People just can’t get enough of The Weeknd - even other musicians. He’s taken the industry by storm with the release of new music off his upcoming record, but the lead single, “Starboy,” is really the one responsible for turning heads. And, what better way to celebrate its success than to cover the song? That’s how Panic! At The Disco probably feels, as they recently covered the hit track for BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge.
If Icona Pop make you think of one thing, it’s dancing. The electro-pop duo have tunes that’ll make feet move all night long, and their new single, “Brightside,” isn’t any different. After releasing the song last month, the girls are dropping a super fun music video to accompany it.
Good things come to those who wait, and A Tribe Called Quest have been waiting for a very long time. After over 20 years, a hiatus that spanned nearly just as long, and the untimely death of member Phife Dawg, the iconic hip-hop group have another number one album with their recently released record, We Got It From Here… Thank You 4 Your Service.
Kanye West’s Saint Pablo tour has been a pretty huge success since the first leg kicked off this past August, but it wasn’t without its fair share of controversy. Whether it involved long winded rants about Drake, Jay Z, or Donald Trump - or the numerous times West canceled shows - going to one of the tour dates seemed to be a gamble of sorts. Now, following a string of canceled shows, a representative confirms that all of the 20+ remaining dates for the tour have been canned. Refunds will be granted at point of purchase.
There’s no question that Bruno Mars is one of the cockiest people in music. His new album, 24k Magic, will surely go down as one of the cockiest albums of the year - hell, maybe even of all-time. Mars is a guy who can get away with being absent from releasing new material for four years, only to come back somehow bigger and better than ever and survive the incredible pressure of following up a song that got certified Diamond.
Days after debuting the newly remixed version of “Slumber Party” featuring singer Tinashe, Britney Spears drops the music video to accompanying the chilled-out pop track.
The initial shock of Childish Gambino’s new music is now over and it’s time to just simply enjoy the reality. Though the artist spent most of his career rapping and diving into R&B, the tracks that he's debuted off his upcoming record, Awaken, My Love!, has flipped expectations on their head; it isn’t rap - it’s barely even hip-hop.
John Mayer’s teasing comes to a close with the release of his new single, “Love on the Weekend.” After alluding to a new song or possible album release a week ago, the track arrives to the delight of fans everywhere. Obviously, there was no surprise record to be found -- but Mayer said one would be arriving next year.
Macklemore brought his latest single, “Drug Dealer,” to life when he performed the track on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon. Joining him was, of course, the song’s guest vocalist, Ariana Deboo, to make sure the performance held up to the studio version as much as possible. As a result, Macklemore has no problem doing it justice.
New music from Sia keeps on rolling through, and you won’t hear anybody complaining about it. Whether they’re new songs on a deluxe edition or tracks she penned for other artists, the Australian superstar is killing it in the vocal booth, onstage, and behind the scenes, too. Her latest offering is a song called “Never Give Up,” and it acts as the theme to the recent movie, Lion, starring Dev Patel and Rooney Mara.
