Hilary Duff is back in the spotlight starring in a new show, “Younger” with Sutton Foster, and with a brand new single called “Sparks!” The track, co-written by Tove Lo, is an upbeat, danceable track that will have you singing and whistling along. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: welcome back, Hilary! We can’t wait to hear more from her upcoming album! She was just added as a performer at Boston’s Kiss Concert, so fingers crossed for more Summer concerts!
Listen to the new song below!
Pick up a copy of “Sparks” on iTunes or Amazon now! Watch “Younger” on TV Land Tuesday nights at 10pm.
Following the success of her newest single, “I Really Like You,” Carly Rae Jepsen made her debut on SNL this weekend as the musical guest. During the show, she premiered a brand new song from her upcoming album! The new track, “All That,” is an airy 80’s ballad that contrasts the upbeat singles she’s released previously. It definitely shows off her softer side, as well as her vocal abilities.
Watch Carly Rae Jepsen perform “All That” on SNL below.
We’re so thrilled that Hilary Duff is back to both acting and music! Her new show, “Younger,” premiered on TV Land last week, and it’s just as great as we’d hoped. (We’re also happy to see Sutton Foster back on TV! RIP “Bunheads.”) Hilary also has a new single, “Sparks,” coming out next week! Here’s a playlist of some of our favorite Hilary Duff tracks in the meantime.
1. So Yesterday Raise your hand if you looked everywhere for that “Everything is Bigger in Texas” shirt from the video.
2. Why Not This song is actually really great to pump you up to do all sorts of things. I mean, Why not take a crazy chance? Why not do a crazy dance?
3. Stranger From Hilary’s last studio album, “Dignity.” This album didn’t get enough credit for how good it is!
4. All About You We’re all about Hilary’s most recent single.
5. The Getaway
More like, here I go again singing this to myself at a red light!
Bonus: Chasing The Sun
Because this video is so accurate.
Hot off the release of her single, “My Mistake,” rising country star Cam just released her first EP! “Welcome to Cam Country” is a preview of Cam’s upcoming album on Sony Nashville. All tracks were co-written by Cam, and produced by Jeff Bhasker and Tyler Johnson. (They’ve worked with artists like Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift, and Ed Sheeran…just to name a few) We instantly fell for Cam’s sound and energetic personality when we saw her open for Dan + Shay on tour last year. Her music has a bit of a 90s country vibe, with clever, relatable lyrics. Check out the tracklisting below and pickup a copy of the EP on iTunes now!
“Welcome To Cam Country” Tracklisting
1. My Mistake
2. Burning House
3. Half Broke Heart
4. Runaway Train
Cam will be making her Opry debut on May 29th and playing at the Stagecoach Festival in April!
North of Nine recently made their New York debut with an intimate showcase at Piano’s. The band played tracks off of their new EP, “Alive,” along with a solid cover of “Mr. Brightside” by The Killers. Highlights of the set included the band’s current single, “Can It Be You?” and a jazzy, piano driven track, “Alive,” that will hopefully make it to the album. We love North of Nine’s sound – pop rock that’s a little bit funky, infused with soulful keyboards. “Alive” is a perfect way to describe their energetic performance.
Lead singer Jackson Guthy was a solo artist before forming the band with friends from LA: Michael O’Grady (guitar), Edison Lo (bass), Nolan Frank (keyboards), and Rob Ketchum (drums). Each member of the band brings their own unique style. If you’re a fan of Jackson’s solo material (“Pretty Lady” was our JAM a couple of summers ago), you’ll love the rock-infused North of Nine.
Pickup a copy of the “Alive” EP on iTunes now and watch the video for “Can It Be You?” below. The single recently went to radio, and we’d love to see them charting north of #9 on the charts! The band, who is managed by Randy Jackson, made their debut at SXSW this year. They are definitely an artist to watch in 2015, and we can’t wait to hear more from this talented band.
We’ve been eagerly awaiting Jake Miller’s video for his new single “Dazed and Confused” – especially since he revealed that Austin Mahone would be in it! Two baes in one video?

This week mark’s the 15th anniversary of one of the greatest albums of all time – *NSYNC’s “No Strings Attached.” We have fond memories of pre-ordering the CD at Sam Goody, running to the mall after school the day it came out to pick it up. And of course, you weren’t cool unless you brought the album with you the next day and fangirled over the pictures of your favorite (JC and Lance) in the CD booklet! In honor of this momentous occasion, here are our favorite songs from “No Strings Attached.” We recommend celebrating by watching *NSYNC: Live from Madison Square Garden and dancing along.
1. “Bye Bye Bye”
Everything about this song is amazing. The dance moves, the video, that note JC hits?
2. “It’s Gonna Be Me”
The origin of *NSYNC’s signature slow lean and pop.
3. “I Thought She Knew”
*NSYNC were known for their moves and style, but this track proved they could SING. We get chills every time we listen to it. If we ever get to hear this live (Which we will because a reunion tour will happen.) we will be in tears.
4. “It Makes Me Ill”
Don’t you feel awesome when you can sing along to that quick verse at the beginning?
5. “Digital Get Down”
Basically, *NSYNC sang about Face Time before it was even a thing.
Bonus: “Space Cowboy” feat. Lisa Left Eye Lopes
Yes, they rode mechanical bulls during this song on tour.
