Everything is looking up for The Warning, even as Everything’s Falling.

The sister trio of vocalist/guitarist Daniela “Dany” Villarreal, drummer Paulina “Pau” Villarreal and bassist Alejandra “Ale” Villarreal will release their fifth studio album, Everything’s Falling, on Aug. 28. It’s the follow-up to 2024’s Keep Me Fed, which was the band’s biggest album to date and spawned the top-10 Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay hit “S!CK.”

“We went into [Everything’s Falling] with such a clear battle plan of what we wanted to do, what we wanted to say, how we wanted it to sound, how we wanted it to be seen, visually,” Pau tells ABC Audio.

The album kicks off with the songs “Ritual” and “Perfect Daughter” before getting to the title track, which establishes the themes of Everything’s Falling.

“Everyone in their lives can maybe relate to having an ‘everything’s falling’ moment, and it’s what we sorta talk about throughout the album,” Dany says. “Having that point of falling, failure or being a little bit lost and kind of the journey back upwards, where it takes you, what you can find about yourself, and knowing that maybe everything can either fall apart or fall into place.”

While the beginning of Everything’s Falling largely deals with internal strife, after the title track, the album shifts as the language becomes more physical in songs such as “Bite My Tongue,” “Kill or Be Killed,” “Bloodsport” and “Bruises.”

“When we were at that point in this narrative of when everything falls apart, most of the struggle that we all live is very internal and it’s very within yourself,” Pau says. “But when you are in a troubled space or mindset, you start projecting things outwards, whether you like it or not.”

The Warning then burns it all down with the closing track, lead single “Kerosene,” which not only brings Everything’s Falling to a narrative close but also reminded the band members why they make music in the first place.

“I think [‘Kerosene’] is the closest I’ve felt to when we were writing, the three of us when we were children,” Pau says. 

The Warning will celebrate the release of Everything’s Falling with three Los Angeles shows taking place Sept. 9-11.

Jessica Simpson has been a reality TV star, singer, songwriter, actress, businesswoman and bestselling author. Now she’ll be a Netflix star.

A documentary about the “I Wanna Love You Forever” singer is coming to the streamer in 2027. It’s being directed by Joe Pearlman, who was behind the camera for documentaries on Lewis Capaldi and Robbie Williams.

One of the producers is Van Toffler, who was the head of MTV Networks when Jessica’s reality show Newlyweds with her ex-husband Nick Lachey made the couple household names.

In her career, Jessica has sold more than 20 million records and headed up a fashion brand worth a billion dollars. Her 2020 memoir, Open Book, which became a New York Times bestseller, spilled the beans on her marriage to Nick, her relationship with John Mayer, her struggles with substance abuse and body image, her difficult childhood and more. 

Jessica split with her second husband, Eric Johnson, in 2025. The couple share three children. That same year, she returned to recording with two EPs: Nashville Canyon — Part 1 and Part 2.

Ariana Grande is about to confront the hackers who allegedly stole her music and videos.

In a Wednesday order obtained by ABC News, Judge Mark H. Epstein has granted Ariana permission to skip the usual waiting period and move ahead with discovery in the hacking case, meaning she can subpoena information that may help her identify the anonymous hackers.

“Given that there is no one to whom notice can be given anyway, it makes little sense to wait the 16 days,” the judge wrote, adding that Ariana has “good cause” to do so. He noted that Ariana can’t find out the identities of the alleged hackers “without this discovery, and therefore will never be able to serve defendants.”

According to The Statesman, Ariana’s team was concerned that the longer they waited to subpoena certain online platforms and third-party services connected to the alleged hacking activity, the more likely it would be to be deleted.

Ariana filed the lawsuit in July against the unnamed hackers, accusing them of invasion of privacy by breaking into online accounts of her collaborators — photographers, producers and others — and stealing songs, video footage and photos. The lawsuit further accused the alleged hackers of selling the content on the dark web.

Drake has teamed with Live Nation to create another music venue. He’s launched the second History in his native Canada, taking to Instagram to make the announcement and share images of the new space.

“Today we open the second History,” Drake captioned the post on Thursday. “A venue for outstanding artists and the incredible fan bases that seek that communal family experience.”

He thanked Live Nation for trusting him “on a journey that I hope is shared with every city and country worldwide,” noting that the venues “are where our stories are born, elevated, shared, and hopefully revisited.”

He adds that he personally thought “about every artist that had to play a venue and ask themselves ‘is this what making it feels like’ because I know we respect all the heritage and all the years of inheritance but hope to create a better experience for our budding artists moving forward.”

Speaking to CBC News, Ali Shafaee, regional vice-president with Live Nation Canada, described the new venue, which features a general-admission standing room space on the main floor that can also host concerts and galas. The second floor offers premium space, with 112 seats for fans who want to sit individually or in groups, as well as standing room behind the reserved seating.

Shafee added that 60 shows have been planned for the remainder of the year, with 150 more scheduled for next year.

The first History concert venue opened in Toronto, Ontario, in 2021. The new one is located in Ottawa, Canada.

“I will be there to drop off my personal touch to Ottawa soon,” Drake wrote in his post.

When Kehlani thinks back to winning a Grammy, she tells Billboard, “It was a great moment.”

“For as long as I’ve been working, and as long as things have been going left, people have been telling me, ‘You deserve more,'” she says. “In order to survive in this industry, I’ve stayed grounded in the idea that my purpose is my purpose, and what God has for me is for me. It wasn’t like this Grammy is going to confirm that what I’m doing has purpose, that what I’m doing is valid or God’s plan for me. But it’s cool to be recognized by an institution that has always upheld excellence.”

She adds that celebrating with friends and fellow Grammy winners Leon Thomas and Durand Bernarr “couldn’t have been cooler.”

“Not only for us but for R&B. It proved the worthiness of time, brick-building and development — everything that we’ve put in for the genre thus far,” she notes.

Elsewhere in the Billboard story, Kehlani credited her focus on R&B to being “raised mostly on neo-soul” and loving “the range of Musiq Soulchild, D’Angelo, Brandy, Erykah Badu and Jill Scott, but also Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. Stevie Wonder is my No. 1 of all time.”

When it comes to making her own music, though, her goal is for “people to feel warmth.”

“Even if it’s a sad song. My favorite music is any song I hear that takes me back to being in my auntie’s house,” Kehlani said. “It’s this certain nostalgia; this childhood thing that good music will just hug you.”

Kehlani won her first Grammys back in February. She took home best R&B song and best R&B performance for “Folded.”

Have concert ticket prices got you down? Myles Smith is here to help.

Growing up as one of three kids of a single mother, Myles says in an Instagram video, “I know what it’s like to want to go to a show but not necessarily have the means to do it.” That’s why he’s arranging to give away free tickets to the rest of his North American tour dates.

“I think shows are really important and should be accessible to as many people as they can,” Myles added.

He wrote in the caption, “I’ve been hearing from so many of you who’d love to come to a show, but right now the cost just makes it impossible. I know that feeling, and I don’t want money to be the reason you miss out.”

“So for every remaining show on this tour, we’re putting some tickets aside for people and families who might not otherwise be able to come,” he continued.

“If that’s you, leave your details in our form by 12pm ET / 9am PT on August 24th. Each person we’re able to invite will receive 2 tickets. These shows are for everyone. Hope to see some of you there.”

You can fill out the form by following the link in Myles’ Instagram Story. He added on the Story, “Sometimes a show is just a night out. Sometimes it can make you feel seen, give you hope, or show you a world you didn’t know was possible. …If I can help a few more people be inside the room this time, that means everything to me.”
