Chappell Roan and Nancy Wilson of Heart “Barracuda”

Ahhhhhh!

This is so badass.

Pop Superstar Chappell Roan is known for her killer vocals, and for performing Heart’s 1970’s hit “Barracuda” live in concert.

Well, that just got amplified by none other than Nancy Wilson of Heart joining Chappell Roan for a rendition at Forest Hills Stadium in NYC recently.

It rocks just as hard as you would think:


HELL YES!!!!!

So much badassery on one stage.

Chappell Roan is KILLING it!

Catch her on the road- dates are at https://www.iamchappellroan.com/ and Heart has extended their tour- more info at https://www.heart-music.com/

Cheers to the Rock Goddesses!!!

Sabrina Carpenter “Sweet Child of Mine”

Sabrina Carpenter is easily one of the biggest pop stars today.

Which, really, is why it’s so fun to see throwback videos to when she started.

Like this epic, terrible quality video of her performing “Sweet Child of Mine” in 2010 when she was just 10 years old.

She actually did pretty well, considering…


As a Guns N’ Roses fan, I appreciate it.

Of course, Sabrina Carpenter’s music now is totally on the other end of the spectrum, in the sexy, bubblegum pop genre.

But maybe, just maybe, since this video is making the rounds, she can give this song a go again?

I’d be down for it.

Also, Sabrina’s new album “Man’s Best Friend” drops August 29th.

So, yeah, there’s no getting away from this girl!

Alex Warren and Rose’ “On My Mind”

It being Friday, there’s a lot of new music dropping, and this duet by Alex Warren and Rose is really catching my attention.

It’s called “On My Mind” and I’m thinking it will be in heavy rotation on Top 40 and AC radio stations soon… as it should be:


The more I listen to it, the more I love it.

Alex Warren is currently spending his third non-consecutive week on top the Billboard Hot 100 with “Ordinary”, so this is the perfect time to release this collab.

Honestly, there are some really great artists and songs on Pop Radio right now, and I’m loving it!

Miley Cyrus “Easy Lover”

Miley Cyrus is unstoppable.

Her new album “Something Beautiful” dropped this morning, and so far, what I’ve heard is pretty damn fantastic.

Her new single is a freaking jam- check out “Easy Lover” below:


Honestly, I was hoping it would be a cover of Phil Collins and Phillip Bailey’s “Easy Lover”, but alas, it’s not.

 

Remember this gem?

 

Anyhow, Miley’s “Easy Lover” is almost just as catchy, and I can’t wait to hear the rest of the album today.
Again, I’ll admit that I barely tolerated Miley for the better part of a decade, but she has completely proven herself as one hell of a pop artist and vocalist.

Oh, and her album has a movie to go with it, and will be in theaters one night only on June 12th.

Here’s the trailer:

I low key want to see this…

Miley is KILLING it!

Kelly Clarkson “Where Have You Been”

Kelly Clarkson just made Friday that much better by giving us a beautiful new song called “Where Have You Been”

Unlike a lot of her music as of late, this song is actually positive and uplifting, and was actually inspired by a scene in the tv show “Only Murders in the Building” where Martin Short’s character said “Where have you been?” in wonderment to Meryl Streep’s character.

Kelly thought it was the sweetest thing, so she wrote a song inspired by the scene:

Isn’t that pretty? I think this is definitely one of my favorite songs that Kelly has released in a long time.

It’s also off of her new label “High Road Records” and I’m guessing we’ll get a new full-length album soon.

 

Stay tuned!

Ed Sheeran “Old Phone”

Ed Sheeran just released a nostalgic new song off of his upcoming album “Play” called “Old Phone”, and it’s definitely one to make you stop and think…


Another winner from Ed… and he also announced that his upcoming album “Play” will be out on September 12th.

Between this and his hit single “Azizam”, I have a feeling it’s going to be one of his best.

Miley Cyrus “End of the World” Live From Chateau Marmont

Miley Cryus is turning into one hell of an artist.

She annoyed me during her Hannah Montana days, then her twerking days, but these last several years, she is proving that she definitely has the damn goods.

Her new single “End of the World” is pop perfection, and she delivered a live version of it today from the famed Chateau Marmont:

I absolutely adore her smoky, alto voice, and the emotion that she can deliver to a song.

If you haven’t heard the studio version, it’s pretty awesome:


“End of the World” is off of her new album “Something Beautiful” which comes out May 30th.

I can’t wait to hear what she has for us next!

Ed Sheeran “Azizam”

What makes Friday EVEN better?

New Ed Sheeran!

The Pop Superstar just dropped the first track off of his upcoming album “Play”, and it’s super fun and catchy.

Check out “Azizam”:


Well, that was fun! Ed said that he wanted to create a dance/party song that had Irish and Persian folk music influences, and he definitely delivered.

“Azizam” means “my dear” or “my darling” in Farsi, and I am loving the creativity and the different cultural influences that Ed put into the song.

“Azizam” is off of Ed Sheeran’s upcoming album “Play”, which will be out sometime this year, as will the official music video for “Azizam”.

One of my favorite things about Ed Sheeran is not only his incredible scope of talent, but the fact that he can pretty much do any kind of music, and you never know what he will come out with next.

Stay tuned for more!!!

Chappell Roan Goes Country With “The Giver”!

Unless you’ve been living solely on another planet, you’ve heard about the incredibly talented Chappell Roan.

You know… the creative mind and killer voice behind Pop hits like “Good Luck Babe”, “Hot to Go”, and “Pink Pony Club”, and, of course, the winner of the coveted Grammy for “Best New Artist” this year.

She’s kind of a badass.

Well, the dropped her “Country” song today, and even as a 100,000 %  straight woman, I can appreciate it.

Check out “The Giver”:

Catchy, right?

Basically, she’s saying she can do it better than any man can.

I don’t doubt it.

And, Country traditionalists… don’t lose your mind. She only released a Country song for fun. She grew up in rural Missouri, and is pretty well-versed in the Country lifestyle. So, yeah, she gets a hall pass.

She has confirmed this week that she is staying in Pop music, but she wanted to drop a Country song because she loves the genre, and it’s what she grew up on.

Fair enough.

The woman can sing and perform her ass off, and is really a breath of fresh air on the Pop scene.

Oh, and she gets the job DONNNNNNEEEEE.

What more do you want?

Rick Astley Covers “Pink Pony Club”

I think the one thing that America can agree on is that Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club” is a freaking bop to end all bops.

Are the cool kids still using the word bop?

Oh well.

I digress…


Now we’re at the point where everyone is doing their own spins on the massive hit, and that includes the 80’s legend Rick Astley.

Did we need this?

Yes, yes we did.


Well done, Rick.

He still has that voice.

In case you didn’t exist in the 80’s, here’s Rick in his prime:


The 80’s.

What a time to be alive.
