With the release of her empowerment anthem “Future Starts Now” last Friday, the German-born pop singer Kim Petras declared the beginning of a promising, glittering new musical era.

Blu Announces New Album The Color Blu(e), Shares “People Call Me Blu(e)”: Stream
Blu has announced the new — or should that be n(e)w? — album The Color Blu(e). The record is due out September 24th, and every song will come with the word ‘blu(e),’ including lead single “People Call Me Blu(e).” “This album is the ultimate cartoon series about myself,” Blu explained in a statement. “The Color Blu(e) is the cool breeze. Another day in the life of being Blu.” Produced by Exile, “Call Me Blu(e)” is a bracing reintroduction to Blu’s sample-forward, golden age throwback sound. Lyrically, the onetime J Dilla collaborator mocks people who try too hard while also sending up his own complacency. “Blue is the color of the sky today,” he spits, “And mostly everyday when you live in LA/ The problem is the smog can make the city turn grey/ And we all know that ain’t go...

Vince Neil Tried Out Fat-Burning Procedure Ahead of Motley Crüe Tour

Bop Shop: Songs By Halsey, Selena Gomez, Rosalía, Chloe Lilac, And More
It’s been nearly 40 years since the Swedish quartet released any new music, but that changed this week when ABBA announced that their new album, Voyage, will be available in November, along with a live concert experience starring digital ABBAtars premiering next year. To hold us over until then, the band dropped two new songs, “I Still Have Faith In You” and “Don’t Shut Me Down.” The first track is a lush personal piano ballad about the bandmates’ enduring bond that’s still strong after all these years. But it’s the second song that will unleash your inner dancing queen. “Don’t Shut Me Down” is classic disco ABBA that sounds like a mix of “When All Is Said and Done” and “If It Wasn’t For the Nights,” two of their best and most underrated songs. —Chris Rudolph You Deserve to Make Money Even...
