes of him lounging in a sun-drenched plot of grass and dancing in front of a corkboard full of Post-its with suggestions on how to be a friend. The video also interpolates animated scenes from "Ron’s Gone Wrong" that feature the main character Barney interacting with Ron's malfunctioning companion device. "Ron’s Gone Wrong" is a heartfelt film about friendship that follows the story of a socially awkward schoolboy named Barney and Ron, walking and talking digital device designed to be its owner’s best friend with the occasional comedic malfunction. Payne has been working on new music since his 2019 debut album "LP1" and his 2020 Christmas single “Naughty List” with TikTok star Dixie D’Amelio. The single and video are both promising indicators of what the singer may have up his sleeve for the future.

LA-based pop artist Harper Starling has released her new single entitled "No More What If." Over a sleek and danceable beat, Harper shares the story of how she left her home in Wisconsin for a chance at making it big in California. Her warm, vibrant vocals breathe life into every lyric, especially in the empowering choruses. She confidently sings, “No more what if / I’m taking chances / I’m here now,” confirming that her efforts were not wasted – she is where she belongs. The music video for the track beautifully captures Harper’s journey as we watch her start her life on the West Coast. She packs her bags and drives across the country, determined to find success. She soon learns that success does not come easy, though, as she is left handing out her resume on the sidewalk to employers who seem completely uninterested. Harper Starling said of the song, “Every writing experience is unique and different and with this particular song, ‘No More What If,’ I was lucky that my co-writing partner, Cindy Valentine is nocturnal and came up with a melody and rough instrumental at 3 AM. The next day we talked about our similar journeys of pursuing our dreams in LA, and we combined our stories to create the lyrics for ‘No More What If.’ Niko The Kid then came on board to add his magic to the track.”
