Last year, Simon Cowell and his team saw the potential in five individual girls who were auditioning for the second season of The X Factor USA. Those five girls – Dinah-Jane Hansen, Ally Brooke, Camila Cabello, Normani Hamilton and Lauren Jauregui – became Fifth Harmony on the series. Not unlike Cowell’s One Direction (who were similarly put together on the UK version of the series), these ladies struck an immediate chord with America as they sailed through to the season’s finale. Placing third, it wasn’t long after the show that Cowell snatched them up and put them to work on their debut. The release of their first record is still…

Nashville’s Cinderella story, The Civil Wars, were on top of their game: Grammy’s, praise from even the harshest critics and a hit album. Then, with very little notice, it was over. John Paul White and Joy Williams announced their hiatus late last year, which quickly spread, and it seemed the band who were about to secure their place in music history had ended.  Earlier this year though, the band announced that their second album – the first on Sony Music – would indeed be released. And while fans and critics rejoiced, it was surely a question if the duo, who were clearly broken, would have the same chemistry that won…

It’s that time of year again. For one (very long) weekend in June, Nashville is invaded by the fried-food loving, cowboy boot wearing country fans that flood the downtown streets in hopes of getting a glimpse of their favorite country superstars. Superstars who aren’t anywhere to be found other than their black SUVs and on the main stage at LP Field. But still, this long time tradition once known simply as Fan Fair is a Music City staple. Nashville residents – if not working the festival or with one of the artists playing the festival – typically take the long weekend to travel out of state or hibernate, catching up on…

Taylor Swift‘s latest single “Everything Has Changed,” which features her Red tour’s opening act Ed Sheeran, now has an innocently sweet accompanying video. The clip, released on Vevo today, follows the budding friendship between two adorable children – who just happen to be the exact doppelgängers of Swift and Sheeran. Unlike Swift’s previous videos, the singer-songwriter doesn’t appear in the video until the final moments where she and Sheeran make brief cameos. The single, from Swift’s smash hit album Red, follows mega-successful hits “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” “Begin Again,” “I Knew You Were Trouble” and “22.” The duo, who both appeared on last night’s CMT Awards will continue…

Cassadee Pope returned to The Voice stage tonight to perform her new – now hit – single “Wasting All These Tears“.

If you missed her stunning and flawless performance, you can watch it now below. The series, now in its fourth season, is beaming with pride as its first success story returned home. Next up, Pope heads to Nashville for CMA Fest and to perform on the CMT Awards tomorrow night before heading…

Those that gave up hope that NBC’s hit series The Voice would deliver a star, after the first two season’s winners failed to launch, can rest easier now. Season 3 winner Cassadee Pope‘s first single since the show drops today (it hit iTunes late last night). The single “Wasting All These Tears” is the first from the singer’s debut solo album, which will drop later this fall. Since its release, the single has been shooting up the charts – currently #5 on iTunes country chart and quickly climbing. It’s not surprising though, as her singles from the competition show often landed in the top selling spot. Tonight, Pope will return to…

Preparing for the release of his full length debut Long Way Down, the British singer known as Tom Odell delivers his new “short film” video for the single “Another Love.” The track first appeared on the singer’s 2012 released EP Songs from Another Love. When I first heard Odell’s fresh sound and vocal delivery on his lead single “Hold Me,” I was instantly hooked. The past few weeks I’ve found myself growing increasingly more intrigued by the buzzing Brit and the unique promotional efforts he [and his team] have used to build hype surrounding the upcoming release. With the appeal of a grungy Tiger Beat teen and the talent and style of…
