Check out The Weeknd!

The Pop force delivers dapper on the cover of Interview Magazine.

Riding high off the success of his ‘After Hours Til Dawn Tour,’ the chart-topper is set to take center stage like never before in the new HBO series ‘The Idol.’

Starring along Lily-Rose Depp, the ‘Starboy’ belter plays an eccentric self-help guru who becomes entangled with a Pop star hopeful.

With the show set to premiere at the 76th Cannes Film Festival in May, Abel sat down with the publication to spill on the show and his character.

Jesy Nelson is back and aiming to blaze with her new single ‘Bad Things.’

The haunting track is the first the former Little Mix starlet has released since polarizing launch offering ‘Boyz’ arrived in October 2021.

Wasting no time lighting a match under the track, the 31-year-old has paired the cut with a cinematic visual inspired by notorious gangsters, The Kray Twins.

Thematically, both the song and its accompanying visual see Nelson muse on magnetizing the wrong type of man.

Although K. Michelle is putting the finishing touches on her sixth and final R&B album, ‘I’m the Problem,’ the singer-songwriter has the solution for impatient fans (affectionately called #Rebels) itching for a taste of her offerings in other genres.

As has been widely reported, Michelle is set to follow ‘Problem’ with her inaugural foray into Country.

And while there’s no tentative release date on that project yet, the 41-year-old is whetting appetites as a feature on rising star Justin Champagne‘s latest hit, ‘Country Love Song.’

“You’re the one that I’m feelin/ I won’t ever let you go, I just think you need to know/ I don’t even need a reason/ Give u whatever you want, when you call imma come runnin/ I’ll keep our little secret,” she sings on the sizzling track.

If winning their inaugural GRAMMYs together and making Billboard history with their duet, ‘Kiss Me More,’ is proof, Doja Cat and SZA are formidable forces apart and even more so collaboratively.

Hopes to underscore that point came Friday (April 14) courtesy of a reunion via the surprise remix to the latter’s blockbuster hit, ‘Kill Bill.’

The tune’s original incarnation, found aboard SZA’s top-selling sophomore album ‘SOS,’ was recently certified triple Platinum for sales of 3 million in the United States and has been a mainstay in the Hot 100’s top 5 since its January 13 release.

Could the Doja-assisted revamp be just what’s needed to finally get it to #1 on the hitlist? Hop inside to hear it and tell us.

Tapping the two rising femcees for the song’s official remix, the trio of fiery females push the women’s empowerment anthem to the next level with their refreshed takes and an updated music video.

With the May 5 release date of Ed Sheeran‘s forthcoming fifth studio album, ‘Subtract,’ looming, the GRAMMY-winning music superstar is pressing some serious gas on its promotion.

As the set’s lead single, ‘Eyes Closed,’ is off to a modest start on the Hot 100 (dropping to #39 on this week’s chart after premiering at #24 last week), Sheeran is undoubtedly hoping to get more eyes on the Aaron Dessner-produced tune.

The latest endeavor in that stead comes courtesy of the reveal of an acoustic version performed live at New York’s historic Kings Theatre as part of a sold-out, intimate show that saw him not only perform multiple cuts from the ‘Subtract’ album but also croon fan favorites like ‘Perfect,’ ‘Bad Habits,’ and more on Monday (April 10).

Hot on the promo trail in support of his ‘Daily Cannon’ morning show on Amazon’s live radio app Amp, the 42-year-old dished on that venture as well as his personal life – a conversation that took the father of 12 down a path of discussing if more children are in his future.

Look inside to hear his thoughts on that matter and find out how newly-single Pop diva Taylor Swift found her name in the mix of it.
