For months, we’ve heard that the Wicked sequel, Wicked: For Good, would include two new songs specially written by original Wicked composer Stephen Schwartz for stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. Now we have details on those songs.

Wicked: For Good — The Soundtrack arrives Nov. 21, and it includes “No Place Like Home,” performed by Erivo as Elphaba, and “The Girl In The Bubble,” performed by Grande as Glinda. The soundtrack also features a song not previously included in the Broadway cast recording of Wicked, called “The Wicked Witch of the East.“

“I’m especially happy that the soundtrack album for Wicked: For Good has so much new music on it,” Schwartz says in a statement. “In addition to two brand new songs, there is a lot that’s new in several other existing songs. So not only listeners coming to the score for the first time, but long-time fans of the original Broadway cast album, will have a great deal to discover.”

The soundtrack will be available digitally, as well as on CD, double vinyl and double picture disc. Plus, Target, Amazon, Walmart and Barns & Noble will all have exclusive versions or variants.

Ozzy Osbourne fans are getting their first look at the upcoming Paramount+ documentary, No Escape From Now.

The first trailer for the doc was just released and features interview clips with Ozzy, his wife Sharon Osbourne, and kids Kelly Osbourne, Jack Osbourne and Aimee Osbourne. There are also interview clips with Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith and Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan.

Footage in the trailer shows Ozzy back in the studio recording with producer Andrew Watt and Smith, as well as clips from rehearsals for the Back to the Beginning concert, and more.

Cardi B is pregnant with her fourth child.

The father is her boyfriend, New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs, the rapper announced Wednesday on CBS Mornings. She said the baby will arrive before the start of her Little Miss Drama tour, which begins in February.

Cardi said, “I feel like I’m in a good space. I feel very strong. I feel very powerful that I’m doing all this work. But I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby, and me and my man, we’re very supportive of each other.” 

She credited Diggs with making her feel “safe and very confident and very strong,” and making her feel “like you could take over the world.”

Cardi, who has three children with her ex-husband Offset, said she was wary of falling in love again, but said Diggs told her, “Let me heal you. Give me a chance for me to heal you.”

Cardi also told Gayle King that she hasn’t told her parents yet about the pregnancy, joking that she’s “scared of them.”

Am I the Drama?, Cardi’s new album, arrives on Friday, and she jokingly asked fans to buy her album so she can “buy Pampers and diapers and all that type of stuff,” adding, “go support my album, cause I’m a mother of four now.”

Brantley Gilbert still lives in Georgia near where he grew up. But as much as he loves to be back home with his wife and kids in the Peach State, he’s equally happy to head out on tour. 

“A lot of people found out a lot about [themselves] during COVID,” Brantley reflects. “I think the one thing that got hammered home to me about myself is that I am born and designed to be a road dog. I think that that was just engraved into my DNA. I’m supposed to be moving.”

“It was awesome to be able to see the kids, but with that being said, you know, we have space for ’em on the bus,” he adds. “They can go on the road with me.”

Brantley’s next show is Oct. 3 at FirstBank Amphitheater in Franklin, Tennessee, on the outskirts of Nashville. 

His Greatest Hits…So Far collection arrives Dec. 12, featuring his new single, “Want You Back.”

Scott Hoying of Pentatonix made his Dancing with the Stars debut Tuesday on ABC with his partner Rylee Arnold — Team RYOTT, as they’ve dubbed themselves. If the singer manages to avoid elimination for several months, he’s going to bump up against another major commitment: the annual Pentatonix Christmas tour, which launches Nov. 8. But Scott is convinced he’ll be able to do both.

“That is gonna be a tough one,” he told ABC Audio ahead of the premiere. “You know, I really do feel like a robot and I have this endless bandwidth, but it’s really gonna be put to the test with tour. But I think it’s gonna happen.”

“Tour is my favorite thing in the world, and every single night is so energizing and exciting,” he added. “And then dancing … I dance every night [onstage] for hours anyways.”

If Scott does last on DWTS through November, he won’t have to deal with the intersection of the show and the tour for a very long time — but that doesn’t make it any easier.

“The main thing I have to do is not get sick, traveling back and forth,” he said. “Fortunately, it’s only 2 1/2 weeks, but I feel like I can do it. But I’m not in it yet.” 

First things first: We’ll find out next Tuesday if Scott and Rylee will make it past the debut week.

Sublime with Rome may be over, but Rome Ramirez‘s story is just beginning.

While the Sublime offshoot dissolved upon the “Santeria” band’s reformation with Jakob Nowell, son of late frontman Bradley Nowell, Ramirez is launching his solo career with the EP Gemini.

Reflecting on his time in Sublime with Rome, Ramirez tells ABC Audio, “It really just strengthened how much I love music and how much I believe in the power of song.”

“Now, as I kinda climb the ranks on my own with my solo efforts, that’s kinda like my North Star,” Ramirez says.

“I’ve played stadiums, I’ve played arenas, and the love to just do the craft is the same no matter what size venue,” he continues. “That’s been kind of a really rad journey to get to redo this process again but with a vision that’s solely my own.”

So far, so good: the Gemini single “Slow & Easy,” which features Dirty Heads, sits in the top 20 on the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart.

“Millions of people are listening to it every week, and they like it!” Ramirez says. “I just love that, ’cause that’s why I wrote the song. I wrote the song so people could listen to it and feel exactly what I’m talking about.”

Gemini also includes the song “Why Me?,” which finds Ramirez reflecting on his musical journey up to this point.

“It was important for me to really kinda make that to be known that I love Sublime, I will always love Sublime,” Ramirez says. “I’m very proud of where I’m from and what I’ve done, and I’m very grateful for it all. Here’s where I’m going next.” 

Gemini drops Friday. Ramirez will launch a U.S. tour Wednesday in Destin, Florida.

When Avril Lavigne started her music career, she wasn’t even old enough to drink — but now she’s launching her first-ever signature wine.

The wine, dubbed Complicated, of course, is a partnership with Banshee Wines. The limited-edition small batch pinot noir is described as “light and velvety,” with “notes of cherry and raspberry.” The wine, which costs $30 per bottle, is available exclusively on Banshee’s website and at Banshee’s tasting room in Santa Rosa, California.

“Over the last two years on my Greatest Hits Tour, I was rocking out with the Banshee bar set up backstage every night, ready for the afterparty, so teaming up on our own wine just felt right,” Avril says in a statement.

“I hope that everyone can crack open a bottle with their best friends, blast the music that started it all for me, and enjoy the moment. Life can be complicated, but a good glass of wine doesn’t have to be.”

The first 50 people to order can also get one of a limited-edition run of 50 “Sip and Spin” kits, which you can add to your wine purchase. Each kit includes a record player and a copy of Avril’s debut album, Let Go, on vinyl.

As part of the new partnership, Banshee will donate $10,000 to She Is the Music, which creates opportunities for women in the music industry.
