OHMYGOSSIP — Olivia Rodrigo has confirmed her second studio album will be released on September 8th.
The 20-year-old singer-songwriter will drop ‘Guts’ later this year, a follow up to her first album ‘Sour’, which earned her three Grammy Awards and went four-times platinum after it was released in May 2021.
Olivia said in a statement: “For me, this album is about growing pains and trying to figure out who I am at this point in my life.
“I feel like I grew 10 years between the ages of 18 and 20 – it was such an intense period of awkwardness and change.
“I think that’s all just a natural part of growth, and hopefully the album reflects that.”
She wrote on Instagram: “my sophomore album GUTS comes out september 8th. i am so proud of this record and I can’t wait to share it with you all! u can presave it now! xoxoxoxo (sic)”
Olivia also thanked her fans for all their “support and enthusiasm” over the past few years.
She wrote on her Instagram Story: “so excited about this new album and this new chapter. i cant thank you guys enough for all of your support and enthusiasm. making this album was very fun, and very fulfilling. i cant wait for it to be yours. here’s to all the good times ahead [black heart emojis] (sic)”
Earlier this month, Olivia confirmed she will return with her first new music since the record-breaking ‘Sour’, when she drops new single ‘Vampire’ on June 30.
Olivia recently teased that her second LP is “so close to being done”.
Marking the two-year milestone, she wrote on Instagram: “oh man oh man oh man. SOUR turns 2 years old today. no words could ever describe how much this album means to me and how insanely grateful I feel for every blessing it has brought into my life. the new stuff is so so so so so close to being done I pinky promise.

OHMYGOSSIP — Sir Elton John has seen a huge spike in streaming since his Glastonbury headline set.
The ‘Rocket Man’ legend delivered a stellar show at Worthy Farm on Sunday (25.06.23) night for what may end up being his last ever UK performance, and Spotify has revealed its immediate impact.
According to the streaming platform’s round up after the festival, streams of Sir Elton’s songs rose by 294 percent across the UK in the hour after his set.
Meanwhile, Saturday headliners Guns N’ Roses kicked off their show with ‘It’s So Easy’, and the song saw a 300 percent increase the following day.
Friday night headliners Arctic Monkeys have been recognised by Spotify as the artists with the most tracks appearing on user-generated Glastonbury playlists.
Elsewhere on the festival bill, Rick Astley – who made his Worthy Farm debut – saw a 294 percent spike in streams of ‘Dance’ across the UK.
As well as delivering his own special solo set – completed with a cover of Harry Styles’ hit ‘As It Was’ – he also joined Blossoms for a show filled entirely with The Smiths songs.
Rina Sawayama – who joined Sir Elton as one of his four special guests on Sunday night – performed her own set on the Woodsies Stage the previous day.
Her music saw a big rise in global and UK streams on the Sunday, rising by 55 and 99 percent respectively.
Her song ‘STFU’ – which she dedicated to Matty Healy – rose by 552 percent across the UK, and 399 percent around the world.
Lewis Capaldi and Yusuf/Cat Stevens also saw rises over the weekend.
Spotify noted that over 23,000 fan-created playlists were made with Glastonbury in the title over the last week.
Across those playlists, the most popular track was ‘Rocket Man’ – which appeared on 7,311 on them – while Lizzo’s track ‘About Damn Time’ followed closely behind in more than 7,000.

OHMYGOSSIP — Icona Pop have announced their first new album in 10 years.
The Swedish electropop duo – which formed back in 2009 and is made up of Aino Jawo and Caroline Hjelt – are returning with ‘Club Romantech’, which will drop a decade after their second studio LP ‘This Is… Icona Pop’ which was released in September 2013.
The ‘I Love It’ hitmakers will release the hotly anticipated album on September 1 via Ultra Records and will include confirmed collaborations with Sofi Tukker, Joel Corry, Galantis, Ultra Nate and Yaeger. Their single ‘Where Do We Go From Here?’ is out now.
Announcing the album, they said: “Where Do We Go From Here’ was one of the first songs we wrote in the fall of 2020 after realizing we couldn’t move back to LA because of the pandemic.
“Back in Stockholm, we formed a small crew to start making music and thought ‘what the f*** are we going to do now?’ “Eclectic, fun, hard, pop, deep, mainstream, catchy, weird, late at night, early in the morning – always with a tear in the corner of the eye and a smile on our face. That’s how ‘Where Do We Go From Here’ feels and that’s how ‘Club Romantech’ feels too.”
Hjelt added: “As Icona Pop, we can release a pop tune or a super hard dance song, and that’s who we are.
“When we started to write this album, we didn’t have any rules. We just had a vision we wanted to share with our fans. We’re inviting them into our world.”
Aino spilled that new songs are inspired by “heartbreaks and sadness” but disguised as dance tunes, saying: “We put all of our problems and stress into what we’re doing.
“We love disguising our heartbreaks and sadness in uplifting songs you can dance to. It was a very emotional process, and it’s all in the music.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Stereophonics singer Kelly Jones has no “plans to slow down” and has vowed he has a lot more music to make.
The 49-year-old singer/songwriter – who has Colby, 18 and Misty, 12 by his ex-partner, fashion designer Rebecca Walters, and two children, Riley, six and Marley, three, with his wife, MTV producer Jakki Healy, 42 – says being a dad doesn’t slow him down as he’s just as driven if not determined to carry on pursuing his musical dream.
Recently, Kelly started a new side project Far From Saints with US musicians Patty Lynn and Dwight Baker of The Wind and The Wave, and the trio released their self-titled debut album back in March.
Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper’s Wired column, he said: “I don’t think I want to slow down anytime soon.
“If anything, I am frustrated that I can’t get the produce that I want in my life. Because I am a father of four and there is just so much responsibility in my life, it is a big juggling act.
“I know what I want to do. Will I ever get to do it all? I don’t really know.
“But beginning to do it, with Patty, this makes me feel good. Doing this project made me feel good.
“The clock has to get set earlier and earlier every day. I am not Mark Wahlberg but it’s dark every time I get up.
“I like having kids and I like the responsibility that comes with it, but it knackers you out sometimes.”
The side project emerged after Kelly began trading musical influences and harmonising with Patty backstage when The Wind and The Wave toured with Stereophonics.
He said: “I sing completely differently on this record as Patty is kind of the high range so I am the low range. This was a different approach vocally and it has been fun. In the Stereophonics, I kind of do it all.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kim Petras was “very impressed” with the way Sam Smith “handled” being heavily trolled for their “satanic” ensembles and appearance.
The pop stars hit the headlines after their Grammys and BRIT Awards performances earlier this year when the pair caused a stir with their hell-themed rendition of ‘Unholy’.
And it led to Sam being mocked for their appearance, but Kim says the ‘I’m Not Here To Make Friends’ singer takes it all on the chin and has shown her how to deal with negativity.
Speaking to Metro.co.uk, Kim said: “It was an incredible journey truly, I had so much fun with Sam and I think we together felt very strong on stage and gave each other lots of confidence.
“I feel like I’ve learned a lot from Sam regarding how to handle media and people commenting on your appearance, looks, your body. People were really harsh to Sam but I was very impressed to see how Sam handled all of that and didn’t let it get close.
“It’s so tough sometimes, you go through comments or press stuff and you’re like, oh my God everyone hates me. But give it a few hours, touch grass and breathe and let it go by.”
And Kim – who has just released her new album ‘Feed The Beast’ – would love to collaborate with Sam again if the right song comes along and said she was a huge fan of their Madonna duet, ‘VULGAR’.
She gushed: “They’re just a really truly talented, gifted artist who really writes and cares about the music. I love working with those kinds of artists.”
Kim added: “I would love to collaborate again and whatever I do next get Sam on. It’s got to be the right song. This song came along after a few years of talking about collaborating and the song was just right.
“I would be honoured and would love to.”

OHMYGOSSIP — John Lydon’s PiL have shared a new song about “a mad lunatic” on the run.
‘Car Chase’ is the latest track to be taken from Public Image Ltd.’s upcoming LP ‘End of World’.
Speaking about the new track – the video for which provides insight into the recording of the new album alongside handwritten lyrics by the frontman – Lydon said: “Typical PiL, unpredictable to the last. It’s a fantastic smash-and-grab of a song. It’s about someone who cleverly breaks out of the mental institution every night, unbeknownst to his owners. It’s based on having to go to shopping malls at night for cigarettes and wine and seeing the vast car park space and lighting surrounded by a little village and a lot of dark trees and country lanes. It’s a really creepy scenario, what if somebody creeps out of there, like a mad lunatic?”
The first single was ‘Hawaii’, a love letter to his beloved late wife Nora, who Lydon was the primary carer of up until her passing in April and was married to for more than five decades.
The punk rock idol said at the time: “It is dedicated to everyone going through tough times on the journey of life, with the person they care for the most.
“It’s also a message of hope that ultimately love conquers all.”
It was a ‘Eurovision’ entry for Ireland; however, they didn’t get chosen to represent the country in the end, with Ireland being represented by Wild Youth and their track ‘We Are One’.
He said: “Nora loved the album, she wouldn’t have wanted us to postpone it or change any of our plans.”
Another track, ‘Penge’, which he hailed as “something of a Medieval Viking epic”, followed.
The 13-track LP is released in full on August 11.

OHMYGOSSIP — Arctic Monkeys are set for their Glastonbury headline slot tonight (23.06.23), after a few days of it being touch-and-go if they’d perform due to frontman Alex Turner’s acute laryngitis. 
Festival organiser Emily Eavis admitted it was getting “a little bit close there for a minute”, after the indie veterans cancelled a show earlier in the week due to the singer’s sore throat, but he’s recovered in time to top the Pyramid Stage at Worthy Farm and they no longer need to rely on a “backup plan”.
Emily told ‘The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show’ on BBC Radio 2 and BBC Sounds, hours before their set: “He’s definitely – they’re on.”
A relieved Zoe replied: “Yes! The Arctic Monkeys are a go people! Thank goodness.”
 Emily continued: “It was a little bit close there for a minute and we were thinking about whether we should have a serious backup plan in place but no, thankfully they’re on so that is great.”
The rockers had to cancel their show at Dublin’s Marley Park on Tuesday night (20.06.23).
The ‘Mardy Bum’ hitmakers said sorry to fans after pulling out of their Irish gig.
A social media statement posted on Sunday (19.06.23) read: “We are extremely sorry to announce the cancellation of Arctic Monkeys’ show at Marley Park in Dublin Tomorrow.
“Alex and the band apologise for the huge disappointment this will inevitably cause to all their Irish fans. Full refunds will be credited back to the ticket purchaser’s account by Ticketmaster within the next six working days.”
Meanwhile, Sir Elton John is reportedly planning to bring Taron Egerton onstage during his Glastonbury performance.
The ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’ singer, 76, headlines on Sunday (25.06.23) and Taron, 33, who portrayed Elton in the 2019 biopic ‘Rocketman’ is said to be one of four special guests who will pop up in the show.
A source told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “Elton is going to give the performance of a lifetime at Glastonbury and has lined up some surprises for his fans at Worthy Farm. “Taron will be coming out to sing alongside Elton after befriending him while making the film.
“The final plans are being kept a closely guarded secret but rehearsals are taking place and Elton has planned an entirely new set, different from the one on his tour, for the show.”
Elton’s husband and manager David Furnish, 60,  teased the performance by telling Sky New: “Four collaborators of (Elton’s) choosing. People he just thought, ‘I’d really like to do something with these artists at Glastonbury’.
“And that’s all I’m going to say. This one is very special. It’s not just another day in the office. It’s a different set-list, it’s a huge outdoor live festival.
“He’s got four different collaborators joining him on stage at different times, who I won’t name, sorry.
“So he’s done a lot of changes. (He has) a lot on his plate, so I think he’s anxious. But I think good anxious, healthy anxious.”
Elton has collaborated with Rina Sawayama, 32, and Years and Years in recent years, and Lady Gaga is godmother to his and David’s two sons – Zachary, 12, and 10-year-old Elijah – but it is not known who the other three guests are.
The Sun added that it won’t include Dua Lipa, 27, who sang with Elton on hit single ‘Cold Heart’.
Britney Spears also teamed up with the music legend on ‘Hold Me Closer’.

OHMYGOSSIP — Anitta has released the modern Brazilian funk tune, ‘Funk Rave’.
The Latin superstar has shared her first single since signing to Republic Records in partnership with Universal Music Latin Entertainment.
Anitta said: “All the music I’ve been making for the past year is music I’m so proud of. It’s both incredibly Brazilian and intentionally international – I made sure it sounds like me in every fiber of the music. Brazilian funk is my roots. It’s what I was born and raised doing. It’s home to me. I made this new music with the intention of showing everyone those roots, what’s most important to me, and leading with ‘Funk Rave’ does exactly that.”
The 30-year-old star gave the song its live debut at the Opening Ceremony of the UEFA Champions League Finals in Istanbul, Turkey, earlier this month.
It went down so well with fans that she decided to release it.
The singer-and-actress – whose real name is Larissa de Macedo Machado – recently left major label Warner Music after 11 years after complaining that they were not properly promoting her single ‘Envolver’.
In a joint statement, the label and artist said in April: “After eleven years of successful partnership, we’ve agreed to go our separate ways.
“Anitta would like to thank the Warner Music team for all their support. And the Warner team wishes Anitta all the best in future.”
And she claimed they told her ‘Envolver’ wouldn’t be a hit without getting a major artist featured on it.
Meanwhile, Sam Smith recently teased their “special” collaboration with Anitta.
The pair are poised to release a yet-to-be-announced song together, and Sam, 31, heaped praise on their collaborator.
Sam told Harper’s BAZAAR: “Anitta’s energy is amazing.
“We connected immediately, and it just made the collaboration feel so special that there was genuine friendship there.”
The ‘Unholy’ hitmaker added how Anitta had a “clear vision” for their duet.

OHMYGOSSIP — Tom Grennan gets “anxiety poos” before going onstage.
The ‘How Does It Feel’ hitmaker suffers from stage fright and has to take many trips to the toilet before his set, but once he hears the “roar” of the crowd, it all goes away.
In an interview with The Sun newspaper, he said: “I still get nervous, don’t get me wrong.
And I think nerves are good to have. Because if you’re not nervous, you don’t care. But when I’m up there on stage, it’s my happy place.”
He then quipped: “The hours beforehand are when I get nervous. The anxiety poos are real — the number of times I go to the loo is crazy.
“But as soon as I’m on stage and I hear the roar of people, then I feel at home.”
The 28-year-old star has sought therapy to help with his negative thoughts and loves “flipping them”.
He explained: “Therapy’s been a massive help, and I think it works for me.
“Just being able to navigate my thoughts which are a little bit like the ocean, they come in and they go out. And it’s just allowing them weird, crazy and frightening thoughts to come in and I love flipping things too. Oh my God, I can’t do that. Yeah, I can do that.”
Although the ‘Lionheart’ singer likes being the “underdog”, he hopes his career will follow the trajectories of Robbie Williams, Sir Elton John and Coldplay.
He said: “People will say to me. ‘Oh, you’re doing all right at the moment’.
“And I’m like, hold on a minute. Fair enough. But I’m not just doing all right. I’m doing f***ing really well.
“And I’m not saying this in a way to feel sorry for me, because I enjoy being the underdog.
“I want this career to be a long one like Robbie Williams or Elton John. I don’t want to be here today and when I’m older, telling people I had that back in the day. I want to be like Coldplay.”

OHMYGOSSIP — The Weeknd, BLACKPINK star Jennie and Lily-Rose Depp have shared the song ‘One Of The Girls’ from ‘The Idol’.
The 27-year-old K-Pop star and the 33-year-old global megastar play backup dancer Dyanne and cult leader Tedros, respectively, in the current streaming HBO drama series co-created by The Weeknd, ‘Euphoria’ scribe Sam Levinson and Reza Fahim.
Lily-Rose leads the cast starring as troubled pop star Jocelyn.
Jennie previously shared a snippet of the unreleased track.
The preview was played during a DJ set at the launch of Jennie’s capsule collection for Calvin Klein in South Korea on Wednesday (10.05.23) and appeared on TikTok.
Jennie also excited fans by sharing an article by Dazed Korea with the song clip featured.
The Weeknd has already released ‘Double Fantasy’, which features rapper Future, and ‘Popular’ with Madonna and Playboi Carti from the soundtrack.
Plus, ‘World Class Sinner/I’m A Freak’ and ‘The Lure’ with Lily-Rose.
Meanwhile, the star of the show recently defended the sex scenes, insisting they are “so important” to the story.
The 24-year-old actress – who portrays an international pop star whose career is on shaky ground when she suffers a nervous breakdown – had no hesitation about shooting the controversial intimate moments because she was made to feel very comfortable on set and she knew they were vital to the plot.
Asked if she was hesitant about the scenes, she told Britain’s HELLO! magazine: “Honestly, no, because those scenes are so important to the character and the story.
“I was really blessed to be surrounded by good people all the time.
“I really did feel as though they were listening to me and that they valued my opinions.”
Lily-Rose’s close relationship with The Weeknd – whose real name is Abel Tesfaye – helped put her at ease.
She explained: “We created this really strong bond because we were both stepping into new territory.
“I’m not a singer and he wasn’t an actor before this.
“I would get nervous about the singing and he would be there for me. He gave me the confidence to do things I wasn’t sure I could do.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Lizzo could have headlined Glastonbury.
Although the 35-year-old singer will still play the festival at Worthy Farm over the weekend, Emily Eavis – the youngest daughter of the festival’s founder Michael Eavis – revealed they tried to get Lizzo to headline but she confirmed too late.
Speaking to Anita Rani on Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour, Emily said: “Lizzo confirmed way after.
“So when people think, ‘Why didn’t you put her there?’ it doesn’t really work like that.
“It would have been a great idea. Lizzo would have been an amazing headliner and hopefully she will headline.”
There was controversy earlier this year when the line-up was revealed with all-male headliners.
Arctic Monkeys, Guns N’ Roses and Sir Elton John are headlining, with Lizzo performing just before Guns N’ Roses.
Defending the festival, Emily told Glamour: “I think everyone knows that we’re trying harder than most, certainly extremely hard to address (the gender balance of acts), and I’ve been very vocal about it.
“I’m trying my best and, believe me, it’s a real, passionate subject of mine. I’ve been trying to raise the flag around gender and festivals for a long time. But we can only do so much.
“I just do what I think is right. Because I don’t have an agenda, I’m just trying to do the best thing for the festival and make it as fair and equal and brilliant as possible.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Harry Styles wants to record a song with Scouting for Girls’ Roy Stride.
The ‘She’s So Lovely’ hitmaker used to pen tracks for the ‘Watermelon Sugar’ singer’s old band One Direction, and while he didn’t think the pop superstar would remember him when their paths crossed recently, he was delighted when Harry suggested they work together again.
Roy told Heat magazine: “[I used to hang out with] bands like One Direction and 5 Seconds of Summer, because I worked with them to write some songs for their albums.
“People would be pleased to know that they were always absolute joys.
“I actually bumped into Harry Styles in LA in a restaurant a couple of years ago.
“I assumed he wouldn’t remember me, so I didn’t go over, but he actually came up to me and said we should get back in the studio together.”
At the height of his own band’s chart success, Roy didn’t think they “deserved” it.
He said: “I used to think about how little we deserved all the success that we were having.
“There’s so much luck involved in making it in the music industry and it’s not always fair.”
But now, the singer believes social media has made it much easier for any aspiring musician to have a platform.
He said: “Now I would tell my younger self anybody can make music.
“Yes I have a nice shiny studio now, but I could do all this with a laptop.
“Social media has made music more accessible for everyone and therefore better – so you’ve got to work really hard to create really good music.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Tom Grennan credits “clean living” with his success.
The 28-year-old singer is excited to play The Other Stage at Glastonbury this weekend and believes his run of successes comes from taking care of himself.
Speaking to The Sun’s Bizarre column, he said: “This is the biggest weekend of my career.
“I couldn’t be more excited, nervous, a bit of everything. But it’s brilliant.
“I’ve been on a real push lately — looking after myself physically, clean living for a while. And it’s paid off.
“I saw every mistake I’ve ever made has been after too much partying, living too hard.”
However, he has vowed not to completely change his ways.
Tom added: “That said, it’s Glastonbury. So after I’ve performed, I’ll buy you a pint, as long as it goes well! I’m not changing things too much.”
Tom recently topped the album charts with his third record, ‘What Ifs Maybes’ and he credits his Italian Pilates instructor girlfriend Danniella Carraturo with keeping him grounded.
Speaking about playing live, he told the Sunday World newspaper: “It’s a magical thing, I can’t really explain what it’s like. It’s just in the moment and that’s why I like gigs, they are all in the moment…the moment is what it’s all about.
“And then you come off stage and think, ‘I can’t believe I just did that!’…and it’s back to normal life.
“It is weird when you come off tour where you’ve had thousands of people screaming and shouting and singing, and then you come home and your missus goes. ‘Will you go to the shops and get a loaf of bread.’ It’s a completely different end of the scale, it’s a bit mad.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Lana Del Rey had her Glastonbury set cut short after starting her performance 30 minutes late.
The ‘Summertime Sadness’ singer kept fans at the Park Stage waiting for half an hour beyond her scheduled start time, then bizarrely blamed the fact she was getting her hair done for her tardiness – only for her hairdresser to appear on stage to finish tending to her tresses as she sang.
After performing ‘Cherry’, Lana said: “Thank you so much, I’m so happy to be here.’
“I was so f****** late and I am about to rush this set.
“If they cut power, they cut power, I’m super f***ing sorry. My hair takes so long to do.
“Let’s keep on running the set as it’s supposed to go.”
As she sat down to perform, her hairstylist came on stage to come out her elaborate up-do and let her locks loose.
The 37-year-old star’s set had been due to end at 11.45pm, but was still going on more than 15 minutes later and because of the site’s curfew, her microphone was then cut mid-performance as she sang ‘White Mustang’.
After some moments of confusion, Lana had discussions with someone on stage, and then mouthed the words: “I’m sorry”.
The audience booed and chanted: “Let her sing!”
But Lana then organised her fans into a sing-a-long of her 2012 hit ‘Video Games’ and walked down to the crowd to take photos and sign autographs for fans.
The ‘Born to Die’ singer had previously expressed her unhappiness that the line-up poster for the festival didn’t make it clear she had one of the top slots at the event.
Pyramid Stage headliners Arctic Monkeys, Guns N’ Roses and Sir Elton John were listed at the top of the promotional poster alongside Lizzo – who organiser Emily Eavis said would have headlined if the ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ hitmakers hadn’t already been promised top billing – and then the rest of the acts mentioned in alphabetical order.
Lana wrote on Instagram: “Well, I’m actually headlining the 2nd stage. But since there was no consideration for announcing that we’ll see.”
A source close to the star admitted she was “disappointed” and felt “let down”.
The insider told The Sun on Sunday newspaper’s Bizarre column: “Lana is disappointed. She was proud to be doing a headline slot, but on the announcement graphic her name is buried among lesser-known artists.
“She feels let down being presented as an afterthought lagging behind the all-male trio.”
