Demi Lovato teases her return to pop music with preview of 'Fast' single: 'Told y'all i've been cooking'
Over the last week, Lovato has shared snippets of her upcoming single on TikTok. Demi Lovato is ready to return to pop. The 32-year-old singer has hinted at her return to dance-pop music with a series of videos posted to her TikTok over the last week. Lovato's most recent video, shared on Monday, shows her in a recording studio playfully 'resurrecting' her pop-heavy sound. 'My pop music coming back to life after we had a funeral for it,' reads text on Lovato's video. The 'funeral' Lovato is referring to took place in January 2022, when the singer hosted 'a funeral for my pop music' with music executives from Island Records, including Scooter Braun, her manager at the time. Dressed in all black with her middle fingers to the camera, Lovato seemingly bid adieu to her once signature pop sound. She released her rock album Holy Fvck in August of that year. Hours before posting her latest video on TikTok, Lovato shared a series of photos on Instagram, which showcase her in the studio recording new music. The carousel of images marked Lovato's fifth post since she completely wiped her feed clean. The Instagram overhaul, as many fans are familiar, is typically a telltale sign that something big is coming for an artist — and that a new musical era is on the way. In Lovato's case, however, it seems the singer is returning to form — and to her pop powerhouse roots. In a handful of videos posted to TikTok in the last week, Lovato dropped previews of her song 'Fast,' her forthcoming, dance-pop single and first solo release in three years. One video shows Lovato lip-syncing to the track's lyrics. Over a pop-infused, heavy house-like beat, Lovato sings defiantly, 'Cuz baby honestly/ I just wanna feel your hands all over me (over and over)/ Right where they wanna be/ Even if it's only for tonight,' as the camera anticipates her every move. Another video, with the caption, 'told y'all i've been cooking,' shows Lovato in the vocal booth as a new snippet of 'Fast' plays. 'I wanna go fast/ I wanna go hard/ I wanna go anywhere, anywhere you are,' Lovato sings. Lovato's ninth studio album is reportedly in its final stages. The forthcoming album, a source close to former Disney Channel star told Rolling Stone, sees the singer wholeheartedly embracing the vigorous, electronic sound of some of her biggest pop hits. Following her recent marriage to Jordan 'Jutes' Lutes in May, Lovato appears to have turned a new page in life and is ready to embrace the parts of herself that she, and her fans, have long loved. What she's pulling together, added the source, is a 'celebratory dance-pop album.' 'Over the past few years, Demi has found love, joy, and newfound confidence, making the choice to approach life with much more lightness and fun,' the source told Rolling Stone. 'She took this sentiment into the studio, which can be felt in every track on this celebratory dance-pop album.' Also featured in Lovato's latest TikTok is music producer Zhone, who is responsible for bringing tracks like 'Joyride' by Kesha and 'Rush' by Troye Sivan to life. Lovato tapped Zhone to executive produce her new album. Zhone told Rolling Stone of working with Lovato, 'It's been so inspiring working with Demi and experiencing her journey of continued leveling up. She is such a master in the studio. This album is about letting inhibitions go, and we had so much fun making this music! It really comes across throughout.' Before teasing her lead single 'Fast' and the accompanying sound of her upcoming album, Lovato, during an appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, revealed that she was 'working on new music' but was admittedly still trying to pinpoint her sound. 'I'm kind of figuring out my sound right now,' Lovato said in September 2024. 'I tend to write from the place that I am in, in the moment. … It's actually been like, it's been amazing. I've been writing just nothing but, like, love songs and like sexy songs 'cause I'm just in this, like, really good place. And so it feels good to be able to write coming from that place.'

Dua Lipa: she has everything a popstar needs
Dua Lipa has everything the modern popstar needs, except personality. On the plus side, she can sing with power, dance with skill, looks fantastic in whatever she wears and has presided over some of the most thrilling dance-pop hits of recent years. Her prodigious talents and work ethic have helped make the 29-year-old English-Albanian singer Britain's biggest (indeed only) new global pop export of this decade. So there was a justifiable air of triumph about the prospect of performing two shows at Wembley Stadium, in the city where she was born. It is a very big deal, and Lipa and her team have thrown everything at it: huge high-definition screens, catwalks, second stages, elevator platforms, pyrotechnics, confetti, streamers, fireworks and banging hit after banging hit – from One Kiss to Don't Start Now – that got 70,000 fans dancing delightedly. There is even, for the briefest of moments, something that passes for emotion, as the star seems close to tears when she says the magic word 'Wembley.' 'I have a lump in my throat,' Lipa declares, perma-grin briefly wobbling. 'I feel like I've been waiting my whole life for this moment.' Lipa is very keen on manifesting dreams, and this is pretty much the only thing she talked about, with gushing between song interjections about her career highs. It is a bit of a pet peeve, but when did audiences become responsible for fulfilling an entertainer's dreams and not the other way around? The problem for Lipa becomes apparent when you wonder what all this manifestation was really for – because if there is something missing from her slickly professional performance, it is the artist herself, who seems singularly unequipped for the kind of charismatic communication that really energises such mass entertainment events. An attempt to descend from the stage to talk to fans drained all the energy from the stadium. Lipa was projected onto the big screens, pouting for selfies. 'Are you having a good time?' she politely asked wild-eyed boys and girls pressed against the barriers, like a member of the Royal Family trying to communicate with the great unwashed. An underlying artificiality interfered with the show achieving emotional lift off. I'm sure Lipa's seven musicians are all accomplished players, but they are restricted to accompanying pre-recorded tracks with no room for self-expression; everything got engulfed in the huge digital bass sound that bombarded the stadium. A trumpet soloed artfully with no trumpeter on stage. Twelve dancers swirled around the star, whose vocals continued uninterrupted whether she was singing or not, as is the modern way. There was a brief murmur of excitement when she introduced one of her musical heroes for a duet, and a mass rumble of disappointment when it turned out to be Jay Kay from Jamiroquai (or 'who?' as the young woman in front of me asked her boyfriend). The old funk popstar sounded edgeless and adrift in a mushily bland rendition of Virtual Insanity. Stadium gigs are a challenge for entertainers, even with modern bells and whistles. It is not Lipa's fault that London has just been rocked by Beyoncé, amongst the best in the business at blending soul and scale with charismatic purpose. But for a modern star whose ambition is sky-high, Lipa is turning out to be an oddly old-fashioned showgirl. Dua Lipa plays Wembley Stadium again tonight, and Anfield Stadium, Liverpool on 24 and 25 June. Tickets:

Reality Star Brandi Glanville Teams Up With RIP Youth And Achieves Dance-Pop Glory
Dance-pop artist Rip Youth teams up with Brandi Glanville and Beks for 'Remedy' — a vibrant summer anthem celebrating trust, growth, and reinvention. LA, CA, UNITED STATES, May 23, 2025 / / -- Australian dance-pop pioneer Rip Youth makes a powerful return with his latest single 'Remedy', a vibrant, vocal-driven anthem featuring an unexpected yet electric collaboration with reality TV star Brandi Glanville and rising pop talent Beks. A feel-good fusion of genre-blending production and raw vocal energy, Remedy is more than a summer-ready track — it's a testament to creative chemistry, mutual trust, and artistic growth. 'There's also a trust factor,' Rip Youth explains. 'Brandi knows I've been making music for a long time, so I'd tell her when something was off, and she would trust my opinion. But honestly, Brandi is a great writer - she didn't need much help in that department.' While Glanville is widely known for her role on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, her vocal talent is winning over both fans and former castmates. Since the track's release, Remedy has garnered support across social media from familiar names like Lisa Rinna, Phaedra Parks, Camille Grammer, Teresa Giudice, and Kristen Taekman — a wave of support that surprised even Glanville herself. 'The reaction to the song so far has been amazing,' Rip Youth shares. 'Seeing Brandi's ex-castmates sharing it was a really beautiful, unexpected nod to her and her vocal talent. Especially after the whole debacle with Bravo, it's easy for people to side with popular opinion or whoever's signing the checks. So I think even Brandi was a little taken aback.' Back in the studio, Glanville embraced the process with her signature perfectionism and surprising ease. 'She showed up a little nervous,' he says, 'because everything she does, she wants it to be the best. But once we settled into a safe space, she relaxed. Our vocal producer Matt held her hand through it, and before long, she was surprised at how good she sounded. We even had her add some love to the chorus.' For Glanville, the project marked a full-circle moment — connecting her early love of performance with a new chapter in music. 'I'm looking forward to traveling again to promote and perform Remedy with people I adore,' she says. 'Everyone who was involved in this song is awesome.' And the passion runs deep: 'I did dance and gymnastics as a child and absolutely loved performing,' she adds. 'I used to choreograph my own floor routines and pick my own music - let's just say, some people were in shock, LOL.' About Rip Youth Rip Youth is a LA-based dance-pop producer known for genre-blending hits and infectious hooks. His previous collaborations include work with Bombs Away and renowned vocalists across the globe. About Brandi Glanville Brandi Glanville is a television personality, New York Times bestselling author, and podcast host best known for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Remedy marks a bold step into her evolving creative career. About Beks Beks is a rising Australian singer-songwriter and performer known for her dynamic stage presence and emotive vocals.

Estonia's Tommy Cash says Italians aren't in a froth over his Eurovision song ‘Espresso Macchiato'
BASEL, Switzerland — One song generating a lot of froth at the Eurovision Song Contest is 'Espresso Macchiato,' a dance-pop ditty by Estonian rapper and visual artist Tommy Cash. Estonia's entry in the pan-continental pop competition, which holds its grand final on Saturday in Basel, Switzerland , is a playful dance-pop track that reels off a string of Italian cliches — including references to spaghetti and 'sweating like a mafioso' — before a singalong chorus: 'Espresso macchiato, macchiato, macchiato.'
