The post Post Malone and Florence + the Machine to Be Featured on Taylor Swift’s New Album appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>Swift dropped hints about her eleventh studio album while accepting the Grammy for its predecessor Midnights. She revealed The Tortured Poets Department will hit the shelves on April 19 during the live broadcast, and it didn’t take her long to share its cover and full tracklist.
“Fortnight” featuring Post Malone will open Swift’s next album, but he won’t be her only A-list collaborator on this LP. Florence + the Machine will team up with Swift for the song titled “Florida!!!”
The Tortured Poets Department is expected to feature a total of 17 tracks, with such titles as “So Long, London”, “I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)”, “I Can Do It with a Broken Heart”, and “Clara Bow”.
In addition to sharing the cover and tracklist, Swift also posted a handwritten note, featuring lyrics, “And so I enter into evidence / My tarnished coat of arms / My muses, acquired like bruises / My talismans and charms / The tick, tick, tick of love bombs / My veins of pitch-black ink / All’s fair in love and poetry…”

]]>Most of our list this week consists of high-profile collaborations that bland rap with other genres. Nicki Minaj and Kim Petras finally dropped their long-awaited collaboration “Alone”, The Weeknd and Future continued their partnership with “Double Fantasy”, and Snoop Dogg hopped on Bebe Rexha’s “Satellite”.
This week has given us countless epic new tracks, but it’s been pretty slow for album releases. BTS’s Suga aka August D is the only artist expect to make any real impact on the charts with his new solo album D-Day and single “Haegeum”.
Our favorite female vocalists and rappers kept impressing us this week and delivered some new tracks we’ll be listening to on repeat, from Kali Uchis’s “Moonlight” and GloRilla’s “Unh Unh” to Florence and the Machine’s dreamy new track “Mermaids”.
This week’s list of the best new tracks also includes new singles from the British stars Ed Sheeran and Arlo Parks, so check it out and find your next favorite song.

]]>Cabello has been teasing her third studio album for quite some time with the singles “Don’t Go Yet” and “Bam Bam” featuring Ed Sheeran, and we’ll soon get to hear it in full.
The rising hip-hop star is getting ready to drop his second studio album this spring, and he already created a lot of buzz for this record with the lead single “Nail Tech”.
The fifth studio album by Florence and the Machine was a long time coming, and judging by the singles “King”, “Heaven Is Here” and “My Love”—it was certainly worth the wait.
Arcade Fire hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with their last three albums and they’ll try to replicate their success with We—the band’s first record in five years.
If country happens to be your favorite genre, you’ll be able to pick between many amazing albums this spring and Maren Morris’s next record is receiving more buzz than any other.

]]>The “A Moment with the Met” event was hosted by Vogue editor and Met Gala co-chair Anna Wintour on May 4th. She tried to keep the spirit of fashion’s biggest night alive alongside several celebrity guests, including Florence Welch, who joined her for “a special moment of joy and of hope”.
“She performed at the Met nearly a decade ago, and she very graciously told me that it was one of the most extraordinary moments of her life. I am so touched and so grateful that she has agreed to sing for us tonight,” said Wintour while introducing the singer.
Welch performed an acoustic version of her hit The Source cover “You’ve Got the Love”, which originally came out in 2009, and became her first song to enter the top 5 in the UK. Her involvement in this event comes shortly after the release of the charity single “Light of Love”.

]]>The post 5 Albums by Alternative Female Artists That Defined This Decade appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>Here are 5 albums that contributed to this change:
Florence’s debut album Lungs put this indie-pop group on the map, but its follow-up proved they’re not a one-hit-wonder and things only got better from there.
Lana Del Rey is one of the alternative pop artist who defined the 2010s as we know it, and it all started with her major-label debut Born to Die.
St. Vincent is only one of two solo female artist to ever win a Grammy for best alternative music album, and her eponymous record from 2014 made this possible.
Billie Eilish’s star is still on the rise, but if her debut album is any indication of what awaits in the future, she’s got many amazing things in store for us.
Halsey shifted to pop as her career progressed, but she always identified as an alternative artist, and her debut album from 2015 clearly falls under this genre.

But that’s not all! Along with announcing their 10th-anniversary box set, the band also unveiled two previously unreleased demos — “My Best Dress” and “Donkey Kosh.”

]]>Fans of the show immediately fell in love with this harrowing tune, and the band has finally performed it in front of a live audience for the first time.
Florence Welch delivered soulful rendition of the band’s latest hit during a recent concert at Arizona’s FORM Arcosanti Festival.
She gave a shout-out to fan favorite Arya Stark, and dedicated the song to her because she “saved us all.”
“Jenny of Oldstones” was featured during end credits of the second episode of Game Of Thrones’ final season, titled “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.”
Showrunners D.B. Weiss and Dan Benioff approached Florence, who was a long time-fan of the show and accepted their invitation because the project seemed intriguing.
“The notes of it sounded like a Celtic folk song to me. I thought it was really beautiful. I love the idea of dancing with ghosts and never wanting to leave. That totally makes sense to me. I feel like I do that every night on stage,” Welch said in an interview with The New York Times.

]]>The song “Jenny of Oldstones” plays across the final moments of the episode after one of the characters sung “Jenny’s Song” by the fire, which appears in the books. Game of Thrones fans may want to take a close look at the lyrics of the song as they may give some insight into how the next episode will go.
Florence is, in fact, the only artist to have been approached to contribute to the epic final season. This is not the first time her music has been featured in the show. It was used all the way back in season 2 for the trailer.
Show creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss explained their decision: “We’ve always been huge fans of Florence’s music, and the Season 2 trailer with her song ‘Seven Devils’ was possibly the most powerful we’ve ever had.
“So the opportunity to hear her otherworldly voice on our show was always at the forefront of our minds. We’re still pleasantly shocked that she agreed to sing ‘Jenny of Oldstones,’ and we’re in love with the result.”
Florence Welch added: “Celtic music has always been in my blood, so I felt like I could do something with it. The magic and ritual in ‘Game of Thrones,’ not to mention the costumes, have always appealed to me. I am honored to be a part of the final season.”

“It’s the most extraordinary lineup, way beyond anything we’ve ever done, absolutely amazing. There will always be people who are disappointed. How they’d be disappointed with this one is beyond me!” said Benn.
Ireland’s biggest festival of the year will take place at Stradbally Hall, located in Stradbally, County Laois, between August 30 and September 1. The list of performers also features Billie Eilish, James Blake, Jarvis Cocker, and Jess Glynne.

Speaking to Zane Lowe on Apple Music’s Beats 1, Florence explained: “‘Moderation’ was written during the time I was writing ‘High As Hope’. It was one of those instant songs but didn’t fit with the theme of the record cos I knew I wasn’t writing a relationship record.
“It’s about reaching outwards and being cross that someone can’t give you what you want, but the chorus came from a childhood memory of being told off in church.”
Florence is currently on tour in Australia and New Zealand and will head to North America in May for the final stint of her world tour.
