Miley Cyrus reveals she wrote new single ‘Easy Lover' for Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter album
has revealed that her upcoming single 'Easy Lover' was originally intended for to sing. The star is due to release the song tomorrow as the final single ahead of her highly anticipated new album . Cyrus co-wrote the song with OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder, who previously penned hits for Beyoncé like 'Halo', 'XO', and the singer's GRAMMY winning duet with Cyrus 'II Most Wanted'. Speaking to Zane Lowe promoting Something Beautiful, Cyrus explained that 'Easy Lover' came from the same sessions as 'II Most Wanted'. 'That one is funny because there's an ad-lib where I say 'Tell 'em B', and that was Beyoncé, because she was taking songs for her country album,' Cyrus admitted. The 'Flowers' singer explained that she first began working on the song whilst making music for her 2021 rock-influenced album Plastic Hearts, and then later adapted it match the sound of Cowboy Carter. 'I had written originally that song around Plastic Heart days and never got the production quite where I wanted it. I had written it with totally different verse but the chorus I had always loved,' she elaborated. 'That was around 2020-2021, and then I held on to it and when Beyoncé was looking for songs for her country record, I remembered that chorus and was like, 'That would work really well for country', and so I started working on that.' 'She chose 'Shotgun Rider', or what do you call it? 'II Most Wanted',' the performer revealed. 'The demo was called' Shotgun Rider'. She was like 'II Most Wanted – that's us'. I was like, 'That is so the perfect title'.' The 'Wrecking Ball' songstress, who is also releasing a film to accompany Something Beautiful which will screen in UK cinemas on 27 June, explained that Alabama Shakes frontwoman Brittany Howard offered to perform on the track, thus becoming the 'B' Cyrus refers to on the ad-lib. 'I still had 'Easy Lover', and so I just was like 'What am I going to do about 'Tell em B'? And Brittany Howard's like 'I'll play the guitar on it', so that's her playing all that electric guitar,' Cyrus said. Howard also features on another track on the upcoming LP entitled 'Walk of Fame'. The pair previously performed together at the Saturday Night Live 50 celebration earlier this year. 'Easy Lover' and the album Something Beautiful are released next Friday, 30 May. The post Miley Cyrus reveals she wrote new single 'Easy Lover' for Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter album appeared first on Attitude.

The group's 2009 sophomore album, Waking Up, featured the smash singles 'All the Right Moves,' 'Secrets' and 'Good Life.' Shortly after in 2013, the band released their certified-platinum album, Native, which included the No. 1 hit and 41 million selling single 'Counting Stars.'

Zara Larsson, 'One of pop's biggest and outspoken young stars' (The Guardian), provokes and pushes pop culture forward, with enlightened and energised anthems that soar and seduce all at once. With every move, she continues to quietly make history and break records: her platinum-certified 2017 full-length, So Good, notably stands out as one of the most-streamed debuts on Spotify by a female artist ever. Zara's growing catalogue boasts one smash after another, from 'Never Forget You', 'Lush Life', and 'Ain't My Fault' to Clean Bandit collaboration 'Symphony'. Along the way, she has received awards and nominations ranging from the Swedish Grammys, BRITS and MTV EMAs to even gracing the stage of the Nobel Peace Prize. Larsson has entered a brazen new era with 'Pretty Ugly'. The electro-blasted single and its gloriously messy music video lean all the way into the idea that — as Zara sings — 'sometimes a girl don't wanna be well-behaved.' The new song arrives ahead of Zara's fourth international album — coming later this year.

Jessie J sends fans wild as she drops brand-new single - and unveils stunning artwork
Jessie J has sent fans into a frenzy after dropping a brand-new single and unveiling the stunning official artwork for the track on Friday. Following the release of her deeply personal and reflective song No Secrets last month, the singer, 37, has returned with Living My Best Life - a vibrant, feel-good anthem bursting with positivity. Produced by GRAMMY-winning hitmaker Ryan Tedder, the new single is a celebration of joy and self-expression, serving as the perfect yin to No Secrets yang. The exuberant throwback track came to Jessie while driving through LA, with the best of Whitney Houston and Prince blaring from her Jeep. Speaking about the song, Jessie said: 'I love the sense of moving upwards, so Living My Best Life has that same feeling. It feels timeless, classic, 80s. It makes you want to dance.' In the newly released artwork, Jessie stuns in nothing but a brown blazer and oversized tortoiseshell sunglasses. Beaming during the shoot, she styled her brunette tresses in voluminous waves and accessorised with chunky gold hoop earrings. Following the announcement, fans flocked to her Instagram to express their excitement. One fan wrote: 'FAVORITE SONG!!! the voice! the attitude! the vibe! the lyric video! THE OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO!!!! it's all sooo goood! ❤️.'; 'Happy release day!! It's on repeat.'; 'You are EVERYTHING! ❤️'; 'LIVING MY BEST LIFE is an epic feel good anthem soo hyped for this seeing live 2nd time at Wembley Stadium!!' This comes after Jessie dazzled audiences at the BAFTA Television Awards with a sensational performance of power-ballad The Award Goes To - marking her first television performance in six years. However, the star doesn't plan on slowing down anytime soon as she is also set to headline an intimate acoustic show at London's Union Chapel on May 20. This sold-out performance will give fans their first chance to hear her new material live, alongside a selection of fan favourites. She'll also return to the stage at Capital's Summertime Ball on June 15, performing at Wembley Stadium for the first time in 11 years. Despite not releasing new music in 2023, Jessie reportedly earned a staggering £7.6 million - equivalent to nearly £28,000 per day - following her decision to cut ties with record label Republic and manage her own career. In September 2023, she announced her departure from Republic after 17 years, sharing the news in a heartfelt Instagram video. Dressed casually in a hoodie and baseball cap, she told fans: 'My lawyer said that I need to make a statement about the decision that I have made. I don't want it to feel like a huge, big thing.' She continued: 'After 17 years, I have decided to leave Republic Records. I was about six months pregnant when I made this decision. 'Monte and Avery Lipman, and Jason Flomm have been so gracious and kind in supporting my decision and letting me go. It's been the most amazing high and low ride of my life. 'I just feel so grateful to have been signed to the best record label in the world. I have to just be honest with who I am and what I want from my career now. 'There's no negative spin, it's not dramatic. I just didn't feel right being signed, and it hasn't for years. So, I need to stop just trusting my instincts and ask for them... so now I am unemployed. 'I am now in the process of doing all the legalities and sorting out the music so I can put out new music and do it my way. On my time and my terms. 'Now I have had a baby, there is just no stopping me. Something happens when you have a baby and just start giving zero f**ks. But there is nothing but good vibes. Captioning the post, she added: 'Not me looking like Johnny Depp from Charlie and the chocolate factory for my big statement. 'Thank you Monte and Avery Lipman, Jason Flomm, and everyone who I've worked with at Republic for the past 17 years. What a rollercoaster. Mic drop.' Jessie welcomed her first child, a son named Sky, in May 2023 with her partner, basketball player Chanan Safir Colman. The couple, who began dating in 2021, announced the pregnancy in January 2023.
