]]>The post 5 Songs from Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” That Got Everyone Talking appeared first on EverydayKoala.
]]>“Texas Hold ‘Em” gave us a taste of Cowboy Carter before this album even came out. It introduced us to Beyoncé’s new sound, set several chart records, and started a larger conversation about the place of African-American artists in country music.
Beyoncé didn’t just cover Dolly Parton’s timeless classic “Jolene”—she put a modern, defiant spin on this pleading country bop, infusing it with her personal history.
Cowboy Carter wouldn’t be the same without its amazing collaborations, and “II Most Wanted” did a great job blending Beyoncé and Cyrus’ voices and musical styles in perfect harmony.
In addition to being one of Cowboy Carter’s strongest tracks, “Protector” became a huge sensation online because it features spoken word by Beyoncé’s daughter Rumi Carter.
“Ya Ya” is quickly establishing itself as one of Cowboy Carter’s breakout hits, and it will win you over with its infectious energy and catchy lyrics.

]]>The post Olivia Rodrigo is “Obsessed” With Her Boyfriend’s Exes in New Music Video appeared first on EverydayKoala.
]]>The Mitch Ryan-directed visual sees the Grammy-winning singer attending a ballroom party with a pretty exclusive guest list. All the girls in attendance are exes of the same guy, who just happens to be the current love interest of Rodrigo’s, who attends the party wearing a black dress and a sash that reads “Miss Right Now”.
While the song’s lyrics perfectly capture the destructive power of jealousy, Rodrigo finds herself surrounded by a group of women in white gowns, wearing sashes that read “Miss Thought She Was the One” and “Miss Sill His Closest Friend”.
“Obsessed” was previously featured as a hidden track on some vinyl editions of Guts before being officially released as a single. It’s one of five new tracks featured on the album’s deluxe edition Guts (Spilled), alongside “Scared of My Guitar”, “Stranger”, “Girl I’ve Always Been”, and “So American”.
Rodrigo’s sophomore album Guts originally came out in September last year, and produced hit singles “Vampire”, “Bad Idea Right?”, and “Get Him Back”.

]]>With 227,000 equivalent album units earned following its release on March 8, Eternal Sunshine easily soared to the top of the Billboard 200 chart. It’s Grande’s sixth studio album to do so, and it scored the largest week of 2024 for any album so far.
“We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)” was released as the album’s second single, and it hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart this week with 32.6 million streams, 4.6 million radio airplay audience impressions, and 9,000 in sales, setting several records along the way.
Grande managed to surpass Taylor Swift as the female artist with the most Hot 100 debut with seven. “We Can’t Be Friends” is her second single from Eternal Sunshine to debut at No. 1, following the success of “Yes, And?”, helping her become the first female artist that managed to produce multiple No. 1 debuting singles on the Hot 100 with two different albums.

]]>The post 2024 Glastonbury Festival: SZA, Coldplay, & Dua Lipa Among Headliners appeared first on EverydayKoala.
]]>Coldplay’s headlining spot will be quite history-making because they’re the first act to lead the bill for the fifth time. They impressed the audience at the Worthy Farm with amazing performances in 2002, 2005, 2011, and 2016, and their latest headlining spot will be a part of their ongoing Music of the Spheres World Tour.
Dua Lipa and SZA will also make Glastonbury history by each other’s side. This year’s festival will be the very first with two female headliners, and expectations are running high. Lipa will drop her third studio album Radical Optimism in May, while SZA is getting ready to share the reissue of her hit sophomore album SOS, titled Lana.
Glastonbury will return to Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset between June 26-30, and the rest of the lineup is as impressive as the headlining trio. LCD Soundsystem, Camilla Cabello, Shania Twain, Janelle Monáe, The National, and Avril Lavigne are among the performers hitting the stage this year.

]]>The post Dua Lipa’s Shares Major Information About Her New Album “Radical Optimism” appeared first on EverydayKoala.
]]>Lipa has been teasing the release of Radical Optimism since last fall when she gave us a taste of things to come with the lead single “Houdini”. Many months have passed since, and she finally shared all the important info about this album, including its title, release date, tracklist, and cover.
The cover art shows Lipa relaxing in the ocean while a shark swims around her, and it perfectly conveys the thought behind its title Radical Optimism.
“A couple of years ago, a friend introduced me to the term Radical Optimism […] and I became more curious as I started to play with it and weave it into my life. It struck me – the idea of going through chaos gracefully and feeling like you can weather any storm,” said Lipa in a statement.
Radical Optimism will come out on May 3, and it will feature 11 brand-new songs. “Houdini” was released as its lead single, followed by “Training Season”, which Lipa teased during her performance at this year’s Grammy Awards.

]]>The post Beyoncé’s Upcoming Country Album Will Be Called “Cowboy Carter” appeared first on EverydayKoala.
]]>Beyoncé’s next LP was initially known as Act II because it was announced as the second installment of the three-part project which also includes its predecessor Renaissance. This record is now just two weeks away and Queen B finally announced its official title: Cowboy Carter.
She teased its release with an image of a saddle with metallic details, which takes center stage on her official website. This image isn’t the official album cover, and it most likely marks the singer’s artistic transition to country from the disco sound of Renaissance since the cover of this album showed her riding a silver horse with a bedazzled saddle.
Cowboy Carter will hit the shelves on March 29, and Beyoncé gave us a taste of things to come with singles “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages”. “Texas Hold ‘Em” made quite a splash following its release and topped both the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs charts, becoming the first song by a Black woman to top the latter chart.

]]>Grande’s new album was named after Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and she celebrated her love for this film in her latest music video. The Christian Breslauer-directed visual opens with Grande’s character Paches undergoing the procedure to erase her ex-boyfriend (Evan Peters) from her mind and relieve all the great memories they’ve shared.
Grande took to social media to express gratitude to both Peters and Breslauer for making this video a labor of love. She thanked them “for creating such a safe space, for holding [her] hand, and for thoughtfully bringing this entire album to life with this one video.”
“We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)” serves as the second single from Grande’s new seventh studio album Eternal Sunshine, released on March 8 via Republic Records. She teased its release with the lead single “Yes, And?”, which hit the shelves in early January and became her sixth song to debut atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

]]>The post Selena Gomez Turns Her “Love On” in Her Latest Music Video appeared first on EverydayKoala.
]]>Helmed by French director Greg Ohrel, the video opens with Gomez standing on the stairs, stuck between a group of kissing couples. As the video progresses, we get to see her change a series of glam outfits, serving some major Parisian chic, drawing inspiration from the time she recently spent in the City of Light.
“Love On” is the singer’s first release since last year’s “Single Soon”, which was released as a standalone single. She previously dropped hints about her new album in an interview with Vogue Mexico and described it as a real pop record with an R&B moment.
Gomez’s fans should savor each new song she shares with the world because it’s just a matter of time before she stops. During a recent appearance on the SmartLess podcast, the singer said she only has one more album left in her, adding she’s planning to focus on acting afterward. She already set this plan in motion and booked a role in the upcoming Linda Ronstadt biopic, in addition to co-leading the Hulu series Only Murders in the Building.
