Teddy Swims became majorly mainstream in the past couple of years, thanks to his massive hit “Lose Control” which was (and still is) everywhere. And he proved that he’s no one-hit wonder with more hits like “The Door” and “Bad Dreams”, which are also getting major airplay. His sound is perfect- incredible bluesy rock vocals that seem to have no limit, plus great, catchy songs that pretty much everyone can enjoy. I always say that he’s what would happen if Chris Stapleton and Jelly Roll had a baby.
Anyhow, Teddy has a new album out called “I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 2)” and here’s the new single off of it called “Guilty”:
Pretty damn good, right?
Teddy’s vocals are in another universe.
Yeah, this guy isn’t going anywhere, and that’s a good thing.
Chappell Roan is everywhere this year, as she should be.
She burst onto the scene earlier this year with her smash hit “Good Luck, Babe” which is catchy as HELL, and now is heating up the charts with her new single “HOT TO GO”. I absolutely love her music, which is described as “Dark Pop” by some, and her talent is really impressive. If you go down the rabbit hole and check out videos of her before she became famous, trust me, you will be hella impressed.
In the meantime, prepare to be impressed by Chappell Roan’s recent cover of one of her favorite songs- the iconic Heart track from the late 70’s “Barracuda”:
Um, HELLO!
I love how Chappell Roan made it her own, and didn’t try to be exactly like the original. Which is hard for ANYONE to do, as Anne Wilson of Heart is next freaking level vocally.
And let’s talk about her band- some amazingly women are on this stage. I absolutely love seeing this!
Chappell Roan is just getting started… although she says she may quit eventually as fame isn’t really for her. (Can’t blame her there… being famous sounds fun for maybe five minutes, then it sounds horrific.)
That being said, you might want to catch her before she bails… she seems like she puts on one hell of a show.
Gwen Stefani just dropped a new song today called “Somebody Else’s” off her upcoming fifth studio album “Bouquet”, and it’s basically a diss track about her ex-husband Gavin Rossdale.
I mean, she didn’t exactly come out and specify, but come on… it totally is:
Sick burn.
It’s actually pretty catchy and fun, and I love the theme- after all, isn’t the opposite of love not hate, but indifference?
Also, with Gavin Rossdale’s history of infidelity, and now dating Gwen’s younger clone, he may kind of deserve it.
I honestly love her and Blake Shelton together. Hey, opposites attract, and there’s nothing wrong with the Country life. Maybe it’s refreshing for Gwen to live with a real person who would rather drive a tractor and go hunting than one who lives the rockstar lifestyle.
Who knows?
Anyhow, if you want more new Gwen, her album “Bouquet” comes out November 15th.
Although, what I really want is another No Doubt reunion.
Her latest album “The Tourtured Poets Department” is spending it’s 11th week at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart, with millions of copies of sold so far. Some people are complaining that she keeps releasing different versions of her album to keep the top spot, but so what? People are buying it. That just makes Taylor one hell of a business woman, which we already knew that.
Taylor also just released an acoustic version of her latest single “Fortnight” featuring Post Malone, and it’s just as hauntingly pretty as the original:
Damn, that song is such a mood.
Woman is unstoppable, and sorry haters, you’re gonna see a hell of a lot of her at the Chiefs games this Fall, as she and the NFL have made the schedules so that she could attend as many Chiefs games as possible to cheer on her boyfriend Travis Kelce.
Until recently, she enjoyed moderate Pop success, but 2024 has sent this little lady (she’s 4’11) into the stratosphere.
Her music, especially as of late, has been so fun and catchy- pure Pop perfection. I mean, “Feather” and “Espresso” have been radio staples this year, and her new song “Please, Please, Please” is sure to be another big hit:
How great is that? And the video! I grew up in the 80’s and 90’s in the thick of the music video era, so I love a good visual to go with a song, and this one is pretty damn fantastic. Her real-life boyfriend Barry Keoghan (from “Saltburn! ) plays her troublesome love interest and nails it.
I love the creative lyrics in the song- I mean, we’ve all been in relationships where the other is kind of an ass, right? One of the things that I am really liking about Sabrina is that she has smart, relatable lyrics set to catchy AF music.
I think she is just getting started…
Sabrina Carpenter’s new album “Short n’ Sweet” drops August 23rd.
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.
