The post Madison Beer Pays Homage to “Jennifer’s Body” in New Music Video appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>The “Make You Mine” visual was co-directed by Beer and Aerin Moreno, and it features countless references to Jennifer’s Body. Beer looks exactly like Megan Fox’s character and plays a killer cheerleader who joins forces with her BFF to murder a guy who has a crush on her.
Beer described this music video as a dream come true, and thanked everyone who made it possible on social media. She’s been a fan of Jennifer’s Body for quite some time and even previously dressed as the main character for Halloween.
“Make You Mine” was released back in February, and the singer revealed it’s her favorite song she’s ever made to date.
“It’s just so fun, such a feel-good song. It’s se-y, it’s infectious. I haven’t played it for anyone that hasn’t just like [started] dancing and felt immediately hotter after listening to it, and that’s always how I want to make people feel,” she told Billboard in February.

]]>“Espresso” hit the shelves on April 12, just in time for Carpenter’s performance at Coachella, and drew 19.8 million streams, 5.1 million in airplay audience, and sold 4,000 in its first week. It debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming the week’s highest-charting new song, in addition to being Carpenter’s first single to enter the top ten.
In addition to finding success in the US, “Espresso” also entered the top ten in Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom, becoming her highest-charting song in these territories.
Carpenter recently revealed that the lyrics for “Espresso” came together pretty quickly when she was in France, and she could feel how fun the song would be from the very start.
“I think for me, there was something really exciting about the fact that there was so much personality throughout the entire song because those are the ones that are really, really fun to sing live with a crowd,” Carpenter told Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe.

]]>The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame honors “artists who have created music whose originality, impact, and influence has changed the course of rock and roll”, and their performer category includes eight honorees this time around.
Cher was nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for the first time this year, after publicly calling out the organization for never taking her into consideration. Just a few months ago, she told Kelly Clarkson, “I wouldn’t be in it now if they gave me a million dollars.”
Cher is yet to publicly address her induction, but Mary J. Blige and Ozzy Osbourne are among the honorees who expressed gratitude to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They’ll be inducted alongside Dave Matthews Band, Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Kool & The Gang, and A Tribe Called Quest.
The 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony will take place on October 19, and it will air live on Disney+.

]]>The post Best New Songs of the Week appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>No album this week created more commotion than Taylor Swift’s Tortured Poets and its companion piece The Anthology. She’s given us 16 new songs on the standard edition and 31 in total, but “So Long, London” is definitely her strongest new release.
This Friday was pretty slow for new releases because most artists wanted to avoid competing with Swift. That didn’t stop Pearl Jam from sharing their long-awaited album Dark Matter, which produced several amazing songs, including “Wreckage”.
The lack of major releases helped our favorite indie and international artists shine, and make it to our list of the best new songs of the week. Hozier’s “Why Would You Be Loved” is definitely worth listening to on repeat, and so are the latest singles by Rachel Chinouriri, Debbii Dawson, Kings of Leon, Kate Nash, and more.

]]>The post Taylor Swift Gets Vulnerable & Vindictive on “The Tortured Poets Department” appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>Swift has been through a lot since Midnight hit the shelves in 2022—and we’re not just talking about her record-breaking The Eras Tour. The singer’s romantic relationship often served as the main source of inspiration for her music, and Tortured Poets continues this trend, but not in a way you’d think.
This is Swift’s first album of new material since her six-year relationship with Joe Alwyn came to an end, and many expected their breakup would be the main subject of this album. Instead of simply throwing Alwyn under the bus, Swift decided to explore many stages of heartbreak on this record, reserving her vindictive quips for a short-term fling with Matty Healy and giving her some of her edgiest lyrics since Reputation.
Tortured Poets is at its strongest when Swift is ready to bare her emotions and get vulnerable, instead of resorting to pettiness. “So Long, London” is the case in point, and it’s one of her most emotional and raw breakup anthems since her magnum opus “All Too Well”.
Her vulnerability doesn’t shine as strongly on the rest of the album, but Reputation fans will appreciate the vengeful tone and audacious nature of some of the album’s buzziest songs, such as “But Daddy I Love Him”, “The Tortured Poets Department”, and especially “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived”. She also found two pretty great collaborators in Post Malone (“Fortnight”) and Florence Welch (“Florida!!!”).
Swift’s storytelling skills remain as strong as ever on The Tortured Poets Department, but this collection of songs doesn’t feel as cohesive as some of her recent albums. Its synth-pop sound feels repetitive at times, making us wonder if Swift’s collaboration with producer Jack Antonoff has run its course – especially when we compare it with Aaron Dessner’s work on the album’s second volume The Anthology.
The Tortured Poets Department is a solid synth-pop record that bridges the gap between Swift’s several eras. It gives us a moment of boldness, audacity, and vulnerability that continue the singer’s legacy as one of the best storytellers of her generation, but it also feels like a pit stop until the next great thing.

]]>Sia and Paris Hilton previously joined forces for the cover of “Stars Are Blind” during Miley Cyrus’ New Year’s Eve special, and they’ve been plotting their next collaboration ever since. Hilton even revealed that Sia would be producing her second studio album, but it turns out this won’t be their first creative partnership.
Hilton just hopped on Sia’s latest single “Fame Won’t Love You”, the song that captures the way that motherhood changed both of their relationships with fame. The collaboration came pretty naturally for Hilton, who felt no tension being in the studio with Sia.
“She brought something out of me that nobody ever has. Because I never ever really felt comfortable with people in the studio… With her, I just feel so comfortable so I really sang in ways that I never knew were possible,” Hilton told Billboard.
“Fame Won’t Love You” was released as the fifth single from Sia’s upcoming album Reasonable Woman, set to hit the shelves on May 3.

]]>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.

]]>After stirring quite a commotion with her music video for “Feather”, Carpenter decided to take things breezy with “Espresso”. Her latest visual is the very definition of summer fun, and it sees her having a beachside vacation while rocking several pin-up style outfits.
Carpenter described “Espresso” as a song about “seeing femininity as your superpower”, and said she had a very clear vision for its music video from the get-go.
“Since the day I heard the song, I saw a beach atmosphere – and more specifically this kind of old school [and] modern environment. [I wanted to capture] the playfulness that I like to use throughout all of my videos. I also just wanted a pool car, to be frank,” she told Vogue.
Carpenter dropped “Espresso” ahead of her performance at Coachella, and this marks her first solo release of the year. She spent the start of 2024 touring alongside Taylor Swift on The Eras Tour and joined forces with Girl in Red for the duet “You Need Me Now?”

]]>Dua Lipa’s “Illusion” is definitely the week’s most talked-about new track, and it deserves all the attention coming its way. It’s the third single from her new album Radical Optimism, and it perfectly captures its nostalgic, Britpop-inspired sound.
This week also marked the release of Metro Boomin and Future’s second collaborative album We Still Don’t Trust You, and its title track made it to our list. Speaking of new albums, Maggie Rogers and Girl in Red made a comeback with their latest LPs this week and truly impressed us with their new sound.
It was a great week for female artists overall, and the songs that made the cut cover a wide range of different genres. In addition to Maggie Rogers and Girl in Red representing alternative pop-rock, R&B artists Chlöe, Tinashe, and Willow also made it to our list alongside the rising country star Tanner Adell.
