Get ready, music lovers! Sabrina Carpenter is set to drop her highly anticipated 6th album, “Short n’ Sweet”, via Polydor Records. Following the record-breaking success of her lead single, “Espresso,” which dominated the UK charts for seven consecutive weeks and held the Spotify Global Chart top spot for an impressive eleven weeks with over half a billion streams, Sabrina is riding high.

Hot on the heels of “Espresso,” the follow-up single, “Please, Please, Please,” has already made waves, securing the UK number 1 spot for five weeks.

After a six-year hiatus, the iconic local lads done good are unleashing a brand new album, ‘The Forest Is The Path,’ via Polydor Records. Co-produced by the legendary Fraser T Smith known for his work with Adele and Stormzy, this eagerly awaited album showcases the trio of Gary Lightbody, Nathan Connolly, and Johnny McDaid.

Kicking off the excitement, the band has released their first single, ‘The Beginning,’ written during a reflective trip to Somerset. With lyrics revealing a deep introspection about love from a distance, this track encapsulates the essence of the album—a poignant exploration of memories and relationships. Gary notes the profound nature of writing and recording the song in a single take, adding to its raw authenticity. With twelve tracks and a blend of fresh sounds, ‘The Forest Is The Path’ promises to be a gripping listen.

Nelly Furtado - 7 - 20th Sept - A Personal and Joyous Return to Music!

Grammy Award-winning global superstar Nelly Furtado has officially announced her much-anticipated new album, “7”! This collection marks her most inspired and personal work yet, born from 4 years of self-discovery and artistic expansion. After focusing on motherhood, Furtado felt the magnetic urge to return to her musical roots. “I heard the calling!” she declared, as she witnessed a resurgence of her music among Gen Z fans.

During her artistic journey, Furtado penned an impressive 400 songs, collaborating with talented artists across the globe. The first single, “Corazón,” featuring the vibrant Bomba Estéreo, showcases her renewed passion and unique sound. Crafted amidst the Colombian backdrop, this celebratory pop anthem, co-produced by Furtado and T-Minus, blends empowering lyrics and eclectic melodies, creating a track that captivates audiences worldwide.

Following the hit “Love Bites”, which racked up over 13 million streams, Furtado continues to thrive in her musical renaissance. With 1.5 billion streams in 2023 alone, she has firmly reestablished herself as an icon of millennium pop, delighting fans with unforgettable performances at events like Coachella, Fan Fest EURO 2024 and one I was lucky enough to experience Mighty Hoopla in June of this year.
