Kesha is hoping to ride to the top of Pop charts with her fourth studio effort, ‘High Road.’

Released courtesy of Kemosabe/RCA Records, the 16-track album – which was preceded by “Raising Hell” (featuring Big Freedia), “My Own Dance,” “Resentment” (featuring Brian Wilson, Sturgill Simpson, and Wrabel) and “Tonight” – hit digital shelves on January 31.

Battling the likes of Meghan Trainor, Lil Wayne, and more for Billboard 200’s top spot, ‘High Road’ – which follows 2017’s chart-topping ‘Rainbow’ – comes as a return to form for the Pop singer whose biggest hits were tinged with EDM.

Luke James sprung a surprise on fans this week with the release of sophomore album ‘to feel love/d.’

The 9-track LP, which arrived somewhat unannounced, is the follow-up to the soulful belter’s self-titled first offering – which landed in 2014.

Speaking in a recent interview, the Grammy nominee says he sees this as more of a debut than his actual debut:

“I didn’t enjoy the first album. It’s not an album I wanted to put out, so it’s not my album.

This is all me. This writing it from top to bottom. This is what I wanna do. This is music I actually like, actually love of myself, actually feel. I’m in a place of only doing what I love to do, from here on out.”

A re-introduction to Luke James awaits after the jump…

Songbird K. Michelle has hatched ‘All Monsters Are Human’ – her fifth studio album.

Released independently via her own imprint No Color No Sound Records (in partnership with eOne), the set serves as K’s first indie offering and her first LP since 2017’s ‘Kimberly: The People I Used To Know.’

Comprised of 13 songs, the project is led by singles ‘Supahood’ and ‘The Rain’ – the latter of which has been faring especially well on the Urban Adult Contemporary format.

In true K form, the album boasts a number of quirkily titled cuts such as ‘Ciara’s Prayer’ and ‘Just Like Jay.’

Does the material itself deliver, though? We feel so. Take a listen below and let us know what you think…

Fleur East is blazing a trail as an indie act and is wasting no time kicking off 2020 in style.

The X Factor alum has unwrapped new single ‘Lucky,’ which arrives alongside news of sophomore album ‘Fearless’ and its like-titled UK trek ‘Flear East: The Fearless Experience.’

Co-written by East and produced Okan, the performer said of the release:

“I’m really excited for people to hear Lucky. It’s such an uplifting, feel good song with a positive message. It’s all about being grateful for the blessings you have in your life, and understanding that everything worth having is hard work. You may assume it’s just “luck” but there’s a lot more to it. I want everyone to celebrate everything they are thankful for, and take a second to reflect on what you’ve achieved. I love the percussion on the track and the bass line really makes you want to dance.”
