A newly leaked track from Astoria, Queens-born singer, songwriter Melanie Martinez has made its way online. The song titled "Tunnel Vision" is rumoured to be from her upcoming third album and film, which she is currently working on, but no set release date has been announced. Although Martinez doesn’t rush releases, there have been a few years between albums thus far because she cannot compromise her artistic vision. Hopefully, this upcoming new album will get more songs similar to the style of her album "Crybaby" as her last album, "K-12," lacked. The producers behind the tracks on "K-12" were produced entirely by Michael Keenan (except for Drama Club). At the same time, "CryBaby" was a mix of producers, including Kinetics & One Love, who produced Drama Club. As a result, the overall sound is different between the two albums. Martinez rose to prominence in 2012 after appearing on the American television vocal talent show "The Voice." Following the show, she released her debut single "Dollhouse," followed by her debut EP of the same name in 2014 through Atlantic Records.

The big hit from Justin Bieber’s recent album "Justice" is “Peaches,” which went to #1 back in April and now a new remix has been released. On the original song, Bieber already had appearances from up-and-comers Daniel Caesar and Giveon, but the new “Peaches” remix features three veteran stars: Usher, Ludacris, and Snoop Dogg. All of them were fully established when Bieber was a mop-topped teenage star. “Peaches,” which debuted at No. 1 in March and helped score both Daniel Caesar and Givēon their first chart-topping hit. "Justice" also debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 album chart, moving 154,000 equivalent album units in its first week. Bieber is set to hit the road in 2022 for his Justice World Tour, which begins in mid-February in San Diego and runs through June with stops scheduled for Los Angeles, New York City, Toronto, Chicago, and many more cities across North America. “We’re working hard to make this tour the best one yet,” he said of the tour. “I’m excited to get out there and engage with my fans again."

A newly leaked track from singer, songwriter Melanie Martinez has made its way online. The song titled "Dragon's Blood" is rumoured to be from her upcoming third album and film, which she is currently working on, but no set release date has been announced. Although Martinez doesn’t rush releases, there have been a few years between albums thus far because she cannot compromise her artistic vision. The downside is that she disappears from public view for months when in these times of instant gratification. We tend to forget how unique, innovative, and fascinating a pop artist Martinez is. She’s one of the best in the game, and it’ll be interesting to see what her third album offers. Martinez rose to prominence in 2012 after appearing on the American television vocal talent show "The Voice." Following the show, she released her debut single "Dollhouse," followed by her debut EP of the same name in 2014.
