From Beyoncé to Justin Bieber, Here Are Ed Sheeran’s 8 Best Collaborations

Ed Sheeran feat. Beyoncé, “Perfect Duet” The song’s title is an understatement of its performance. Sheeran and Queen Bey’s raw vocals mixed together on top of an acoustic guitar are the three simple ingredients to this sweeping romantic ballad. Their tender harmony for the last round of the chorus is exactly what a couple during the first dance of their wedding needs to hear. “Perfect” climbed to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on the strength of the Beyoncé remix in December 2017. Taylor Swift feat. Ed Sheeran, “Everything Has Changed” Swift and Sheeran are dusting off their “Everything Has Changed” duet and re-recording it for Red (Taylor’s Version), but we just hope it opens up the doors to more (new) hits betwee...

Billie Eilish Describes the ‘Crazy Process’ of Recording ‘Happier Than Ever’ Album

The dark single is the fifth release ahead of Eilish’s highly anticipated album, out July 30 via Darkroom/Interscope Records. And in the self-directed video, the muscle car-loving 19-year-old hangs out on a desert highway at night as two dozen professional stunt drivers skillfully weave around her. She told Lowe that there was originally a completely different concept for the visual, but that it all fell apart due to some unnamed “complications and it didn’t work out. But it was OK, because we then had deadlines and I was like, ‘OK, OK. OK, think,'” she said. ” I was like, ‘What am I going to do?’… And I figured it out. It’s definitely one of the coolest videos I’ve ever made in my life.” ...

Alessia Cara Shares Advice For Olivia Rodrigo, Talks Dropping Two Singles

“I’ve always struggled with falling asleep my whole life, and being in quarantine, being alone, I didn’t have a lot going on in my life, so I was like, ‘I need to write about this,'” she says. She adds that the other song, “Shapeshifter,” is even more personal for her, as she got to work with her idol Amy Winehouse’s producer, Salaam Remi Gibbs, on it. “I got to write it in the room and house where she [Winehouse] wrote all of Back to Black — which was so crazy for me,” says Cara. “It was just one of those full circle, beautiful, magical moments. Working with Salaam was amazing because they were so close.” The 24-year-old singer has been on a rocket ride to fame since gaining attention in her late teens, a disorienting journey tha...

Amy Grant Feels ‘Nothing But Gratitude’ for Blockbuster ‘Heart in Motion’ Album, 30 Years Later

Grant, who has won 26 Dove Awards, is credited with putting Christian music on the map as the first contemporary Christian artist to have a platinum record, the first to hit No. 1 on the pop charts and the first to perform at the Grammys. When she donned a leopard-print blazer on the cover of 1985’s Unguarded album and scored her first pop hit “Find a Way,” Grant’s move into mainstream music brought criticism from fans who felt she should stick to Christian music. Grant followed with 1988’s Lead Me On, which has been dubbed by CCM magazine as the greatest Christian album of all time, but she didn’t let public opinion sway her from developing a more expansive sound. Originally released March 5, 1991, Heart in Motion solidified her crossover success. The album received three Grammy nomi...

Ingham III and Loeb & Loeb “tendered their resignations” as Britney’s lawyers on Tuesday, according to court documents reviewed by The Hollywood Reporter.
