The who's who of the UK music industry walked the red carpet at tonight's (February 18) Brit Awards in London. One Direction heartthrobs Harry Styles and Niall Horan looked as dapper as ever as they posed for pics, while Ellie Goulding, Anne-Marie and Charli XCX brought a lot of glamor to the proceedings. The older guard of pop was also well represented by Spice legend Melanie C, comeback queen Louise...

By 2011, Taylor Swift had already started edging towards pop. She would complete the transition on 2012's Red, but she still had one, last country classic to write. A collaboration with The Civil Wars, "Safe & Sound" was one of two new songs Taylor contributed to The Hunger Games: Songs from District 12 and Beyond. With its sparse, eerie production and alt-sensibility, "Safe & Sound" ranks as one of...

It's Valentine's Day, which either means you're likely either spending the day happily coupled up or living the single life. Either way, Justin Bieber came through with a treat to sweeten your mood. What does he have for us? The 25-year-old dropped his long-awaited Changes. And it sounds like he packed some massive hits on the tracklist to his first collection since 2015's Purpose. Or course, we're...

Billie Eilish conquered the world in 2019. And she's reaping the rewards as we move into 2020. The 18-year-old had a historic run at the Grammys, where she picked up a trophy in each of the Big Four categories. Doing so made her the first to pull off the feat since Christopher Cross, according to Billboard. She's also the youngest artist to win Album Of The Year, besting a record previously held by...

Sam Smith came through with a one-two punch this week. The blue-eyed beauty captured our attention yesterday by spilling some piping tea about their long-awaited third album To Die For. The project (their first since 2017's The Thrill Of It All) drops May 1. Thankfully we don't have to wait that long for a taste of the tracklist. Today (February 14), they came through with the title track. And it is...

Hold on to your wigs, because The Pussycat Dolls are about to snatch them clean off your heads. Back in November the legendary troupe got back together for a performance on X Factor: Celebrity ahead of this year's reunion tour. During the hit-filled, perfectly choreographed set, Nicole Scherzinger and Co. teased a new single called "React." Then they kept us waiting for literal months to hear it in...

Margot Robbie put her iconic pastel pigtails back in, grabbed her trusty mallet and reassumed the role of Harley Quinn in DC's latest blockbuster Birds Of Prey (out February 7). And she and her crew of fellow ass-kicking anti-heroines are being supported in theaters by an equally talented crew of female musicians on the soundtrack. Released via Atlantic Records it boasts a genre-spanning lineup including...

We're one month into 2020 today (January 31), and we've already gotten some excellent music. Selena Gomez and Halsey came through with two of the year's first very, very good albums. And we've just received new collections from the likes of Kesha, Meghan Trainor and Louis Tomlinson. Here's the best news: There's more on the way. A lot more to be exact. So we at Idolator took on the momentous task of...

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...

Ashley Nicolette Frangipane (Halsey's real name) welcomes us further than ever before into her world on Manic. That's evident with a glance at the LP's cover art, which proclaims the project is Halsey's third release (H3) but Ashley's first (A01). Unlike previous albums where the 25-year-old plays a character or uses intricate metaphors to tell stories, what we get this time comes directly from her...

2019 was a banner year for film, that is if you knew where to look. Between the (largely dire) superhero movies, unnecessary remakes and robotic reboots, multiplexes plumbed new depths in the year that was. For every decent blockbuster, there were half a dozen unwatchable monstrosities. It was a different story at the arthouse, however, with the titans of world cinema coming through with gripping,...

Grateful the glut of Year-End lists is over? Ready to Men In Black 2019 from your memory and dive into a new decade? Well, here's a little something to cleanse your pop palate! I've put together a list of 40 artists expected to make serious noise in the next 12 months. The goal isn’t so much to predict The Next Big Thing (although all of them are legitimate contenders) as to introduce you to a group...
