The rumors began when, apparently, Spotify posted the album (perhaps by accident) called Untitled Unmastered. The album didn't have a release date and wasn't available for streaming.
about 10:45 pm ET, Top Dawg Entertainment CEO Anthony Tiffith tweeted "Yea King Kendrick returns 2nite," with a link to Instagram address that was dead; the tweet was soon deleted. Stream the album here.
Tickets for this intimate show will be available to Madonna's Icon fan club winners, and fans should stay tuned to Madonna.com for details on how to enter. DJ Mary Mac will be on hand to start off the party.
Madonna said, "I wanted to do something special for Australia because you have been so patient and waited so long - the "Tears of a Clown" show will make its debut on March 10th. Performance art, comedy, story telling and music of course! Especially for you my Rebel Heart fans down under!!"
From start to finish, the song has a slick feel. It begins with a soft beat and the sounds of a lighter being flicked three times, before a synth reminiscent of a classic 1980s horror movie quickly takes over. Both 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne are heavily auto-tuned throughout the track, even on their verses.
The pair previously premiered "Rolls Royce Weather Everyday" from the project on The Tonight Show back in mid-February. ColleGrove was released today, March 4th. Listen to "Gotta Love" here.
The D-Block general opens the song rapping about a woman who heads down to the Dominican Republic in order to get butt implants and lies about it when she comes back.
Nino Man brings the laughs when he asks to be forgiven for spending his girlfriend's whole tax refund. Once the pair of rappers spit their bars, Bieber comes in and the song rides out as we know it.
Justin Bieber met Jadakiss at L.A. hotspot 1OAK about three months ago and the pair hit it off. Jada posted a photo of them on Instagram with the caption, "WIT MY GUY @justinbieber. He's official." Check the song and photo here.
Over at The Late Late Show, James Corden saw shades of Adele in the late-night conversation, which began with the familiar words: "Hello?" and "It's me."
Like any good late night host, Corden put his staff to work laying audio from Adele's "Hello" over footage from the mega-hit installment of American Crime Story.
As Clark, Paulson continues, "We talked this afternoon. Are you comfortable with that? Are you happy?" seeming to lift words and ideas directly from the Adele track. Finally, the mash-up brings in the swelling chorus as Cuba Gooding Jr. (as OJ Simpson) is pictured in a jumpsuit--hello from the other side, indeed.
When in doubt, Corden should rely on Adele for comic inspiration--her installment of his "Carpool Karaoke" series broke late night streaming records and captivated fans as only Adele can. Check it out here.
Performing the song at Skull's Rainbow Room in Nashville's Printer's Alley (via The Boot), Eldredge lends the standard a slight hint of country. But he displays a sure-throated voice and range, proving he's up to the task of covering Ol' Blue Eyes. A full backing band gives the song its standard sound, which nicely contrasts Eldredge's subtle country twangs.
This isn't the first time the country musician has covered Sinatra. He has a habit of turning to the legend when it comes to cover songs, and that may very well be because of what he listened to while growing up.
Speaking with People in 2014, his mom Robin Eldredge said about her son performing Sinatra covers at a Nashville benefit, "I'm absolutely thrilled to see him do this because he used to do this [style of music] when he was younger, but I haven't heard him do it in a long time." Check out the new video here.
The 11-year-old Burgos got a chance to meet his inspiration in Denver, CO. Fetty Wap invited Jayden backstage during a stop on his Monster Outbreak Energy Tour. While the meeting was a dream come true for young Jayden, it also tugged on Fetty Wap's heartstrings.
Fetty Wap spoke to PEOPLE Magazine about the meeting, "I'm happy I got to meet Jayden and his family. He is a really cool kid! It meant a lot to me personally to finally make his wish happen. It's definitely a day we'll both remember!" Read more here.
Scott Hutchison had the following to say about the new track, "Get Out is about an addiction to another person. You know, 'love is the drug' and all that good/bad stuff.
"You become unaware that you've pushed aside all other relationships to immerse yourself in another human. It's wonderful, yet terribly unhealthy." Watch the video, which was directed by Greg Davenport (Seafret, Lonely the Brave, Steve Mason), here.

Tune in this March and April to see artists like Bill Anderson, Jeannie Seely, Jim Ed Brown, Little Jimmy Dickens, Kitty Wells and many more share their favorite stories and perform as part of shows that were taped almost twenty years ago.
The idea behind the hit "Country's Family Reunion" series when it all started in 1997 was simple - ask the great people who shaped country music to get together and talk about their history, and maybe sing a few songs. Nearly 20 years later, Gabriel Communications celebrates more than a dozen projects, featuring hundreds of songs and never-before-heard stories from some of country music's original artists, which would have otherwise been lost forever.
The "'Country's Family Reunion' Collection Series" DVD box set (available here) features four different show compilations including "Country's Family Reunion Original," "Country's Family Reunion Celebration," "Country's Family Reunion Gospel," and "Stories From The Golden Age Of Country."

Singer/songwriter Brandy Clark has written about this archetype in her new song, "Girl Next Door," based on the experience of one of her co-writers. "I wrote that with Jessie Jo Dillon and Shane McAnally, and that idea came from Jessie Jo. Jessie Jo is the epitome of cool; she's a little bit of a wild child, and she was dating this guy who loved that about her when he first met her, and then as time wore on, he wanted her to be a little bit more demure."
"And I said, 'Well, what do you think of that?' She's like, 'I wanna say, "Brother, you want the girl next door, go next door!"' And I said, 'Jessie, that's a song!'" Read more here.
"You know, it's funny my lifestyle change kind of happened I mean, very organically, I was really just stressed out, I needed an escape and I started going to the gym and as a byproduct, I started losing weight and it wasn't intentional cause I've always been told 'oh, you're fat,' and whatever and I was like, 'oh no, I'm big-boned,' or whatever we say to make ourselves feel better, and I just started losing weight and I loved...I really enjoyed what I started seeing so I was like, 'oh, okay let me take this a little seriously,' and I started getting a trainer and going to the gym."
Khloe, a big advocate of changing from within, and a big fan of working out with someone, especially big sis Kourtney, "I'm big into like my group buddy workouts�Kourtney's never really worked out a lot, she's always just been really f****** blessed with this great body and I want to kill her...After her kid, she still was able to like bounce back and then with Rein she still had a great body�she was going through her tough time so I was like, let's work together, I don't know why I just did that because I'm so intense about my workouts and she keeps up with me, she's so good at it and I'm proud of her."
When she is not working out, Khloe is busy filming "Keeping Up With The Kardashias," which is heading into its twelfth season, she smiled, "We were not even supposed to have season two, they told us we were filler on the air, that person doesn't work for E! anymore." Her FYI show "Kocktials with Khloe" also taking off, "It's going fantastic. I'm so excited. I'm also blown away. I've never hosted my own talk show before and I didn't realize how much fun I would have."
The 31-year-old also giving "Extra" an update on how Lamar Odom is doing, " He's doing well, thank you, every day is a blessing and his recovery is nothing short than a miracle." Watch video here.
Dr. Luke produced many hits for Perry including "I Kissed A Girl," "Teenage Dream," "Last Fiday Night" and "Dark Horse." She has yet to comment publicly on the situation. "I've been thinking why doesn't Katy Perry stand up� she is his friend?" she told the publication.
Gottwald was also critical of Taylor Swift's donation to Kesha. "Taylor Swift gave all this money, but it is such a shame that real women that have suffered and gone through that, don't get to see that money. She should have given it to a rape charity." Read more here.
"The divorce was not my idea," she said. "I didn't want it in any shape, form or fashion � It was really hard to make the adjustment when someone's not happy.
"I just want everybody to be happy in their lives because our lives are too short to be miserable. I just thought it was the best thing to take my marbles and go play somewhere else, is what Daddy used to always say." Read more here.
The first track, she said, will debut on March 11 as a digital single with a performance of two new songs on Saturday Night Live the next night. Fielding a question about how the title change happened, Grande said it was her most potent option:
"'Moonlight' is a lovely song and it's a lovely title. It's really romantic, and it definitely ties together the old music and the new music," Grande said. "But 'Dangerous Woman' is a lot stronger."
"I want to be empowering my fans," she added. "I feel like my personal growth is reflected in the sound. I'm really proud of it." Read more here.
Speaking with Tracy Smith, Trainor admits how she used hide her figure underneath baggy clothing. 'I - every day - wore sweatshirts and sweatpants to cover up my body because I was so insecure," she says. 'And it would be summer. And I would go on vacation and I'd be in Trinidad and Tobago, 90-degree weather, and I'd be wearing sweatshirts that said 'Nantucket.'"
She adds, 'I didn't want to show my arms. I didn't want to show anything, and I was just so insecure and uncomfortable, and I thought, like, 'All right, if I'm fully covered, I'm good. And that's not what I should have been feeling." Read more here.
This song was not meant to be this song. It was a whole direct thing, but after a computer crash we lost some of the original files; it was too painful to rebuild it. It was meant to be called "The Last One," in fact this track should have been the last track to record for our second album The Hipster Sacrifice back in 2013. We were listening to the remaining files and this particular lyric part caught our attention. We decided to drop the original idea, not to include the song in the album and we agreed on reworking the mix around this catchy vocal.
We loaded a new session and Trebla cut some of the original guitars to make a brand new riff, the one the song starts with. The riff was the game changer. We finally had a big fat guitar which we could combine with our typical heavy electro drums and a touch of analog.
Here we go� The idea was there, printed. We just needed to blend the old parts in it and it fell like working on a remix, which is a little weird. But that was the final approach. We took that way, we called our friend and co-producer Gosteffects in New York and simply told him: "John, the track is there but we are still missing some kick-ass sound design element to make it real. Keep this arrangement but treat it as a remix". John knew exactly what to do. One week later the track we received the first mix and that was basically it.
Some more facelift and we knew we had our single. We needed one in order to warm up for our new album which will come later on 2016. "The Magic" has its own video (watch it here) and a great remix by EDM superstar producer Deorro (here).
