Dua Lipa has released a new single titled “Can They Hear Us,” which appears on the soundtrack to the new drama "Gully." It’s the debut feature film from director Nabil Elderkin, who previously worked with Dua Lipa on the video for “Don’t Start Now.” The soundtrack also features songs by 21 Savage, ScHoolboy Q, Ty Dolla $ign, Miguel, Gary Clark Jr., Buddy, and more. Travis Scott, who isn’t on the soundtrack, appears in the movie. Gully is the feature film directorial debut of music video legend Nabil, which means that it makes sense it would have a star-studded soundtrack. The film opens in theatres this weekend and hits video-on-demand next week. Meanwhile, fans can expect Dua's third album to be something completely different and at scale. The 'Hallucinate' hitmaker released her chart-topping LP 'Future Nostalgia' in March 2020 and, the prolific star - who continued the era with the release of the remix LP 'Club Future Nostalgia' - is already steaming ahead with concepts for its follow-up.

The past few weeks have been so good to Olivia Rodrigo fans — Gen Z and geriatric millennials alike. Between the season 2 premiere of "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series" and the release of her debut album "Sour," today we get a new song from the series titled "Granted." It all comes to a head in this week's episode, "The Storm," when she gets stuck in Salt Lake City during a blizzard while on her way back to school in Denver and performs "Granted," as she wonders if she's making the right choice in leaving once again. If you loved season 1's "All I Want," get ready for a new favourite Rodrigo jam to occupy your brain. In recent news, Rodrigo’s debut album, “Sour,” released on May 21, debuted at the top of the chart. The set bows with 295,000 equivalent album units moved in its opening week -- not just the best first-week tally for an artist's debut album since the Billboard 200 switched from measuring direct sales to album units in 2014, but the best Week One number for any album by any artist in 2021 thus far.

Singer-songwriter John Mayer has announced that his eighth studio album "Sob Rock," his first since 2017’s "The Search For Everything," which is preceded by his new single called “Last Train Home.” The album came about due to the covid-19 lockdown, Mayer says, he may not have made a record at all. “At the very least, not this one.” This past pandemic year has been, on a grand scale, a “frightening, unbelievably tragic thing,” he says. Where it led him musically was to a place of reassurance. “Sob Rock” is a record “made to bring comfort.” “Last Train Home,” like many songs on “Sob Rock,” juxtaposes lush chording and breezy cadences with the serious subject matter, in this case, a relationship in distress. “The songwriting on the record is decidedly modern—there’s no throwback sensibility,” says Don Was, a producer who has worked with Bonnie Raitt, the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan, and who has helmed two Mayer albums in addition to “Sob Rock.” “As a musician and a songwriter, he’s as good as anybody at finding something that’s going on in his emotional inner life and expressing it eloquently.” Mayer's new album "Sob Rock" will be released on July 16th, 2021.

A new song is out from the late rock legend’s never-released album "Welcome 2 America," which Prince recorded in 2010. “Born 2 Die” is five minutes of pure groove — inspired, as is the rest of the album, by early Obama-era politics and the ongoing struggles of Black Americans. The jazzy, slow-burn track "Born 2 Die" has the familiar slow-rolling bass and world-weariness of a classic Mayfield composition and, according to a description on the track's YouTube page, it was born of a kind of righteous challenge presented to the star during the sessions for his upcoming posthumous collection "Welcome 2 America" that will hear for the first time on July 30. "Welcome 2 America" will feature 12 songs, 11 originals and a cover of Soul Asylum's "Stand Up and B Strong," none of which have been officially released.

Montreal's Chiiild is gearing up to release his debut album "Hope for Sale," coming out this summer. Chiiild has just shared a new track titled "Eventually." The song mixes summery pop with alien R&B. The minimal versus strut along with a funky bassline and heavily processed vocals before the whole thing goes widescreen in the chorus, with soaring pop melodies, gorgeous falsetto and a generous amount of reverb. The lyrics allude to romantic strife, but the arrangement is pure joy. The genre-fluid artist's forthcoming album is set to be one of the most sonically diverse projects of the year, as stylistically disparate tunes such as "Sleepwalking," the Mahalia-assisted "Awake," and "Gone" have all showcased Chiiild's dynamic versatility. In addition, Chiiild is set to make an upcoming TV debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on June 8, in promotion of his new album which is set to be released on July 23.

In the final year of the Trump presidency, recording it in the US has woven threads of anxiety and portent through it. The band previously announced they had lined up a tour of New Zealand, which has been allowing concerts to happen since last June due to proactive Covid-19 containment measures.

Lyrically exploring the feeling of being completely infatuated with someone to the point of feeling inexplicably in love (or at least in lust), “Queen Bee” is an anthem made for anyone who falls hard and fast. Lauren Sanderson said about the new EP she plans to release as an independent artist. “I see myself as a channel,” she said. “When people feel my energy or hear my lyrics, I want them to feel empowered and use that inspiration to create the life they want to live. To see someone who came from self-belief and know they can do the same for themselves. That’s all I really want.” The new EP is expected to be released later this year.

Scottish electro-pop trio CHVRCHES have announced a new album, "Screen Violence," and shared a new song from it, “How Not to Drown,” which features Robert Smith of The Cure. The album includes “He Said She Said,” a new song CHVRCHES shared in April and the video for the song that featured a metaphorical revolving door. A press release describes the album as such: “Narrating the theme of screen violence in three main forms—on-screen, by screens and through screens—the album touches on feelings of loneliness, disillusionment, fear, heartbreak and regret.” Here’s what frontwoman Lauren Mayberry says about the album, "I think for me it was helpful to go into the process with the idea that I could write something escapist almost. That felt freeing initially, to have concepts and stories to weave your own feelings and experiences through, but in the end, all the lyrics were definitely still personal." The band has also announced some tour dates. "Screen Violence" is due out August 27 via Glassnote. Tickets for their tour go on sale on June 11 at 10 a.m. local time.
