]]>With 35.6 million streams, 14.1 million radio airplay audience impressions, and 6,000 sales during its latest week on the chart, “Too Sweet” became Hozier’s first No. 1 hit in the US. It previously topped the charts in the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.
“Too Sweet” was released on March 22, as one of four songs from Hozier’s EP Unheard, a companion piece to his latest studio album Unreal Unearth. It initially debuted at No. 5 and became Hozier’s first top-ten hit in the US since “Take Me to Church”.
Hozier thanked fans for helping “Too Sweet” top the charts in a video on social media and said he’s been “both thrilled and taken massively by surprise by such a staggering reaction” to this song.
It was also a big week for Sabrina Carpenter on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Her new single “Espresso” is the highest-charting new entry at No. 7 and her first song to ever enter the top ten.

]]>Swift is no stranger to a good breakup album, and many of her previous releases inspired fan theories and wild speculations. That was also the case with The Tortured Poets Department, and many expected it to be inspired by the fallout of her long-term relations with Joe Alwyn, but Swift has given us something else entirely.
The album’s first track, the Post Malone collaboration “Fortnight”, chronicles a brief but powerful relationship that was always doomed to fail, and the rest of Tortured Poets follows a similar formula.
Instead of focusing on a single relationship, Swift explores heartbreak in all its messy stages, walking a fine line between viciousness and vulnerability. Tortured Poets is at its strongest when Swift is ready to bear her soul, and that’s why “So Long, London” stands out as one of its most powerful tracks.
Like many of the best songs on this album and its companion piece The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology, this song is produced by Aaron Dessner and not the album’s main producer Jack Antonoff. They had a pretty fruitful creative partnership for years, but Antonoff’s synth-pop tendencies don’t seem to be doing much for Swift’s sound anymore.
This is one of the biggest problems with Tortured Poets, which often sounds like an echo of her previous albums while lacking their best qualities. It has the vindictiveness of Reputation (“The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived”), the synth-pop sound of Midnights (“My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys”), storytelling strengths of Folklore and Evermore (“Clara Bow”), while still failing to measure up to any of them.
Like most of Swift’s recent albums, Tortured Poets will top the charts, break a few records – maybe even win a Grammy or two. That doesn’t change the fact it’s one of her messiest outputs in recent memory, but it’s fun to see she’s not afraid to step on the dark side, now that she’s got nothing to lose.

]]>Lipa’s new music video was shot at the Piscina Municipal de Montjuïc in Barcelona, and director Tanu Muino helped her bring her vision to life. A group of synchronized swimmers joins Lipa as she dances her heart out in several lush outfits, while singing about falling for an illusion.
In an official statement announcing this song, Lipa said “Illusion” is all “about knowing what you’re getting yourself into, but staying for the hell of it.” It was the first song she co-wrote alongside Caroline Ailin, Danny L. Harle, Tobias Jesso Jr., and Kevin Parker, and she felt her new album was finally coming together after they came up with it.
“Illusion” is the third single from Lipa’s upcoming album Radical Optimism, which was inspired by “the idea of going through chaos gracefully and feeling like you can weather any storm.” It will be released on May 3, and it was also preceded by singles “Houdini” and “Training Season”.

This strategy earned her millions of new followers, and it eventually culminated in the album announcement. She shared the cover of her next LP Hit Me Hard and Soft, which sees her floating underwater, and announced it will be released on May 17.
In an official statement announcing its release, Eilish described Hit Me Hard and Soft as her most daring body of work to date, adding it offers “a diverse yet cohesive collection of songs, ideally listened to in its entirety from beginning to end.”
2024 has been a pretty busy year for Eilish, even before the album announcement. She collected several awards alongside her brother Finneas O’Connell for their Barbie song “What Was I Made For?”, including their second Oscar for best original song.

]]>Vampire Weekend’s new album Only God Was Above Us has been five years in the making, and judging by what we’ve heard so far – it was worth waiting for.
Taylor Swift broke the internet when she announced the release of The Tortured Poets Department at the Grammys before sharing its 16-song tracklist, featuring A-list collabs with Post Malone and Florence and the Machine.
Rising star Benson Boone topped the charts around the world with his breakout hit “Beautiful Things”, and we can’t wait to hear what his debut album has in store.
Anitta is getting ready to go back to her Brazilian funk roots on her next album, and she gave us a taste of things to come with singles “Funk Rave”, “Mil Veces”, and “Joga pra Lua”.
Some of our favorite indie girls are gearing up for the release of new music this April, but St. Vincent’s All Born Screaming is definitely the most-anticipated new alternative release.

]]>The post Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” Will Make You Fall in Love With Country All Over Again appeared first on OMG Check It Out !.
]]>Cowboy Carter has often been referred to as Beyoncé’s country album, but she makes it clear it’s more than that from the very first song. The album’s gospel-infused opener “American Requiem” sees her opening up about not feeling at home on the country scene, while also making it clear she’s here to put down roots.
Her rendition of The Beatles’ “Blackbird” sees her bringing some of country’s overlooked Black female artists on board, but it’s not even the best cover this album has in store. Her take on Dolly Parton’s classic “Jolene” created quite a splash, and her bold interpretation sees her standing her ground and warning the titular heroine to back off.
Beyoncé did a great job championing other artists on Cowboy Carter, and amazing collaborations are one of its strongest suits. She brought everyone from Dolly Parton and Linda Martell to Post Malone and Shaboozey on board, but the Miley Cyrus duet “II Most Wanted” is definitely one of its shiniest moments.
Needless to say, Beyoncé also shows the moment of brilliance all on her own. In addition to previously released singles “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages”, she gave us several more amazing songs that cement Cowboy Carter as a masterpiece, starting with “Bodyguard” and “Protector”.
At 27 songs, Cowboy Carter never feels too long, because they work in perfect harmony, seeing Beyoncé masterfully weave a story about country’s Black roots, paying homage to those who came before her and made this genre what it is. It’s a perfect reminder that there’s truly nothing she can’t do, and it’s another tour de force in her unmatched discography.

]]>“I’m so obsessed with your ex,” sings Rodrigo in the song’s chorus, and the “Obsessed” music video perfectly captures its lyrics. She rocks a black dress and a sash that reads “Miss Right Now” to attend a ballroom party with a pretty interesting guest list.
As the video progresses, we meet a group of debutantes, wearing delicate white gowns, who all seem to have one thing in common. They are wearing sashes with such cheeky titles as “Miss Thought She Was the One,” “Miss 2 Summers Ago”, and “Miss Mom’s Favorite”, hinting they’re all exes of Rodrigo’s love interest.
“Obsessed” was initially only available on vinyl editions of Guts, before Rodrigo decided to release it as the lead single of the deluxe edition Guts (Spilled). It hit the shelves on March 22, and also features songs “Scared of My Guitar”, “Stranger”, and “Girl I’ve Always Been”.
Guts was originally released in September last year, and it scored six Grammy nominations, including album of the year and song and record of the year for its lead single “Vampire”.

Cardi B wanted to collaborate with Shakira for as long as she can remember, and she was ready to do whatever the Colombian singer asked her to appear in a music video by her side.
“I always look at your videos, and it’s so crazy doing a video with you because all of your videos, you could just tell you take your time from the angle, to the dancing, to the things that pop,” Cardi B told Shakira in an interview they shared on social media.
“Puntería” was released as the latest single from Shakira’s new album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, which also features smash hits “Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53” and “TQG” ft. Karol G.

“Puntería” was released as the latest single from Shakira’s new album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, which also features smash hits “Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53” and “TQG” ft. Karol G.
