Sam Smith sprinkles a little sparkle onto the airwaves with new single ‘I Feel Love.’

The British belter bills their take on the Donna Summer track as “the highest I’ve ever sung.” But also went onto share a deeper reasoning for recording the track:

“As a queer person ‘I feel love’ has followed me to every dance floor in every queer space from the minute I started clubbing. This song to me is an anthem of our community and it was an honour and most importantly so much fun to have a go at it…”

‘I Feel Love’ follows ‘How Do You Sleep?’ and ‘Dancing With A Stranger,’ both of which are expected to appear on Smith’s upcoming third studio album.

It’s been over two decades since Mariah Carey first introduced her modern classic Christmas LP, ‘Merry Christmas.’  And, while the effort needs no reintroduction to new generations as its content has become a staple every holiday season since its arrival, the Pop icon’s repackaged the yuletide effort to commemorate its 25th anniversary.

Announced a month ago (as we reported here), the deluxe edition arrived today (November 1) and is a 2-disc affair stuffed with a 29-song tracklist that features the first incarnation’s slew of favorites, previously unreleased festive tunes, new remixes, and more.

Barring a few soundtrack and guest appearances on other artists’ music, Miguel has keep a pretty low profile since the top 10 debut of his 2017 album, ‘War & Leisure.’  However, the release of his new song – ‘Funeral’ – comes as a signal that’s soon to change.

“Send my regards to the mother and father/ ‘Cause somebody’s daughter I just f*cking slayed,” he croons in the chorus. “Blood on the carpet, it came from my heart/ Once I start, I can’t stop it, and now we are prey.”

The haunting tune, reminiscent of the dark Urban Pop delivered by The Weeknd‘s earlier efforts, was fittingly teased on Halloween and, a day later, is available for a full listen.  It awaits inside:

Dua Lipa has kicked off her sophomore campaign with new single ‘Don’t Start Now.’

The dancefloor jam arrives on the heels the singer’s breakthrough success – which was very much a global phenomenon and earned her a Best New Artist award at the Grammys and three BRIT Awards.

Speaking on the track, she explained:

“I chose to put this song out first so I could close one chapter of my life and start another. Into a new era with a new sound! It’s about moving on and not allowing anyone to get in the way of that. It also felt like a natural first song choice as I made it with the brilliant same crew I made ‘New Rules’ with.”

With its video due later today, Lipa has uniquely shared the full length song in visual format; one that also dubs as a preview for the Nabil directed video.

Matt Barnes, one of ‘Basketball Wives: Miami‘s first stars, has claimed the show’s producers (said to be led by Shaunie O’Neal) used dubious means to force his ex-wife Gloria Govan to remain on the show….even after she requested to leave to focus on raising her family.

Gloria and her sister Laura were invited to join the series to drive ratings because the latter was accused of bedding Shaunie’s husband Shaquille O’Neal. Ostracised by the infamous Miami group, the sisters were then sent to launch the successful  ‘Basketball Wives: Los Angeles’ which would go on to be colonised by Miami’s wives after their show was cancelled by VH1.

This week, Barnes has revealed why much of the show’s success came at the expense of his marriage and his ex-wife’s happiness.
