The post 5 Brand-New Albums That We Can’t Wait to Hear This Spring appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>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 post Taylor Swift Shares Unheard Song from the Vault Featuring Maren Morris appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>This never-before-heard song serves as the second single from Fearless (Taylor’s Version), set to come out on April 9th. This album will feature a total of 26 tracks, including six new bonus songs “from the vault” that didn’t make it to the original album.
“One thing I’ve been loving about these From the Vault songs is that they’ve never been heard, so I can experiment, play, and even include some of my favorite artists,” wrote Swift on Instagram, and added she’s excited to announce Morris’ involvement.
“The Middle” singer previously performed by Swift’s side during a Reputation Tour concert in Arlington, Texas. Morris started her rise to the top as a country singer, just like Swift, leading to the frequent comparison between the two, but she said she’s flattered by it in an interview with Coveteur.

]]>Morris announced her decision on social media and said it felt best to take this step because it’s still uncertain if she’ll be able to do the tour next year.
“With the prospect of, yet again, rescheduling half of the dates already becoming a reality, I have decided to cancel the RSVP Tour … I am in the midst of working on my third record, so I hope we can all come together and enjoy live shows safely again soon,” wrote Morris.
Despite the delay of her tour, 2020 has been a pretty fruitful year for the country star. She received a Grammy nomination for the best country song for “The Bones”, in addition to winning three trophies at this year’s CMA Awards, including song of the year.

]]>Morris took a walk down memory lane during a recent appearance on Seth Meyers’ talk show and recalled what happened when she auditioned for the popular singing competition show over a decade ago.
“I have this very traumatic vivid memory of auditioning for American Idol when I was 17. You audition for a 20-year-old producer who probably has no music cred… You sing your heart out and my entire group got cut, like, ‘Sorry, you have to take the walk of shame,’” recalled Maren Morris.
She still managed to find some poetic justice in the whole thing, because many contestants now audition for the show performing her songs – and she still gets the check. Years after her American Idol audition, Morris has two successful albums behind her and one Grammy award on her trophy shelf.
