It’s official — Karol G is entering a new era. The Colombian superstar has announced her sixth studio LP, No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto. Thankfully, fans won’t have to wait too long to hear the new album as it is set for release on Aug. 7.

Karol G shared the news at her show at Rogers Stadium in Toronto during her latest tour stop on the Viajando Por El Mundo trek. “I’ve been working on a project for a couple of months,” Karol said in Spanish. “I’ve been locked in for months making new music. For months, I’ve been preparing a segment that will form part of this tour. I want to announce that on August 7, my new album will come out. It’s an album that I can’t wait to sing with all of you,” she added.


The Colombian superstar went on to unveil the official cover artwork for the first time, flashing the blue-tinted cover across the stadium’s screens. Of course, it matches the same shade that she’s been using for the past few months to hint at a new project. Since Karol announced her Tropitour in April, she’s leaned heavily into a blue aesthetic for her tour trailer and promo photos. “If you think you’ve already seen it all, remember that La Bichota always surprises you,” Karol said at the time on her social media.

Last week, the singer released new song “Matadora” during the opening night of her tour. An official tracklist for No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto has yet to be revealed, but the unapologetic track is likely to appear on the album.

It’s an exciting time for Karol, as she continues her global stadium tour. In a recent cover story for Elle, detailed her personal and artistic evolution. “The next version of me will be new to people,” she told the publication, “but it’s always been there, dormant.”

Tony Iommi on New Solo Album, Missing Ozzy Osbourne, and How He’s Not Going Anywhere

Sometimes Tony Iommi needs to remind himself to write songs that sound a little more upbeat. “I tend to always start off with the doomy stuff,” the former Black Sabbath guitarist says with a chuckle on a phone call from his home in England. “It always has been that way. I just get absorbed with doomy riffs. It’s a feeling I get when I play something heavy and powerful. I still like the up-tempo stuff, of course, though.”

“World Alone,” the first single off From the Dark, Iommi’s upcoming solo album — his first in more than two decades, due Oct. 23 — is decidedly up-tempo. But it’s still heavy. The song finds the guitarist, 78, playing a walloping riff and a snarling solo, recalling Black Sabbath’s cutting Mob Rules album but with a unique, modern twist thanks to vocalist Jørn Lande’s gutsy wailing and apocalyptic lyrics. The song and the seven others on the album, which only sound heavier and more menacing, show how Iommi is doing his own thing apart from Black Sabbath’s legacy but still staying within the doomy world of sound he began constructing nearly 60 years ago.

Why Are So Many Musicians Singing on Couches? An Investigation

If you’re a lamp or a bed, we have bad news for you. There’s a new kid in town, and it has four legs, a pair of armrests, and is a major supporter of vertical posture. That’s right: couches. These bad boys are the new in-demand stage prop at concerts, with more and more musicians incorporating the piece of furniture into their set — from Lily Allen to Charli XCX to Hilary Duff. We aren’t sure why, exactly, so allow us to investigate.

Couches have always had a strong presence in song lyrics — just think of Jeff Buckley’s “So Real,” Paramore’s “All I Wanted,” the Arctic Monkey’s “Do I Wanna Know?” and Snail Mail’s “c. et. al.” (in the case of most of these tracks, couches are good for sleeping or spilling drinks on, especially when you’re wasted). But appearing onstage so frequently is a new thing. We got used to seeing beds a lot: Sabrina Carpenter fittingly sang from a canopy one during the sensual “Bed Chem” on the Short n’ Sweet Tour, Taylor Swift brought a massive white metal bed to deliver “Fortnight” during the Eras run, and Usher is currently bringing his R&B magic to the mattress on tour during “Seduction.” But the couches have officially taken over. These days, if you’re a musician preparing to hit the road, it’s probably number three on the must-have list, behind “in-ear monitors” and “herbal tea.”

Noah Kahan Slams White House for Using His Song in Trump Promo Video

Noah Kahan has made it clear that he would never approve the use of his music to support the Trump administration.

On Monday, the White House posted a series of Instagram photos depicting President Donald Trump‘s visit to General Motors’ flagship test site in Michigan. During his stop, the president took the opportunity to boast about his controversial tariffs across the auto industry and pumped his fist while watching a drag race. The photo carousel was bizarrely soundtracked to Kahan’s “American Cars,” a song the artist wrote for his sister, Sasha, about how she’s the family’s problem solver.
