"Eat U Alive," the first single from Adam Lambert's upcoming album, ADAM, takes its sonic cues from '90s alternative rock. But for his new single, "Under the Rhythm," he's looking back to 2000.

The dark dance tune interpolates ATC's "Around the World (La La La La La)," which came out in November 2000 and hit the top 30 in 2001. There's also a video that features a bizarre-looking Adam held captive in what looks like a mental institution before he breaks out, reverts to his normal self and dances in a darkened space together with a group of other people.

Adam says the song is "about overcoming life’s hardships through the connective and healing power of music," adding, "It encourages the listener to keep pushing forward, one day at a time, one dance at a time, toward joy.”

"It's easier to breath again/ The beat is in my soul/ Now I just need to find a friend/ To take the party home," he sings, describing a night out at the club.

ADAM comes out July 10. Tickets are on sale now for his album release shows, which run from July 10 in LA through July 23 in Berlin, Germany, with stops in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and London.

It's a Love, er, Toy Story — baby, just say yes.

The video for Taylor Swift's new song "I Knew It, I Knew You" from Toy Story 5 has just arrived on Spotify and Apple Music. Taylor doesn't appear in the clip; it focuses on Jessie, Toy Story's cowgirl character. Voiced by Joan Cusack, Jessie inspired Taylor's song.

The clip is edited to focus on Jessie's relationships with Woody, who's like her brother, and Buzz Lightyear, who she has romantic feelings for. It also touches on how she was traumatized after being abandoned by her original kid, Emily, and her joy after her subsequent adoption, first by Andy and then Bonnie, and her love for them.

In the new Toy Story movie, the toys have to fight a new electronic tablet named Lilypad; Bonnie becomes obsessed with it, leaving Woody, Jessie, Buzz and the gang feeling neglected. "First we were playin', then the world started changin'," laments Jessie in the trailer. She also says, "Bonnie still needs us! Our time ain't over yet!"

Toy Story 5 is in theaters June 19.

Steve Lacy is back with new music.

The singer is set to drop his third studio album, Oh yeah?, on July 17. He has released the record’s first single, “the feeling,” along with an accompanying music video.

The album is described in a press release as Lacy’s “most personal art to date,” noting it’s “the culmination of a four year journey whereupon Steve found himself feeling at home in foreign countries and situations and less at home at home.”

Oh yeah? is the follow-up to 2022’s Gemini Rights, which was Lacy's major label debut. It reached the top 10 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart and went to #1 on the Top Rock Albums chart. The album featured the hit song “Bad Habit,” which hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Oh yeah? is available for preorder now.

The meaning of Alex Warren's new album title has been revealed.

Wildchild will be out Aug. 28, and Alex says in a statement, “Growing up, my dad used to call me Wildchild so it’s always had a special meaning and I even have it tattooed on me."

“Creating this album was really healing, therapeutic and a way for me to continue finding out more about myself," he continues. "This album really shows where I am in my life today and compared to my first album which feels like a man who is broken, this one is a man who's trying to heal."

"It’s been really nice to be able to confront those feelings and also be able to share them with the world to give everyone a transparent view into my life.”

In an interview with Hits Radio UK, Alex says the songs on the album can be summed up as, "I hate you, I love you, and I love my wife and I miss you." As he puts it, "I wanted to have at least a song or two for each emotion you feel."

Alex has also released "Passenger," a song from the new album that he's been teasing on social media. In the song's music video, Alex tries everything he can to get a girl's attention — he sings in front of her, shoots off confetti, uses a flamethrower, lifts weights and does magic tricks — but she just keeps on looking at her phone.

Finally, he drives a forklift through the wall, only to see her go off with the guy who was helping him do the magic tricks.

Fans first became aware that Taylor Swift might be involved with Toy Story 5 on April 30, when she posted and then deleted a Toy Story-coded countdown on her website. But the folks behind the movie had been keeping the fact that she wrote a song for the film a secret for months.

As Variety reports, Thomas Jordan, the VFX supervisor for Toy Story 5, took part in a panel in London on Friday, during which he revealed that "a very small group" of people connected with the film knew about the song back in February.

"She actually saw an early version of the film, she requested to see it before it was finished and she wrote the song and then asked us if we wanted it. And we said, ‘Uh, yes! Yes we do,’" Jordan said, as per Variety. "That was in February, so we’ve had to keep it a secret ever since then.”

He also revealed that the "very small group" had to "create a decoy version" of the movie without Taylor's song in it so they had something to show to the Disney/Pixar staff and the press.

“The crew that made Toy Story 5 did not know about this secret until last week,” he said.

The song, "I Knew It, I Knew You," is out now. Toy Story 5, which pits Buzz, Woody, Jessie and the gang against Lilypad, an electronic tablet who takes kids' attention away from good ol' regular toys, arrives June 19.

Sara Bareilles' new documentary, Good Grief, captures in an emotional and joyous way the making of her upcoming album of the same name. It premiered Thursday at New York's Tribeca Festival, and following the screening, she brought her band onstage to perform some of the new music.

Sara opened with the album's first single, "Home," followed by "Just a Kid," "Still Crying," "Heartland" and "Nervous Breakdown," the latter co-written by her longtime pal Ingrid Michaelson.  

On the red carpet ahead of the screening, Sara told ABC Audio that the movie was inspired by a desire to share more openly the grief she's experienced in her personal life. She lost two of her best friends to cancer, and she's also struggled with infertility and her mental health. So she asked her "trusted friend" director Josh Alexander to film the recording sessions.

"I was like, 'Is there something here? If we just go in and make this an experiment, knowing that this might not work, and we might come out with nothing?'" Sara said. "And he really quickly said yes and we got the team together. And I'm so grateful, because it feels like, if I didn't have these days captured, I don't know what I would do." 

Onstage after the screening, Sarah said, "The last five years of my life have been a deep excavation of a lot of grief and a lot of joy and a lot of ... faith in the mystery of how things move. But I really hope people come away feeling a little closer to themselves."

"I think the more we can really have grace and compassion for our own pain, we can have it for others and be a sounding board," she continued. "We really, really need each other."

You can dance for inspiration -- in New York's Times Square.

That's where Madonna got into the groove Thursday night, putting on a free concert for more than 50,000 fans. She performed a new track from her upcoming album Confessions II -- "Love Sensation" -- along with the previously released songs "I Feel So Free" and "Bring Your Love." She also treated the crowd to three songs from her 2005 album Confessions on a Dance Floor: "Hung Up," "Get Together" and "I Love New York."

The performance, which doubled as a celebration of Pride Month, was livestreamed through the LGBTQ+ dating app Grindr, which advertises that the footage will be available "soon" on its website.

"Thank you, New York!! You made tonight a Love Sensation! Happy Pride!" she captioned a carousel of photos from the concert on Instagram.

On Friday night, Madonna will appear at New York's Tribeca Festival to premiere a 10-minute short film featuring the first six songs from Confessions II. She'll then participate in a Q&A with the film's directors TORSO, aka David Toro and Solomon Chase, moderated by Jimmy Fallon.

Taylor Swift's new original song for Toy Story 5 is here.

The music superstar shared the song, "I Knew It, I Knew You," on social media Friday alongside an adorable video of herself as a little girl, marching around in cowboy boots and a cowboy hat, like the Toy Story character Jessie, whose journey inspired the song.

"Writing this song felt like a musical departure and coming home at the same time. Creating something for Jessie was a new challenge and also felt like second nature all at once," Taylor captioned the video. "And being a @toystorykid from the age of 5 til now… is an adventure I plan to be on, to infinity and beyond."

Taylor noted that she reunited with Jack Antonoff for the song, adding, "We wrote this with so much adoration for these characters that made us laugh and helped us learn lessons and think outside the backyard all throughout our childhoods."

She also shouted out legendary singer/songwriter Randy Newman, whose song "You've Got a Friend in Me" has been featured throughout the franchise. "Thank you to the incomparable @randynewmanofficial for the gorgeous sonic tapestry of songs and scores you’ve meticulously woven over the years," she wrote. "You created the Toy Story musical world, and we are lucky to get to live in it."

The song, which features more organic instrumentation than Taylor's recent work, has her singing, "I remembered I loved you/ Came back when it mattered/ I saw you/ Standing there in the light of the window wearing that same smile/ Man, it's been a while/ But I knew it, I knew you/ I knew it, I knew you."

Toy Story 5 hits theaters on Friday, June 19.

In the new John Carney movie Power Ballad, Nick Jonas plays a former boy band member who steals a song from Rick — a wedding singer played by Paul Rudd — and uses it to establish his solo career. Nick said he really wanted work with Carney and Rudd, but took on the role of Danny in the film because he could relate to it on several levels.

"I've lived a lot of these experiences," he told ABC Audio. "And not just the career stuff and the fame aspect of Danny's life, but the songwriting and the journey to find yourself, push the envelope, do something different, the pressure that you can feel."

That pressure is what leads Danny to claim Rick's song as his own. Rick then crashes out, and begins regretting putting his own music career on hold to have a family. Nick says the movie asks the question, "How far would you go to get everything you ever wanted, and at what cost?"

Carney told ABC Audio that he chose Nick because it was important to him to cast an actual musician in the role of Danny. 

"He just has stood on so many stages in the world. He walks onto a stage and he just is natural, he knows how it works," Carney said. He added that an actor "can't carry that off as well as a real singer who's been onstage since he was like 6."

As for Rudd, he shows off some very impressive singing and guitar skills in the film. But he didn't look at it as a way to surprise people with his hidden talents.

"I'm always just like, 'Oh God, I hope I don't fall on my face,'" he said. "But I feel that with just about every job I do. ... It's more of just, 'I hope it's believable.'"

Role Model is gearing up for a new album, and as such, he says he won't be continuing his signature live performance gimmick: bringing up a guest to dance with him each night during his breakthrough hit "Sally, When the Wine Runs Out."

The gimmick went viral as Role Model brought up everyone from Natalie Portman and Charli XCX to Olivia Rodrigo, Kate Hudson and Hilary Duff to dance with him. But speaking to Rolling Stone, he says, "I have no plans to keep that going. I think it's good to know when to end a bit."

Plus, Role Model thinks that his new album, Chuck Timely & The Hourglass, is strong enough that he doesn't have to rely on a schtick to get his crowds excited.

"If this album wasn’t good, I’d be like, 'Yeah, we should probably keep the Sally bit going, I gotta sell tickets,'" he says. "But I feel very good about this record, and I don’t think people will even give a s*** [if I don't do it], to be honest."

Role Model notes that he decided in February to stop doing it, because he says that if he kept it going, "It’s just gonna die out and be this sad thing."

"It was just a happy accident, and I’m really grateful for it," he adds. "But I’m not gonna be defined by being the dude who brings out Sallys at his shows."

Chuck Timely & The Hourglass is due Aug. 7. Rolling Stone says the album "explores [Role Model's] journey after a very public break-up with Emma Chamberlain," the influencer and YouTube star.

When host Pink takes the stage to perform her opening number at the Tony Awards on Sunday, it might remind you of The Greatest Showman. Or maybe Dear Evan Hansen. Or maybe La La Land.

That's because, as Pink tells Playbill, Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, the duo who wrote the songs for all those projects, have written her opening number for her.

"They did me a solid by doing this opening with me," Pink said, adding that Neil Patrick Harris, who has hosted the Tonys numerous times, has been "totally supportive" and has given her "a lot of great advice."

Pink, Benj and Justin go back to at least 2018, when she recorded a version of "A Million Dreams" for the album The Greatest Showman: Reimagined. Her daughter, Willow Sage Heart, now 15, also sang on the album.

Pink also reveals that there will be "up to 170 people" onstage with her during the number, joking, "Because I'm not enough." She adds that she "gets to be ridiculous and make fun of myself right away, which was my one rule."

The Tony Awards air live on CBS Sunday night.

After offering fans limited-edition CDs of her new Toy Story 5 song, Taylor Swift has put some vinyl versions up for sale — with a twist.

Instead of the usual 7-inch vinyls, there are two 10-inch vinyls available to order now. One of them is pressed in the star shape of Toy Story 5 character Jessie's sheriff's badge. Taylor's Toy Story 5 song "I Knew It, I Knew You" was inspired by Jessie's journey in the film.

These so-called "collector's edition" vinyls are only available until Friday at 1:59 p.m. ET or while supplies last. They'll ship on or around June 19, but you won't have to wait to hear the song: it arrives on digital platforms on Friday.

When she announced the song, Taylor wrote on Instagram, "I’ve always dreamed of getting to write for these characters who I’ve adored since I was a 5 year old kid watching the first Toy Story movie."

Michael Jackson's hit biopic has boosted his catalog of hits, but it's a deep cut that went viral that helped him capture an all-time chart record.

After becoming popular on social media, "Chicago," from The King of Pop's posthumous 2014 album Xscape, has now debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at #30. That makes Michael the first artist ever to have at least one new song debut on the Hot 100 in every decade since the '70s.

He sent 11 songs into the chart in that decade, according to Billboard, followed by 20 songs in the '80s. He then had 12 in the '90s, four in the 2000s, four in the 2010s and now one in the 2020s.

"Chicago" is now so popular that it's currently the singer's second-highest-charting song on the Hot 100, after "Billie Jean," which is at #19.

Xscape, which was released five years after Michael's passing, spun off two chart hits in 2014: "Love Never Felt So Good" featuring Justin Timberlake and "Slave to the Rhythm."  "Chicago" was never a single.

If you want to know what Olivia Rodrigo's gone through romantically, just listen to her new album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love.

Speaking to Dazed magazine, Olivia says, "This album is about my first time being in an adult relationship; it’s me discovering what romantic love looks like in real time. I’ve been in relationships before that were really exciting and tumultuous in a teenage way, but this was my first time being in a real, 'big girl' relationship."

She adds, "When you’re in an intimate relationship, it holds up a mirror and shows you parts of yourself that you would never normally see. That was an endless source of inspiration – something that I’m still mining."

When asked whether fans will find clues about her current relationship status in the album, Olivia says, "There’s a song for someone who’s going through any stage of a relationship. I mean, I never talk about my personal life in interviews or on any public forum, so I guess the music is where people would go to deduce things. But, you know, it’s just a song at the end of the day."

There has been speculation that some of the album was inspired by Olivia's rumored breakup with actor Louis Partridge, but it doesn't seem to have destroyed her emotionally. She tells Dazed, "I just feel like heartbreak will never be as bad as it was when you were 17 years old. That breakup that I went through when I was 17... oh my God, nothing will ever be that tough ever again."

She adds, "I also think going through a breakup can be a really awesome opportunity to redirect your life in a [way] that feels more aligned with who you are."

Katy Perry has added another stop to her summer European festival tour, thanks to Dua Lipa.

Dua posted a video on Instagram featuring a phone call from Katy, who tells her rehearsals for her summer festival run are "intense."

"I'm going all over Europe, June to the end of August," she says.

"Amazing," Dua responds. "Are you gonna be anywhere where I can come see you?"

"I'm actually gonna be in this place called Prishtina," Katy answers, referring to the capital of Kosovo, where Dua's family is from and where she spent part of her childhood.

"No way," says Dua. "What are you doing there?"

"Funny you should ask," Katy replies, grinning. "I'm actually playing this festival called the Sunny Hill Festival!"

The Sunny Hill Festival is organized each year by Dua and her father. While Dua typically performs at the event, she also books a wide variety of international talent.

"Oh my God! You're coming to my hometown, KP!" yells Dua.

"I just wanna say thank you so much for inviting me to come there," Katy says. "Because I have so many fans that I'm excited to meet.  And of course, all of your fans as well. Are you gonna be there?"

Dua tells her, "I'm gonna be there, singing every single word!"

The Sunny Hill Festival runs from July 31 through Aug. 2, with Katy set to perform on opening night. Past Sunny Hill Festival performers have included Miley Cyrus, Calvin Harris, Bebe Rexha and Shawn Mendes.

Welcome to the three-comma club, Beyoncé.

She's one of the new additions to the 2026 Forbes list of America's Richest Self-Made Women. What put her over the top? According to the publication, it was her 2025 Cowboy Carter tour, which grossed more than $450 million in ticket sales and merchandise. Beyoncé is tied with several other women for #39; the list includes 43 women in total.

Among the musicians featured, Taylor Swift ranks the highest at #23, with an estimated net worth of $2 billion. That's based on royalties from her music, income from touring, her music catalog — which is worth an estimated $600 million — and a real estate portfolio worth $110 million.

The only other musician on the list is Rihanna, who also ranks at #39 with an estimated net worth of $1 billion. However, that's not from her music. Much of her wealth comes from her cosmetics line, Fenty Beauty, and her Savage X Fenty lingerie line. The mother of three is allegedly working on a new album, which would be her first since Anti released in 2016.

Ellie Goulding will release her new album, I Know Too Much, on Sept. 4. The first single, "Black Prada Dress," will be out on Friday. Ellie's friend Katy Perry is excited about it: She wrote in the comments, "OK im sat."

Speaking of Katy Perry, she posted a video of her "rehearsing" for her upcoming festival dates. In it, she sings a slowed-down, country-tinged version of her hit "Roar" with absolutely no enthusiasm. "rehearsals for the summer festival show are going great thanks for asking," she captioned the video. One fan commented sarcastically, "New roar arrangement is lit wow."

Sienna Spiro has released an official video for her album's title track, "The Visitor." "I feel it captures the true essence of what it means to be a visitor, feeling like a spectator in your own life, just passing through someone else’s experience," she wrote on Instagram.

Looks like Benson Boone will have some new music before he hits the road for his Wanted Man tour in July.

Benson has revealed on social media that he'll be dropping a project called "The Time of My Life" on June 26. It's not yet clear if it's a new single, a new album or perhaps — as rumors have suggested — a movie soundtrack song.

In one video, Benson sits down in a chair and props his feet up, revealing the title and release date on the bottom of his shoes. A phone then begins, prompting him to get up and answer it.

In another video, Benson walks through a puddle of water to a neon sign reading, "The Time of My Life." You can just hear him sing the first word of the song -- "I" -- before the video ends. 

On his Instagram Story, he wrote, "Everything is a clue. Remember that."

Benson hasn't released new music since his 2025 album, American Heart. The video for one of the album's single, "Mr. Electric Blue," is among the music videos that will be screened June 9 at New York's Tribeca Festival, as part of the festivals Shorts programs. 

The Wanted Man tour launches July 7 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
