On the inspiration behind her debut project, Jayde shares, “With the way society works and the way the world is, I think we are conditioned to think that happiness is this ethereal state of being, and that happiness is a choice.'

“I write too many songs about men who break my heart, so my mom deserves a song because she is the one there through it all,” Catie said. “This is my Mother’s Day present to her and all the other incredible moms out there.”

ITV has announced a new talent television series, Starstruck! The panel will feature award winning singer and actress Sheridan Smith, Queen frontman Adam Lambert, comedian Jason Manford and the UK’s leading soulstress and musical theatre star Beverley Knight. Olly Murs has been confirmed as the host.

The show will feature award presentations in multiple categories, live performances from the biggest artists in music, surprise stage moments and will tell the stories of the winning artists’ road to #1. 

While there is a light at the end of the tunnel as many shows are aiming for a Fall reopening, it is hard to know that it will still be quite a while before Broadway theaters are able to welcome back pre-pandemic sized crowds. So, when I saw that TodayTix would be hosting an outdoor concert series in an effort to reunite artists and audiences as live theatre is slowly re-introduced to New York City, I was ecstatic and immediately bought tickets for the first performance on April 2nd.

With her most recent album, 'Positions,' recently breaking the record for most songs to debut at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and cementing her as Spotify's most-streamed female artist of the past decade, Grande, a self-proclaimed fan of 'The Voice,' claims a red chair at a pivotal point in her career.

Originally released in the fall, “Burn” was written after a bout of depression and served as a breakthrough moment for the Los Angeles-born and based artist in both her mental health and songwriting. 

Cardi is also making history as the first female rap artist to earn two number one singles unaccompanied by any other artist.

The wide release follows the exclusive premiere with PAPER, alongside a guest playlist curated by Betta Lemme herself with all the hits you can dance and cry your eyes out to from ABBA and SOPHIE, to Ariana Grande to My Chemical Romance.

Notable artists and mental health advocates will band together in a free virtual broadcast on Thursday, March 25 at 8 p.m. ET to shine a light on the music industry's mental health crisis. The 'Lost Tapes Live' broadcast was produced by Lemmon Entertainment and recorded at Toronto-based studio The HUB.

Music Compound is determined to help aspiring artists take charge of their career and set themselves up for success. During a virtual presentation featuring professional flutist Gina Luciani, attendees will learn how to network the right way, create their brand, market themselves, and use social media to further their careers.

The Kids’ Choice Awards 2021 took place on Saturday, March 13, at 7:30 p.m. (ET/PT). Hosted by Kenan Thompson (Kenan, Saturday Night Live), the KCAs featured performances by Grammy® Award-winning global superstar Justin Bieber, celebrity appearances, exciting surprises and the net’s signature green slime, and revealed kids’ favorite tv shows, movies, music and more. 

ASCAP hosted all seven of its 2020 awards shows on @ASCAP Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, reimagining the event in an innovative way to shine a spotlight on music creators.

The awards honored six musicals from Broadway, Off-Broadway, and the West End with nominations for Best Musical Theatre Album - 'Jagged Little Pill,' 'American Utopia,' 'Little Shop of Horrors,' 'The Prince of Egypt,' 'Soft Power,' and Amélie.'

“weapon” follows the trio’s October release, “that won’t save us,” which premiered via Flood Magazine and was touted by Billboard as a “guitar-driven jam.” 

In the last two months of 2020, Kat released remixes to their track “Supernova,” one with popular alt/rock act PVRIS, and one an acoustic version, after releasing a show-stopping holiday classic “O’Holy Night.” 

“My favorite part about releasing my own music is that it’s a bit of a time capsule into my emotions,” notes Parx. “When I listen to ‘Sad’ now it’s so funny that somebody could affect me so much so, that I wrote this quirky song about it. Maybe it wasn’t the healthiest reaction, but it was my own coping mechanism at the time.”

No matter where you’re headed, the perfect music makes any trip that much better and memorable. Adding these five songs to your playlist will turn the long ride or flight into something fun and will define your trip for years to come. ​​​​​​​
