After much ado, Taylor Swift fans – affectionately called #Swifties – finally get their hands on her latest musical venture, ‘Fearless (Taylor’s Version).’

The inaugural retake in a series of re-recorded editions of her first six albums, the revamp comes as her answer to reports her master recordings were sold by music mogul Scooter Braun.

In addition to housing re-records of every song from her 2008 sophomore album, ‘Taylor’s Version’ also features tracks that were recorded for the LP’s platinum edition as well as other previously unheard music.

Now, the 26-track affair is available for your listening pleasure via Apple Music and Spotify.

It’s been over 3 years since Miguel released an English body of work, with his last studio effort coming courtesy of 2017’s Billboard 200 top 10 hit album, ‘War & Leisure.’

Fans in need of a Miggy fix were delighted to learn the GRAMMY winner announced the April 9 arrival of the fourth installment in his ‘Art Dealer Chic’ musical series – the long-awaited follow-up to 2012’s ‘Art Dealer Chic Vol. 3.’

Speaking on the new project, he revealed:

“I’ve been doing a lot of work to consider and refine my beliefs in the last few years,” Miguel wrote in an official statement announcing the new EP. “Inevitably, this brought me back to Art Dealer Chic, as ADC is more or less a moniker for active mindset curation; choosing the thoughts, emotions, and actions that reflect my truest self instead of letting what I’ve experienced or what is expected of me dictate my choices. As a basic operating system, this mentality has made a profound impact on my life and I want to continue to share how through the music and the conversation around ADC.”

Gwen Stefani‘s ‘Slow Clap’ has had a slow climb up charts (as of time reported) – a trajectory she’s looking to remedy with the tune’s bop of a remix.

Despite a promotional blitz to help maximize the tune’s exposure since it’s March 11 debut, ‘Clap’ hasn’t exactly been met with applause and fanfare on the Hot 100 as it’s yet to make a premiere appearance on the tally.

Tapping ‘Tap In’ star Saweetie to assist with its revamp, the ever-youthful Gwen takes her talents back to high school to render a colorful and energetic visual for ‘Slow’ that’s sure to quickly draw comparisons to her 2005 #1 hit, ‘Hollaback Girl.’
