It’s been years since Barbra Streisand released new music, but she chose a very special reason to come back. “Love Will Survive” marks her first new release since 2018, and it will serve as the end-title theme for Peacock’s mini-series The Tattooist of Auschwitz.

Streisand’s new song is a touching ode to survivors and victims of the Holocaust, and she recorded it alongside the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by William Ross.

“I wanted to sing ‘Love Will Survive’ in the context of this series, as a way of remembering the six million souls who were lost less than 80 years ago. And also to say that even in the darkest of times, the power of love can triumph and endure,” said Streisand in a statement.

Claire Mundell, one of the executive producers of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, said they’re deeply honored to be working with Streisand. She praised her for crafting the most beautiful song that perfectly sums up the key message of this series.

“Love Will Survive” marks Streisand’s first release of original material since her album Walls from 2018. Despite failing to reach the top ten on the Billboard 200 chart, it was nominated for the best traditional pop vocal album at the Grammy Awards.

The first Coachella weekend featured many surprise appearances, and Lana Del Rey welcomed one of the festival’s most exciting special guests on stage. Billie Eilish joined her for an emotional cover of her own breakout hit “Ocean Eyes”.

Del Rey is one of the artists headlining Coachella this year, and she had a perfect partner in crime during the festival’s opening night. Eilish joined her for a magical performance of her hit song “Ocean Eyes”, which came out in 2016 as a part of her debut EP Don’t Smile at Me.

Del Rey thanked Eilish for hitting the Coachella stage by her side, and described her as the voice of a generation, adding that “Ocean Eyes” is her favorite song by Eilish.

Eilish has been very vocal about her admiration for Del Rey long before joining her at Coachella. She interviewed her for Interview Magazine just last year and opened up about Del Rey’s impact on her music.

“You really paved the way for everyone. People have been trying to look and sound like you since you first started. I talk about this with Finneas [O’Connell]. You changed the way the music industry hears and sees music, and you changed the way people sing,” Eilish told Del Rey.

Bring Me the Horizon have been dropping hints about their new album for quite some time, and it seems they’re finally making it happen. They recently shared a teaser that features glimpses of their new album Post Human: Nex Gen and said that “it’s time for a new era.”

It’s been five years since the release of Bring Me the Horizon’s last studio album Amo in 2019, but they followed up its release with Post Human: Survival Horror. This is one of the four projects they wanted to release under the Post Human moniker, and Post Human: Nex Gen will serve as its spiritual successor.

The British band teased its release by sharing a video of a futuristic robot, which ends with a cryptic message – “It’s time for a new era. Initializing NeX GEn.”

“You cling to your virtual identity as if it were your very soul. Pathetic. I’m here to wipe away the detritus of your existence. All these thoughts, these memories, they are but a fleeting echo in an endless void. And just like that, you cease to exist in a digital realm,” says the robot in the video.

Post Human: Nex Gen still doesn’t have an official release date, after being pushed from August 2023 to this year. Bring Me the Horizon released several singles expected to be featured on this album, most recently “Darkside” and “Kool-Aid”.

Billie Eilish has been dropping hints about her third studio album for quite some time, and she finally made it official. The Grammy-winning artist announced her highly-anticipated new album Hit Me Hard and Soft ahead of its release next month.

Eilish came up with a pretty brilliant strategy to tease her new album before officially announcing its release. In addition to teasing its lyrics through a series of billboards around the world, she also added all of her Instagram followers to the “Close Friends” list as a part of the promo.

After weeks of anticipation, Eilish finally announced her third studio album will be titled Hit Me Hard and Soft, and it’s coming our way on May 17. The album’s cover shows the singer floating in deep blue water below a white door.

Eilish revealed she’s not planning to drop any singles ahead of the album’s release, saying “I wanna give it to you all at once.” She also recommended listening to the songs in chronological order because they’ll “[hit] you hard and soft both lyrically and sonically while bending genres and defying trends along the way.”

Eilish’s last album Happier Than Ever came out in 2021, but she’s been pretty busy in the meantime. Her latest single “What Was I Made For?” was featured in Barbie, and it won her the Academy Award for best original song, which she shared with her brother Finneas O’Connell.

Imagine Dragons are currently plotting their next album, and they came up with a perfect way to put it on the map. The music video for their new single “Eyes Closed” is here, and it serves as the fitting introduction to the band’s next era.

The music video for the band’s latest song was directed by Andrew Donoho, and it looks straight out of Indian Jones movies. It sees the frontman Dan Reynolds embarking on an epic adventure in an ancient dreamlike world, but it’s later revealed these were just visions he was having after a car crash.

“Eyes Closed” is one of Imagine Dragons’ most experimental songs to date, and it blends together the elements of rap, rock, pop, and dubstep. Reynolds revealed its lyrics came together after the band took some time off the road, allowing him to go back to the sonic places that originally brought him the most joy.

“The world looks much different after being a band for more than a decade. But some things will always remain the same. It’s finding that right balance of nostalgia and freshness that brings me the most joy in the studio. We had a lot of fun making this one and hope you enjoy it too,” said Reynolds in a statement.

Rocklahoma Festival is one of the year’s biggest celebrations of rock and metal music, and their next lineup is an embarrassment of riches. Slipknot, Avenged Sevenfold, and Disturbed will be in charge of headlining the next edition of Oklahoma’s leading rock festival.

Rocklahoma welcomed some pretty amazing performers to the Rockin Red Dirt Ranch in Pryor, Oklahoma over the years, and they’ll continue that tradition this summer. The three-day rock festival will run between August 30 and September 1 this time around, and its lineup is as epic as it gets.

The headlining spots have been reserved for Avenged Sevenfold, Disturbed, and Slipknot, and they’ll be in pretty good company. Evanescence, A Day to Remember, Lamb of God, Skillet, Mastodon, and Halestorm are also among the top-billed artists at this year’s Rocklahoma.

Halestorm’s Lzzy Hale can’t wait to hit the Rocklahoma stage this summer, and she described the iconic festival as “a call to arms, a celebration of not only music but also of our differences and what makes us all the same.”

Anthrax will also perform at Rocklahoma before heading to Europe in the fall, and they’ll be joined by Clutch, Kerry King, Coal Chamber, Bad Wolves, and Kim Dracula, among others.

SZA really kept her fans waiting for her long-awaited project Lana, and there’s still a lot of uncertainty surrounding it. After several songs had reportedly been leaked, SZA decided to release them as a part of the SOS deluxe edition, and start working on Lana “from scratch”.

SZA’s decision to delay the release of Lana comes shortly after she spoke about three released songs in a since-deleted tweet. She said she’ll start working on Lana from scratch at the time, telling everyone they can keep the leaks and outtakes to themselves.

Despite deleting this tweet, SZA later doubled down on her statement, saying that the leaks will be released on the SOS deluxe album while she works on Lana.

Lana deserves more time and music no one’s ever heard before… I decided […] I should just consolidate the leaks and the outtakes and drop that as to not prolong the process and then focus on my next project as a win-win for everybody,” she wrote on X.

SZA’s third studio album Lana was originally conceived as a deluxe edition of its predecessor SOS. The R&B superstar later decided to reimagine it as its own album consisting of new music, and “Saturn” was released as its first single last month.

Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour will head to Europe in May, but one thing will change when she hits the road again. Sabrina Carpenter ended her run as Swift’s supporting act this month, and she took a moment to reflect on her magical experience on The Eras Tour.

The “Feather” singer joined Swift during several concerts in Latin America, Asia, and Australia throughout 2023 and 2024. She ended her run as Swift’s supporting act with a series of concerts in Singapore earlier this month, and it took a few weeks for the whole experience to sink in.

Carpenter described The Eras Tour as “a whirlwind” in an emotional post on social media and took a moment to thank everyone who made it possible – from the amazing fans and the incredible crew to Taylor Swift herself.

“And the most thank you’s I’ve ever thank you’d to Taylor. I feel so lucky to witness the magic that is you and this tour. There is truly no one like you and there never will be! Love you with all my heart and I will cherish this Taybrina era (and all the eras) till the end of time,” wrote Carpenter on Instagram.

The Eras Tour will continue in Paris, France on May 9, with Paramore joining Swift as the supporting act.

Rocklahoma welcomed some pretty amazing performers to the Rockin Red Dirt Ranch in Pryor, Oklahoma over the years, and they’ll continue that tradition this summer. The three-day rock festival will run between August 30 and September 1 this time around, and its lineup is as epic as it gets.

The headlining spots have been reserved for Avenged Sevenfold, Disturbed, and Slipknot, and they’ll be in pretty good company. Evanescence, A Day to Remember, Lamb of God, Skillet, Mastodon, and Halestorm are also among the top-billed artists at this year’s Rocklahoma.

Halestorm’s Lzzy Hale can’t wait to hit the Rocklahoma stage this summer, and she described the iconic festival as “a call to arms, a celebration of not only music but also of our differences and what makes us all the same.”

Anthrax will also perform at Rocklahoma before heading to Europe in the fall, and they’ll be joined by Clutch, Kerry King, Coal Chamber, Bad Wolves, and Kim Dracula, among others.

Vampire Weekend – Only God Was Above Us (April 5)

It’s been five years since the release of Vampire Weekend’s Father of the Bride, and Only God Was Above Us is shaping up to be a worthy successor, judging by its lead singles “Capricorn” and “Gen-X Cops”.

Girl in Red has given us a taste of her new sound with songs “Too Much” and “You Need Me Now?” ft. Sabrina Carpenter, set to be featured on her upcoming album I’m Doing It Again Baby!

Taylor Swift – The Tortured Poets Department (April 19)

Taylor Swift hasn’t shared much news about The Tortured Poets Department since announcing it at the Grammys, but we know that the standard edition will feature 16 tracks, including collaborations with Post Malone and Florence and the Machine.

St. Vincent – All Born Screaming (April 26)

Many of our favorite alternative artists will share new albums with the world this April, and St. Vincent’s All Born Screaming is showing a lot of promise so far.

SZA really kept her fans waiting for her long-awaited project Lana, and there’s still a lot of uncertainty surrounding it. After several songs had reportedly been leaked, SZA decided to release them as a part of the SOS deluxe edition, and start working on Lana “from scratch”.

SZA’s decision to delay the release of Lana comes shortly after she spoke about three released songs in a since-deleted tweet. She said she’ll start working on Lana from scratch at the time, telling everyone they can keep the leaks and outtakes to themselves.

Despite deleting this tweet, SZA later doubled down on her statement, saying that the leaks will be released on the SOS deluxe album while she works on Lana.

Lana deserves more time and music no one’s ever heard before… I decided […] I should just consolidate the leaks and the outtakes and drop that as to not prolong the process and then focus on my next project as a win-win for everybody,” she wrote on X.

SZA’s third studio album Lana was originally conceived as a deluxe edition of its predecessor SOS. The R&B superstar later decided to reimagine it as its own album consisting of new music, and “Saturn” was released as its first single last month.

Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour will head to Europe in May, but one thing will change when she hits the road again. Sabrina Carpenter ended her run as Swift’s supporting act this month, and she took a moment to reflect on her magical experience on The Eras Tour.

The “Feather” singer joined Swift during several concerts in Latin America, Asia, and Australia throughout 2023 and 2024. She ended her run as Swift’s supporting act with a series of concerts in Singapore earlier this month, and it took a few weeks for the whole experience to sink in.

Carpenter described The Eras Tour as “a whirlwind” in an emotional post on social media and took a moment to thank everyone who made it possible – from the amazing fans and the incredible crew to Taylor Swift herself.

“And the most thank you’s I’ve ever thank you’d to Taylor. I feel so lucky to witness the magic that is you and this tour. There is truly no one like you and there never will be! Love you with all my heart and I will cherish this Taybrina era (and all the eras) till the end of time,” wrote Carpenter on Instagram.

The Eras Tour will continue in Paris, France on May 9, with Paramore joining Swift as the supporting act.

Lollapalooza is heading back to Chicago’s Grant Park this summer, and this year’s lineup is one for the books. The list of performers has been unveiled, and Blink-182, Tyler, The Creator, Hozier, SZA, and The Killers will be in charge of headlining the festival.

Lollapalooza hosted around 40 performers a day last year, and they’re getting ready to keep that trend going in 2024. This year’s lineup is as massive and star-studded as it gets and offers an impressive mix of different genres, ranging from hip-hop and R&B to rock and indie pop.

In addition to Blink-182, Tyler, The Creator, Hozier, SZA, and The Killers, hip-hop duo Future x Metro Boomin, K-pop group Stray Kids, art pop singer Melanie Martinez, and DJ Skrillex are also among this year’s headliners, prominently featured on the festival’s poster.

Deftones, Pierce the Veil, Two Door Cinema Club, Vince Staples, and Kesha will also make it to the Lollapalooza stage, along with the young rising stars The Last Dinner Party, Tate McRae, Conan Grey, Reneé Rapp, Victoria Monét, and Chappell Roan.

Lollapalooza will return to its iconic venue, Grant Park in Chicago, from August 1 through August 4. Day-by-day lineups will be announced at a later date, and tickets are already available for pre-sale.
