To celebrate the one-year anniversary of the Grammy nominated album, SZA took to social media to tease new covers for the album, which is thought to be dropping this month. The new version will feature ten unheard tracks, with the Snooze hitmaker telling fans that's almost an entirely new album. We cannot wait to hear it.
Ariana Grande has signed a new management deal. The Thank U Next singer recently cut ties with her former manager Scooter Braun, and has reportedly begun a fresh contract working under Brandon Creed at Good World Management. Ariana's news of the signing comes just days after she teased fans online with photos of her back in the studio, with many convinced that new music is on the way. It would make sense for Ariana to have returned to her day job in recent weeks after she wrapped filming on the Wicked movie, which is due for release next year and will see her playing Glinda the Good Witch.
