Lady Gaga has unveiled the official cover of Chromatica and it's a punk/sci-fi fantasy that falls somewhere between Mad Max and Alien. Heavily inspired by the work of H.R. Giger, the cover finds Mother Monster attached to a metal grate, back lit by hot pink neon. It's striking, memorable and instantly iconic. The "Stupid Love" hitmaker also shared pics of the vinyl picture disc and a retro cassette....

The first quarter of 2020 was a hell-ride of historic proportions, but at least it had a good soundtrack. From the reemergence of dance-pop thanks to Dua Lipa and Lady Gaga to the ever-widening reach of Latin music, there has been no shortage of bops. After the dark days of introspective whispering (i.e. 2019), hitmakers suddenly gave themselves permission to have a little fun — dipping into disco,...

It's really happening. Yesterday (March 31), Lindsay Lohan revealed that she was embarking on a pop comeback... but we've heard that several time before over the last few years. This time, however, the 33-year-old has kept her word. The much-missed pop star's new single is called "Back To Me" and it drops on April 3. Lindsay even shared a snippet of the song, which might already be familiar to some...

While many big artists are postponing their projects due to the global pandemic, some are bravely forging ahead. Kelly Clarkson belongs to the latter category. The first and best American Idol is rolling out a new single called "I Dare You" on April 16 and it's close to the hitmaker's heart. "This is my favorite/hardest project that I've ever worked on," she revealed in an announcement post. "I can't...

Toss on your fanciest leotards, grab your supersized boom boxes and get ready to dance. Why? Because today's the day to revisit one of the Queen of Pop's most beloved eras to date. Yes, I'm talking about Confessions On A Dance Floor. Released in 2005 (get ready to celebrate the 15th anniversary this November), Madonna's tenth album is a nonstop party from start to finish. Literally. Inspired by a DJ...

Dua Lipa is the hero we need in 2020. And she's doing everything right. In a time of global uncertainty, the 24-year-old brings a breath a fresh air with the release of her sophomore album Future Nostalgia. Out March 27 (one week ahead of schedule), the collection provides respite from the glut of negative energy. Suffice to say, there's no sophomore slump here. Instead, the Best New Artist Grammy...

He's back! Today Troye Sivan returns to the fold with "Take Yourself Home." And the 24-year-old has clearly upped his skills since dropping the already very good Bloom in 2018. His latest is a sweeping anthem with a continuously morphing production courtesy of Oscar Görres. "I'm tired of the city. Scream if you're with me. If I'm gonna die, let's die somewhere pretty," he sings over strings and a...

It's time to toss on your finest pair of assless chaps and trim your brows up nice and thin, Fighters. Why's that? Because we're taking a trip down memory lane to revisit Christina Aguilera's dirrtiest era to date. Legend X established herself as instant teen royalty with the release of her self-titled album in the late '90s. But by the time Stripped arrived in 2002, the big-voiced diva was all grown...

After cutting her teeth as a songwriter in Los Angeles, Ingrid Andress moved to Nashville and dedicated herself to country music. It was a gamble, but the reward was immediate and immense. Last year, the 28-year-old caught lightning in a bottle with "More Hearts Than Mine" — a song about the emotional ties that bind when you have been accepted into someone's family — and landed her first entry...

Like Flicker, Niall Horan's sophomore LP predominantly deals with matters of the heart. The tone of Heartbreak Weather is, however, noticeably lighter and brighter. In fact, it just might be pop's first, feel-good breakup album. Not that the subject matter is trivial. The 14 songs chart the life cycle of a relationship, from the initial spark of attraction right through to the emotional aftermath that...

Selena Gomez first started tinkering away at the followup up to Revival in 2016. The superstar converted a tourbus into a mobile studio and invited along a group of songwriters and producers to record demos between concerts. Unfortunately, life got in the way and they were never released (with the exception of "Feel Me"). Since then, Selena has experimented with different sounds on a steady stream...

Allie X has been creating elaborate worlds in her music since emerging on the scene. 2018's Super Sunset for instance found the pop auteur telling the stories of characters ranging from a nun to a Hollywood starlet. Talk about range. However, everything she's done in the past pales in comparison to the world she rendered on Cape God. Out Friday (February 21), the album goes above and beyond. Why? Because...
