How’s the “Wonder” hangover going? Because Shawn Mendes is back! Not to mention… Miss Swift. And so are Johnny Orlando, Valley, renforshort, Gwen Stefani and more artists! Are you ready to kick off the weekend with some new music?
Taylor Swift – evermore
Taylor Swift has surprised fans for the second time this year with her 9th studio album, “evermore“. On the 10th of December, Taylor shared more dreamy, cottagecore images with the following caption:
Ever since I was 13, I’ve been excited about turning 31 because it’s my lucky number backwards, which is why I wanted to surprise you with this now. You’ve all been so caring, supportive and thoughtful on my birthdays and so this time I thought I would give you something! I also know this holiday season will be a lonely one for most of us and if there are any of you out there who turn to music to cope with missing loved ones the way I do, this is for you. There are 15 tracks on the standard edition of evermore, but the deluxe physical edition will include two bonus tracks – “right where you left me” and “it’s time to go”⌛️

Johnny Orlando – Everybody Wants You (Shift K3Y Remix)
“Everybody Wants You”, the frontline track that started Johnny’s latest EP “It’s Never Really Over” just got remixed by Shift K3Y. If this song wasn’t energetic and upbeat enough by now, this remix just gave it one or two extra points on that department. Once again, another perfect holiday gift from Johnny Orlando to his fans!

Valley – sucks to see you doing better (extended)
Two months after the release of the original “sucks to see you doing better” EP, Valley re-released the project but with the addition of their newest single “All the Animals I Drew as a Kid”. This song is yet another statement to the incredible songwriting skills from the young band and features a lyric video with heartwarming childhood footage that gives a perfect image: where they come from, where they are, and then we imagine…how far will they go?
