Kosovo-Albanian DJ Regard, Australian singer-songwriter Troye Sivan and Canadian singer-songwriter Tate McRae appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to perform “You”. While the three artists couldn’t physically be together to debut the song for the first time, it by no means meant that any kind of production was comprised. The tie it all in, each artist performed in front of one of the letters of the word YOU. Pretty smooth. The track officially arrived last month and marks Sivan’s first release of the year, following the release of his 2020 EP ‘In A Dream’. He also released a rework of the EP’s single "Easy," featuring Kacey Musgraves and Mark Ronson. As for McRae, the 17-year-old singer recently released her second EP titled "Too Young To Be Sad," the follow up to 2020’s "All The Things I Never Said."

The Jonas Brothers have teamed up with DJ/producer Marshmello for a new song, “Leave Before You Love Me," which comes before they hit the 2021 Billboard Music Awards stage. The new track is a slick but somber bit of pop-rock, with an Eighties-style groove cruising underneath the Jonas Brothers’ heartbroken harmonies. The Jonas Brothers will include “Leave Before You Love Me” in a special medley they’re set to perform at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards on May 23rd (Marshmello will join the group for the performance as well). The Jonas Brothers’ set will close out the show, while Nick Jonas will be hosting the event. Jonas Brothers announced a massive summer tour, which will kick off August 20th in Las Vegas and feature support from Kelsea Ballerini. The Jonas Brothers are also gearing up for the June 18th release of a new single, “Remember This,” which will be part of NBC’s promotional campaign for the Tokyo Olympics this summer.

18-year-old from California Olivia Rodrigo was busy being a normal kid who liked acting in school plays until 2019 when she landed the lead in the confusingly named "High "School Musical: The Musical: The Series." These days she has a massive hit, "Drivers License," under her belt, and today she releases her debut album titled "Sour." You might think that an album coming off the back of a single as insanely massive as “Drivers License” might feel rushed out or half-finished, a cynical attempt to cash in as much as possible before the zeitgeist moves on. But "Sour" is a surprisingly accomplished package. Shot through with every available hormone, it opens with crashing guitar riffs and dances from Paramore to Lorde and back again. There’s not much room for subtlety here: from her references (Taylor Swift, Hayley Williams, Lorde) to her lyrics, but "Sour" works, and it’s invigorating even to these withered and ancient ears.

K-pop supergroup dropped a new tune titled "Butter" alongside a brand new music video to release. The new tune from the mega-popular boy band -- including members Jin, J-Hope, RM, Suga, V, Jimin, and Jungkook -- had over 3.89 million concurrent viewers when the tune debuted Thursday night. Within an hour, it had already amassed over 21 million views. It’s not difficult to see why the “Butter” premiere drew such a massive audience. In the lead-up to the premiere, BTS described the single as “a summer song that is somewhat soft and charismatic.” The video certainly lives up to that description. The new video opens with striking black-and-white shots of the group in suits before cutting to several other dazzling locations with soft, full-colour lighting. The band members pow-wow in a gymnasium, show up to a mock press conference and bust out some nimble dance moves in an elevator that will probably be difficult to replicate in a TikTok challenge. "Butter," which is the band's second English-language track, will likely be among the songs the group performs when they take up touring again as part of GMA’s 2021 Summer Concert series.

Singer, songwriter Brandy will be the first Black Disney princess, and to celebrate her, the music legend has shared a new song titled “Starting Now,” the theme song to Disney’s 2021 Ultimate Princess Celebration. The uplifting song, produced by Warren “Oak” Felder, finds Brandy singing triumphantly over a tribal EDM beat about rising like a phoenix with a renewed vision and purpose about her destiny she rightfully deserves. Leading up to the music special "Disney Princess Remixed – An Ultimate Princess Celebration" in August, “Starting Now” will receive video treatment. Outside of her Disney fairytale, Brandy is heading to ABC for the new hip-hop drama "Queens." The once-pilot now anticipated series was announced, with an explosive trailer, that it would soon be part of the network’s lineup. Brandy stars as Naomi in "Queens."

"Body Language" is Country star Blake Sheldon's 12th studio album and features“Minimum Wage” and his number-1 hit with Gwen Stefani, “Happy Anywhere,” along with 10 additional tracks. When it came to creating an album in the current world situation of social distancing and quarantining, Blake says, “We certainly had some unique challenges with the pandemic, but we also had a lot of fun. We explored new sounds while making sure to get in some classic country. I’m also thrilled to have my buddies, The Swon Brothers, featured on the title track as co-writers and vocalists. Can’t wait for y’all to hear it!” Beyond his country music career, the multimedia entertainer has earned widespread recognition as a seven-time champion coach for the Emmy Award-winning television show The Voice. The NBC singing competition is serendipitously in its 20th season.

London-born, LA-based popster-slash-songwriter Sinead Harnett has dropped her second album, "Ready Is Always Too Late." It’s been a couple of years since Harnett’s debut "Lessons In Love," and the somewhat radio-silence has done her well to let her listeners breathe, reflect, and prepare for the reintroduction she has created with her new project. The album is a collection of empowering messages and vulnerable moments from the songwriter, and this varied selection of emotions does the album well. There's not a single moment where the mood feels out of place – it’s carefully curated and perfectly placed at all times. Nevertheless, Sinead Harnett has risen to the challenge and surpassed the bar she set for herself with her previous work. "Ready Is Always Too Late" is a defining album for Harnett and displays the incredible talent, skill, and experience that she has built over the years.

Swedish DJ duo Galantis, French DJ David Guetta and British girl group Little Mix teamed up to release a new song, “Heartbreak Anthem." This is a huge moment in Little Mix history as it’s their first official release since Jesy announced she was leaving the group in December. However, the group began working on the song with Galantis and Guetta before the coronavirus pandemic, so Jesy’s vocals were included in the arrangement. Recalling the origins of the song, Galantis producer and songwriter Christian Karlsson, told Metro.co.uk: ‘Little Mix came in pretty early on, but they’re hardworking with their vocals. The Samuel Douek-directed video opens as an orchestra warms up before showtime. The stage production is called "Winged Fatales," which features “angelic beings fallen from another world.” Little Mix — Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Perrie Edwards, and Jade Thirlwall (Jesy Nelson departed the group last December) — appear in winged costumes. Despite the song’s title, the track is about moving on amicably when a relationship doesn’t work out. The lyrics address their respective exes, and they “wish them the best.” “This ain’t a heartbreak anthem,” they declare on the chorus.

German singer-songwriter Zoe Wees releases her debut EP, "Golden Wings." The EP consists of five songs, each delicately penned from a personal, relatable place which will leave listeners with a warm, fuzzy feeling inside. Already releasing two singles included on the LP, “Control” & “Girls Like Us,” are combined, closing in on half a billion global streams collectively. Speaking about the Golden Wings EP, Zoe said, “Each of the songs is autobiographical and very special to me. In a way‚ the EP was written as personal therapy, with each track helping tackle my own mental health. I chose the title “Golden Wings” to symbolize the feeling of ‘security and strength.’ These two things are foundations from where hope can grow. I hope people can relate to my stories in their own way.” Wees, who recently celebrated her 19th birthday -- started 2021 by making her U.S. television debut on "The Late Late Show with James Corden," performing her breakout hit "Control."

Brazilian pop star Anitta is currently enjoying success with her latest single, "Girl From Rio," which is hot on streaming across the world. Anitta will have more English-language tracks on the album as well. Following a vibrant performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live a couple of days ago, Anitta is looking to make a dent in the U.S. as she releases a remix of her new single by teaming up with rapper DaBaby. The hot rapper adds his typical, raunchy vibe to the Stargate-produced cut. With the song and her upcoming album on Warner Records, she is looking to have a big breakthrough worldwide (particularly in the U.S.) after already conquering the Brazilian and related markets over the last 10 years. The English-language track samples the 1962 hit “Garota de Ipanema” (“The Girl From Ipanema”) and pays tribute to Brazilian women.

The single marks the singer-songwriter’s first material., following on from 2019’s "Bad Lieutenant" and "Trash," reflects the feelings Nash experienced throughout the coronavirus-enforced lockdown. In a statement, Nash said the song was inspired partly by life during quarantine, saying, “I definitely went through depression. I just didn’t have the energy for most of the year, and I was kind of lethargic and very lacklustre. Rather than fighting that, I leaned into it. It’s about the trauma: the trauma of everything changing.” Following the song’s release, the singer is set to take “a COVID-secure road trip” across the US for a series of “scenic” one-off shows – dubbed the ‘Safely Out Of The Bedroom Tour.’ The first gig will take place at Sequoia National Forest in California.

It will coincide with the first performance for the duo—Joseph and drummer Josh Dun—during a special live stream performance on release day. "Scaled and Icy" was created largely while the two band members Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun, were in Covid-19 lockdown in their respective homes. The two collaborated on the album virtually, with Joseph writing and producing in his home and Dun recording and engineering his drum takes from across the country. While working on the project, the band adopted “a more imaginative and bold approach to their songwriting,” which resulted in “a collection of songs that push forward through setbacks and focus on the possibilities worth remembering.” The 11 track album will include already released singles, ‘’Choker," "Shy Away," and the most recently released track titled "Saturday."
