    In celebration of Juneteenth comes the release of the "Liberated / Music For The Movement Vol. 3" EP, the third volume of a four-part series and it features artists Chloe, Lucky Daye, Cordae & Common and more. "Liberated" celebrates themes of Black beauty, self-love, Afrofuturism, and Black empowerment in song. Sonically the EP is an infusion of jazz, funk, neo-soul, hip-hop and R&B, and spoken word, fresh, vibrant, experimental and genre-bending. "Liberated" explores embracing Black authenticity uninhibitedly. It's centred on Black America becoming the author of its own story and adopting an unapologetic Black pride. Volume III shifts its focus away from the long-suffered trauma to revel in the strengths that make the Black community unique, original and extraordinarily resilient. The project celebrates Black art, style, beauty, creativity and success as a culture and a people. As with the first two volumes, all the music and illustrations are created by Black artists. The cover illustrations for "Liberated" were created solely by South African illustrator Karabo. Karabo is renowned for "preserving the African aesthetic" and was named Forbes Magazine's "Africa 30 Under 30" in 2019.

After the DJ with Moroccan origins collaborated with Luis Fonsi and Sean Paul for the song "Pues," he tries a new direction through "Downtown Kelvin Jones said that the two artists imagined a walk through New York, and the minimalist basis of the song is exactly the opposite of what happens in this era. However, the song is very catchy and has a vibe for a late summer night.

She wrote the song with Johan Lindbrandt and Robin Stjernberg, and Nowell Emanuel directed the accompanying music video. Clara Mae shared on social media, “'Not Sad Anymore' is out in the world!

It's written together with 2 of my favourites Johan Lindbrandt and Robin Stjernberg.” She an artist to watch for as her debut original single, "I'm Not Her," was released in November 2017 via Big Beat/Atlantic Records.

  • NEW MUSIC: JONAS BROTHERS | REMEMBER THIS + TOUR ANNOUNCEMENT

    Jonas Brothers, consisting of the trio, Kevin Jonas, Nick Jonas, and Joe Jonas, released a brand new song titled "Remember This." Dedicated to the band's fans, this peppy number is named after their upcoming sold-out tour. In addition, the track was first unveiled as part of the 2021 USA Olympics Team Trials coverage on NBC. In "Remember This," the trio has again proved why they have an enormous fan base. With outstanding music, magical voices, and wonderful lyrics, this song uplifts your mood. With its anthemic chorus — “Used to pray for a moment just like this / There’s a fire in your eyes I can’t resist / Baby we’re gonna wanna remember this — “Remember This” will feature during NBC’s coverage of this summer’s Tokyo Olympics, which begin July 23rd. “Remember This” shares its name with the Jonas Brothers’ upcoming tour, a 44-date Remember This trek that kicks off August 20th in Las Vegas.

  • NEW MUSIC: JOY CROOKES | FEET DON'T FAIL ME NOW

    Bangladeshi-Irish singer-songwriter Joy Crookes has dropped a video for her new track titled “Feet Don’t Fail Me Now.” The new song from Joy gives off a powerful feeling, and it’ll definitely have you hitting repeat multiple times. It will also be featured on her long-awaited debut album "JC1" alongside “Power” and “Anyone But Me.” The release for the album was pushed back from last year, but Joy confirmed on social media it will be arriving this year. “This song is one of the most complicated songs I’ve ever written (in a good way),” she says. “The track carries with it a deep sense of irony; it’s written from the perspective of someone who finds it easier to remain complicit out of a fear of being cancelled. During the social and political turmoil of the last 12 months, performative behaviour has become prevalent alongside cancel culture. These two reactions, I think, are often intertwined as cancel culture can be a response to half-hearted performative. She added: “Ultimately, I hope the song encourages people to be a bit braver – it’s important to open up a dialogue, speak out, make mistakes – that’s okay, and that’s how progress happens.”

  • NEW MUSIC: FOY VANCE | TIME STAND STILL

    Foy Vance has announced details of his forthcoming fourth studio album Signs Of Life and released a new single, “Time Stand Still.” Vance’s second studio album on Ed Sheeran’s Gingerbread Man Records and the follow-up to 2016’s "The Wild Swan." The new album, "Signs Of Life," will be released on September 10th. Vance has announced "An Evening With Foy Vance," an intimate UK & US tour to celebrate the album’s release. “Time Stand Still” is the third track taken from Signs Of Life following “Sapling” and title track “Signs Of Life,” which have racked up almost half a million Spotify plays in the last two weeks. The New York Times wrote that “Sapling” “harks back to Van Morrison’s better days, grainy and impassioned,” Clash magazine called it “an instant fan favourite… a song about renewal and survival,” while Americana UK described the song as “simply beautiful…all about (Vance’s) wonderfully characterful voice and the gorgeous melody it enfolds.” "Signs Of Life" is the sound of a beloved singer-songwriter at the peak of his powers. It’s also the sound of a man – a husband, a father, a sinner, a drinker – belatedly coming to terms with his demons.

  • BEST SONGS TO CELEBRATE PRIDE MONTH

    HEATHER SMALL | PROUD (SAINT MIX) Former lead singer of M People, Heather Small's song "Proud," is about looking at what you’ve done that makes you feel proud and encourages the listener to find freedom by doing something extraordinary. The intro to this song almost implies that you're about to go on a journey and its soaring gospel-infused chorus. Fans of the US Queer as Folk, filmed in Toronto, will know this song well. This song, especially the dance remixes, has become a pride anthem. I have added the original and a remix version to download. LADY GAGA | BORN THIS WAY This song is probably one of the biggest LGBTQ+ anthems of the past decade—and for a good reason. Not only has Gaga become a gay icon herself, but this song is all about celebrating who you are because it’s who you were born to be. At one point in the song, she sings, "Don't be a drag, just be a queen," an obvious salute to her many gay fans. It is a Pride anthem about realizing you are beautiful in your own way and that God makes no mistakes. Before its release, Gaga was already a gay icon, but this song cemented her legacy as a true ally. TODRICK HALL | RAININ' FELLAS Todrick Hall is a super talented singer, choreographer and LGBTQ+ legend, so it's no wonder his latest song made this list. The song itself is called "Rainin' Fellas," which is very much a 2000s take on The Weather Girls "It's Raining Men," a song that is now considered a gay anthem with the gayest of videos. The dancefloor-ready collection is a defiant statement of self-empowerment and self-described as an “open love letter to the LGBTQ community,” released in tandem and honour of Pride. CHRISTINA AGUILERA | BEAUTIFUL This haunting ballad, gorgeously sung by Christina Aguilera, a perfect LGBTQ anthem. Jonas Akerlund's video, featuring two men kissing and a transgender woman putting on make-up and a wig, was awarded a GLAAD Media Award for its positive portrayal of gays and transgender individuals. Nine years after the song's release, Stonewall, a UK LGBT rights organization, chose "Beautiful" as the most empowering song of the 2000s for the gay community. RUPAUL | SISSY THAT WALK In 2009 the drag world had become, some might say, passe. Gay venues across the UK, which had been drag’s home, were in decline and closing down at a phenomenal rate. In London, over 100 gay bars had closed since the year 2000. Then a somewhat forgotten drag queen star of the late 80s and early 90s launched a show that would change drag and its place in mainstream society. From that, RuPaul rose like a glittery phoenix and began releasing music. ‘Sissy That Walk’ came from her most successful album to date, "Born Naked." The lyrics empower some of the most marginalized in our community. MELISSA ETHRIDGE | COME TO MY WINDOW There was a renaissance of lesbian singles in the 1990s, and these three songs led the way. "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover" is an impeccably produced ode to another woman. Hawkins described her sexual orientation as "omnisexual," which had created perhaps the first Top-40 hit that dealt openly with sapphic love. k.d.lang came out the same year her "Constant Craving" became ubiquitous on the radio. She and the openly gay Melissa Etheridge, whose iconic song "Come to My Window" would capture the charts a year later performed at the first-ever inaugural ball that honoured gays and lesbians in 1993, dubbed "The Triangle Ball." SARA BAREILLES | BRAVE A power-pop civil rights anthem, "Brave," was inspired by a friend of Bareilles who was struggling with coming out: "Don't run, stop holding your tongue/Maybe there's a way out of the cage where you live/Maybe one of these days you can let the light in/Show me how big your brave is...". Bareilles said, "There are so much honour and integrity and beauty in being able to be who you are." And her fans roared with approval. MARIAH CAREY | CAN'T TAKE THAT AWAY (MARIAH'S THEME) Despite not being a hit, Mariah’s theme is a strong reminder that she is, by far, one of the best female singer-songwriters of the 21st century. She teamed up with Diane Warren to write this most intimate of songs. The song’s lyrics speak about inner strength and not permitting anyone to tear you down and got me through some tough time personally, so it means that much more to me. Plus, the vocal run at the end is incomparable. The song is lifted from her 1999 album "Rainbow."

  • NEW MUSIC: MAJID JORDAN | BEEN THROUGH THAT

    The OVO Sound R&B duo Majid Jordan returns with their second single of the year, “Been Through That,” a groovy number that sees Majid Jordan acknowledging the nuisances of love over a dancefloor-ready beat. “Days when you think it’s love, feel like it might be an act, I’ve been through that,” they sing. “Times when you drink too much / You still call when it’s late, I’vе been through that.” The track is a follow-up to “Waves Of Blue,” which Majid Jordan released back in April as their first single since their 2019’s “Caught Up,” their collaboration with Khalid. In a post on Twitter, the duo shared some insight on “Waves Of Blue” shortly after its release. “’ Waves of Blue’ was made at the very beginning of this album, and it only makes sense that we begin our next chapter with this song,” they wrote. “This song is like staring at the sea – you’re not in the water, but you’re getting carried away by its currents.” The R&B duo is said to be working on an album that's slated for release sometime this year, but for now, they're keeping details regarding that project close to the chest.

This comes as the follow-up to her first EP entitled "Cut Season," released in 2020. THE VERONICAS | GOODBYE Following the release of their "Godzilla" record last month, The Veronicas have returned with a new taste of its fast-approaching follow-up, "Human." The new song titled "Goodbye" is a notably open-hearted cut from the Origliasso sisters, touching on themes of self-destruction and holding back from pursuing a lover in fear that the song’s protagonist will destroy their relationship. As their long-delayed fifth studio album, ‘Human’ is scheduled for release on June 25 via Sony. ‘Goodbye’ is the fifth single to be released from it, following ‘On Your Side,’ ‘Think Of Me,’ ‘The Life Of The Party’ (featuring Allday) and "Biting My Tongue."

The first video is out now, and a second portion of the video is set to release on June 24. The video showcases an intertwining narrative of three people working through a souring relationship, set in a surrealist version of Gold Diggers, the real-life hotel/recording studio that inspired. The new album is a follow-up to 2018’s "Good Things." It includes the single “Sweeter” with Terrace Martin, which Bridges released last year following the murder of George Floyd, as well as the recent single “Motorbike.” CHLOE | FEELING GOOD Chlöe (of Chloe x Halle) has dipped her toe in the solo pool in the spirit of Juneteenth.

  • NEW ALBUM: H.E.R | BACK OF MY MIND

    Becky Hill has been lighting up dancefloors for a while now, notching up 11 Top 40 singles since 2013, but you'd be forgiven for shedding a tear while throwing shapes to her new collaboration with David Guetta; titled, "Remember." The new track is a dancing-through-tears house pop anthem about shaking off those far from ideal moments when an old flame briefly reignites itself in mind. "Remember" feels like it completes a trifecta of triumphant, moving-on-and-moving-up club bangers from Becky, following last year's Better Off Without You and her most recent single "Last Time." Even better, it feels like a moment that solidifies her sound, perfectly timed for her hopefully upcoming new album.

  • NEW ALBUM: GRIFF | ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THE OTHER

    2021 BRITs Rising Star winner Griff has unveiled her highly-anticipated debut mixtape "One Foot In Front Of The Other." The Warner-signed artist's new mixtape follows her 2019 EP "The Mirror Talk." Griff, real name Sarah Faith Griffiths, says the tape "is a collection of songs I’ve written during the lockdown. It’s been weird making music in this time, not really experiencing real life, but I think what’s come out of feeling so uncertain about the future is knowing that all you can do is take another step. I’ve also produced the majority of this mixtape – I heard a stat that 2% of music producers are women. So it feels important that as a young female in the music industry, I should empower myself and continue to do it properly. It was challenging, but I hope in doing so, One Foot In Front Of The Other feels like a raw, emotional and unpolished body of work." ‘One Foot In Front Of The Other’ is candid and unerring in representing the person behind it all - this is truly Griff distilled into a collection of tracks, and its imperfections only add to that from-my-bedroom-to-yours sensibility. A joy to listen to, full of crisp production, clear and emotive vocals, and genuine superstar presence.
