SZA Says Her Next Album Will Be Her Last

The married superstars were in town working on potential new music and promo content for their 'upcoming joint venture," reports E!. The outlet also reports that many locals claim the duo is recording with SZA.

The power couple recently announced new dates on their On the Run II tour, so the promo content could be visuals which will be used on the road. But the possibility of new music from Jay and Bey is always intriguing.

Dua Lipa, Travis Scott, Camila Cabello, The National, and Vampire Weekend are also set for the four-day Chicago fest, scheduled for the weekend of August 2-5.

The upbeat number opens with a blatant nod to Merle Haggard's 'Mama Tried" and quickly shifts into a feel-good tune embellished with musical twists and turns. A decidedly Urban-esque groove rolls through the chorus.

Urban worked on the song with Michaels, co-writer and co-producer J.R. Rotem and frequent collaborator, songwriter Nicolle Gallyon ('We Were Us," 'Female" ).

The country star incorporated the snippet from Haggard's 1968 song "Mama Tried" after receiving the endorsement of his widow and son. "I called Theresa Haggard and Ben Haggard to play them what we'd been working on," Urban said via a press release. "It was important to me to have their blessing, and I'm so grateful that they love the song."

"'Coming Home' started with an idea I had of using the intro of one of my favorite Haggard songs, 'Mama Tried,' to build an entirely new song around it," he continued. "Then, I took the idea to J.R. Rotem and he put some chords around it. I jotted down the first words that the music made me feel, jumped on a mic and sang the chorus."

"Kim and I fell in love with Santa Barbara and the Montecito area on our honeymoon. It feels like small town America by the sea," Paisley wrote on his official site.

In a brief speech, Brooks talked about driving in and seeing billboards in Nashville from the Opry to their newest member, which read, 'Welcome to the family." He agreed that it was a real family, adding, "Another great name for this place is 'church.'"
Choked up, Brooks continued, 'This will be, no matter how many times you look back on it, the greatest night in your music career. It is in mine." Janson asked his wife to join him onstage and started his acceptance speech with tears, saying, 'How do you not cry doing this? I don't know."

Janson told a story about playing at Tootsie's, a legendary Nashville honky-tonk, 13 years ago and watching country stars like Marty Stewart go into the Ryman. Then the 'Fix A Drink" singer told the crowd, 'I got two dreams that came true. One was gettin' on the radio and one was gettin' in the Opry."

"I was showed magazines of girls naked with guitars, and they were telling me that's what I'm competing with, and I was like, 'I'm not competing with that,'" Clarkson told Rolling Stone. "And they always wanted, like, the sexier songs - not even good sexy songs - because that sells."

During the outdoor set, Dua wore a fashion-forward red outfit and performed with a live band and backup singers. The performance marked a quick rebound for Lipa, who canceled shows last week due to emergency dental surgery.

She was set to perform in Brisbane, Australia with Bruno Mars but dropped out of the concerts to have her wisdom teeth removed. Dua's own summer tour kicks off in June.

Months ago when Austin was listed for a heart transplant, Dr. Thrush said he would deliver the news a heart was available dressed as Chewbacca. On Saturday, Chewbacca stopped by Austin's room.

The 2018 edition of the North American trek is set to also feature Lil Uzi Vert, Ty Dolla $ign, and YBN Nahmir. P-Lo and Murda Beatz will join as special guests.

"A lot of video vixens have spoke about this and nobody gives a f�," Cardi said during an interview with Cosmopolitan. The rapper said the reason hip-hop performers and video dancers aren't taken seriously is due to the stigma surrounding the sexualized images they project.

Surrounded by eight backup singers, Iggy (dressed in black with a shock of pink hair) introduced viewers to her new material. Migos rapper Quavo (who appears on the record) didn't appear on The Late Show but Iggy held down the fort solo.

Then, she reached out to Kelly to see what he thought of her dog's skills. The fan wrote via social media: '@machinegunkelly this video though, my dog is ur #1 fan."

I was in the middle off my most stressed time ever. Lots of things was going on in my live - I had lots of gigs singing with different bands beside working and singing with STRAW - In addition, Carsten and I worked with vulnerable youngsters and then we also had our own 5 children and 3 dogs who should have attention and care. Okay 2 of our kids already were adults, but anyway. My time was full. In the middle of it all, I almost forgot how important one's family and friends are.

A few years before we'd bought a dream house in Sweden were we could spend time - if we could find some spare time. We desperately needed time to make recordings and songs for Straw. And in fact we also needed time to be together with our family and friends for real.

We managed to find time to visit our Swedish dream home but most often in the winter. When we reached the house, we could feel the stress disappeared. When we sat there in the cozy armchairs in front of the fireplace, all the stress disappeared and it made room for new songs. I was reminded of what is most important in life, Thus, the text almost wrote itself to "Family and Friends". The song describes so nicely the proximity we experienced when we went to the house in Sweden. Laugh and play, good talks and walks in the woods and cozy moments with your family and friends. There was room for everyone. The song means a lot to me (and the rest of the family :-) ) and reminds me of giving priority to time to the nearest wherever you are.

Most of Straw songs has been born on our holidays as described above. Carsten composes the music on his guitar and it may be a lot of days or weeks where I hear him play all sorts of places and quietly reaches something that is nice for the ears. I live in the mood he produces, and thus the text comes almost by itself. I am always hugely inspired in that process. This also happened with "Family and Friends" We usually keep track of the songs that have become the way it reflects the feelings and moods of our lives.

Similarly, our lives also work. We have a unique collaboration and our daughters Denise and Sally play a good part in this cooperation. At family and friends we sing all 3 girls. Denise and Sally put their voices on the song the same way as when I write the text of Carsten's tones. Each has their very own unique way of singing, which makes it all fit together in a natural way. That way, Straw became the Straw Family.
