Having announced her 16th studio album, ‘Tension,’ all the way back in May, Australian Pop royal Kylie Minogue had her global fans – affectionately called #Lovers – feeling the LP’s namesake in anticipation of the project.

“Unlike my last two albums, there wasn’t a ‘theme’, it was about finding the heart or the fun or the fantasy of that moment and always trying to service the song,” Minogue said of the opus which marks her first studio effort since 2020’s ‘Disco.’

Blasting into public consciousness with the “song of the summer” ‘Padam Padam,’ the ElectoPop-laden set – later supported by a stunning music video for its title track – does not boast a high guest performer count across its 11 tracks (only Oliver Heldens on ’10 Out of 10′), but the true star power may be found across its production credits thanks to names like Duck Blackwell, Biff Stannard, Jackson Foote, and Lostboy.

Arriving alongside its deluxe edition (which boasts three additional tracks), stream it in full inside courtesy of Apple Music and Spotify.

Aged just 25 years old, the rising actor was beloved by many and was deemed to have a bright future ahead of him.

Tinashe is in a zen space.

So much so that she’s fine to extinguish her fiery feud with Chris Brown.

As reported, the oft-controversial performer poured fuel on the rift with ‘Nashe following remarks she made about their 2015 debut ‘Player’ during a recent interview.

Housed in a corner of the chat that saw the songbird dish on the lack of control she had in her earlier career, the segment was interpreted by some as Tinashe relaying regret for working with Brown.

Suffice it to say, C. Breezy didn’t take well to the comments and lambasted his former collaborator, asking fans to “name 5 Tinashe songs.”

Now, Tinashe – who recently released her new album ‘BB/ANG3L’ – unpacked her response.

Nearly 4 years separate Jason Derulo fans from his last body of work, the ‘2Sides (Side 1)‘ EP, but a consistent release of singles over 2023 suggests the wait for a new project may be coming to close.

Having unleashed ‘Slow Low,’ Body Count,’ ‘Glad U Came,’ ‘When Love Sucks,’ and more over just the last few months (as we reported here), Derulo continues the string of drops by revamping ‘Low’ with a special guest: Mexican singer-songwriter Yng Lvcas.

Putting a Latin spin on the uniquely tempoed cut, the tune comes shortly after Derulo delivered ‘Running (All the Things She Said)’ which interpolates part of the 2002 hit ‘All The Things She Said’ (performed by Russian duo t.A.T.u.).
