Lorde continues to deliver new music.

This time around, the ‘Green Light’ singer has shared an EP called ‘Te Ao Mārama.’

The set consists of five new songs from her recently released ‘Solar Power’ album. However, there is a twist. The tracks are sung in Māori, the indigenous language of New Zealand.

In a statement about the project, she said:

“Many things revealed themselves slowly to me while I was making this album, but the main realisation by far was that much of my value system around caring for and listening to the natural world comes from traditional Māori principles.”

All proceeds from the project will go to charities.

Marvel fans rejoice!

To coincide with the highly anticipated, September 3 release of the film ‘Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,’ Interscope Records has launched its official soundtrack.

A star-studded affair, the 18-track companion album is surprisingly Urban driven as it features the likes of Saweetie, Swae Lee, Jhene Aiko, Rick Ross, 21 Savage, Anderson. Paak, and more.

“The music on this album is the beating heart of our film.  As we were editing Shang-Chi, we were constantly inspired by the early recordings coming in from these incredible musicians. When I first spoke to Sean about the idea for this album, we knew we wanted it to stand alone as a piece of work, but also be wrapped in the themes of our movie… themes of family, legacy, pain and healing. We also just wanted to make a really great album that gives us all another reason to celebrate. I couldn’t be more excited to share this music and these artists with the world.”

Shawn Mendes may have missed the top 40 with the debut of his latest single, the dreamy ‘Summer of Love’ (which premiered this week at #48 on the Hot 100), but the Canadian heartthrob is still moving full speed ahead with its promotion.

“I hope this song makes people feel free, free from the weight of life, even if just for a moment,” Mendes said of the song in a statement. “The inspiration was getting a few months off to have a real summer with the people I love. My favorite part about creating it was getting the opportunity to work in the studio with Tainy. It was a special experience connecting with him since he’s such an incredible artist and amazing producer.”

In addition to a hitting up iHeartRadio, SiriusXM, and more over the past two weeks, Mendes has unveiled a behind the scenes look at the creation of the tune’s Tainy-assisted music video.

Filmed in Mallorca, Spain, look inside to see how the magic of Shawn’s Matty Peacock-directed ode to summer came to be.
