MAXILILLIAN | LOVE LIKE THIS The 20-year old Copenhagen-based upstart has been consistent with his soulful and understated brand of R&B-inspired pop. That has not changed with the release of his new song titled "Love Like This." Since releasing his breakout single "Beautiful Scars" in 2019, MAXIMILLIAN has racked up more than 24 million plays for the single on Spotify alone and was a huge success in the Philippines, reaching triple-platinum status with over 45 million streams 3. KYD THE BAND | SOMEBODY'S SONG Ahead of his upcoming EP release, Kyd the Band (aka Devin Guisande) shares his new single, “Somebody’s Song.” The track is dedicated to those who have hurt you in the past, a cathartic expression of the feelings of betrayal and loss. Instead of moving on and pretending everything is fine, After three EPs telling stories of adversity, loss, and triumph, Kyd The Band is releasing the last project of his series, "Season 4: Finale." Since beginning his musical journey, Guisande has steadily been growing a fan base earning over 25.2M streams and over four million video views. 4. JAKE BUGGS | LOST Jake Bugg has shared a new song and visuals for his latest single titled"Lost." The song is taken from the Nottingham musician’s forthcoming new album "Saturday Night, Sunday Morning," set for release on August 20 via RCA Records. “The song is inspired by everyone who felt lost and parted from loved ones during the pandemic,” Bugg explained about the intention behind ‘Lost.’ “The sun’s coming out, summer is on the way, and this is the tune for it.” Bugg will hit the road in the UK and Ireland in spring 2022 to support "Saturday Night, Sunday Morning." 5. ALEX PORAT | DIMENSION Chinese-Canadian singer/songwriter and Youtube cover artist Alex Porat has released a new single titled "Dimension" and describes her new single as an "acceptance speech" that recognizes aren't meant to be. This is Porat's second release of 2021, following February's "Girlfriend" and last year's "Bad At Breakups" EP, where the Toronto singer's focus has previously been on building strong concepts, she's now leaning into more a pop-oriented sound as a result of isolation forcing her to be introspective.

Released in 1989 as the second single from Madonna's fourth studio album, ‘Like a Prayer’ and, ahead of its anniversary on Sunday, May 9, The Queen of Pop has shared the original five-track maxi-single. The release kicks off with the 7″ Remix of "Express Yourself" and contains a Remix/Edit of the tune. Three further remixes appear; the Non-Stop Express Mix, Local Mix and 11 minutes Stop & Go Dubs. "Express Yourself" was a UK and US Top 5 hit for Madonna – the second of three from the hit album, alongside Like a Prayer and Cherish. She most recently dropped her 2001 single "What It Feels Like For a Girl" from the 2000 album "Music," along with many original remixes. Additionally, Madonna has been working on a biopic based on her life and career; however, the project recently appeared to grind to a halt when collaborator Diablo Cody reportedly quit after encountering difficulties working with the star.

Justin Bieber has scored his seventh No. 1 hit with "Peaches" -- and he's not alone at the top. It's also the first Hot 100 chart-topper for featured vocalists Daniel Caesar and Giveon, who both get solo verses on the smash hit from Bieber's Billboard 200 No. 1 album "Justice." Now we get the demo version of the track that sounds a little different from the original, as the difference lies in the vocals and the arrangement that's slightly changed on the studio version. Bieber stated that the album’s goal is to provide “healing — and justice — for humanity.” However, that message is lost in translation since the song takes more of a summery-vibe approach than a political reformation one. Bieber recently took to Instagram to perform a stripped-back, piano version of his track. The clip on social media sees Bieber sporting a pair of hot pink sunglasses and dreads. Sitting at his piano, the singer launches into a solo rendition of the popular single, which usually features accompaniment from Daniel Caeser and Giveon.

Singer-songwriter Pink just dropped a new single titled "All I Know So Far," and today, we get her own modern-day fairy tale in her new music video. Her 16th and latest collaboration for her new song “All I Know So Far,” which combines eye-popping special effects, guest appearances from Cher, Tony-winning actress Judith Light and Pink’s family — and a heart-rending, family-based, female-empowerment storyline that contains multiple comic, easter-egg references to everything from “Titanic” to “Lord of the Rings” and the World War II-era “We Can Do It!” designed to inspire female factory workers. “All I Know So Far” was produced by Greg Kurstin and written by Pink with Oscar, Grammy and Tony Award-winning songwriters Benj Pasek & Justin Paul (“Dear Evan Hansen”). The track will be featured on Pink’s upcoming album, “All I Know So Far: Setlist,” due May 21st.

Electronic music DJ trio. Consisting of KEVI (Kevin Ford / prince$$ rosie), Trevor Dahl and Matthew Russell of Cheat Codes have released their debut album, "Hellraisers, Pt. 1." The barnstorming dance-pop group has experienced quite the climb in the electronic music scene since their breakthrough track with Demi Lovato, "No Promises." Even before that, though, Cheat Codes had already amassed nearly a billion streams thanks to global hits such as "Shed a Light" and "Sex." Cheat Codes took to social media to rejoice in the news of the impending release, sharing a hand-written note waxing poetic about the journey of recording the album. "It's crazy to think we started this journey with you guys over 5 years ago, and ever since the start of Cheat Codes, it's been a huge goal for us 3 to create an album for you all," the statement reads.

Singer-songwriter and social media personality Conan Gray has returned with a brand new single called "Astronomy." The new track is being lifted from his forthcoming sophomore album called "World Apart," which is set to be released later this year. Nearly a year since the release of his debut album, "Kid Krow," and his most recent song "Overdrive," which is a pure pop joy ride centred in escapism and the freedom of existing without the existential worries of today. He started out uploading vlogs, covers and original songs to YouTube as a teenager from Georgetown, Texas. Gray signed a record deal with Republic Records in 2018, where he released his debut EP "Sunset Season" in 2018. His debut studio album "Kid Krow" debuted at number 5 on the US Billboard 200, making it the biggest US new artist debut of 2020.

Pink has recently unveiled the tracklisting for "All I Know So Far: SetList," a live album recorded during the singer’s Beautiful Trauma World Tour in 2019. Ahead of the album release, Pink has released its title track, the new studio single “All I Know So Far." The Greg Kurstin-produced song was co-written by Pink and the award-winning songwriting team Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. In addition to “All I Know So Far” and the live recordings from the Beautiful Trauma World Tour, "All I Know So Far: SetList" will also include Pink’s acceptance speech for the MTV Video Vanguard Award, as well as “Cover Me in Sunshine,” her duet with her daughter Willow that she released in February. "All I Know So Far: SetList" will be accompanied by "PINK: All I Know So Far," a documentary film directed by Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman) that follows Pink on the Beautiful Trauma World Tour, premiering May 21st on Amazon Prime Video.

Inspired by Brazilian culture, the international teen pop music group formed in Los Angeles Now United has released a new music video for their song titled "Balia." The video was recorded in Los Angeles, and the lyrics and song are inspired by the memories and moments of the group members in the country. In the new music video, members appear in green, yellow and blue uniforms about the Brazilian flag. "You'll be able to feel the Brazilian energy in the choreography and the video. I hope you like it. I am super proud! Said Any Gabrielly. The group was officially launched in mid-2018. Originally the group consisted of 14 members from 14 different countries. Now the group consists of 18 members, each representing a different country and nationality worldwide.

Earlier this year, the return of Fickle Friends was the rebirth of the Brighton band with their aptly titled EP ‘Weird Years: Season 1’. As expected, the synth-pop outfit has now released the sequel "Season 2" following their latest single, "Cosmic Coming Of Age." The new exuberant synth-pop dynamics are matched with lyrics that expose highly vulnerable emotions. Combine that with a new sense of independence and a DIY approach has allowed Fickle Friends to unleash a new kind of potential. Whereas ‘Season 1’ focused on everything that has happened since releasing their Top 10 debut album ‘You Are Someone Else’ in 2018, ‘Weird Years: Season 2’ documents Shiner’s experiences as the new abnormal became the long-term routine. The ‘Weird Years’ concept is also set to be extended into a full album project expected to follow later this year.

Off the heels of the release of Bebe Rexha’s sophomore album "Better Mistakes" and the list of big-name collaborators, she has dropped a new music video. Featuring none other than Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker on her song "Break My Heart Myself," making headlines lately for his new relationship with Kourtney Kardashian and his collab with Rexha, it definitely a banger. She’s been teasing the song on Instagram already, and their joint video premiered along with her album. The result is just as chaotic as you’d expect, with Barker holding things down on the drums while Bebe struts all over the stage, letting everyone know that her mental health issues are present and accounted for.

FrenchDJ, the record producer and songwriter, has shared a new track called "Get Together," which is part of a partnership with Danish beer brand Tuburg. The track sees Guetta return to the more commercial side of his releases after many club focused outputs. With wonderful vocals from the uncredited RANI, which become the track's focal point with the backing off a solid instrumental from the Frenchman. Guetta’s new track, "Get Together," will unite music artists in India, China, Bulgaria, Nepal and Uzbekistan, who will release an official remix of the track that spans a variety of cultures and genres but unified by the same Guetta beat. He has racked up over 50 million record sales globally, whereas his total number of streams is over 10 billion. In addition, Billboard crowned "When Love Takes Over" as the number one dance-pop collaboration of all time.

Australia's princess of dark pop CXLOE has released a new single, "Cry & Drive," lifted from her forthcoming second collection of work. The arrival of the new track was first announced late last month around the same time as CXLOE’s tour announcement. The emotional single was born out of tragedy, following the passing of CXLOE’s grandmother. “I found myself crying and driving on the way home from the hospital, to the point where it was dangerous. I was on the phone with my partner, and he told me to pull over and not cry and drive,” the singer explained in a statement. "Cry & Drive" is the lead single off CXLOE’s forthcoming body of work, which currently has no title or release date. The record follows on from CXLOE’s debut EP, "Heavy Part I," which arrived in October of last year. CXLOE will be touring ‘Heavy Part I’m around the country from later this month, hitting several east coast cities, as well as Adelaide. She will also be making an appearance at the Big Pineapple festival in Queensland.

22-year-old rising rapper, now known as Masked Wolf has dropped a new remix to his hit "Astronaut In The Ocean" that features G-Easy & DDG. He got his start by bootlegging hip-hop CDs on the streets of Sydney to self-finance his debut project. “I paid for everything,” he says, adding that he had 500 copies made. After working his day job as a salesman and consultant, selling corporate printers and helping companies go digital, he walked around the city “trying to sell my album for $10.” All this has lead to today where he now scores his first-charting hit with the electric rap single “Astronaut in the Ocean,” which currently sits at No. 8 on the Billboard Global 200 and also at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100. As of January, a signee to US label Elektra Records, Masked Wolf is hard at work on a new album. He talks to NME about how TikTok upended his life, wanting to collaborate with fellow breakout Aussie rapper The Kid LAROI and what his new material sounds like.

Canadian singer-songwriter JP Saxe released a new song, “Like That,” from his upcoming debut album “Dangerous Levels of Introspection” on May 7, 2021. He wrote the song with his girlfriend Julia Michaels and Ryan Marrone, who also produced the track and is a follow-up to “Line by Line” featuring Maren Morris, which was released back in January. JP Saxe said of the song, “I learned to love in all kinds of new ways over the last year. Terrifying ways, for the most part… but good terrifying. I didn't realize it when Julia and I wrote 'Like That,' but I think it's unintentionally very connected to the first song we ever wrote, 'if the world was ending.' That song is about who you would want to be with if everything went to shit. This song is about who was with you when everything did go to shit.” He is best known for his collaboration with American singer Julia Michaels titled "If the World Was Ending," which was released on October 17, 2019. The song was nominated for a 2021 Grammy.

Slayyter, aka Catherine Slater, has slowly blaring her way into the internet star role with her flavour of dark and glitchy hyper-pop, and today’s latest single titled "Over This" builds on her past work while taking it as close to punk-rock as pop. It is a classic kiss-off track that goes after an ex with zero remorse, letting a regretful lover from her past know that she’s not ready to get back into it. Slayyyter is gearing up for the release of her debut album, "Troubled Paradise," and has been giving fans a taste of the sometimes bubblegum or frenetic direction she’s heading. This year, another early single, “Clouds,” veered into 2000s bubblegum nostalgia with a dreamy chorus. Then, last month she dipped her toes into a country-flecked track with the campy “Cowboy,” a song that has about as much to do with country music as “Old Town Road.”

English singer-songwriter Tom Odell has released yet another single titled "Money," a cynically comic belter that wouldn’t sound out of place in a wacky West End musical. The song is lifted from his upcoming fourth studio album titled "Monsters," to be released on June 25, 2021. He stated that his new album would feature darker, electro-pop tones, and the lyrics were inspired by artists such as XXXTentacion, Drake and Travis Scott. His new material is almost unrecognizable from the crowd-pleasing choral anthems and melancholy ballads about the heartbreak that propelled the floppy-haired 21-year-old to global stardom after he was discovered by Lily Allen while performing at Ronnie Scott’s in 2012. Two singles have already been released from the album, including "Numb," the lead single released in February 2021 and "Monster v.1" in March 2021.

A multi-instrumentalist, the singer-songwriter has released a new single titled "Feel Something" alongside a new music video. Bassett got his start after landing the role of Ricky Bowen on the Disney+ show "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series" in 2019, and with a rising solo career that has seen him signed to Warner Records, Bassett has all the makings of the next big thing. The upbeat anthem glides along on shimmering synths as Joshua's voice fluctuates between intimate verses and a hypnotic high-register refrain. The accompanying music video plays out like your favourite idyllic John Hughes coming-of-age flick. Joshua and his creative director Sarah Carpenter, co-directed, follows our star and three friends on a carefree suburban night complete with a self-service carwash trip gone wild, shopping cart shenanigans, and cinematic moments under the stars. He recently teamed up with co-star Olivia Rodrigo for the blockbuster duet "Best Part/Even When" from High School Musical: The Musical The Series. Meanwhile, Season 2 of High School Musical: The Musical The Series premieres on May 14.

Coldplay has shared their new single titled “Higher Power.” which was produced by Max Martin. The band premiered via an extraterrestrial transmission (complete with dancing alien holograms) from the International Space Station. The band also linked up virtually with French ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet, who is currently aboard the ISS. The group began work on the track early last year. After releasing the double LP "Everyday Life" in 2019, Coldplay said they would no longer tour due to concerns over the environmental impact. More recently, singer Chris Martin joined Burna Boy on “Monsters You Made” from last year's "Twice as Tall." The new track is the closest release to the band’s 2011 triumphant technicolour album "Mylo Xyloto," a sound defined by waterfalls of synths, commanding basslines and rich, textured vocals welcoming a wide variety of vibrant voices into the fold.

In February, MOD SUN released his latest full-length 'Internet Killed The Rockstar' and featured the songs "Karma" and Bones." Now he has unleashed the deluxe version of the record. The eight-track album includes the acoustic version of "Flames," his catchy scream-along love song with Canadian Hot Topic icon Avril Lavigne that has racked up more than 25 million streams and counting. It's by far the most popular music Mod Sun has ever made, and not coincidentally his most authentic. Over the past two years, he's gotten sober, dusted off his drumsticks and fully embraced the Gen-Z pop-punk revival, working alongside Machine Gun Kelly, Blink-182's Travis Barker, and veteran alt-rock hit producer John Feldmann to not only release his own creative output but also mentor the teens who are experimenting with old skatepark sounds that have become new again.

It’s been four years since his last album, "Human." Now, Rory Graham, better known as Rag’n’Bone Man, has finally released his long-awaited follow-up "Life Of Misadventures." Like artists like Adele, Maverick Sabre, and Florence Welch, Rag'n'Bone Man's voice is distinctive and unmistakable, shining through regardless of what song he is pouring his soul into. In "Life By Misadventure," Graham has taken a step back in displaying his vocal capabilities and honed in on the lyrics more. Thriving on honesty, he proves that he can relay rawness through both his words and his song. It is vulnerable, it’s raw, it’s powerful, it’s real, it’s free, and it’s unapologetic. Each track on "Life By Misadventure" is a standout in its own right, a thoroughly well-put-together album from start to finish.
