- Rising singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Lyn Lapid announces the release of her long-awaited debut album BUZZKILL, out April 25th via Mercury Records. Lapid celebrates the exciting announcement by gifting her fans with her second single off the upcoming record, “i’ll be happy when,” out now—listen HERE. Lyn spent the past few years carefully crafting what would become BUZZKILL, inspired by the isolating experiences surrounding her move from her small suburban hometown in Maryland to the bustling city of Los Angeles, and all of the mixed emotions that came along with them. She shares, “Moving to the West Coast was a struggle. It was the first time I was in a new place by myself, and I didn’t know anyone outside of my roommates. I’d go to parties because I thought it was better than being alone. It was an attempt to find community, but it just became a cycle of meaningless interactions. Every time I went out with my friends, I felt like a ‘buzzkill’ because it seemed like I had always brought the mood down. However, it only seemed that way because I was with the wrong people. I needed to accept that I shouldn’t have to force myself to settle for surface-level friendships and relationships. It opened an opportunity to find new and truly meaningful connections and friendships.” BUZZKILL takes listeners on this all-too-relatable journey with Lyn, from experiencing loneliness and feelings of no
- GRAMMY®, Tony®, and EMMY® Award winner and three-time Academy® Award nominee Cynthia Erivo shares her powerful new solo single “Replay” out now via Verve Records/Republic Records. She notably co-wrote the song with Justin Tranter (Selena Gomez, Chappell Roan, Lady Gaga), and it marks her first solo release since 2021. Listen HERE and watch the visualizer HERE. The track is built off of Cynthia’s peerless vocal harmonies, with multiple layers of her voice being combined into a sound that is as striking as it is singular. Cynthia immediately transfixes the listener with a vulnerable, yet vital vocal performance, as she opens up with a confession, “I’m a constant work in progress, and I can’t keep fears at bay.” Processing emotional turbulence aloud, her chantable chorus takes hold in a sweet cycle of irresistible repetition, “My mind is like a record, setup on auto-replay.”
- Five-time GRAMMY® Award nominated and multiple ACM and CMA Award winning multiplatinum songwriter, producer and author Kelsea Ballerini has announced a highly anticipated deluxe edition of her 2024 album, PATTERNS, will be released on Friday March 7, 2025 via Black River Entertainment. PATTERNS (DELUXE), now available to pre-save and pre-order, features five new songs—including the hooky and sleek “Future Tripping,” which she debuted live on Feb. 26 during a show in Fort Worth, Texas. The wistful song explores the anxiety and uncertainty that accompanies the passage of time: “I don’t want to impose / Some things we’re not supposed to know yet / But my head won’t stop,” Ballerini sings over snappy guitar licks and bright programmed drums. The 20-track edition also includes the fingerpicked ballad (and previously issued digital bonus track) “To The Men That Love Women After Heartbreak,” the punchy and atmospheric “Put It To Bed,” the soulful and sonically shifting “Cut Me Up,” and the earnestly strummed “Hindsight Is Happiness.”

The achievement makes it his second track to enter the streaming platform's prestigious Billions Club, following “No Lie” featuring Dua Lipa. This milestone arrives as The Trinity—the album that birthed “Temperature”—celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. Released by VP Records/Atlantic Records, the Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum project featured hits like “We Be Burnin’” and “Give It Up to Me”, cementing Sean Paul’s dominance in the mid-2000s and becoming one of the best-selling dancehall albums of all time.
