Sienna Spiro just made the most anticipated soundtrack of the year her own. The ascendant U.K. singer-songwriter contributes “Material Lover,” written exclusively for The Devil Wears Prada 2, out today via Interscope Records alongside the film’s wide theatrical release. It’s a major moment for one of the most exciting voices to emerge in years, and she absolutely earns her spot on this lineup.
“Material Lover” sits at track four on the 13-song set, sharing real estate with three original Lady Gaga compositions, including the buzzing “RUNWAY” with Doechii, plus exclusives and favorites from Miley Cyrus, Dua Lipa, SZA, Laufey, Olivia Dean, RAYE, and more. That’s a stacked room, and Spiro holds her own completely.
The video is out now. Co-directed by Spiro and Ivy Tellin and shot at the legendary Electric Lady Studio in New York City, the clip brings the song’s world to life with the kind of visual confidence that matches everything Spiro has been building toward. It’s sharp, assured, and worth every second.
This placement makes perfect sense for where Spiro is right now. She’s landed each of her last three heart-wrenching ballads on the Billboard Hot 100, including Top 20 hit “Die On This Hill,” and just wrapped a sold-out U.S. headlining tour that left critics and crowds stunned. “Material Lover” is the kind of song that turns casual listeners into devoted fans, and the film’s profile guarantees millions of new ears.
The film itself is one of the biggest releases of 2026. The first full trailer pulled 222 million views in its first 24 hours, becoming 20th Century Studios’ most viewed trailer of all time. Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci return alongside director David Frankel and writer Aline Brosh McKenna, with new cast members including Kenneth Branagh, Simone Ashley, Justin Theroux, and Lucy Liu rounding out an already formidable ensemble.
“Material Lover” is out now. The soundtrack is streaming everywhere. The film is in theaters today.
The Devil Wears Prada 2: Music From The Motion Picture Tracklist:
“Shape of a Woman” – Lady Gaga
“RUNWAY” – Lady Gaga & Doechii
“Glamorous Life” – Lady Gaga
“Material Lover” – Sienna Spiro
“End of an Era” – Dua Lipa
“Walk of Fame (Edit)” – Miley Cyrus feat. Brittany Howard
Tori Amos has never made a safe album, and her 18th studio record, ‘In Times of Dragons,’ out now via Universal/Fontana, isn’t about to break that streak. The 12 million-selling singer-songwriter delivers an ambitious allegorical story about power, resistance, and transformation, arriving at a moment when those themes couldn’t feel more urgent or alive.
At the center of the record is a fictionalized version of Amos herself, trapped in a marriage to a dangerous billionaire before embarking on a journey across America in search of freedom. It’s mythic storytelling grounded in the political reality of right now, and Amos pulls it off with the kind of commitment that only comes from an artist who’s been doing this for over 35 years and still has things worth saying.
She’s not shy about what drove the project. “This is a metaphorical story about the fight for democracy over tyranny,” Amos explains. “We really don’t know how this American experiment of democracy is going to end up. I’m a pragmatist. I’m not an optimist. I’m not a fatalist. But as a songwriter I needed to hear the clarion call and just say, to quote her beloved 1994 song ‘Cornflake Girl,’ this is not really happening? You bet your life it is.”
The album opens with the ominous piano chords of “Shush,” where the protagonist first recognizes the danger surrounding her. From there, the story builds, track by track, as she begins her transformation into the dragon she’ll need to become. The title track marks the moment she leaves that life behind, capturing the shock, uncertainty, and hard-won determination of that first step into the unknown.
The record also makes room for generational reflection. Amos’s daughter Natashya Hawley co-writes and sings on several tracks, including “Veins,” a call-and-response between mother and daughter interrogating what emotional and moral inheritance gets passed down. It’s one of the album’s most striking moments, personal and political all at once.
‘In Times of Dragons’ lands as one of the strongest statements of Amos’s career. Urgent, unsettling, and deeply human, it’s the kind of record that earns every comparison critics are already reaching for.
Amos is supporting the album with her largest European tour in over a decade, spanning 17 countries. She’s joined on the road by longtime collaborator, bassist and MD Jon Evans, renowned drummer Earl Harvin, and a trio of backing vocalists, Liv Gibson, Deni Hlavinka, and Hadley Kennary, performing new material alongside highlights from her celebrated catalog.
Jessie Reyez and Muni Long Team Up for the R&B Collab “Ain’t U Tired?” You Needed
TAGS: Jessie Reyez, Muni Long, Stormzy, Ari Lennox, Big Sean, Miguel, Lil Yachty, 6LACK, Lil Wayne, Deyaz,
Jessie Reyez has never needed permission to make something extraordinary, and “Ain’t U Tired?” proves it all over again. Out now via FMLY/Island Records, the new single pairs the Grammy-nominated, 6x Juno-winning Toronto singer-songwriter with Grammy-winning powerhouse Muni Long, and the result is exactly what two artists at the height of their craft sound like when they’re locked in completely.
The track is a love song with weight behind it, built on lush, lilting piano melodies and carried by two voices that couldn’t be more distinct or more perfectly matched. Reyez and Long urge someone to stop fighting what was always inevitable, and the warmth they bring to every run and turn makes the case effortlessly. It lands like something you’ve been waiting to hear without knowing it.
The visual is just as compelling. Shot among palm trees and dappled shade, with sandy swings and a camper van adding to the scene, the clip carries the same dreamy, intimate energy as the song itself. It’s an island escape that feels genuine rather than staged, matching the track’s mood without overselling it.
“Ain’t U Tired?” follows “N.Y.F.F.,” last month’s sharp, rap-sung kiss-off to a lying ex that reminded everyone why Reyez’s raw precision hits so close to home. Before that, she dropped the $TILL PAID EP in March, a five-track victory lap celebrating one year of her critically acclaimed 2025 album PAID IN MEMORIES, featuring a remix with BRIT Award-winning rapper Stormzy.
PAID IN MEMORIES is the foundation this current chapter is built on. Spanning over 20 tracks with collaborators including Ari Lennox, Big Sean, Miguel, Lil Yachty, 6LACK, Lil Wayne, and Deyaz, the album showcased Reyez’s wide vocal range and her ability to blend genres while exploring resilience, love, and personal healing. Standouts like “GOLIATH,” “PSILOCYBIN & DAISIES,” and viral fan favorite “CULDN’T B ME” cemented her continued evolution as one of the most respected songwriter-artists working today.
Reyez also completed a massive sold-out PAID IN MEMORIES headline world tour in 2025, and released Words of A Goat Princess II: The People’s Purge, the second volume in her USA Today Best-Selling poetry series. The work ethic is relentless, and the output speaks for itself.
“Ain’t U Tired?” is out now. Stream it, watch it, and catch up on everything Reyez has been building.
Kacey Musgraves moves forward with a record rooted in reflection and wide-open sound.
Her sixth studio album ‘Middle of Nowhere’ is out now, produced with longtime collaborators Daniel Tashian and Ian Fitchuk. The project draws directly from her Texas upbringing, weaving traditional country textures into a broader sonic palette that reaches across genres.
The album builds through detail and atmosphere. Pedal steel, accordion, and dancehall rhythms shape the foundation, while Musgraves reshapes those elements into something distinctly her own. The result carries warmth, character, and a strong sense of place.
Singles “Dry Spell,” “Middle of Nowhere,” and “Loneliest Girl” lead the release. The video for “Dry Spell,” co-directed by Musgraves and Hannah Lux Davis, adds a sharp, self-aware visual layer that matches the tone of the track.
The tracklist features a deep bench of collaborators. Willie Nelson, Miranda Lambert, Billy Strings, and Gregory Alan Isakov each contribute, reinforcing the album’s connection to both tradition and forward movement.
“The bulk of this record was made during the longest single period of my life,” Musgraves says. “I became fascinated with the concept of liminal space, both geographical and emotional.”
To mark the release, Musgraves plays a special run at Gruene Hall in Texas, bringing the album into a historic room tied closely to its roots.
She also heads out on the “Middle of Nowhere” arena tour, a wide-reaching run that hits major markets across North America, including Chicago, Toronto, New York, Nashville, Los Angeles, and Seattle.
The album lands with depth and personality. ‘Middle of Nowhere’ stands as another strong entry in Musgraves’ catalog, expanding her sound while staying grounded in her core influences.

A heavy new voice rises from the American South with no interest in playing it safe.
Broadslab deliver their full-length album ‘The Fifth Essence’ on June 26, pushing forward a sound they call Hellacious Soul Metal. It’s a raw fusion of Southern groove, psychedelic weight, and straight-ahead heavy metal drive. Pre-save it here.
The rollout is already underway. Lead single “Keep on Rollin’” is out now, with “Leslie” arriving May 22. Both tracks hit with grit and force, laying down the band’s identity with zero hesitation.
Broadslab lean into deep roots. Their sound pulls from classic rock traditions while pushing into darker, heavier territory. Thick riffs meet swampy rhythm, creating something that feels lived-in and unfiltered.
Their name carries history. Drawn from a region tied to moonshine culture, Broadslab channel that outlaw energy into every track. The music moves with stories of backroads, late nights, and a lifestyle that runs outside the lines.
The album was recorded and mixed by Mike Dean, with production handled by the band alongside Dean. The approach keeps everything direct. No gloss, no overproduction, just heavy, grounded sound that hits hard.
North Carolina promoter Tony Leonard puts it plainly: “If the Allman Brothers, Black Sabbath and Captain Beyond had a threesome, Broadslab would be the dirty result.” It’s a description that matches the band’s weight and attitude.
This release lands with impact. ‘The Fifth Essence’ holds together as a full statement, packed with groove, pressure, and a clear sense of identity. Broadslab are moving forward with force, carving out space on their own terms.
Chicago’s end-of-summer soundtrack locks into place with the return of Summer’s Last Dance.
The independent festival is back for its third year on September 19, with tickets on sale now. Built from the ground up by promoter Bobby De Maria, the one-day event has quickly carved out space as a defining sendoff to the season.
Summer’s Last Dance moves with a clear identity. It brings together electronic, hip-hop, and house under one banner, reflecting the city’s deep and diverse music culture. Past lineups have featured names like Destructo, The Knocks, Slushii, and Chicago pioneer Marshall Jefferson, alongside global acts like Cheat Codes and KSHMR.
That cross-genre approach continues to drive the festival forward. Each edition pulls from different corners of the scene while keeping the focus on energy, connection, and a shared experience across audiences.
Tickets start at $24, opening the door to a wide range of fans. The accessibility is intentional, keeping the event grounded in community while still delivering a full-scale festival atmosphere.
The festival also carries a deeper connection beyond the stage. Summer’s Last Dance once again partners with the Miracle Michael Fund, supporting families affected by Osteogenesis Imperfecta, also known as brittle bone disease. A portion of every ticket and sponsor dollar goes directly toward support and research.
“Summer’s Last Dance is all about bringing people together for one final sendoff to Summer, but it’s also about showing up for something bigger than ourselves,” says De Maria. “That’s been part of the mission from day one, and it’s why we’re thrilled to partner with Miracle Michael again this year.”
Now in its third year, the festival continues to stand as one of Chicago’s last independently operated major music events. It delivers a more intimate, community-driven experience without losing scale.
The 2026 lineup arrives May 27, adding the next chapter to a festival that’s building momentum with each edition.
The Black Keys just pushed their gritty aesthetic into a new gear with the arrival of ‘Peaches!’ today. This collection hits the streets via Easy Eye Sound as a raw look at where Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney stand today. Alongside the record, they’ve debuted a music video for “She Does It Right.” You can watch it now to see the duo performing outside Memphis’s iconic Hernando’s Hideaway. It’s an immediate signal of where they’re heading creatively.
Energy is already high for this project. The lead single “You Got To Lose” held the top spot at Canadian Active Rock Radio for four straight weeks. It joins “Where There’s Smoke, There’s Fire” as an immediate staple in their massive catalog. These tracks prove that their knack for gritty, infectious blues rock remains untouched after two decades. The album lands with a raw urgency that highlights their ability to turn grit into essential rock.
This record feels more natural than anything they’ve done since their 2002 debut. It grew out of a heavy personal period for Auerbach during his father’s illness. Carney stepped in to ensure his lifelong friend had a creative outlet in the studio. They cranked the amps and tapped into something purely instinctive. It’s a 10-song set that prioritizes feeling over perfection.
Their obsessive record-collecting habit fueled the sound of ‘Peaches!’. The duo spent time digging for 45s to play at their famous Record Hang DJ parties. Some of those discoveries turned into the foundations for these new tracks. You can hear that archival energy in the jagged riffs and pummeling drum fills. It’s a deep dive into the musical archaeology that keeps them inspired.
The visual identity of the album keeps things in the family and the history books. Iconic photographer William Eggleston provided the cover art, following his work on ‘Delta Kream’. Michael Carney handled the art direction, returning to the style of their early Grammy-winning releases. This aesthetic choice mirrors the raw, unrefined spirit found inside the music.
The “PEACHES ‘N KREAM WORLD TOUR” is currently moving through North America. They’ve debuted a brand new live lineup that breathes fresh air into early favorites like “Busted.” Fans are seeing jammed-out versions of classic hits alongside the new material. Demand is so high that they’ve added a third show at the British Airways ARC in London this September.
They’re currently taking over New Orleans for Jazz Fest. After headlining the Gentilly Stage tonight, they’ll host a late-night Record Hang at Toulouse Theatre. It follows a special warm-up show at Red’s Lounge in Mississippi where they played with blues legends yesterday. This band lives for the stage and the deep history of the music they play.

“Where There’s Smoke, There’s Fire”

Lizzo just redefined the pop landscape with the arrival of “Bitch.” This title track lands as a heavy-hitting preview of her third studio album (also titled ‘Bitch’) arriving June 5, 2026. It’s a massive statement from a performer who’s already secured her place in the history books. She’s not just making music, she’s steering the entire cultural conversation.
The production team features heavyweights Ricky Reed, Blake Slatkin, and Zack Sekoff. They’ve crafted a sound that interpolates the Meredith Brooks classic while keeping it firmly in Lizzo’s signature wheelhouse. This track carries a relentless infectious energy that proves exactly why she dominates the global charts. It’s a sharp, polished anthem that feels instantly essential.
Accompanying the song is a striking new visual directed by child. It features the superstar and her entourage as circus performers, adding a high-concept layer to the release. This follows the momentum of her previous single “Don’t Make Me Love U” which arrived last month. That track already established the tone for this new era of reflection and growth.
Her recent live run confirms the massive demand for her presence on stage. She recently wrapped 12 sold-out performances at the Blue Note Jazz Club in both Los Angeles and New York. This intimate series preceded a staggering show at the Houston Rodeo where she played to over 70,000 fans. She remains one of the most versatile and engaging performers working today.
The expansion of her brand continues with a first ever children’s book titled ‘Lil Lizzo Meets Sasha B. Flootin’’. It hits shelves on September 8, 2026, through Simon & Schuster. On top of the literary launch, she’s stepping into a massive film role as Sister Rosetta Tharpe. The movie (titled “Rosetta”) comes from Amazon MGM Studios and further cements her status as a multi-threat powerhouse.
Chico’s delivered a jolt to the system with the arrival of “Too Late.” This release through New Morality Zine marks a significant shift for the California quintet. They’ve moved from their early college-era sounds into a space of high-intensity alternative rock. It’s a track that demands your full attention from the very first second.
The music runs for less than two minutes. This is a concentrated burst of punk energy and melodic aggression. Blistering guitars collide with a vocal performance that moves from raw power to a bluesy growl. You’ll find no wasted notes here.
Drummer Tony Rangel wrote the lyrics during a period of financial hardship. It’s a blunt examination of a system that keeps people in a cycle of repetitive labor. The line about throwing away your brain hits hard for anyone working through the daily grind. It’s a completely honest reflection on the reality of the modern workforce.
Rangel also directed the visual for the track (which you can stream now). It uses VHS footage to create a nostalgic aesthetic that eventually shifts into a surreal trip. The video matches the frantic pace of the music perfectly. It captures the energy of a group that’s hitting a new creative peak.
The road beckons immediately for this group. They’ve scheduled a West Coast run this month with Dreamcast and Free Concern. Later this year they join Death Lens for a series of dates across Texas and California. These shows promise to be high-energy affairs based on the speed of the new material.
The rhythm section provides a jagged foundation that keeps the energy levels high. It’s an impressive display of technical skill paired with raw emotion. They’re making music that feels necessary right now. This is a call to pay attention to one of the most exciting groups in the scene.
Cody Johnson commands the spotlight with the release of “Hello Lonesome” today. It’s the second offering from his upcoming collection ‘Banks Of The Trinity’ which arrives June 26, 2026. This track follows the massive success of his 2024 CMA Album of the Year ‘Leather’. He’s moving with a level of momentum that defines the current country landscape. Listen here.
The songwriting muscle on this track comes from Jimmy Yeary, Seth Mosley, and Matt Roger. It’s a heavy hitting combination that fits perfectly with his rugged vocal delivery. With 10 billion global streams already in the books, he’s found a sound that resonates on a massive scale. His current single “The Fall” holds a firm spot in the Top 5 this week.
The live energy matches the intensity of the studio recordings. He joins George Strait tomorrow at Memorial Stadium in Clemson for a historic in-the-round performance. This is the first concert at “Death Valley” since 1999. It’s a massive milestone that highlights his status as a top tier headliner in the game today.
Ticket demand is forcing his team to add more dates across the board. New shows are now on the calendar for Columbus, Jacksonville, and Oklahoma City to keep up with the rush. He’s coming off a year where he moved 400,000 tickets globally (including two sold-out nights at Bridgestone Arena). People want the real thing, and he’s delivering it every night.
Industry recognition continues to pile up for the Texas native. He heads into the 61st Academy of Country Music Awards with four nominations, including Entertainer of the Year and Male Artist of the Year. The ceremony happens May 17, 2026, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. It’s another chance to see one of the genre’s best vocalists take center stage.
“Hello Lonesome” hits with a melodic weight and traditional grit that feels immediately essential. It’s a standout performance that confirms his place at the top of the industry.
