Grammy Award-winning R&B singer and songwriter Ella Mai is back with the release of her new single “Tell Her,” available now on all streaming platforms via 10 Summers Records. The song marks her first release since her 2024 EP 3, signaling the beginning of an exciting new chapter and follows the success of fan-favorite “Little Things,” one of her most-streamed songs to date.
Produced by Mustard, “Tell Her” pairs Ella’s soulful delivery with a smooth, bouncy beat that feels classic and new. At her most confident and direct, she explores the complexities of love in the modern age, navigating trust, loyalty, and clarity in relationships. Both vulnerable and assertive, the song reflects the perspective of a woman who values honesty and emotional clarity, reminding everyone that real love requires openness and consistency.
Mai has celebrated love in all its forms, and “Tell Her” continues that legacy. It’s a song about setting boundaries while still holding space for compassion, reflecting her growth as a woman and artist who understands that love is both tender and firm. As she enters this next era, the single reaffirms her place as one of R&B’s most authentic voices, an artist who loves love, and whose music continues to resonate because of it.
The Cattle Country Music Festival will return to the historic town of Gonzales, Texas, for its third year on Friday, April 10th, Saturday, April 11th, and Sunday, April 12, 2026.
The second iteration of the country music and camping festival earlier this year featured a stellar lineup, headlined by Parker McCollum, Nickelback, Tanya Tucker, and Clint Black, with support from more than 20 artists, including Midland, Wyatt Flores, Chase Rice, Gretchen Wilson, and more. The 2026 lineup will be announced in the coming months.
Playing host to the festival once again is the sprawling 400-acre ranch dubbed The Boot. Named after its unique boot-shaped landscape, the ranch stretches along approximately three miles of the Guadalupe River and is conveniently located just an hour from three major cities: Austin, San Antonio, and Houston. With more than 150 acres of Texas pecan trees creating shaded groves along the riverbank, The Boot provides a perfect natural backdrop for festival goers to relax and immerse themselves in the serene surroundings. Adding to its charm, The Boot offers several inviting swimming areas, aptly named Cowboy Coves, where attendees can cool off and enjoy the festival’s refreshing waterside experience.
Like in previous years, the festival will offer GA and VIP camping areas, plus tents in the luxurious Glamping Village with a private glamping lounge. RV spaces and on-site amenities will also be available for those staying on the grounds. Several new additions to the festival experience will be announced soon.
Following a summer of special performances around the world, as well as on Later… with Jools Holland this weekend and a record-breaking 6-night headline residency at London’s Royal Albert Hall this summer, the ground-breaking composer and pianist Ludovico Einaudi today releases a very special album that has been a long time in the making: ‘Einaudi vs Einaudi’.
Ludovico has collaborated with his son, the multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, producer, and arranger Leo Einaudi, for a rework of Ludovico’s latest chart-topping album ‘The Summer Portraits’.
Having composed from a very young age, Leo Einaudi has built a diverse career spanning songwriting, film composition, production and live music. Over the years, Leo has collaborated with Ludovico Einaudi numerous times, contributing to film scores and multidisciplinary projects across theatre as well as recorded music. This unique, long-standing creative partnership has now culminated in this new body of work, in which Leo remixes eight mesmerising tracks.
Ludovico explains, “For several years now, I have been engaged in a musical exchange with Leo, collaborating on various projects, films, and more. There has always been a strong understanding between us, and in addition to having a musical sensibility very close to mine, Leo possesses an artistic sensitivity that I perceive as deeply personal. This is why ‘Einaudi vs Einaudi’ offers a renewed perspective on my original versions, bringing a fresh interpretation to the pieces while preserving their spirit.”
Leo adds, “From the outset of our musical connection, working with my father has always been marked by a deep sense of complicity and a true symbiosis of ideas. What has always amazed me is how natural our collaboration felt. Reimagining his songs happened with that same ease — it became a journey of constant discovery through the endless details at the heart of his music. It allowed me to see new sides of it, to let those elements enter my own imagination, and to shape them into a new form — one that respects their essence while giving them a new life.”
The Summer Portraits, released at the beginning of this year (giving Ludovico his 13th No.1 in the Official UK Classical Album Chart), is the result of a cascade of personal memories triggered by sun, summer and family holidays. On ‘Einaudi vs Einaudi’ Leo Einaudi takes the lush sound and subtle electronica of tracks such as first single ‘Rose Bay’ and enhances it still. Here, driving rhythms penetrate the stillness of the original track, offering another side to the hypnotic piece and taking the immersive sound and textures to another place.
Today, Grammy-nominated R&B singer, songwriter, and producerFridayy released his new single “Below Zero.” The emotionally-charged track arrives just ahead of the European leg of his critically acclaimed Some Days I’m Good, Some Days I’m Not world tour, following the successful wrap of the North American leg.
A moody and introspective offering, “Below Zero” showcases Fridayy’s signature blend of soul-baring lyrics and atmospheric production. Known for seamlessly merging genres, Fridayy brings raw vulnerability and melodic depth to a track that feels like a fitting farewell to summer and a compelling prologue to what lies ahead in his next chapter. As summer winds down, Fridayy’s mellifluous voice captures the moodier shift in energy as we transition into the colder, cozier months
“‘Below Zero’ is about feeling numb after giving so much of yourself to people and situations that didn’t value you,” says Fridayy. “I wanted this song to reflect that emotional freeze, when your heart just shuts down. It’s real, it’s cold, and it’s honest.”
The release comes shortly after Fridayy received two nominations for the 2025 BET Awards in the categories of Best Male R&B/Pop Artist and the Dr. Bobby Jones Best Gospel/Inspirational Award for his powerful track “Better Days.”
Following the success of his debut album, a standout year of collaborations, and sold-out shows, Fridayy continues to establish himself as one of the most compelling voices in modern music.
Three-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated multiplatinum singer, songwriter, producer, and creator Fridayy explores emotional and sonic extremes in his music. Delivering anthems of celebration and intense introspection with the same gusto, he effortlessly switches lanes between hip-hop, R&B, gospel, pop, and Haitian stylings. Encouraged by his late father, he not only picked up piano, guitar, drums, trumpet, and bass as a kid, but he also honed his chops as part of a church choir. Learning production, he quietly grinded by sharing music online and building an audience as a teen. All of this experience prepared him for a major moment in 2022 when he appeared on DJ Khaled’s blockbuster “God Did” [feat. Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, John Legend, & Fridayy]. It cracked the Top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100, earned a Gold certification from the RIAA, and garnered three GRAMMY® Award nominations in the categories of “Song of the Year,” “Best Rap Song,” and “Best Rap Performance.” He lent his voice to Lil Baby’s Platinum-certified “Forever,” which vaulted into the Top 10 of the Hot 100. Fridayy’s Platinum-certified solo single “When It Comes To You” paved the way for his acclaimed 2023 self-titled debut, Fridayy. He emerged as the rare dynamo equally comfortable on a track with either Swedish House Mafia, DJ Snake, and The Chainsmokers or Will Smith, Glorilla, and Chlöe. Not to mention, he expanded his discography as a producer and songwriter collaborating behind-the-scenes with everyone from Lil Baby and Chris Brown to Lil Tjay and Rod Wave. In 2025, he makes a passionate, personal, and powerful statement on his epic double LP, Some Days I’m Good, Some Days I’m Not [Def Jam Recordings], which he helmed as the primary writer and producer as well.
Today, two-time GRAMMY Award-winning record-breaking global superstar Sabrina Carpenter releases her highly anticipated new album, Man’s Best Friend – listen here. In tandem with the album, Sabrina also unveils the official video for “Tears.” Directed by Bardia Zeinali, Colman Domingo stars in the music video alongside Sabrina.
Written by Sabrina and her frequent collaborators Amy Allen, Jack Antonoff & John Ryan, and also co-produced by Sabrina, Jack and John, Sabrina’s signature witty lyricism is on full display as she blends addictive pop melodies with clever and bold storytelling that makes every track feel like a newfound secret. Man’s Best Friend features 12 tracks, including the album’s certified platinum lead single, “Manchild,” which debuted directly at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. “Manchild” marked Sabrina’s second chart-topper, following last summer’s hit “Please Please Please,” and Island Records’ first No. 1 debut. The Hollywood Reporter raved, “The “Espresso” singer is back to take her summer song crown for the second year in a row with her infectiously catchy new single.” Since its release, the song’s critically acclaimed music video has amassed nearly 60 million views. “Carpenter radiates in feel-good disco energy” wrote Rolling Stone. Now, Sabrina closes out the summer with a pop album that is sure to be on repeat well into the new year.
Man’s Best Friend is Sabrina’s seventh studio album and follows her monumental album, Short n’ Sweet. Released last August, Short n’ Sweet topped the charts worldwide and had one of the biggest global debuts of 2024. All three singles off the album, “Espresso” (2.4 billion), “Please Please Please” (1.5 billion), and “Taste” (1.1 billion) entered the coveted Billions Club on Spotify. Short n’ Sweet sold 10 million albums globally.
Short n’ Sweet garnered Sabrina six GRAMMY nods as a first-time GRAMMY nominee and won two awards for her GRAMMY debut. Sabrina took home the “Best Pop Vocal Album” award for Short n’ Sweet along with “Best Pop Solo Performance” for the album’s lead single, “Espresso.” Following the GRAMMYs, Sabrina released Short n’ Sweet (Deluxe), which featured five additional songs, including a duet with global icon Dolly Parton on “Please Please Please” and “Busy Woman,” which Sabrina debuted live on her sold-out headlining arena tour.
Internationally, Sabrina shattered records by becoming the first female artist to hold the top three spots on the UK Singles Chart simultaneously with “Taste,” “Please Please Please,” and “Espresso.” She also set a new benchmark for most weeks at #1 in a single year by a female artist on the UK chart—totaling 21 weeks—and became the first international artist to receive the BRITs’ Global Success award. This past July, Sabrina headlined BST Hyde Park, where she performed “Manchild” live for the first time and brought out Duran Duran for a surprise rendition of “Hungry Like The Wolf.”
Next week, Sabrina will be making her highly anticipated return to the VMA stage. As a 14x nominee, she is up for eight awards this year including the night’s biggest award for Video of the Year for “Manchild” as well as Best Pop Artist, Best Album, Best Pop, Best Direction, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, and Best Visual Effects. Earlier this month, Sabrina returned to Lollapalooza as a headliner, drawing one of the largest crowds of the festival.
This fall, Sabrina will embark on the second sold-out North American leg of her highly praised Short n’ Sweet Tour. The tour kicks off on October 23rd in Pittsburgh and will stop at major arenas in New York, Nashville, Toronto, and Los Angeles. Sabrina will perform five nights at Madison Square Garden in New York and six nights at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, concluding on November 23rd. This second leg follows the massive success of the previous 33-date sold-out North American tour last November, as well as the sold-out European leg, which saw additional shows added in four cities due to overwhelming demand.

Rising global girl group GIRLSET is entering their next era with the release of their highly anticipated new single “Commas” alongside a brand-new choreography video.
“Commas” is a bold pop track that radiates confidence. The single is driven by a bouncy, electronic beat that showcases each member’s vocals. With an instantly memorable chorus, “Commas” locks in from the first listen and lingers long after. It’s GIRLSET’s declaration of identity after their recent introduction, and the sound and lyrics signal a new standard: more mature, self-defined, and creatively in control.
With the single comes a choreography video that turns “Commas” into a full experience: powerful visuals, slick choreography, and a bold new vibe that reflects GIRLSET’s growth. It’s a release that feels fully theirs, setting a new bar for what an international girl group can be.
R&B artist Jernade shares his heartfelt new single “Worst Behaviour”, available now on all major streaming platforms. Alongside the track out via Create Music Group, the official music video has been released on YouTube, bringing the emotion of the song to life through striking visuals and intimate storytelling.
Originally performed by Kwn and Kehlani, “Worst Behaviour” resonates with Jernade on a personal level. His rendition blends soulful melodies with an authentic delivery that highlights his connection to the track. “I’ve been a fan of KWN for a while, so when I first heard ‘Worst Behaviour,’ I was instantly drawn to it. The melodies really stuck with me—it’s honestly the kind of song I wish I wrote. We’re from the same town, so doing a cover and making a video felt like a personal way to show love and appreciation for a track that inspired me.”
The single continues Jernade’s #practicehours series, showcasing his passion for reimagining songs that inspire him, while building on the momentum of his releases such as “Right Here” and performing a headline show at SXSW London.
With a career that bridges music, fashion, and entrepreneurship, Jernade continues to prove himself as a multifaceted artist, delivering songs that connect deeply with his audience while carving his own path in the music industry and beyond.
Hayley Williams has officially released her new album, Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party out now, everywhere. Earlier this month, she dropped a surprise collection of 17 unsequenced singles. Fans took to social media, working up their own tracklistings and even creating hayleysingles.com, where thousands of fans were able to work up and share their preferred order just as Williams had hoped.
The final album is inspired by some of these fans’ playlists and includes one never-before-heard song, “Parachute,” which was just named Hottest Record on BBC Radio 1’s New Music Show for August 28th.
Fans can also pre-order the physical album today, out on November 7th. Black and “Zissou Clear-Wave” vinyl are available on Hayley’s webstore here and fans can find six additional vinyl colors (Highlighter Yellow, Marble Yellow, Orange Juice Splash, Crystal Clear, Grayscale Metallic Silver and Poolwater Wave) available at various retailers, including “Ego Gold Marble” vinyl available only at retailers in her home state of Tennessee. An extremely limited quantity of CD-R’s are available now for immediate shipping on her website, featuring her handwriting and evoking a mixtape from the early 2000’s. Only 1,500 are available on a first come first serve basis.
Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party was produced entirely by Daniel James. Williams wrote, played and recorded a variety of instruments across each of the 18 songs, with cross-project contributions from long-time collaborators Brian Robert Jones and Joey Howard, and contributions from Jim-E Stack on “True Believer,” which just earned Williams her first solo Billboard Alternative Sales #1. After 20+ years spent fulfilling their contract for Atlantic Records – a contract Williams signed as a mere teenager – Paramore announced in December of 2023 that they were finally an independent band. This surprise collection is self-released by Hayley Williams on her new venture Post Atlantic, distributed via Secretly Distribution.
In the previous two weeks, Williams has released music videos for the album’s title track, directed by Zachary Gray, and the single “Glum,” directed by her Paramore bandmate Zac Farro and AJ Gibboney. Watch both here: “Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party” and “Glum.”
