One minute, Sigrid's making us dance up a storm with bangers like "High Five," and the next minute, she's tugging at our heartstrings with remarkably susceptible confessionals. The women got layers. The Norwegian pop star — who's MTV's Push: Artist to Watch for the month of June — unveiled her latest distributing, "Focus," on Friday (June 15). "I'm also scared to admit, also scar..

Following in Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato's footsteps, Niall Horan is the latest pop star to test his memory with BBC Radio 1's "Remember the Lyrics" game. And just like those women, he struggled just a bit. While appearing on Radio 1's Breakfast Show, the 24-year-old gamely played a round of "Remember the Lyrics," in which he was tasked with finishing the words to some of his oldest..

It's been four months since Khalid and Normani teamed up to give us the ultimate Valentine's Day treat: the sultry Love, Simon collab, "Love Lies." Following its release, the track peaked at No. 36 on the Billboard Hot 100 and gave us a few very steamy live performances (not to say, a amazing video), however 'Mani and Khalid aren't done yet. On Wednesday (June 13), the duo unveiled a..

A long, long time ago (read: all of the way back in February), Troye Sivan confirmed some "trumours" about a upcoming group effort with none other than Ariana Grande. He called her his "pop queen" and mentioned he couldn't wait for us all to hear them finally team up on a track. Folks, Troye doesn't have to wait any longer. "Dance to This" is here — and while it's true that you may ..

it may be hard to believe, however Dua Lipa's self-titled debut album is already each year old. In those 12 short months, "New Rules" has become an anthem — and one of these tunes that's so inescapable it's hard to imagine life before. "IDGAF," meanwhile, has acquired an all-star "remix" with the help of Charli XCX, Zara Larsson, MØ, and Alma, and Dua herself has become an internat..

The last time we seen a Shawn Mendes video, the 19-year-old was being pelted with rocks and hail while insisting that giving up isn't in his blood. This time around, the Canadian crooner keeps it much more simple and laid-back, taking a "Gap commercial" approach to his latest single, "Nervous." In the new vid, Mendes strums away on his guitar while anonymous hands get all touchy-feel..

Shawn Mendes's "In My Blood" is a full-throated stadium hymn, influenced by the 2000s rock pantheon (and key Mendes inspiration) of Kings of Leon. Charlie Puth, meanwhile, primarily pumps out bouncy R&B with collaborators like Kehlani and Selena Gomez. Although what would "In My Blood" sound like in Puth's silken hands? That's the question posed by BBC Radio 1's continuously great co..

Two years right after bursting onto the pop scene with the searing anthem "Don't Kill My Vibe," Sigrid is still churning out unabashedly trustworthy bangers. The 21-year-old can seemingly sniff out (and then call out) bullshit from a mile away — it's there on the kiss-off anthem "Plot Twist," the irresistibly dancey "Strangers," and, perhaps most conspicuously, on the self-assured t..

Rita Ora's "Girls" has been a controversial sandwich smeared with a helping of fury and also a side of countless apologies. Several music fans and singers had a problem with the Charli XCX-, Bebe Rexha-, and Cardi B- featuring track and why it presented queer love. So, the Helmi-directed music video was entering a contentious landscape where any visual could be heavily scrutinized. T..

All this week, Shawn Mendes is hanging out on The Late Late Show with James Corden as piece of a previously reported residency — the same kind Harry Styles did in 2017. And since they got their "Carpool Karaoke" segment off to the side on Monday, it was anybody's guess as to what Mendes would do next. On Tuesday (June 5), he did the next most logical thing because the co-host of a ..

Shawn Mendes is spending the week co-hosting The Late Late Show with James Corden, which means it was just a matter of time before he made his "Carpool Karaoke" debut. And Monday night (June 4), the pair wasted absolutely no time, getting right in the vehicle to belt out "There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back," "In My Blood," and other Mendes hits — as well as taking a brief conversationa..

Maren Morris and Niall Horan recently reunited on the latter's Flicker World Tour, and, much to our delight, they're apparently finding some time to jam with each other on the road. On Monday (June 4), Horan surprised fans with a new video of him and Morris performing "Seeing Blind," their duet from his 2017 album, Flicker. The sepia-toned vid was filmed in Nashville and features the..
