Indie-pop expert Eves Karydas today shares her latest single, "Lemonade," a breakup song “about the delicate balance between playing it cool and moving on but also allowing myself to feel let down,” as Eves describes it. Backed by guitar strums and sun-streaked beats, Eves really goes in on the ‘Lemonade’ metaphor; bitter, sour, squeeze, sugar – it’s all there in the lyrics and sweet melodies. Premiered via triple j, and written during a pre-COVID summer writing trip to London and Stockholm (the same trip that produced hits "Complicated" and "Get Me So High") with The 23rd (Sigrid, Hailee Steinfield) and Plested (Lewis Capaldi, Niall Horan, Anne Marie) the glistening new cut details the duality of feelings experienced at the end of a relationship, with Eves sounding powerful but playful, self-assured but still vulnerable.

Earlier this year, Karydas played her new music to adoring fans on a seven-stop tour in QLD. The tour marked her first run of headline shows since her debut album "summerskin."

The song boasts a hip-hop core and incorporates rock and pop-punk influences, especially on the belt-out-loud chorus.

After releasing a couple of hard-hitting singles throughout the spring and summer, and released his highly anticipated second studio album, "All Over The Place," last month. The sixteen-track project was an extremely versatile project that found the UK YouTuber skating from genre to genre, and despite its loose and varied sound, "All Over The Place" attracted guest appearances from high-profile Hip-Hop artists such as Lil Durk, Polo G, YUNGBLUD, Bugzy Malone, Future, and 21 Savage. “I can’t believe I’m actually writing this. I have a song with Lil Wayne,” KSI said in a statement. “If you told me 10 years ago that this was gonna happen, I would have laughed in your face and blocked you from my contacts. But here we are; it’s a reality. Me and Lil Wayne have come together to make a track no one will expect. From the singing chorus to the amazing verses, this is a song that will live on for decades.”

Capturing the nuances of Sara's confessionally quirky lyrics, glassy melodies, "Struck By Lightning" is accompanied by an official music video co-starring both artists. "A friend of mine struggled a lot with depression and didn't necessarily always talk to me about it," said Sara. "It can be frustrating when you know someone's going through something, but they won't say anything. So, the idea is, 'I'll sit out there with you in silence.' Around the same time, my 'For You' page had many trending videos of people lying down in driveways in the rain. I brought all of that together, and it was really cool to duet with Cavetown. I'm basically saying, 'I'd get struck by lightning for you." The 22-year-old will celebrate the EP release with her first-ever international headline tour. The Struck By Lightning Tour begins October 9th at San Francisco, CA's Brick & Mortar Music Hall and then travels North America and Europe through late November.

Canadian singer The Weeknd has begun a new era with a new single titled "Take My Breath," demonstrating how strong his vocal ability has become. The new track serves as the first single from his upcoming album, which is the follow-up to his 2020 smash, "After Hours," which spawned the single "Blinding Lights," among others. The Weeknd teased “Take My Breath” earlier this week in a commercial for the Olympics featuring Team USA’s women’s track and field team. He also shared an instrumental teaser, which paired the song with its thumping drums and tangled synths with footage of vast landscapes. In the accompanying music video, which comes with an epilepsy warning, the singer walks outside in a dawn setting and down a hallway before he emerges in a club with pulsating strobe lights and dancing. He hooks up with a love interest as they dance and share breaths from an oxygen tank. Later his breath is literally taken away as his paramour’s braids strangle him. Last month, the singer appeared on Belly’s “Better Believe,” featuring Young Thug. He also recently announced plans to develop a new HBO series alongside "Euphoria" creator Sam Levinson. The Weeknd will star in, co-write, and executive-produce the show.

Barbra Streisand, the legend of stage and screen, has also raided her vault for some unreleased rarities. Her new album titled "Release Me 2" is her second collection of songs that did not get their moment in the sun for one reason or another, recorded between 1962 and 2020. The 40-year span was a time of much change – though you’d never know it from this album, which sticks to a fantastically romantic swoon pretty much from beginning to end. The arrangements are gorgeous, from the fluttering flute of “Be Aware” lulling you into a comfortable sun spot before reminding you that you are one of the lucky ones to the gently undulating piano on “Sweet Forgiveness The guests are revered and excellent, too: Willie Nelson features on “I’d Want it to Be You.” His vocals were left unfinished when scheduling commitments caused him to be replaced on Streisand’s 2014 album "Partners," which was finally completed last year. Yet even his performance pales compared to the legendary Kermit the Frog on the delightful version of “Rainbow Connection” that brings a lighter touch to proceedings. It is fair to say that you get more from this album as an existing Streisand superfan than a casual newcomer.

Grammy-winning pop songwriter Victoria Monét has shared her second single of the year, following her sizzling track “F.U.C.K..” “The new song "Coastin” channels a more groovy vibe, delivering a ’70s-inspired funky bassline and laid-back feel. It has serious bedroom eyes, but the new song's classically-minded funk adds a looser — but still explicit — mood to the proceedings. “If sunshine and a good time (and maybe a lil drank) were a song, it would be ‘Coastin.’ It’s made for people with that good, chill energy and the bassline instantly puts you in a certain feel,” Monét shared in a press release. “We wanted this song to represent that freedom to finally go outside. After the year we’ve had, it feels even better to be able to finally coast freely, make unforgettable memories and have a good ass time,” she added. The song, produced by Stereotypes, features a sample of Keni Burke’s “Risin’ to the Top.” Described as “a love letter to California” by Monét, the track is perfect for listening to in the car, by the pool or at the beach. In October, Monét will play at the Brooklyn edition of H.E.R.’s Lights On Festival. The performance lineup includes Maxwell, Ari Lennox, Bryson Tiller, Chloe x Halle, and many more.

UK Duran Duran is releasing their new album "Future Past" and will be the first in October six years. Today, they’re sharing a new song titled "More Joy," featuring Japanese DIY-pop band CHAI. The album which they have worked on it with producers Erol Alkan and Giorgi Moroder, and they enlisted other collaborators like Tove Lo, Ivorian Doll, Mark Ronson, David Bowie’s former pianist Mike Garson, and Blur’s Graham Coxon, who co-wrote and played guitar on several songs including the lead single “Invisible." “The song ‘MORE JOY!’ was born out of a crazy jam with Duran Duran, Graham Coxon and Erol Alkan,” keyboardist Nick Rhodes says. “It was such an unusual piece we weren’t quite sure if it would fit in at first. It reminded me of one of those retro Japanese video games, which I always found quite uplifting. We came up with the chant ‘more joy’ early on, which became the key to the rest of the track. We all agreed that it would sound really great with Japanese female voices on it, and that’s when Simon had the inspired idea to ask CHAI if they would possibly collaborate with us. To our joy, they agreed, and the result most certainly brought incredible new energy to the song. They are so special!”
