Amy Winehouse’s “Back to Black” Returns for Its 20th Anniversary With Unreleased Demos and Rare Live Recordings

Amy Winehouse’s “Back to Black” is returning 20 years after its original release in a new anniversary edition that goes beyond simple nostalgia.

Dua Lipa Says Love Is Changing the Way She Writes Her Next Album

Dua Lipa is approaching new music from a different emotional place after “Radical Optimism.” Where heartbreak and the search for love once gave her obvious material, she is now more interested in what happens after love is found: the quiet moments, contradictions and small details that shape a real relationship. It is not yet an album announcement, but it may be the clearest clue to how her songwriting is changing. Dua Lipa is entering a creative period in which her personal life and her next musical chapter appear to be meeting in a new way. In a recent interview with Vogue Italia, the 31-year-old singer did not reveal a title, release date or full concept for her fourth......

Taylor Swift Says She Feels More Connected Than Ever to Her Country Roots

Taylor Swift says the longer her career continues, the more connected she feels to the country roots that first shaped the way she writes songs.

Taylor Swift returned to the Grammy Museum for a conversation about songwriting and used the opportunity to look back at the earliest part of her career with a different sense of perspective. Speaking with Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason jr., she explained that as she gets older, she feels......

JENNIE is not presenting “Fallen Angel” as a simple collection of three songs. The announcement from Odd Atelier describes the EP as a project created from a deeply personal place and as an expression of her most honest self, immediately......

Adele Says Céline Dion Inspired Her Love of Big Ballads and Drama

Adele has never hidden her love for a huge emotional payoff, but now she has named one of the artists who helped shape that instinct. In a Harper’s Bazaar tribute to Céline Dion, she credited the Canadian icon with inspiring her love of ballads and admitted, with typical humor, that she has always been drawn to being a “drama queen.” The comment explains a great deal about the emotional structure of Adele’s own music. Adele’s relationship with the great pop ballad has always felt central to her identity. She is one of the few contemporary artists who can begin with a piano, a simple melody and an intimate line, then let the song grow until it feels......
