The Tanu Muino-directed visual sees Lipa showing off her best moves at the Piscina Municipal de Montjuïc in Barcelona. She’s surrounded by a group of synchronized swimmers, who climb the pool tower by the end of the video, and finish their elaborate choreography with Lipa delivering the last line, “You think I’m gonna fall for an illusion?”

“Illusions” was one of the songs that initially inspired her new album Radical Optimism, and she felt things were going in the right direction after recording it.

“When Kevin [Parker] and Danny [L Harle] came together and it was the live drums and the synths and the big music breakdown, in my head the big dance moment, when all those came together it was just a feeling. I had a feeling and I was like, now I have something to bounce off of,” she told Variety.

Radical Optimism will hit the shelves on May 3, and “Illusion” is the third single released from this album, following “Houdini” and “Training Season”.

The lyrics of Rodrigo’s latest single perfectly capture the destructive need to know more about your partner’s dating history. “I know her star sign, I know her blood type,” she sings before delivering the song’s explosive chorus, and what we see on screen perfectly captures her all-consuming feeling of jealousy.

Rodrigo is the only girl wearing black in the room of pageant queens attending a ballroom party for girls who all once dated the same guy. They all wear sashes that reflect their history together, ranging from “Miss Thought She Was the One” to “Miss Mom’s Favorite”.

“Obsessed” was released as the lead single from Guts (Spilled), which also features songs “Scared of My Guitar”, “Stranger”, “Girl I’ve Always Been”, and “So American”. They were previously featured on some vinyl editions of Rodrigo’s sophomore studio album before its deluxe edition hit the shelves on March 22.

The original edition of Guts also produced hit singles “Vampire”, “Bad Idea Right?”, and “Get Him Back”, and Rodrigo is promoting it with a tour across North America and Europe this spring and summer.

Palmer recently attended Usher’s My Way residency in Las Vegas, and this city serves as a setting for his latest music video. After getting ready for a girl’s night out and singing along to Usher’s hit “U Remind Me” in an elevator, Palmer can be seen joining forces with the R&B superstar and dancing on the casino floor by his side, while wearing the same outfit.

Palmer admired Usher for as long as she can remember, and she even auditioned for his film In the Mix when she was 12. She didn’t win the role back in the day, but she got to live her dream of being in Usher’s music video almost two decades later.

“You have been killing it all my life. As a true lover of the arts, your talent and craftsmanship are a rare combination that I aspire to achieve as a performer. You are a living legend who is worthy of awe! Thank you for encouraging me and seeing me as the entertainer I am,” she wrote on social media.

Smith and Harris kept things fun and simple with this music video, which sees them preparing for their next big race. Smith can mostly be seen singing along to the song’s lyrics, such as, “​​You are my desire/And just the thought of you is keeping me awake/You take me higher/Take me away.”

The release of the “Desire” music video comes two weeks after the duo dropped this song on July 28. Great things happen whenever Smith and Harris collaborate, and “Desire” already hit No. 12 on the Official Singles Chart in the UK, but it will most likely climb higher following the release of this music video.

“Desire” marks the third collaboration between Smith and Harris, who previously topped the charts in the UK with their hit single “Promises” from 2018. Their partnership didn’t end there, and Harris went on to produce the song “I’m Not Here to Make Friends” from Smith’s fourth studio album Gloria.

This cheeky visual opens with Rodrigo hosting an epic house party, but things quickly take an unexpected turn. While singing about the possibility of getting back with her ex, Rodrigo can be seen leaving her friends and going on a wild ride in an attempt to reconnect with her former flame.

Rodrigo had tons of fun making the music video for “Bad Idea Right?” because she decided to bring some of her besties on board.

“I had such a fun time making this song with Dan Nigro in NYC last year. we wrote the chorus as a joke but we loved it so much we made it into a full-fledged song lol! I had a ball making the music video with my friends Petra Collins, Madison Hu, Tate McRae, and Iris Apatow,” she wrote on social media.

“Bad Idea Right?” was released as the second single from Rodrigo’s upcoming studio album Guts, set to hit the shelves on September 8.

The video opens with Eilish sitting down at a lone desk while wearing a retro yellow dress and a blonde ponytail that looks straight out of the Barbie logo. As the video progresses, we get to see her hang tiny replicas of her past outfits on a rack, but she eventually gives it all up after rain and wind keep disrupting her plans.

Eilish admitted she was in the middle of a writing block when Greta Gerwig approached her and her brother/frequent collaborator Finneas O’Connell to record a song for this movie. She was inspired to write again after seeing a snippet of Barbie and crafted lyrics for “What Was I Made For?” with the titular character in mind, only to realize she was also channeling her own personal emotions.

“What Was I Made For?” will be featured on Barbie: The Album, set to come out on July 21, along with new music from Dua Lipa, Ava Max, Charli XCX, Fifty Fifty, Ice Spice, Karol G, Lizzo, Nicki Minaj, and many more.

Directed by Rodrigo’s frequent collaborator Petra Collins, the video opens with the singer performing in an ethereal flower field, that’s actually a part of an award show scenography. She escapes the stage covered in blood after being hit by a falling light, and the video closes with an early shot that shows her being lifted into the night sky.

Rodrigo described “Vampire” as her version of rock opera, and she said its sound significantly evolved after producer Dan Nigro hopped on board and helped improve her original piano version.

“It’s a song about feeling confused and hurt, and at first I thought it was meant to be a piano ballad. But when Dan and I started working on it, we juxtaposed the lyrics with these big drums and crazy tempo changes. So now it’s like a heartbreak song you can dance to,” said Rodrigo in a statement.

“Vampire” was released as the lead single from her highly-anticipated sophomore studio album Guts, set to be released on September 8.

Sheeran described “Eyes Closed” as a song “about losing someone, feeling like every time you go out and you expect to just bump into them, and everything just reminds you of them and the things you did together.” Losing his friend and mentor Jamal Edwards, who suddenly passed away last year, served as the main inspiration for this track.

The visual for “Eyes Closed” was directed by Mia Barnes, and it features a big blue monster that follows Sheeran everywhere he goes. This character was inspired by the movie Harvey and a book that he read to his daughters, where sadness is encapsulated by an imaginary creature. It represents grief that follows us around, engulfing the rooms we’re in, even when no one else can see it.

“Eyes Closed” was released as the lead single from Sheeran’s upcoming album Subtract. It will be released through Asylum and Atlantic Records on May 5 and feature a total of 14 tracks.

Swift’s self-directed video for “Anti-Hero” hit the shelves on October 21, together with the rest of the album. The music video for this record took us on a journey through her past, present, and future, and even showed the singer hilariously peeking from the coffin at her own funeral, spying on her family as they fight over the inheritance.

Swift described “Anti-Hero” as one of her favorite songs she’s ever written, saying it allowed her to delve into her insecurities and explore the parts of herself that she hates and wants to come to terms with.

“Anti-Hero” is one of 13 tracks featured on the standard edition of Swift’s latest album Midnights. When she first announced it, the singer described it as a “journey through terrors and sweet dreams”, inspired by 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout her life.

Following its release on October 21, Midnights broke Amazon Music’s and Spotify’s for the most streamed album in a single day. It’s also the best-selling album of 2022 with over 800,000 units sold in just one day, according to Billboard.
