Fifth Harmony only released their latest record, 7/27, a couple of months ago, but that isn’t stopping the “Work From Home” girls from planning well into the future when it comes to new music. Despite rumblings of member Camila Cabello possibly going solo following her single with Machine Gun Kelly, the group is already thinking about album number three.
The beauty of co-writes is that you get to experience a song from the eyes of somebody completely different than the artist. As a result, it lets the musician explore new boundaries and potentially take their songs to a level that it’s never been before. Still, despite how good a co-written song may be, there’s still that desire from the listener to hear what the song would sound like if the co-writer happened to be the main artist instead. Bruno Mars is the king of co-writes, and he lent his hand to a number of tracks well before he hit it big on his own. Last year, he assisted Adele on her epic 25 track, “All I Ask,” and while it was great in its own right, it begged the question of how different it’d be if he took her place on vocal duties. Now, it’s a reality.
Hamilton is a juggernaut that just never stops getting bigger. You know the actors, you know the songs, and chances are, you were probably one of the sad souls that missed out on numerous ticket lotteries for the Broadway smash. Its rise to its already-legendary status is truly remarkable, and now it’s getting even better: a mixtape brought to you by Lin-Manuel Miranda.
For a hot second, the Internet went ablaze in thinking that Taylor Swift and Drake were going to be the new couple to sweep the headlines as the next big celebrity romance. Turns out, there’s still a relationship going on, but of the musical variety instead - and that’s much more exciting to hear.
The upcoming Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show will showcase a stacked line-up of some of the most famous models around, but not everyone is watching only for that. The show has also become known for its musical performances, too, and past fashion shows have included the likes of Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake, and more. However, this year ups the ante with one of their most exciting musical line-ups to date, featuring "Starboy" artist The Weeknd as one of the marquee performers.
After a summer of getting sticky sweet with Quest Nutrition and penning a song in ode to their blueberry muffin protein bars, Bonnie McKee is getting back on track with music that doesn’t partner with a corporation. Dropping videos for each song off her 2015 EP, Bombastic, McKee has now revealed the latest clip for her song “Easy.”
It doesn't take a Bruno Mars super fan to understand that the pop star isn't happy with being second best -- he wants everything that he does to be perfect. It's part of the reason why so much time has passed between his last record, Unorthodox Jukebox, and his new one, 24k Magic (almost four years). In fact, it's the reason why “Uptown Funk” almost never even happened.
Before Justin Timberlake announced what would be his magnum opus, The 20/20 Experience, the making of the record was shrouded in mystery. Timberlake was simply not one to speak about the fact that he was recording a record, and it was a surprise that he even made a new album to begin with. However, he’s become much more transparent since then, and we aren’t complaining.
Tove Lo is showing off her creative side with the release of a thirty-minute short film entitled Fairy Dust. Teased for the past few weeks, Fairy Dust arrives just days after the artist unleashed her latest record, Lady Wood, and the video naturally features some the album's tracks, such as “Influence,” “Cool Girl and many more.
Taylor Swift has proven to be the queen of secret co-writes. After being revealed as a co-writer to the summer smash, “This Is What You Came For,” by Calvin Harris and Rihanna, Swift is getting credit for something that returns her to her roots just a tiny bit -- Little Big Town’s new single, “Better Man.”
