Kehlani has entered her self-titled era with the announcement of her new album, Kehlani. It’s set to arrive on April 24, the same day she turns 30 years old.

The project, according to a press release, “marks a defining moment in her career” and “captures her at her most honest, blending soul-baring storytelling with [her] lush, genre-bending sound.”

In the album, she’ll explore the themes of love, transformation and vulnerability and growth, doing so in a “raw, reflective and unapologetic” way.

The self-titled album, marking Kehlani’s fifth studio project, is now available for presave, with signed vinyls, t-shirts, CDs and more available for preorder. Alternate cover exclusives will only be available until Friday at noon ET.

Unless you’re in Austin for the Tuesday premiere of Lainey Wilson’s Netflix documentary, you’ll have to wait more than a month to see it. 

But you can get a sneak peek at Keepin’ Country Cool on YouTube.

“I knew whenever I had written my first song that I loved how it made me feel when I was in the middle of writing a song, when I was coming up with the idea, feeling like ‘man, I created something from nothing, how cool is that?'” Lainey says in the clip, which takes you inside a writing session with Trannie Anderson and Dallas Wilson.

“And I knew that that feeling was so special that I couldn’t completely let it go,” she continues. “And I think that’s why I knew it was my calling.” 

It’s worth checking out the preview just to see the footage of a young Lainey playing a guitar that’s almost as big as she is. 

Lainey Wilson: Keepin’ Country Cool premieres April 22 on Netflix.

Swarovski global brand ambassador Ariana Grande has launched a new capsule collection with the jewelry brand.

Ariana co-created the collection, and in a statement, she says, “This capsule is inspired by nature and the magic that exists everywhere around us on this extraordinary planet!”

“We wanted to design a collection that brings a bit more color, wonder and playfulness into our everyday lives, as well as reminds us to appreciate the beauty that constantly surrounds us. I’m so excited for you all to enjoy it!”

In the promotional campaign, Ari looks like a fairy seated on a lily pad adorned with jewelry shaped like dragonflies and flowers. A bejeweled dragonfly lands on her hand, she whispers to it and then lets it go.

The new 29-piece collection includes earrings, necklaces, rings, hair accessories, brooches, hair pins and more.

In honor of the launch, the Swarovski store on New York’s Fifth Avenue is hosting a pop-up Tuesday afternoon called Ariana’s Garden, with live music, and touch-ups with Ariana’s r.e.m. beauty “Fembot” collection.

On This Day, March 17, 1998: Van Halen releases ‘Van Halen III’ with new lead singer Gary Cherone

On This Day, March 17, 1998 …

Van Halen released their 11th studio album, Van Halen III, their first with new lead singer Gary Cherone.

Cherone was the band’s third lead singer, following original frontman David Lee Roth, who left the group in 1985, and Sammy Hagar, who parted ways with the band 1996. The album was also the last to feature bassist Michael Anthony, who appeared on only three of the tracks.

While the album peaked at #4 on the Billboard 200, it was a commercial disappointment for the band and wasn’t a hit with critics or fans.

Van Halen III was the only album Van Halen released with Cherone. The band didn’t release another album until 2012’s A Different Kind of Truth, which was a reunion album with Roth.
