Nearly two months after Nike named Tyla a brand ambassador, Pandora has announced it’s done the same. In a new campaign for the jewelry brand, titled Pandora Styled by Tyla, she rocks pieces from the collection, including a chain with her fan group’s name spelled out in charms.

The collection reflects her “journey, passions and inspirations,” per a press release. It features the Cherry Blossom charm, which pays tribute to her “Water” music video, and the Shark Tooth Mini, representing her music and South African heritage. The collection is now available online.

“[Pandora] reminds me so much of home because my mom always made jewelry, and the birthstone charms remind me of the beads I used to have laying around in my house growing up,” Tyla says in a press release, according to People. “Whenever our mother wanted us not to bother her, she’d give us a big container of beads and my sisters and I would make friendship bracelets all day.”

“Now, my Tygers can have matching friendship bracelets with me,” she adds.

Arcade Fire has announced a new album called Pink Elephant.

The seventh studio effort from the “Wake Up” outfit, and their first since to 2022’s We, drops May 9. You can listen to the first single, “Year of the Snake,” via digital outlets and watch its accompanying video on YouTube.

Here’s the Pink Elephant track list:
“Open Your Heart or Die Trying”
“Pink Elephant”
“Year of the Snake”
“Circle of Trust”

Jordan Davis joined Rascal Flatts onstage Friday in Orlando, duetting on “Yours If You Want It” as the trio wrapped their Life Is a Highway Tour.

It was Rascal Flatts’ first time on the road since 2019, after the pandemic sidelined a planned 2020 farewell tour. 

“We’ve been blown away with the response this tour has gotten,” Jay DeMarcus reflects. “Being back on the road with our fans has been such a rewarding and humbling experience.”

“Twenty five years of being a Rascal Flatts family has truly flown by, and it’s been such a blessing to share in that celebration with you all on this tour and feel the love!” he adds.

Lauren Alaina and Chris Lane joined the band for the tour’s 21 shows, with Carly Pearce stopping by to perform “I Wish” during their hometown show in Columbus, Ohio. 

Carly and Jordan both appear on Life Is a Highway: Refueled Duets, which drops June 6. The new album also includes Rascal Flatts’ current hit, “I Dare You,” with Jonas Brothers.

LOCASH has just locked in the fourth #1 of their career, as “Hometown Home” lands at the top of the country chart. 

“Seeing ‘Hometown Home’ sitting at the top of the Billboard chart has been amazing in ways we couldn’t imagine,” the duo tells Billboard. “It’s our first #1 since we went ‘all in’ and bet on ourselves and launched our own record label.”

“We get to appreciate this #1 on so many levels: as writers, as artists, and as record label executives,” Preston Brust and Chris Lucas continue. “This song is so special and so lyrically rich. It’s been epic watching it land on people’s hearts. It just feels different bringing this #1 HOME.”

LOCASH first hit #1 in 2015 with “I Love This Life,” following it with “I Know Somebody” in 2016. Their most recent chart-topper came in 2020 with “One Big Country Song.”

The duo’s fifth studio album, Bet the Farm, drops April 18.
