Most artists these days follow up a new album with a deluxe edition featuring bonus tracks, and Gracie Abrams is no exception — though she’s chosen a different approach to releasing hers.

“Hey SURPRISE Daughter from Hell (Bonus Tracks) with OUT OF NOWHERE and LOVE LETTER will be available to download tonight at 6pm PT on iTunes for a limited time if you can believe it,” Gracie wrote Sunday on social media, alongside teaser clips of each song.

“I’m so moved to hear from those of you who are connecting with the record so far,” she continued. “Really truly your messages have made my heart grow ten sizes. Fingers crossed you enjoy these too. I personally love them very much.”

Some fans weren’t happy about the iTunes exclusivity, however. One wrote, “Boooooo I’m not going to buy the album AGAIN for two songs. Ugh I hate this, this is not cool dude.” Another wrote, “You have to buy the entire album… Gracie that’s low. Why the money grab? Please release it on Spotify!”

A third fan wrote, “Not fair to the people who already bought the whole album 2 days ago. Now you expect us to buy the entire album again for 2 songs? Not cool. At least give the people who already bought it earlier the opportunity to complete their album with the 2 new songs.”

The original version of Daughter From Hell arrived July 17. The album includes “What If It’s Right?” featuring Marcus Mumford from Mumford & Sons and “Imaginary Friend,” which Gracie wrote her boyfriend, Paul Mescal.

Jelly Roll is reflecting on one of the most meaningful moments of his career, after shooting the music video for “Hands Up.”

The autobiographical piece was filmed inside San Quentin Rehabilitation Center in San Francisco and features him performing alongside incarcerated musicians.

Arriving at the prison while reciting a prayer in voiceover, Jelly Roll joins a group of inmates holding instruments. Later, he greets other incarcerated men in the prison canteen, shaking hands and performing with inmates as his backing band.

In a post shared on Instagram, Jelly Roll emphasized that the men featured in the video were “not actors.” He later described the experience as one of the most memorable moments of his career.

“Truly one of the most special things I’ve ever had the opportunity to do,” he wrote. “The moment my life truly changed is when I threw my hands up. I know a lot of folks will hear this and remember their ‘hands up’ moment as well.”

The Grammy-nominated artist, who has spoken publicly about his own past incarceration, said returning to a correctional facility carried deep personal meaning.

“I remember being in the same kind of place all these incarcerated guys are in,” he continued. “To get to do this with them is beyond words for me.”

The music video arrives amid Jelly Roll’s divorce from Bunnie Xo. He filed for divorce in May after 10 years of marriage.

Coldplay debuted a new song called “We Dance” during Sunday’s FIFA World Cup 2026 Final Halftime Show.

Chris Martin and company were joined by the public elementary school chorus PS22, as well as various Muppets, including Miss Piggy and Sesame Street‘s Elmo and Cookie Monster.

The show, which was curated by Martin, also featured performances by Justin Bieber, Madonna, Shakira and BTS.

As impressive of a lineup as that may be, Liam Gallagher did not seem impressed. The Oasis vocalist reviewed the show on social media as, “This is like a bad trip,” adding, “It’s absolutely insane behavior it’s cuckoo with a capital K.”

Ahead of the show, The Cure frontman Robert Smith expressed his dismay in the very idea of a World Cup halftime show, tagging an Instagram post #pleasejustf***off.

At the end of her concert Saturday night in Brooklyn, New York, Ariana Grande premiered the trailer for the video for “petal,” the title track of her new album. She later shared the teaser on Instagram.

The black-and-white clip shows Ariana holding an old-fashioned newspaper ad for a company called “Fame Inc.” which is auditioning stars for the “T.V. & film industry.” It continues, “Major Studios are calling for new faces who can follow directions and have a good personality.”

The teaser the cuts to Ariana’s feet, clad in high-heeled pumps, running across a cracked star on Hollywood Boulevard with a flower growing out of it. Next, a shadowy figure is shown smoking a cigarette as Ariana appears on a film set. The trailer concludes with the words, “PETAL, shot entirely on … VistaVision.”

VistaVision is a higher-resolution, widescreen movie format introduced in the 1950s that eventually fell out of favor. In recent years, however, it’s made a comeback, with The Brutalist, Wuthering Heights and One Battle After Another all using the format.

Ariana wrapped up her run of shows in Brooklyn on Sunday night. During the final show, she performed an a cappella version of “Be Alright,” a song from her album Dangerous Woman, for the first time this tour.

“new york, you have my heart always … brooklyn, i am emotional ! thank you for five beautiful shows,” she wrote on Instagram. “i love you, i love new york, i love this show, i love our eternal sunshine tour family, and again, you, you, you… with all my heart always.”

petal will arrive July 31.

When tickets went on sale Friday for Garth Brooks’ August return to arenas, response was so great he doubled his run in Indianapolis.

Originally set to play only Aug. 21-22, he’ll now kick off the Blame It All on My Roots Tour on Thursday, Aug. 20, and play a Sunday matinee at Gainbridge Fieldhouse as well. 

Garth is just as excited as the fans.  

“It’s like a baseballer or a fireman,” he says. “You know, they don’t miss the game or the fires, they miss the fire hall. They miss the dugout. Same with me, man. I’m so excited to get back just to see the band and crew and hang out with them.”

“And then, of course, the people, just to hopefully hear their voices. I can’t tell you how excited I am. I just hope that those people that show up have the best time of their lives. I know I’m going to,” he adds.

Remaining tickets are on sale now. 

The Blame It All on My Roots concerts serve as the foundation for something he’s calling Killer Live and touting as “a groundbreaking new approach to live recording.”

A perfect band may not take nearly a decade to release a new song, but then again, Hoobastank never claimed to be perfect.

“The Reason” outfit has returned with “How Do You Sleep?,” marking their first fresh material in eight years. As frontman Doug Robb tells ABC Audio, the band members had continued to write following the release of their last album, 2018’s Push Pull, but nothing really seemed to jump out at them. Then recently they sent a batch of songs to their former producer, Howard Benson, which included “How Do You Sleep?”

“[Benson] heard it, and he was like, ‘Dude, this, this sounds like a modern version of you guys from the early 2000s. … It’s awesome,'” Robb says. “He’s like, ‘I haven’t heard this type of, like, conviction in you guys in years.'” 

Robb feels that the energy of the song stems from Hoobastank’s approach of writing music for themselves first and foremost.

“We consciously just said, like, ‘Dude, can we just write and do stuff that we really enjoy?'” Robb says. “Like, stuff that I would actually want to listen to and get pumped up listening to, even if nobody ever heard it.”

Now that “How Do You Sleep?” is out and people have heard it, though, Robb has been avoiding looking up people’s reactions to the song.

“If people love it, fantastic,” Robb says. “If they think it’s the worst song they’ve heard in their life, fantastic! … But I don’t want it to affect how I feel about what I’ve done.”

He adds, “Nobody’s been throwing tomatoes at us when we play the song, so that’s good.” 

Hoobastank will be playing the Vans Warped Tour in Long Beach, California, on Saturday.

Charlie Puth and his wife welcomed their first child, Jude Crawford Puth, in March, and while he was no slouch in the music department, he says Jude’s existence has made him a better musician.

Speaking GQ Hong Kong, Charlie explains, “I realized that everything else is secondary except for my child’s happiness. Now it’s no longer always ‘about me’ — my entire life is about ensuring little Jude is incredibly happy every single day. This mindset has changed everything.”

“It has actually allowed me to write better music because I no longer care so much about whether others will like it,” he adds. “Even my most die-hard fans won’t love every song I share with the world forever. … [A]ll I can do is tell the truth, set it to melody, and hope that someone in the world can feel what I felt when I wrote that song.”

As for how little Jude responds to dad’s music, Charlie says, “He has very deep eyes, and when I sing, he stares straight at me without any hesitation. It’s really magical to look at him — you can really feel him absorbing all of this.”

“Who knows if he’ll go down the music path in the future?” he continues. “We’ll support him no matter what. I just hope that one day he can listen to James Taylor’s songs with me in the car.”

You can own a piece of Zara Larsson’s “Lush Life” starting July 21 at 3 p.m. ET.

The Swedish star has set up her own shop on Depop, a global resale marketplace for secondhand fashion, with all proceeds going to charity. While the shop isn’t open yet, you can sign up now to be the first to get your hands on what she’s offering. Zara is also starring in an ad campaign for the platform.

“Fashion has always been one of the ways I express myself,” says Zara in a statement. “I love mixing vintage with newer pieces and finding things that feel unexpected. That’s why I’ve always loved Depop. There’s something really exciting about discovering an item that nobody else has.”

The Zara Larsson Edit shop will feature 20 to 30 pieces curated from Zara’s personal wardrobe, along with designer items, upcycled merchandise and “one-of-a-kind fashion finds,” according to a press release.

Depop’s brand and creative director adds, “Zara has an incredible eye for style because she approaches fashion with curiosity rather than rules.”

But, he notes, “This campaign isn’t just about people mimicking what Zara wears. It’s a celebration of the creativity and individuality that comes from discovering fashion that’s uniquely your own, and having a little fun with it.”

Zara showcased her onstage style Saturday at Lollapalooza Berlin. Next, she’ll head to North America for Lollapalooza Chicago and the Osheaga Festival in Montreal, Canada.
