Fresh off his surprise appearance during Justin Bieber’s Coachella set, The Kid LAROI’s got a new single called “I CONDEMN,” along with an official music video. It’s his first new release since his album BEFORE I FORGET came out in January and arrives ahead of his A PERFECT WORLD TOUR, which kicks off April 27.

Stephen Sanchez is ready to “CHUCK THE MONEY” with his latest new song. The track is featured on his upcoming sophomore album, Love, Love, Love, out May 8. “This was the second song we wrote for the record,” Stephen says in a statement. “It’s about throwing out the material things and placing value back on connection and intimacy that’s real and has a heartbeat. But also taking it to a place that’s fun and innocent as well.”

Lewis Capaldi has released “Stay Love,” a special addition to his 2025 Survive EP. He sings on the track, “Oh just stay, love, when everybody’s leaving/ C’mon stay, love, to get me through the evening/ You know I pray, love, that you’ll always be the on / And when the road gets rough, don’t give up on us, and this could stay love.”

No Doubt is getting ready for their residency at the Sphere Las Vegas, and they’re giving fans some insight into how they feel about some of their songs.

The band posted a video on social media in which they pit some of their biggest hits against each other. Standing in a straight line, two songs appear above their heads and the members move to the left or right depending on which song is their favorite.

The first round is “Don’t Speak” vs. “Just a Girl,” with Gwen Stefani and Tony Kanal choosing “Don’t Speak,” and Tom Dumont and Adrian Young picking “Just a Girl.” In the round two battle of “Hella Good” vs. “It’s My Life,” again Gwen and Tony agree, picking the latter tune, with Adrian and Tom picking the former.

When it comes to “Spider Web” only one person, Gwen, picks it as their favorite over “Sunday Morning,” while the entire band chooses “Bathwater” over “Ex Girlfriend.”

They captioned the clip, “We learned a lot about ourselves doing this one. See you in two weeks @spherevegas.”

No Doubt’s Sphere Las Vegas residency kicks off May 6 and wraps June 13. A complete list of dates can be found at NoDoubt.com.

From Ashes to New has released a new video for the track “Forever,” from their just released new album, Reflections.

The clip has the band performing on a dark soundstage lit only by flashing lasers, cut with footage of a woman who appears to be walking toward something, only to end up looking down at what appears to be her own lifeless body.

Reflections is From Ashes To New’s fifth studio album, the follow-up to 2023’s Blackout.

The rockers are set to hit the road with Black Veil Brides starting April 25 in Riverside, California. They will also spend this summer on tour with Shinedown.

Ashley McBryde’s trapped in the car with an unhappy family in the music video for her new track, “Lines in the Carpet.”

“She keeps pushing that Dyson everyday all over again/ And he’ll come home from work tonight and walk all over them,” she sings in one of the verses.

Even though it’s a song she didn’t write, it’s a topic that resonates with Ashley. 

“I see so many women I know in this song,” she reveals. “There’s no promise in the lyrics that things are going to change or get better—it just stays with that feeling of being contained, and knowing that the person you’re with is completely oblivious to everything you’re feeling.”

“This record is about getting back in touch with the Wild within,” she adds, mentioning her upcoming fifth album. “I think part of that means taking a good long look at what keeps us caged.”

Friday and Saturday, Ashley wraps up her 2026 Redemption Residency at Chief’s in Nashville with a show titled Mixed Tape from the Mixed Up Years, featuring deep cuts and covers.

Wild drops May 8.

Friday, April 17, should’ve been a great day for ZAYN: That’s the day his new solo album, KONNAKOL came out. Instead, the singer is celebrating his release day in the hospital.

On his Instagram Story, he posted a photo of himself in a hospital bed on Friday afternoon and wrote, “Been a long week and am still unexpectedly recovering. Heartbroken that I can’t see you all this week, I wouldn’t be in the place I am today without you guys and am so thankful for your understanding.”

“Thank you to all the incredible hospital staff of Drs, nurses, cardiologist, management, admin and everyone who had helped along the way and continue to,” he added. “You are all legends!”

ABC Audio has reached out to ZAYN’s reps.

Miley Cyrus’ special guest on a new version of her song “Younger You” is someone who used to make a living as a Hannah Montana impersonator: CMA and ACM entertainer of the year Lainey Wilson.

Lainey writes on Instagram, “If I go back and tell myself one thing it’d be…’Hey younger you, you’re gonna impersonate Hannah Montana all throughout high school, playing every birthday party, fair and festival between here and Louisiana and then one day…. you’re gonna have a song with the real Hannah Montana.’”

“@mileycyrus thank you for asking me to join you on this special song,” she adds. “If this ain’t a full circle moment, I don’t know what is.”

The post included photos and video of Lainey and Miley together in recent years.

Lainey impersonated Hannah at parties and events from the time she was in eighth grade through 12th grade. She tells People in an Instagram video, “It taught me that this wasn’t gonna be easy, but it was gonna be fun.”

Fans are saying it’s giving Rihanna and Shakira, or maybe Beyoncé or Shakira. Either way, Tyla and Zara Larsson are an instantly iconic duo in their new video for “She Did It Again.”

Following the success of “Stateside,” Zara continues her streak of joining women from a different country for a sexy bop by teaming with the Grammy-winning South African star for the sultry track about toying with a man’s emotions. In it, Zara sings, “Put him in on his knees, not tryna tease/ Oops, did it again like Britney, that’s how it is.” Zara’s a big fan of Britney’s, covering Britney’s “Gimme More” on her current tour. 

In the steamy video, both women are wearing a series of very skimpy outfits as they shimmy, shake and dance up on each other. At the end of the video, they’re grinding on each other so enthusiastically that they both start laughing.

“Thank you my girl @tyla for having me on this songgggg I love it and I love you!!!!” Zara wrote on Instagram.
