The post 2024 Grammy Awards: Taylor Swift Wins Big With “Midnights” & Announces New Album appeared first on Hot Pop Today.

SZA scored nods in most of the night’s main categories, starting with album of the year. SOS will have to beat tough completion in Taylor Swift’s Midnights, Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts, Janelle Monáe’s The Age of Pleasure, Miley Cyrus’ Endless Summer Vacation, Lana Del Rey’s Ocean Blvd, Boygenius’s The Record, and Jon Batiste’s World Music Radio to take this award home.

Her smash hit “Kill Bill” will be competing for both song and record of the year, and it’s in pretty good company. The list of songs that made it to both of these categories also includes Swift’s “Anti-Hero”, Rodrigo’s “Vampire”, Cyrus’ “Flowers”, Batiste’s “Butterfly”, and Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?” are also in the running in both categories.

Victoria Monét, Phoebe Bridgers, and Serban Ghenea are also among the major nominees at this year’s Grammys with seven nominations. Jack Antonoff, Jon Batiste, Brandy Clark, Boygenius, Miley Cyrus, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, and Taylor Swift are right behind with six each.

The post SZA Scores Nine Nominations for 2024 Grammy Awards, Including Album & Record of the Year appeared first on Hot Pop Today.

Boygenius was founded by Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, and Lucy Dacus and they’ve been making music for five years before finally deciding to release their first album together. Their debut LP The Record hit the shelves back in March, and its spiritual successor is just around the corner.

The poetic cover for this EP was shot by Matt Grub, and it shows Baker, Bridgers, and Dacus standing on the beach at sunset, while the wind blows through their hair.

The Rest will be released by Interscope on October 12, and it will feature four new songs, including “Black Hole”. It’s their third EP together following Boygenius and Boygenius (Demos), and it’s available to pre-order on limited edition yellow 10 vinyl and CD.

Boygenius made quite a splash with The Record earlier this year, which became the first no. 1 album in the UK for all of its members, in addition to debuting at No. 4 in the US. Just last week, they also released the animated music video for the song “Cool About It” directed by Lauren Tsai.

The National kicked the week off by dropping a surprise album Laugh Track on Monday, which serves as the companion piece to First Two Pages of Frankenstein. Its title single features Phoebe Bridgers and it’s one of the album’s standout songs.

Doja Cat’s Scarlet is definitely the most buzzed-about album to hit the shelves this Friday, and she created a lot of commotion while promoting it in the past few months. The album’s standard edition featured 15 tracks, including the newly released single “Agora Hills”.

Scarlet isn’t the only highly-anticipated new album to come out this week. Kylie Minogue built a lot of buzz for her new album Tension thanks to her viral hit “Padam Padam” and gave us several more amazing disco-inspired tracks including “Hold On to Now”.

The rest of our list for this week is equally remarkable and includes new music from Shakira, Blink-182, Troye Sivan, Bleachers, and Tom Odell.

Doja Cat – “Agora Hills”

Kylie Minogue – “Hold On To Now”

Shakira, Fuerza Regida – “El Jefe”

The National – “Laugh Track (feat. Phoebe Bridgers)”

Blink-182 – “One More Time”

Troye Sivan – “Got Me Started”

This week saw Janelle Monáe tease her first album in five years—and the news was worth the wait. Her latest single “Lipstick Lover” is the week’s most exciting new release, and it’s in pretty good company.

Thirty Seconds To Mars also announced the release of their album It’s the End of the World but It’s a Beautiful Day, and they gave us a taste of things to come with a new song “Stuck”. Queens of the Stone Age are also busy teasing their next album In Times New Roman…, and we finally know what to expect from this record after hearing the lead single “Emotion Sickness”.

It’s been a great week for rock bands in general, and you’ll have your ears blown away by the new songs from Imagine Dragons and Nothing But Thieves. Hip-hop fans should also get ready to add some new songs to their playlist since the likes of Lil Durk and. J. Cole releasing new music.

According to the band’s press release, this song “confronts the entanglements of the habitual mind and the overwhelming nature of scrutiny” and frontman Matt Berninger wrote it while dealing with writer’s block. He tried to overcome it by grabbing a random book from a shelf, and its plot inspired him to write “Your Mind Is Not Your Friend”.

“The book starts off with the narrator on a voyage near the Arctic Circle, and that image of being adrift helped me to write about feeling disconnected and lost and lacking in purpose,” he explained in a statement.

The music video for this track was directed by Phoebe Bridgers’ brother Jackson. It was filmed at a park in Los Angeles and sees Berninger and his brother Tom frolic in a park, trying to relive their childhood memories.

“Your Mind Is Not Your Friend” has been released as the fourth single from The National’s upcoming album First Two Pages of Frankenstein, following “Tropic Morning News”, “New Order T-Shirt”, and “Eucalyptus”. This record will hit the shelves on April 28, and it will also feature collaborations with Sufjan Stevens and Taylor Swift.

The Los Angeles-based artists discussed her upcoming record in a recent interview with DIY Magazine and revealed it explores many dark themes that she already tackled in the past.

“I basically write the same song over and over and then look to my producers and my bandmates to help me make them sound different. None of it is super surprising to anyone who has listened to my music,” said Bridgers.

The singer mentioned she has one song about being locked out of her house, and another about the apocalypse, but exploring dark themes doesn’t necessarily mean her songs aren’t uplifting.

Bridgers thinks they may seem depressing on paper, but sound a little bit more victorious once you actually here them – but you’ll judge for yourself once her album comes out.

Music was the most important side character in this Netflix hit, and not only because the main character just happens to be working at the legendary magazine Rolling Stone. Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, who wrote and directed this film, was once a music writer herself, and this film wouldn’t be what it is if it wasn’t for her background in this industry.

The film’s title actually originates from LCD Soundsystem’s song of the same name, but this band wasn’t even her main source of inspiration.

“The songs that came first were Lorde’s ‘Supercut’ and UGK’s ‘International Players Anthem. They were the grounding places I started. I’d say ‘Supercut’ was written into the movie. It existed in the movie before any of the people in the movie existed,” explained Robinson in an interview with Rolling Stone.

Check out our five favorite songs from Someone Great:

Lorde – Supercut

Phoebe Bridgers – Motion Sickness

Lizzo – Truth Hurts

Mitski – Your Best American Girl

UGK – International Players Anthem

Midnights defeated tough competition in SZA’s SOS, Boygenius’ The Record, and Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts to be crowned album of the year at this year’s Grammys.

The post 2024 Grammy Awards: Taylor Swift Wins Big With “Midnights” & Announces New Album appeared first on Hot Pop Today.

SZA scored nods in most of the night’s main categories, starting with album of the year. SOS will have to beat tough completion in Taylor Swift’s Midnights, Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts, Janelle Monáe’s The Age of Pleasure, Miley Cyrus’ Endless Summer Vacation, Lana Del Rey’s Ocean Blvd, Boygenius’s The Record, and Jon Batiste’s World Music Radio to take this award home.

Her smash hit “Kill Bill” will be competing for both song and record of the year, and it’s in pretty good company. The list of songs that made it to both of these categories also includes Swift’s “Anti-Hero”, Rodrigo’s “Vampire”, Cyrus’ “Flowers”, Batiste’s “Butterfly”, and Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?” are also in the running in both categories.

Victoria Monét, Phoebe Bridgers, and Serban Ghenea are also among the major nominees at this year’s Grammys with seven nominations. Jack Antonoff, Jon Batiste, Brandy Clark, Boygenius, Miley Cyrus, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, and Taylor Swift are right behind with six each.

The 66th Annual Grammy Awards will air on CBS and Paramount+ on February 4, 2024, and the host is yet to be chosen.

Boygenius was founded by Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, and Lucy Dacus and they’ve been making music for five years before finally deciding to release their first album together. Their debut LP The Record hit the shelves back in March, and its spiritual successor is just around the corner.

The poetic cover for this EP was shot by Matt Grub, and it shows Baker, Bridgers, and Dacus standing on the beach at sunset, while the wind blows through their hair.

The Rest will be released by Interscope on October 12, and it will feature four new songs, including “Black Hole”. It’s their third EP together following Boygenius and Boygenius (Demos), and it’s available to pre-order on limited edition yellow 10 vinyl and CD.

Boygenius made quite a splash with The Record earlier this year, which became the first no. 1 album in the UK for all of its members, in addition to debuting at No. 4 in the US. Just last week, they also released the animated music video for the song “Cool About It” directed by Lauren Tsai.

The National kicked the week off by dropping a surprise album Laugh Track on Monday, which serves as the companion piece to First Two Pages of Frankenstein. Its title single features Phoebe Bridgers and it’s one of the album’s standout songs.

Doja Cat’s Scarlet is definitely the most buzzed-about album to hit the shelves this Friday, and she created a lot of commotion while promoting it in the past few months. The album’s standard edition featured 15 tracks, including the newly released single “Agora Hills”.

Scarlet isn’t the only highly-anticipated new album to come out this week. Kylie Minogue built a lot of buzz for her new album Tension thanks to her viral hit “Padam Padam” and gave us several more amazing disco-inspired tracks including “Hold On to Now”.

The rest of our list for this week is equally remarkable and includes new music from Shakira, Blink-182, Troye Sivan, Bleachers, and Tom Odell.

Doja Cat – “Agora Hills”

Kylie Minogue – “Hold On To Now”

Shakira, Fuerza Regida – “El Jefe”

The National – “Laugh Track (feat. Phoebe Bridgers)”

This week saw Janelle Monáe tease her first album in five years—and the news was worth the wait. Her latest single “Lipstick Lover” is the week’s most exciting new release, and it’s in pretty good company.

Thirty Seconds To Mars also announced the release of their album It’s the End of the World but It’s a Beautiful Day, and they gave us a taste of things to come with a new song “Stuck”. Queens of the Stone Age are also busy teasing their next album In Times New Roman…, and we finally know what to expect from this record after hearing the lead single “Emotion Sickness”.

It’s been a great week for rock bands in general, and you’ll have your ears blown away by the new songs from Imagine Dragons and Nothing But Thieves. Hip-hop fans should also get ready to add some new songs to their playlist since the likes of Lil Durk and. J. Cole releasing new music.

According to the band’s press release, this song “confronts the entanglements of the habitual mind and the overwhelming nature of scrutiny” and frontman Matt Berninger wrote it while dealing with writer’s block. He tried to overcome it by grabbing a random book from a shelf, and its plot inspired him to write “Your Mind Is Not Your Friend”.

“The book starts off with the narrator on a voyage near the Arctic Circle, and that image of being adrift helped me to write about feeling disconnected and lost and lacking in purpose,” he explained in a statement.

The music video for this track was directed by Phoebe Bridgers’ brother Jackson. It was filmed at a park in Los Angeles and sees Berninger and his brother Tom frolic in a park, trying to relive their childhood memories.

“Your Mind Is Not Your Friend” has been released as the fourth single from The National’s upcoming album First Two Pages of Frankenstein, following “Tropic Morning News”, “New Order T-Shirt”, and “Eucalyptus”. This record will hit the shelves on April 28, and it will also feature collaborations with Sufjan Stevens and Taylor Swift.

The Los Angeles-based artists discussed her upcoming record in a recent interview with DIY Magazine and revealed it explores many dark themes that she already tackled in the past.

“I basically write the same song over and over and then look to my producers and my bandmates to help me make them sound different. None of it is super surprising to anyone who has listened to my music,” said Bridgers.

The singer mentioned she has one song about being locked out of her house, and another about the apocalypse, but exploring dark themes doesn’t necessarily mean her songs aren’t uplifting.

Bridgers thinks they may seem depressing on paper, but sound a little bit more victorious once you actually here them – but you’ll judge for yourself once her album comes out.

Music was the most important side character in this Netflix hit, and not only because the main character just happens to be working at the legendary magazine Rolling Stone. Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, who wrote and directed this film, was once a music writer herself, and this film wouldn’t be what it is if it wasn’t for her background in this industry.

The film’s title actually originates from LCD Soundsystem’s song of the same name, but this band wasn’t even her main source of inspiration.

“The songs that came first were Lorde’s ‘Supercut’ and UGK’s ‘International Players Anthem. They were the grounding places I started. I’d say ‘Supercut’ was written into the movie. It existed in the movie before any of the people in the movie existed,” explained Robinson in an interview with Rolling Stone.

Check out our five favorite songs from Someone Great:

Lorde – Supercut

Phoebe Bridgers – Motion Sickness

Lizzo – Truth Hurts

Mitski – Your Best American Girl

UGK – International Players Anthem
