Adam Levine is putting his cheating scandal behind him by focusing on new music.  

Adam has been working on a new song, called “Ojalá,” that has him singing in Spanish. The track is expected to arrive next Thursday, October 20.

This isn’t a solo effort, as the Maroon 5 singer has teamed up with Marry Me star Maluma and The Rudeboyz for the upcoming track.

He teased “Ojalá” on TikTok by releasing 20 seconds of the upbeat tune. The song features a reggaeton beat as Adam sings about an ex and how much he hopes she doesn’t forget him.

This will mark Adam’s first song release since he became entangled in a cheating scandal, in which several women accused him of sending flirty messages on social media. Another woman claimed she engaged in an affair with the singer.

These allegations do not seem to have had an effect on his marriage; wife Behati Prinsloo, who is pregnant with their third child, was most recently seen supporting Adam at The Shaquille O’Neal Foundation’s Las Vegas fundraiser earlier this month.

Blink-182 has premiered the video for “Edging,” the band’s first new song with Tom DeLonge in over 10 years.

The clip features DeLonge, Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker performing at a carnival while surrounded by a group of people in full-body rabbit costumes. The trio soon goes from rocking rabbits to hunting rabbits, who meet a grisly end by the time the credits roll.

You can watch the “Edging” video streaming now on YouTube.

The song “Edging” premiered earlier Friday and marks Blink’s first release since announcing their reunion with DeLonge earlier this week. The band will embark on a worldwide tour in 2023 and plans to release a new album that DeLonge calls “the best album of our career.”

Gojira has premiered a new song called “Our Time Is Now.”

The track is dedicated to “all the fighters out there sparking a light in a dark world.”

“If you care about something meaningful to you and your community,” says frontman Joe Duplantier. “If you are standing for a cause, if you show compassion and solidarity for the ones whose rights are taken away, if you’re in a war defending your inherent rights or fighting against deforestation, if you’re standing for animal rights, human rights, you are the lightning bolt, the spark that will shape our world. Your time is now! Our time is now!”

“Our Time Is Now” is available now via digital outlets. You can also hear it on the NHL 23 hockey video game soundtrack, which includes A Day to Remember, Coheed and Cambria, Ghost, Highly Suspect, Korn, Muse, Turnstile and Shinedown.

Ellie Goulding walked down memory lane to reflect on her most iconic music videos and how much she’s grown as an artist.

Speaking with Allure, the singer reflected on her offerings, beginning with “Lights” and ending with her recent entry, “Easy Lover.”

Ellie said her first video, which was released in 2011, was “one of the first music videos” she shot and she didn’t really know what she was doing. She also poked fun at how pale she looked, and at her “really extreme” side part and shaved patch hairstyle.

Flash forward to Ellie’s release of “Easy Lover.” The singer remarked on how much her style has changed. Ellie dons several looks in the video, from an androgynous David Bowie-type character to a glam rocker. She added the song is about continually returning to a toxic lover “because the excitement outweighs the heartbreak.”

“I think this video … was probably the one where I felt like I was the freest,” she said.

“I just felt confident in myself, like people around me made me feel confident,” she continued, adding she had “good hair and good makeup and good stylists and good creative people” to make it come together.

“My own style has evolved in that, I think the more confident I am in myself, you know, the more it’s reflected in what I wear,” Ellie added, saying she loves it when she feels like she can wear whatever she wants.

“I felt like I had to fit in a certain category for a long time and now I don’t. And I feel pretty free,” she smiled.

Ellie also saluted her music videos for “Close to Me” and “Anything Could Happen,” the latter of which she called one of her favorites because it was so otherworldly.
