The 80-year-old singer feared he’d have to stop working when he was diagnosed with dementia in 2021, however, he’s proved himself wrong, as he unveils his new country-inspired album.

Set for release on February 16, 2024, the album – a follow-up to 2011’s ‘Now’s the Time!’ – was produced by long-time collaborator and close friend Graeme Pleeth and recorded in Nashville with his wife Sue and son Sean there every step of the way.

The ‘Amarillo hitmaker said: ”I loved every minute of making this record. It’s the first time my wife Sue had joined me on a recording trip to Nashville. My son rented a house that was literally a two-minute walk across the road to Blackbird recording studios where we spent three weeks making what I believe to be the best album I’ve ever made, and I really mean it. I’ve just come back from Abbey Road Studios where the album has been mastered and it’s the first time I got to hear the album in its entirety and in sequence. I was so blown away by the sound, It brought me to tears. This album is very special to me and has been in the planning for a good few years.”

The new single ‘Home Home Home’ is out now on streaming platforms.

Dua Lipa wants to “change pop culture”

Dua Lipa
The 28-year-old pop star inspired a whole new generation with her seminal 2020 disco-pop LP ‘Future Nostalgia’, and as her third album campaign gets underway, her team says they are aiming to change the pop landscape again.

So far, Dua has released the lead single ‘Houdini’ from the LP, which sees the star go from disco-pop to electronic psychedelic pop.

She recruited Kevin Parker of the Psychedelic outfit Tame Impala to co-produce the upcoming record alongside rave and electronic pioneer Danny L. Harle.

Meanwhile, Dua says she is thrilled to have bought back her publishing rights to her back catalogue, while encouraging young artists to get lawyered up.

Speaking to Audacy, she said: “I think it’s just something I’ve always wanted — to be in control of my own music.”

She added: “To be able to have all the rights back to my songs feels really good. It’s my life’s work, so it’s good to be the person to say what happens with it.”

Laura Pausini received the Person of the Year Award at the 2023 Latin Grammys on Thursday.

During the 2023 Latin Grammy Awards, the Italian singer was awarded Person of the Year by presenter Karol G.

“I’ve had a very privileged life not only for having the great pleasure of singing in Spanish, but above all, because from that day on I felt adopted like a daughter, a sister,” Laura said in her acceptance speech, via Billboard. “I know that I don’t have the same blood, but I know very well that I have family members who have raised me from a teenager until today, giving me the opportunity to be the most Latin Italian in the entire world. People who have been adopted know very well that it’s not necessary to have the same blood.”

She continued, “Latinos are my family. I feel Latin in my way of being, thinking and feeling. It is very moving for me to receive this award.”

Laura was the third female artist to receive the Person of the Year Award at the Latin Grammys, following Gloria Estefan and Shakira.

The 2023 Latin Grammys were held at the FIBES Conference and Exhibition Centre in Seville, Spain.
