Pop bops ‘Bon Appetit,’ ‘Swish Swish,’ and ‘Chained to the Rhythm’ may be linked to Katy Perry‘s worst performing LP to date – 2017’s ‘Witness’ – but that certainly hasn’t stopped the songstress from supporting the ill-fated project.

Beyond an accompanying tour and sharing multiple singles beyond its first superstar-assisted trio of releases, Perry, in an ode to the 1-year anniversary of the plexiglass-certified set, has unveiled its deluxe edition is now available for streaming on Spotify and Apple Music.  Now, #KatyCats can enjoy the likes of “Dance With The Devil,” “Act My Age,” “Mind Maze,” and “Déjà Vu”  on major streaming platforms.

As if that’s not enough, the Grammy-nominee took to her official Youtube page to show off some behind the scenes studio magic of some of the songs’ creation (namely ‘Power’).  Look inside to watch it, stream the deluxe edition of ‘Witness,’ and more:

Ariana Grande showcases her blonde ambition a-front of British Vogue. 

The vocal wonder is gearing up for the release of her fourth studio album ‘Sweetener’ this August and is working her way across the promotional circuit to signal its imminent arrival.

Beyond her refreshed aesthetic, the 24-year-old is reportedly angling for a more experimental sound this go round. And to aid that cause, she’s drafted in Pharrell Williams while keeping Max Martin aboard to helm the more expected Pop bops.

Bobby Brown‘s broken his silence on the controversial album cover artwork of Pusha T‘s ‘Daytona’ which features a drug-laden bathroom believed to have been that of pop icon Whitney Houston‘s.

T ultimately distanced himself from the matter after claiming Kanye West (who also acts as a musical contributor on the project) is the culprit behind purchasing the rights to the photo.  With the focus shifted, the ‘I Will Always Love You’ singer’s family members (namely her cousin) weighed in on the ‘Heartless’ rapper by labelling him and the act ‘absolutely disgusting.’

In a recent interview, Brown echoed the sentiment:

“That’s really disgusting that he would do that,” Brown said. “That’s in really bad taste.”

He didn’t stop there, however.  Look inside to read the harsh words he had for the ‘G.O.O.D.’ creator:

Christina Aguilera is flying up the iTunes charts with new single ‘Fall In Line’ – which at writing sits at #3 on the US store.

The Demi Lovato collaboration, which serves as the official lead single from Xtina’s 8th album ‘Liberation,’ was gifted a streaming boost moments ago – courtesy of Carpool Karaoke. 

See, when the diva saddled up for the popular segment several weeks ago, many scratched their heads as to why her was so short compared to others.

Well, as it turns out, the performance of ‘Fall In Line’ was omitted and saved for after its formal premiere.

Will the move, which is somewhat of a first for ‘Carpool,’ prove a smart one for Aguilera? Given her soaring performance, we feel so!
