On Tuesday, the legendary songwriter unveiled the track list for the cross-genre album that includes a series of collaborations with country artists.

Other artists on the project include John Legend, Celine Dion, Carlos Santana, Jon Batiste, Sofia Reyes, Pentatonix and many others.
“Putting out an album with so many of my favorite artists is truly a dream come true!” Diane remarks on Twitter.

Mark Hoppus recently took a significant step in his battle with cancer: he played his bass for the first time since being diagnosed.
The Blink-182 vocalist brought out his trusty instrument during a recent Twitch stream, which was posted by a fan on YouTube.
“This is the first time I’ve felt well enough to play my bass since I was diagnosed,” Hoppus said before playing along to a recording of Blink’s 2005 single, “Not Now.” “So this is the first time I’ve picked up my bass in a few months.”
Hoppus revealed in June that he’d been undergoing chemotherapy for cancer for the past three months. In a post on July 19, he shared that a recent scan indicated that the chemo was working.
“I still have months of treatment ahead, but it’s the best possible news,” he wrote.

On July 15, Alessia released two new songs: “Sweet Dream” and “Shapeshifter.” The tracks were the first taste of new music from the singer’s upcoming third album.
New Orleans singer Lucky Daye took to Instagram Tuesday to reveal he just completed filming a music video in Mexico City, Mexico.
“Just wrapped my video. Thank you Mexico. Ready for new music,” Daye wrote in the caption, paired with two emojis of the Mexico flag and his signature four-leaf clover.
Most fans in the comments offered to teach Daye to sing in another language after he asked, “Who can teach me Spanish?” Others took notice of Daye’s toned-down haircut with faded sides, including one fan who wrote, “This new haircut is really giving what it’s supposed to give.”
Meanwhile, Daye’s record label, Keep Cool, added that fans are “ready” to hear what the Grammy-nominated singer has been working on since releasing his Table for TwoEP two days before Valentine’s day.
“We are past ready sir,” replied one fan, while another said, “Yasss baby…in my New Orleans voice.”
