Sam Smith will release a new song called “My Guy” on June 24. On Instagram, he writes, “A song that I feel I have been waiting a lifetime to write and sing. … [T]his one fell out of the sky. In this sometimes cold and distant world, I hope you can feel the love and the closeness of this recording. I tried to capture the glow and the warmth of love in this one, it makes me cry, maybe it will make you feel a little love too.” “My Guy” is available to presave now.

Ariana Grande is using her live shows to reveal the track list of her new album, petal. Her current single, “hate that i made you love me,” is listed as the #2 track on the project on streaming services. She later revealed at her most recent concerts that track #1 is called “kiss me” and track #3  is the title track.  

When Katy Perry performed at the United States’ World Cup opening game in LA on Friday, her boyfriend Justin Trudeau was in attendance. After he noticing he’d been called out for watching the game in Inglewood rather than Canada’s first game in Toronto, the former prime minister of Canada responded on X, “Sometimes supportive boyfriend duties call. But you know who I’m rooting for to take the Cup.” He added a Canadian flag emoji.

Backstreet Boy Howie Dorough will release his first-ever Spanish-language single, “Coqui,” on June 18. On Instagram, he wrote that he was thankful for his fans’ support “on my Spanish language journey thus far.”

She has a played a role in the promotion and development of artists including Stevie Wonder, Lil Wayne, En Vogue, Erykah Badu, Brandy and Anita Baker.

Sylvia is set to be honored at the Black Music Action Coalition’s Celebration of an Icon event, taking place June 25 in LA.

“We are at a crucial time in history and we’re calling on the music community to come together and strategize to get our democracy back on track and use their voices and art to demand accountability and respect within our democracy. We also hope these events will remind us of our power and honor those who dedicated themselves to black music, like Sylvia Rhone, to ensure our music was heard,” said Willie “Prophet” Stiggers, co-founder, president and CEO of the Black Music Action Coalition.

Sylvia is also expected to receive the Ultimate Icon Award at the BET Awards on June 28.

The Smashing Pumpkins are performing during an upcoming America250 concert in Los Angeles celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States.

The show, dubbed America’s Block Party, takes place on July 4 at the LA Memorial Coliseum. The lineup also includes Chris Stapleton and host Queen Latifah.

“Playing the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on July 4 for America’s 250th is a rare kind of moment,” says Pumpkins drummer Jimmy Chamberlin in a statement. “We’ve always believed in the power of music to be a unifying principle. It brings people together and allows them to express themselves in a forum that has a common destination- and it allows all of us the opportunity to participate in a celebration that has meaning, history, and impact.”

Tickets go on sale Tuesday at 10 a.m. PT and will cost $17.76. Proceeds will benefit Feeding America, and 5,000 complimentary tickets will be donated to first responders, veterans and active-duty service members.

Established by Congress in 2016, America250 is described as “the only national, nonpartisan organization charged by Congress to help lead the celebration and commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence,” according to the website.

A different organization, Freedom 250, previously announced the Great American State Fair concert series taking place in June and July in Washington, D.C., to similarly mark America’s 250th anniversary. However, many of the announced artists have since dropped out, including Poison’s Bret Michaels, Martina McBride and The Commodores.

Back in 1978, Stevie Nicks sang backup on a top-10 hit by Walter Egan called “Magnet and Steel,” which she also inspired. Now she’s miffed that an artist who just covered the song didn’t invite her to sing on it.

Country superstar Keith Urban has released a yacht rock album called Flow State, featuring covers of classic songs like Stephen Bishop’s “On and On,” Ambrosia’s “How Much I Feel,” Seals & Crofts’ “Summer Breeze” and Robbie Dupree’s “Steal Away.” He also covered “Magnet and Steel” and invited country group Little Big Town to sing on it with him. And that, he says, caused a problem.

Speaking to Billboard, Keith says, “The full weird story about all of that … is [Stevie Nicks’ guitarist] Waddy Wachtel is a good friend of mine. … I sent Waddy the record, he played it for Stevie, and he sent me a text: ‘Stevie’s very angry that she wasn’t asked to sing on the song with you.'”

He laughs, “I’m like, ‘Oh my god, that’s fantastic!’”

While Stevie doesn’t sing on the album, the king of yacht rock, Michael McDonald, does. He guest stars on a song called “We Go Back.”
