Kelsea Ballerini’s having “Another Drink” with Marshmello, continuing the country tradition he started with Kane Brown and “Miles on It” back in May 2024.

“I loved the challenge of bringing my own approach to country production on this track, and I’m grateful to Kelsea for trusting my vision,” ‘Mello says. “She’s an incredible artist and person, and we’re both proud of this song and excited for everyone to hear it.”

“Another Drink” is Kelsea’s first time working with the artist/producer, even though they’ve know each other awhile.

“I’ve been a friend and fan of Marshmello’s for years, and we’ve always wanted to find the right thing to work on together,” Kelsea says. “This song came to life at the perfect time for us to combine our worlds for a fun, summertime jam. I hope it makes everyone cheers and dance.”

Previously, Marshmello collaborated on “Where We Go” with Thomas Rhett, “Better Man Than Me” with Hudson Westbrook and “Holy Water” with Jelly Roll.

Drake is making amends with anyone named Janice following the release of the Iceman track “Janice STFU.”

Taking to his Instagram Story Thursday, he wrote, “All my Janice’s in NY, LA, MIA, TO, HOU, look out for my invitation for Sunday.”

Now Toronto later followed with a report of an event scheduled for Sunday at Cactus Club in Toronto. The party will take place from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and is exclusively being held for people named Janice, who must present a government-issued ID to gain entry. Details for the parties planned in the other cities will soon be revealed.

“Janice STFU” appears on Drake’s Iceman album and includes shots at the media, critics and fellow rappers. With the apology parties, Drake seems to be making it up to the real Janices who may have been offended or caught in the crossfire.

Fans, however, are still unsure whether Janice refers to an actual woman or is just a metaphor for someone else.

“Janice STFU” peaked atop the Billboard Hot 100. It currently sits at #7.

Zach John King’s 20-track debut album, I’m What You Get, is set to arrive Aug. 28, featuring his first top-20 hit, “Get to Drinkin’.” 

The Fayetteville, Georgia, native co-produced the album, which seems every bit as autobiographical as the title makes it sound.

“I wanted to make a project that took all the good and the bad parts of me and just laid it out there,” Zach says. “I just really wanted to write about exactly who I am — some people might love it, and some people might not and that’s fine. And I’ve gotten more comfortable with that too.”

“I think this project makes a statement of ‘take it or leave it, this is me,’” he continues. “There’s parts of me that I really love on this record, but there’s also parts of me that I regret. In every song, there’s a piece of my story I wanted to share. When I was in the writing process, my hope was that anyone could listen to this record from start to finish and see that it’s 100% me.”

The new track, “Run for Them Hills,” is out now. 

Zach’s opening for Luke Bryan, Riley Green and Thomas Rhett in the months to come, before he launches his Get to Drinkin’ Tour on Oct. 1.

Gracie Abrams has done something her friend Taylor Swift did quite a few albums — and one relationship — ago: She’s written a song with her famous actor boyfriend.

On the New York Times‘ Popcast, Gracie was asked about the fact that on her new album Daughter From Hell, one song, “Imaginary Friend,” was co-written with her love, Oscar-nominated actor Paul Mescal. And unlike when Taylor co-wrote songs with her ex, Paul is credited under his real name.

“I don’t like the feeling of hiding,” Gracie explained. “I also love privacy where it feels like the right thing. But that was so fun to write together. That wasn’t some groundbreaking event for us. We have a very creative home with friends who are, like, so good at what they do and everyone feels happy to share that with one another.”

Acknowledging that writing a song with Paul might open her up to online hate, Gracie argued, “I … think … if you know how happy your experience was making something, or how much you learned about yourself or your partner or whatever the thing is, it’s like, no, amount of hate or trolling or whatever could take that away.”

“And I think that is a part of my life that brings me so much peace and joy,” she added. “And I’m not gonna pretend like that’s not true.”

As for the song itself, Gracie said it was “just us f****** around,” in an attempt to write a “strummer” — an acoustic guitar-based song, as she did on The Secret of Us.

“I kind of wanted the show to have one or two more moments where it could be super small in that way,” she explained.

Meanwhile, Gracie has released another song and video from Daughter From Hell: “Look at My Life.”

It’s been more than a year since Dylan Scott released his latest album, Easy Does It, but with the arrival of his new radio single, it seems like the follow-up may be coming together. 

“Dear Big City” is a parent’s letter to the place that will someday lure a child away. 

“This song was captivating to me from the day I heard it, and I knew I wanted it to be my next single right away,” Dylan says. “The lyric itself spoke to me because not only did I leave the small town when I was younger to move to Nashville to chase my dream, but I also know there are so many people in this world who have a similar story or know somebody who has.”

“Whether parents had a kid leave home and move off to college or if the parents themselves did the same thing for a job, I think everyone can relate to a song like this,” he adds. 

“Dear Big City” follows April’s “Slow Down Ol’ Son,” which was inspired by Dylan’s late mother. Also in April, the Louisiana native grabbed his seventh #1 with “What He’ll Never Have.” 

Dylan’s playing fairs and festivals this summer after wrapping his Till I Can’t I Will Tour in May.
