BEP's New Album Features Shakira, Maluma & Becky G One of the few good things to happen in 2020 is the resurgence of The Black Eyed Peas. The iconic hip-hop/pop outfit landed a massive streaming hit with the J Balvin-assisted "Ritmo (Bad Boys for Life)" — climbing all the way to number 26 on the Billboard Hot 100. They followed it up with another Latin-flavored banger called "Mamacita," which samples Madonna's "La Isla Bonita." It is shaping up to... Hilary Duff's Blissful 'Breathe In. Breathe Out.' Era Remember when Hilary Duff briefly saved pop in 2015 with the magnificent Breathe In. Breathe Out. and then bounced? I sure do. After a couple of false starts (the actually very good "Chasing The Sun" and "All About You"), the original Ex Act finally got the ball rolling with "Sparks." That song underperformed and the entire era was prematurely cut short — proving once and for all that we can't have... Interview: Anuel AA Talks 'Emmanuel' LP & Collabs After conquering the reggaeton scene with a steady stream of hits, Anuel AA is poised for a massive crossover in 2020. The Puerto Rican star cracked the top 10 of the Billboard 200 with Emmanuel, his star-studded sophomore LP, and just released two massive collaborations. He teams up with Bad Bunny on "Hasta Que Dios Diga," which is a phenomenon on YouTube (135 million views and climbing), and joins... 10 Years Of Christina Aguilera's 'Bionic' Time has been exceptionally kind to Christina Aguilera's Bionic. Both in regards to the way the music has held up and how the album is perceived. Today, on its 10th anniversary, Bionic is synonymous with a misunderstood era that was radically ahead of its time. Which is quite a turn-around from 2010. The album's venomous reception is pop canon at this point. Critics were confused by her transition... Protest Songs Surge On Streaming Services With hundreds of thousands of citizens taking to the streets to protest the murder of George Floyd, protest songs are surging on streaming services. The unofficial soundtrack of the movement is Childish Gambino's 2018 chart-topper, "This Is America." The Grammy-winning anthem re-entered the global Spotify chart at number seven, racking up more than three million streams in the last 24 hours. Other... Britney Spears' Flawless 'Femme Fatale' Era Femme Fatale stands out as Britney Spears' last fully-promoted era. The pop icon gave us TV performances, headlined awards shows, toured the world and attended events on a regular basis. She also served hit after hit. From "Hold It Against Me" to "I Wanna Go," Femme Fatale was stacked. Britney even signed on for a season of The X Factor in 2012, which aired after the last FF single was rolled out.... Should Have Been Bigger: Christina Aguilera' "Telepathy" In this franchise, we look back on songs that deserved a little more love and attention.Let's be honest. The vast majority of Christina Aguilera's post-Back To Basics output should have been bigger. Bionic is now widely regarded as a misunderstood classic, Lotus has its fair share of underrated gems and the commercial fate of Liberation beggars belief. However, there's one chart injustice that irritates... New Find: Seraphina Simone's Bittersweet "Cherry" Seraphina Simone makes a great first impression with a dreamy, gently acidic song about consumerism called "Cherry." The Brit, who is the daughter of Terrence Trent D'Arby, proves to be something of an alchemist on her debut — mixing modern alt-pop with a synth-sensibility grounded in the '80s. "Coat me in sugar, so I slip down sweet," she begins the track. "Baby, I'll whisper to you while you sleep."... Interview: Dagny Talks 'Strangers / Lovers' LP Since breaking through with "Backbeat" in 2016, Dagny has put together one of the most compelling discographies in dance-pop. From the tongue-in-cheek naughtiness that is "Wearing Nothing" to the sugary pop perfection of "Love You Like That," the Norwegian hitmaker never fails to deliver a toe-tapping rush of emotion. That description is particularly true of her debut album, Strangers / Lovers. The... Interview: Kim Petras Talks "Malibu" & New Era After releasing two albums and half a dozen stand-alone singles in 2019, Kim Petras would be forgiven taking it easy this year. But the German pop star doesn't have an off-switch. Instead, she kicked off 2020 by bidding adieu to the Clarity era with "Reminds Me" and just-released "Malibu" as the first taste of her next project. A bright and breezy pop anthem that evokes vintage Madonna and Prince,... Interview: ALMA Talks 'Have U Seen Her?' & Quarantine Since breaking internationally with "Dye My Hair" in 2016, ALMA has carved out a reputation as one of pop's true non-conformists. At a time when bangers sound increasingly cookie-cutter, the Finn brings a punk sensibility to the dance floor — experimenting with genre, speaking her truth and generally breaking all the rules. Her no-fucks approach is on full display on Have U Seen Her?. ALMA's long-awaited... Album Review: Selena Gomez's 'Rare' Is A Pop Revelation Selena Gomez first started tinkering away at the followup up to Revival in 2016. The superstar converted a tourbus into a mobile studio and invited along a group of songwriters and producers to record demos between concerts. Unfortunately, life got in the way and they were never released (with the exception of "Feel Me"). Since then, Selena has experimented with different sounds on a steady stream... Interview: Melanie Martinez Talks "Play Date" A slow-burn hit is one thing, going viral with a song first released in 2015 is something else entirely. However, that's the situation Melanie Martinez finds herself in with "Play Date." The punchy pop anthem, which started life as a bonus track on the digital edition of Cry Baby, exploded out of the blue in April after being embraced by TikTok users. "Play Date" has now amassed more than 80 million... Album Review: Dua Lipa's Pop-Elevating 'Future Nostalgia' Dua Lipa is the hero we need in 2020. And she's doing everything right. In a time of global uncertainty, the 24-year-old brings a breath a fresh air with the release of her sophomore album Future Nostalgia. Out March 27 (one week ahead of schedule), the collection provides respite from the glut of negative energy. Suffice to say, there's no sophomore slump here. Instead, the Best New Artist Grammy... Interview: JoJo Talks 'Good To Know' & Personal Growth JoJo is back with the best album of her career, and she made it on her own terms. Good To Know is a throwback not only to the raw emotion of her mixtapes, but also to a time when R&B was more about setting a mood and telling a story than squeezing a couple of singles between studio offcuts. Over the course of 9 songs on the standard edition (there are 11 on the physical release), the 29-year-old takes...
