The biggest names in trap and reggaeton descended upon the scenic beach resort of Rosarito, Mexico for the second annual Baja Beach Fest on August 16. Founded by Chris Den Uijl and Aaron Ampudia in 2018, the sun-soaked live extravaganza is a celebration of Latin music and culture. In its brief history, Baja Beach Fest has already doubled in size (there are now two days of beachside fun) and popularity....

Normani can do no wrong. The 23-year-old is poised to be one of the biggest stars on the planet. Since going solo, the Fifth Harmony alum has landed a string of mega-successful collabs including "Love Lies" and this year's "Dancing With A Stranger." Today (August 16), she returns with what is bound to be her next big hit - "Motivation." Produced by Ilya Salmanzedeh and featuring writing credits from...

Social House has had their hands in some of the biggest songs in the last 12 months. The duo, comprised of Mikey Foster and Charles Scootie Anderson, assisted with Ariana Grande's smashes "thank u, next" and "7 rings." In the meantime, they've been building up an equally impressive discography of their own. The Pittsburgh natives landed a hit out of the gate with debut single "Magic In The Hamptons."...

Taylor Swift's Lover is shaping up to be the most eclectic album of her career. After introducing the opus with the sing-along, bubblegum-pop of "ME!," the superstar took aim at haters on the super slick "You Need To Calm Down." That was followed by an '80s-referencing synth-pop anthem called "The Archer" and, now, the stripped-back title track. "Lover" is a throwback of sorts to the wide-eyed, romantic...

Charli XCX's self-titled album is shaping up to be something very special. The Brit has released a string of perfect singles in the lead-up to its September 13 release date. That includes collabs with some of the industries most innovative hitmakers like Troye Sivan ("1999"), Lizzo ("Blame It On Your Love") and Christine And The Queens ("Gone"). Today (August 16), she continues the trend by joining...

Miley Cyrus seemingly addresses her breakup with Liam Hemsworth on new single "Slide Away." Produced by Andrew Wyatt and Mike WiLL Made-It, the raw, emotional track doubles as a therapy session. "Once upon a time it was paradise, once upon a time I was paralyzed," she begins the track over woozy guitar. "Think I'm gonna miss these harbor lights but it's time to let it go." As the song progresses, Miley...

Carly Rae Jepsen treats pop with the reverence it deserves. The Canadian superstar spent three, long years chipping away at the followup to 2015's universally-loved Emotion. Along the way, she went through a breakup, traveled the world and fell in love again — and captured those highs (and lows) with remarkable clarity on 200 songs. Of those, 15 made the final cut of Dedicated. And each and every...

Katy Perry dissects matters of the heart with the skill of a surgeon. When she's not detailing the danger of an old flame suddenly reigniting ("Never Really Over"), the pop star is coming to terms with a current love petering out. That's the subject matter of "Small Talk." Co-written with Johan Carlsson, Charlie Puth and Jacob Kasher, the second taste of KP5 is every bit as addictive and deceptively...

Lewis Capaldi is shaping up to be one of the breakout stars of 2019 thanks to a ballad called "Someone You Loved." The gut-wrenching breakup anthem has already topped the charts in the UK and Europe, and is a fairly safe bet to repeat the feat in America. (Streaming and download data suggests an imminent debut on the Billboard Hot 100). And there are more hits where that came from. The 22-year-old...

Armed with a seemingly never-ending collection of bops, Kim Petras has established herself as one of the brightest talents in a new class of pop stars. Since making her debut in 2017, every song she's released has been a gem. And this year the 26-year-old really took things to the next level. Back in April, she kicked off her second era with "Broken." What followed was an ambitious roll-out schedule...

Madame X is a radical body of work, but perhaps not in the way Madonna intended. She rails against injustice and oppression with the fervor of a preacher, imbuing the album with a righteousness that is palpable. As brave and commendable as that is, the Queen of Pop's musical missives lack nuance. Rather, it's her complete defiance of genre that makes Madame X genuinely groundbreaking.From the promo...
