New Kids on the Block just announced their first new album in 11 years called “Still Kids” AND released the first single off of it called “Kids” and it’s seriously so much fun:
LOOOVVVEEEE!
So much nostalgia here. And as a 41-year old woman who is still, indeed, a kid, I totally relate!
I was obsessed with these guys as a kiddo. I had the bed sheets, the Donny Wahlberg keychain, the shirts… all the cheesy things!
Oh, and let’s not forget this glorious dance that I couldn’t stop doing in the first grade:
Reminds me of the skate nights in elementary school. Man, growing up in the late eighties/early nineties was THE BEST!!!!
“Still Kids” drops May 17th, and I hear a tour will follow?
Morgan Wallen is easily one of the biggest stars on the radio right now- not just in Country, but in Pop as well. His latest album “One Thing at a Time” was released a year ago, and it was the biggest selling album of 2023, and solidified his superstardom.
So, to celebrate such a momentous occasion, Morgan Wallen released a 7 song project called “Abbey Road Sessions” recorded last Fall at the iconic Abbey Road Studios in London as a gift to his fans.
And within that project, he released a fan favorite “Lies, Lies, Lies”- check it out below!
Pretty dang catchy, right? I’m it will end up being another #1 hit because, well, it’s Morgan Wallen. He’s pretty much the Taylor Swift of Country music right now.
Here are the other songs on his project:
“Sunrise”
“Graveyard Whistling”
“I Deserve a Drink”
“I Wrote the Book”
“Everything I Love”
“Thinkin’ Bout Me”
Pretty cool, right? What an iconic place to record. Also, he sounds great.
Morgan is currently working on his next project, as well as hitting the road BIG TIME this year.
Last night, Kacey Musgraves was the Musical Guest on “Saturday Night Live” ahead the release of her new album “Deeper Well”, and of course, she owned it:
Here’s her performance of the title track “Deeper Well”:
And her latest single “Too Good to Be True”:
Kacey is always simplistic perfection with her music and her live performances. There’s something almost hypnotic about her voice, and her overall aura. I’ve never understood why she never got as much airplay as say… Carrie Underwood or Kelsea Ballerini in Country radio. I’ve always advocated for her, and I remember playing the fire out of “Merry Go Round”, “Follow Your Arrow” and “Blowin’ Smoke”, but for some reason they never hit the top of the charts. Not that it matters… Kacey has proven that she doesn’t need twenty number one hits to be a staple. I mean, Florida-Georgia Line had a ton of #1 songs, and let’s be real, they’re weren’t a patch on Kacey’s artistry and talent. Kacey has stood her ground, and has the career longevity (and Grammys!) to prove it.
I’m excited for her next chapter, in which she returns to her Country roots. Her album “Deeper Well” drops March 15th.
Miley Cyrus has teamed back up with Pharrell Williams for a poppin’ new rack called “Doctor (Work it Out) and it’s fun as hell.
The track was originally supposed to be on Miley’s 2013 album “Bangerz”, but was scrapped from the project. Over a decade later, here it is, and I’m sure you’ll be hearing it A LOT in 2024.
Ok, so not the most brilliant lyrics, but I’m pretty sure that’s not the point of this song.
It’s fun, catchy, and has a great beat (because Pharrell) and I’ve been singing it all morning.
That’s a good sign.
Also, Miley giving Barbarella/Tina Turner vibes is my favorite version of her.
Years ago, she merely annoyed me, but she has totally proven herself as an artist, and is now one of my favorites. She’s been through a lot, and has come through slaying.
Carly Pearce just announced her fourth studio album via Big Machine Label Group! I figured it was coming soon, as she wiped her instagram clean this week- always a good indicator that something is coming.
The new album is called “hummingbird” and is out June 14th. And the title track is absolutely STUNNING:
How gorgeous is that?
I was immediately transported into another world with that song. It’s one that brings it’s own imagery, which is one of my favorite things that a song can do.
Here’s what Carly put on her instagram to tease the song:
I love that so much. It seems like Carly is coming through the tough times beautifully, and I can’t wait to hear the full album
You can also catch her on the road with Tim McGraw this Spring/Summer on the “Standing Room Only” tour, and you can find the dates at http://carlypearce.com
Kacey Musgraves just released her second single off of her upcoming “Deeper Well” album today- I wasn’t expecting i until tomorrow, but hey, I’m not mad at it!
And of course, the song is beautiful, like every other song she releases.
It’s called “Too Good To Be True”, and it’s about the glow of an early relationship when everything is perfect, and you’re waiting for that oher shoe to drop, so to speak:
I just absolutely love her voice. So simple and pure, as is her music.
Her new album “Deeper Well”, in which she returns to her Country roots (good!)- comes out March 15th. Kacey also just announced her “Deeper Well” world tour, and you can get dates and other info at http://kaceymusgraves.com
Both she and Justin Timberlake are releasing new albums on March 15th.
Well, this was an unexpected collaboration, but I’m not mad at it!
Miranda Lambert (one of my favorites ever) teamed up with Pop Star Enrique Iglesias for a song called “Space in My Heart”.
I wasn’t sure what to expect, but honestly, I was pleasantly surprised:
Overall, I found it very sweet, and easy to listen to. It perfectly captures that moment in a new relationship where you know it could be something special, but you don’t want to get your hopes up too much just in case.
Miranda has many more collabs coming- I know she’d been writing with Wade Bowen and Ashley Monroe this year, and I’m really hoping for a release of this song she performed with Miranda Lambert in December:
