She’s back! GRAMMY® Award-winning, global superstar Meghan Trainor has announced her anxiously awaited fourth full-length album,Takin’ It Back, arriving October 21st, 2022 via Epic Records. Pre-order/pre-save HERE.
This time around, she made a conscious decision to hark back to the signature sound she introduced on her 2015 full-length debut, TITLE, and bring it forward to today.
About the album, Meghan said, “I tried to do the doo-wop feel I had at the beginning of my career, but the 2022 version of it. This is from the new Meghan who is a wife and mom with a baby. This is from me right now. I decided to give the people what they want, but with my spices added to it. I wanted to make my Title 2.0.”
To bring the record to life, she worked closely alongside a “core squad” of Gian Stone, Federico Vindver, Sean Douglas, and little brother Justin Trainor out of her own home studio. Musically, she integrates doo wop and classic harmonies into one anthem after another taking you through her journey into marriage, motherhood, and achieving a new level of confidence.
It’s embodied on the bold and bright new single “Bad For Me,” featuring Teddy Swims, out today. The track finds the powerhouse tapping into her doo wop roots once more with a whole lot of fresh fire. Throwback harmonies underline a simmering groove as she opens up lyrically. On the chorus, she urges, “Please don’t make promises that you can’t keep. Your best intentions end up hurting me.” Meanwhile, Teddy appears with a seismic and show-stopping vocal turn of his own. Together, they uplift the lyrics with undeniable energy.
Directed by Thom Kerr (Iggy Azalea, Kim Petras), the accompanying video finds Meghan and Teddy in a symbolic and surreal world full of flowers. As the video fluctuates between different landscapes, it showcases the journey that writing and recording this song has taken Meghan on. It’s one in which she has found light and new beginnings in distancing herself from toxic relationships. Listen/Watch HERE.
Regarding “Bad For Me,”Meghan commented, “My dad actually sent me Teddy’s video for ‘Broke’, and I’ve been so obsessed with him ever since. It’s a dream to record with someone who has that good of a voice, and he’s the sweetest guy ever. The song is a true story for me. It’s about how I stood up for myself and took a step back from a relationship that was hurting me more than anything. It’s hard to do, but I needed to in order to feel better.”
Get ready for more very soon as Meghan takes it back in 2022.

Upon the release of Superache, Conan Gray premiered the official music video for his new song “Disaster” – watch HERE.
Conan Gray is everywhere right now. Rolling Stone sat down with him for an in-depth feature for their upcoming “Hot Ones Issue”, and he currently graces the cover of PAPER Magazine. Last night he graced the stage of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon performing “Disaster” from the new album, and this morning he brought the masses to 30 Rock with a performance on the TODAY Show Summer Concert Series.
Bringing the record to life on stage later to this year, Gray will return to the road for his biggest headline world tour. He will start the Superache Tour in North America before heading to Australia and New Zealand, kicking off on September 16 in Louisville, KY at The Louisville Palace Theater. He will visit major markets coast-to-coast including Chicago’s Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island and the iconic Greek Theater in Los Angeles.

General on sale begins today Friday, June 24th at 10am local time. Check out the full confirmed itinerary below.
About Conan Gray:
Since releasing original demos on his YouTube channel at the age of 15, Conan Gray has emerged as one of the pre-eminent pop superstars of his generation. Even after the commercial success of global multi-platinum hits “Heather” (which earned its own Urban Dictionary entry) and “Maniac”, his music continues to maintain its unflinching authenticity and originality. Gray’s debut album, Kid Krow, crafted by Gray and longtime collaborator and producer Dan Nigro, reached #5 on the Billboard Top 200, #1 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart and became the biggest new artist debut of the year. In the summer of 2020, when “Heather” topped charts around the world, Sir Elton John publicly praised Gray for being the only artist on the Spotify top 50 to have written the song entirely on their own. With over 7 billion streams, he has attracted unanimous applause from a who’s who of tastemakers including Vogue, GQ, V Man, Paper, Fader, Billboard, NPR, MTV, I-D, Wonderland, Clash, Notion, and has delivered rapturous performances on television shows such as Late Night with Seth Meyers, The Late Late Show with James Corden, and The Today Show. At the same time, Gray earned the recognition of fashion arbiters, claiming a spot on “Best Dressed” lists from the likes of Teen Vogue and making a splash during his MET Gala debut. In 2022, he headlined a SOLD-OUT world tour, lighting up New York’s legendary Radio City Music Hall, and leaving the main stage of Coachella begging for more. However, he reaches another creative stratosphere on his sophomore album, Superache, reteaming with Nigro. Now, he delivers the definitive Gen-Z alternative manifesto.

Jung Kook of BTS),” out now via Atlantic Records. Known for giving a glimpse of his creative process to his more than 16 million followers on TikTok, Puth has been teasing the track for months while fans speculated on the surprise collaboration. Click HERE to listen to the song in full.
Produced by Puth himself, “Left and Right” instantly captivates with its vibrant, funk-fueled sensibilities that effortlessly fuse the two hitmakers’ signature sounds. The highly infectious track notably ignites the duo’s creative collaboration after performing “We Don’t Talk Anymore” together at the 2018 MBC Plus X Genie Music Awards.
The song arrives alongside an official video, which was directed by Drew Kirsch. The playful visual humorously sees Puth and Jung Kook through a therapeutic fantasy to escape their own minds. Watch the video HERE.
“Left and Right” serves as the third single from Puth’s forthcoming deeply personal third studio album, CHARLIE, due later this year. After months of fan anticipation, he released his critically acclaimed first single from the album, “Light Switch,” in January 2022 which hit No. 1 on the Apple iTunes Pop Chart and has garnered more than 401 million streams globally and over 83 million views on YouTube. He recently appeared and performed the track on JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE and ELLEN, as well as the iHeart Awards, where he did a special dueling piano performance with EGOT John Legend. Puth also performed the track in addition to his other fan-favorite hits at this year’s iHeart Radio KIIS-FM Wango Tango, receiving the biggest response from the crowd of the evening. Following it up with an emotional and moving song “That’s Hilarious,” he has amassed over 99 million streams on Spotify.

MOA in MOA is really happening as TXT debuts on the Philippine concert stage in October!
South Korean boy group TOMORROW X TOGETHER, commonly known as, TXT, is bringing their ACT : LOVE SICK World Tour to the Philippines on October 27 and 28 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.
Big Hit Music announced upcoming Asia stops of the boy group’s world tour in a Weverse post last June 21. PULP Live World, the promoter of the Manila shows, confirmed the upcoming dates that will see Yeonjun, Soobin, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and HueningKai take over SM Mall of Asia Arena in a two-day concert.
Filipino MOAs surely did not contain their excitement as only a few minutes following the announcement, “TXT IN MANILA” already rose to the top of the Philippine Twitter trends. And they have every right to be excited because ACT : LOVE SICK in Manila will serve as the first-ever live concert of TXT in the Philippines since debuting in 2019.
Setting and Breaking Records: The TXT Way
TXT became the first boy group Big Hit Music (formerly Big Hit Entertainment) debuted six years following BTS. Debuting with high expectations, Yeonjun, Soobin, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and HueningKai defied expectations and made a name for themselves with their music and artistry.
The boy group debuted with the release of their first extended play, The Dream Chapter: Star. The EP topped South Korea’s Gaon Album Chart and Billboard World Albums Chart. Its lead single, “Crown”, took the top spot on Billboard World Digital Songs Chart. In addition, the music video for “Crown” broke the record for the most viewed K-Pop debut music video within 24 hours for a boy group.
TXT also debuted on top of Billboard Emerging Artists and at number 140 on the Billboard 200 chart. One week after their debut, the boys also secured their first music show win on SBS TV’s The Show.
Since then, TXT became unstoppable in their climb towards the top as they become one of the most successful K-Pop groups of their generation. Their most recent release, Minisode 2: Thursday’s Child was another statement of their ever-growing success. In less than two days, the extended play surpassed one million copies sold. The feat made TXT the second-fastest artist on Hanteo to do so after BTS. Moreover, Minisode 2: Thursday’s Child gave the boy group their highest ranking on Billboard 200, debuting at number four on the Top 200 Albums chart. With their recent EP, TXT also became the first foreign artist in Oricon history to top its weekly album chart with six consecutive albums.
ACT : LOVE SICK in Manila: Ready, MOA?
As the boy group continues to defy expectations and break record after record, fans can look forward to a two-day concert that will showcase solid performances and explosive stages from Yeonjun, Soobin, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and HueningKai.
It was, without a doubt, a beautiful first meeting between Hwang In Youp and his Filipino fans at the BYS Fun Meet in Manila!
South Korean model-actor Hwang In Youp is no stranger to the Philippines, having spent four years studying in Davao in his teenage years. Fast forward to 2022, the True Beauty star returns to the country he once called his home — not to study — but to meet his Filipino fans who welcomed him with warmness and sunshine, making up for the gloomy skies of June 19.
Before the BYS Fun Meet inManila, presented by BYS Cosmetics Philippines in partnership with Wilbros Live, at the New Frontier Theater, the actor charmed the press members with his graciousness and sweet personality during a press conference held at the EDSA Shangri-la.
Hwang In Youp expressed his joy in coming back to the Philippines and shared his surprise to be greeted by fans during his arrival in the country the night before. He also looked back on his years in Davao — a place, he said, has a special place in his heart. The actor added that he remains in touch with his friends despite not seeing each other for about a decade. He admitted wanting to visit the city. “The schedule for this trip is quite tight, so I will probably not be able to go to Davao. Maybe I will make a side trip,” he joked.
The actor, who currently leads the SBS drama Why Her, also revealed his favorite local foods. He listed down Jollibee’s fried chicken, Chowking’s halo-halo, and kwek-kwek as his favorite. Adding to the list of his favorite foods are mango float and pineapple. Aside from food, he shared the local places he wished to visit which include Boracay and Cebu.
On Skincare and Self-Care: Hwang In Youp uncovers his secret to true beauty and what being yourself means to him.
BYS Cosmetics Philippines took huge strides in its research and development as it ventures into skincare with the launch of Skin by BYS. The skincare brand features a complete range of products that cater to a wide range of skin types.
And BYS Cosmetics Philippines chose the best endorser to represent — an actor who also made huge strides in his career — Hwang In Youp who was named ambassador of BYS Cosmetics Philippines in September 2021 with the launch of Skin by BYS.
During the press conference, the Why Her actor revealed his secret to his clear and smooth skin. According to him, aside from BYS products, he always applies sunscreen — a habit he developed when he was a kid, thanks to his parents. He also loved taking cold showers and using lip balm to moisturize his lips. In addition, the actor also emphasized having a positive attitude. He shared that he unwinds by going on late-night drives and listening to music.
Asked what it means to be yourself, Hwang In Youp emphasized the importance of loving oneself. “As you live life, you get to a point where you become critical of yourself or maybe even hate yourself. I think it is really important to switch that paradigm to loving yourself because it is only in loving yourself that you are able to go to the next step which is loving others,” he said.
A Fun Meeting: What Went Down at the BYS Fun Meet in Manila
Fans of Hwang In Youp will definitely remember June 19 with the fondest memories. Even before the actor came out from backstage, New Frontier Theater was filled with excited cheers. And those cheers grew louder when the man of the hour emerged on stage with the brightest smile.
He greeted the crowd with a “Hello. Ako si Hwang In Youp.”
Through the BYS Fun Meet in Manila, fans got to know the actor better and listen to some behind-the-scene stories of his drama shoots. He recounted his stay in the Philippines, expressing his love for Davao, Filipino food, and more. The Philippines definitely felt the love as the actor said that if he got the chance to be 18 again, he will do the same thing — live in the Philippines, study in Davao, and eat kwek-kwek.
He also revealed more details about being ambidextrous, his fashion statement, and how he entered the entertainment industry. Hwang In Youp made his acting debut in 2018 through the web drama Why. He went on to star in various productions including The Tale of Nokdu, 18 Again, True Beauty, and currently, Why Her.
And fans of the actor did not hold back in expressing their love for his True Beauty character, Han Seojun. Asked about his definition of “true beauty”, the actor said true beauty is about loving yourself in order to love other people. Meanwhile, talking about his dream role, Hwang In Youp said that, more than a particular role, his dream role is the role that fans would love.
From Goo Ja Sung, to Han Seo Jun, and now, Gong Chan: The Many Roles of Hwang In Youp
The attendees of the fun meet got to take a trip-down-memory-lane on Hwang In Youp’s various dramas with the actor himself. Scenes from his dramas True Beauty, 18 Again, and Why Her were played *cue shy Hwang In Youp* — who also shared behind-the-scene stories, including a sweet shout-out for Moon Ga Young. The actor thanked his True Beauty leading lady for helping him out in his scenes.
Although we did not get to meet singer Hwang In Youp as his throat is unwell, the actor still granted fans’ request for a snippet of his official soundtrack, “It Starts Today”. He even teased fans by only singing a line from the song at first. What a cutiiiie!
According to Hwang In Youp, his role as Goo Ja Sung in 18 Again is the most rebellious character he played.
He also said as he is shy, he will probably not propose in public like Goo Ja Sung. But if he really likes the girl, he will probably do so. #BYSFunMeetInManilapic.twitter.com/de8hQeHNKz
Ending the night with a promise to see each other again
The BYS Fun Meet in Manila featuring Hwang In Youp gifted fans with the sweetest memories to treasure until his next visit. He said goodbye with appreciative and comforting words, easing the heartbreak of bidding a temporary farewell. “Thank you all so much for coming out tonight. I hope you love the brand BYS, which I endorse, as much as I do. I will be going home tonight, but I hope I can come back and spend more time with you. Thank you so much for coming tonight. Be healthy. I love you!”
Hwang In Youp’s BYS Fun Meet in Manila was presented by BYS Cosmetics Philippines in partnership with Wilbros Live. The Philippine Concerts extends gratitude to BYS Cosmetics Philippines and Wilbros Live for the invite to the press conference and event.

Sam Fischer has shared his compelling and emotive new single All My Loving, which is out now through RCA Records and follows his recent single Hopeless Romantic, hit song This City and duet with Demi Lovato What Other People Say.
All My Loving, co-written and produced with Steve Mac during the pandemic, is a soulful and heartfelt song about having an honest conversation with yourself to do better. It builds to a euphoric and passionate chorus of declarations that showcase Sam’s powerful vocals. Sam says;
“All My Loving was written with living legend and pop god, Steve Mac, in the middle of the pandemic over zoom, so anything but a big banging pop song about love was not going to be possible. The song itself came from the phrase “have an honest conversation with yourself Sam” being yelled at me. If you were in any relationship throughout the last few years you’re lying if it wasn’t uniquely challenging at times. My issue is it wasn’t a fair fight because I was absolutely the problem and also the one starting it. So, this song is both a banger and a big statement.”
Sam’s debut single This Citycurrently stands at over 500 million worldwide streams and 4 million worldwide sales and stayed in the UK Top 20 for 11 weeks. The track is also double platinum in Australia, platinum in the UK and Gold in the US, New Zealand and Switzerland. Sam also performed the track on US TV, including Ellen, Jimmy Kimmel and The Late Late Show with James Corden. His duet with Demi LovatoWhat Other People Say has sold over 1 million copies and saw him perform the track on Ellen alongside Demi Lovato. Earlier this year he completed his first live tours in the UK and US, including a packed-out London Garage performance, and recently supported Ashe on tour in the UK and Europe.
Australian born Sam Fischer first introduced himself with his Not A Hobby EP and has achieved well deserved attention since for his heartfelt songs. Touring North America with his friend Lewis Capaldi, he wowed crowds with his buoyant personality and pure love and talent for song-writing. Now based between LA and London, he not only has received acclaim for his own work, but he continues to solidify his spot as one of the hottest current writers, having worked with global pop superstars including Ciara, Cat Burns, Lennon Stella, Louis Tomlinson, Elle King, Jessie J, Virginia To Vegas and many more.
However, it hasn’t all been plain sailing for Sam, who endured his own heartache to achieve his dreams. With the promise of a recording contract in the bag, he set off to LA only for the deal to be pulled away. After months of couch-surfing, he finally and deservedly received his break with This City and project Homework, which has been just the start of an exciting new chapter in Sam’s career with lots more still to come.
Today, critically lauded artist Joji has released his first new music since his sophomore album, Nectar, came out in 2020. Entitled “Glimpse Of Us,” the stripped-down piano ballad – released by acclaimed music collective 88rising – is a tender and lovelorn remembrance of a past relationship. Anchored by one of the most commanding choruses Joji has ever written and sung, “Glimpse Of Us” is at once new but familiar, showcasing Joji’s incredible vocal range and melancholic delivery. Listen HERE. Watch the video HERE.
A music video for the track also premiered today. Directed by Dan Streit (Brockhampton, Charli XCX, Diplo), the docu-style edit offers a sharp contrast to the elegiac ballad. All captured by one enigmatic figure behind the camera, the video depicts a day in the life through various acts of delinquency and sowing chaos.
The release of “Glimpse Of Us” follows Joji‘s debut at the 2022 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival – one of the weekends’ most highly-anticipated and talked-about performances. As such, Joji is announcing his full North American SMITHEREENS TOUR for this Fall. All tour dates are below. Tickets for these shows go on-sale next Thursday, June 16, at 10 AM local time in each market. Joji will also be making appearances at a number of festivals this year, including Governors Ball Music Festival this weekend, Day N Vegas, and a special DJ set (as Yebi Labs) at this year’s Head In The Clouds Festival by 88rising, taking place August 20-21 in Pasadena, CA.
The Japan-born singer and producer Joji is one of the world’s most enthralling artists with over 7 billion streams to date. Joji’s sophomore album, Nectar, debuted at #1 on Spotify’s inaugural US Weekly Top 50 Albums chart, #1 on Billboard’s Independent albums chart, and #3 on the Billboard 200. Nectar debuted at #1 in Australia and in the top 10 in New Zealand, Canada, UK, and Norway. Joji also earned his highest-ever debut on the Billboard Hot 100 with the RIAA-certified Gold song “Run,” and his national television debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Multi-platinum-selling singer/songwriter Calum Scott has released his newest sublime single“Heaven,” with Darren from the Philippines— listen HERE. Along with sharing the triumphant and timeless ballad, Calum has announced that his highly awaited sophomore album Bridges is now out on all music streaming platforms. Soon after the album’s release, the U.K.-based artist will embark on a headlining summer tour of North America.
The fourth single released from Bridges, “Heaven” once again reveals Calum’s gift for finding unexpected ways to express universal emotions. “As songwriters, we’re always searching for new ways of saying ‘I miss you’ or ‘I love you’ or ‘I want you back,’” says Calum, who co-wrote “Heaven” with Hayley Warner (an Australian singer/songwriter who’s also penned songs for artists like Katy Perry and Tori Kelly). “‘The concept of ‘Heaven’ is the love between two people being so powerful that it is far superior to anything else, any other form of paradise that could be offered. I loved the idea of putting the power into the relationship.”
Produced by Fraser T. Smith, “Heaven” unfolds in a dynamic arrangement of soulful piano work, luminous strings, and elegantly swinging drumbeats — a glorious backdrop to Calum’s masterful vocal performance. “It felt important to really push my vocal range on a song like this, so by the first chorus I’m already up in the rafters,” he says. “But if you’re talking about something so passionate, it should be delivered in a very passionate way.” Threaded with lyrics that offer a certain poetic wisdom (e.g., “What good is life if we’re all just waiting to dance in the sky?”), the result is a breathtaking tribute to living in the moment by fully surrendering to love.
The follow-up to Calum’s 2018 full-length debut Only Human — a widely acclaimed effort that hit No. 1 on the iTunes album chart in 21 countries across the globe, in addition to selling more than 3.6 million in adjusted album sales and garnering over 7.5 billion combined streams — Bridges will also feature the previously released singles “If You Ever Change Your Mind”(a bittersweet but empowered piece produced by Greg Kurstin, an eight-time GRAMMY Award® winner known for his work with Paul McCartney, Elton John, and Adele), “Rise” (a wildly soaring track whose video features a captivating performance from British actor Georgia Hirst), and “Biblical” (a heart-on-sleeve ballad Calum later followed with an American Sign Language version made in collaboration with the Tony Award®-winning Deaf West Theatre). Fans can now listen to the album, HERE.

Get ready to meet your favorite trio, The Hammingtons, as they fly to Juanderland for their first fan meeting
This July is a good time for a family bonding activity as South Korea’s cutest trio is coming to Manila!
For the first time, Sam, William, and Bentley are coming to meet Filipino fans at The Hammingtons in Juanderland: Fanmeeting in Manila. The event is scheduled to take place on July 17, 2022, Sunday, at 3 PM at the New Frontier Theater.
The South Korean stars rose to fame in 2016 when they joined the roster for “The Return of Superman,” a reality show featuring celebrity dads and their children. Initially, it was only Sam and William (now five years old) who appeared on the show. Bentley (now four years old) joined a year later after he was born.
The three quickly became fan favorites and eventually brought home the prestigious “Grand Prize” (locally known as “Daesang”) at the 2018 KBS Entertainment Awards along with the other cast.
Earlier this year, the family decided to step down from the show to pursue other opportunities. One of which is “Wilbengers: Suspicious Camping Commotion,” an animated superhero film starring William and Bentley, together with their dad. The family also recently launched their new variety show titled “The Hammingtons’ Dream Closet” which airs on the ENA channel.
Outside of mainstream media, the boys are busy with their very own Youtube channel, “THE WILLBEN SHOW,” which has now amassed more than 350,000 subscribers.
Despite their packed schedule, The Hammingtons are excited to come to Manila.
“This is an amazing opportunity and we are so looking forward to meeting our fans. The last few years have been really difficult due to restrictions but finally being able to have the chance to meet some of our international fans is so exciting,” shared Sam Hammington, the family patriarch.
Sam is a New Zealander-Australian comedian who gained stardom in the South Korean reality television show “Real Men.” In 2013, he won the “Best Male Newcomer” award for his amazing performance on the show.
With only a few weeks until the fanmeet, Sam shared how the Hammingtons have begun preparation.
“We are not trying to overly prepare as we want to have an authentic experience while we are there. However, we have been trying to learn some Tagalog but it is not as easy as we thought it would be.”
Sam also shared that they’re eager to try some of the delicious food recommended by the fans; most notably, “chocolate rice” or champorado in Tagalog.
When asked how the kids reacted to the news, the 44-year-old star candidly answered, “To be honest, I have told them but I don’t think they quite comprehend where we are going. They are excited to go on an airplane to another country. But when we get there I am sure they will be excited.”
As a parting message to fans, Sam had this to say: “First and foremost, thank you for supporting us in everything we do. We appreciate you all, and without you, we wouldn’t be able to do what we do. This is our opportunity to thank you in person and hope to meet as many of our fans as possible.”
The Hammingtons’ fanmeeting in Manila is just one of the many Asian stops lined up for the family. With WILD Group now managing their international activities, fans can look forward to seeing more of the trio in-person and on various media platforms across Southeast Asia.
Tickets will be available this Saturday via TicketNet online. Prices for the fanmeet range from PHP2, 850 (Balcony) to PHP6, 500 (MVP). The Hammingtons in Juanderland: Fanmeeting in Manila is presented by CDM Entertainment.
The hit 2019 mystery film, ‘Knives Out,’ has a sequel and it is coming to Netflix this Christmas season. Written and directed by Rian Johnson, the new film is called “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.”

There aren’t many more details known so far, but we do know that the new movie will again star Daniel Craig as detective Benoit Blanc who travels to Greece to peel back the layers of a mystery involving a new cast of suspects. Just like the first film, it has an all-star cast that includes Dave Bautista, Madelyn Cline, Janelle Monee, Kathryn Hahn, Jessica Henwick, Kate Hudson, Edward Norton, and Leslie Odom Jr, according to a brief trailer released by Netflix.
2019’s Knives Out is available to stream on Netflix and I recommend you see it first. It will be a fun and mind-blowing experience to watch.
