GRAMMY Award-winning multi-platinum superstar DJ / producer Tiësto is joining forces with Columbia Records / Sony Music Nashville artist-songwriter Alana Springsteen for their new single, “Hot Honey,” available now alongside an official music video that broadcast premiered on MTV.

“Hot Honey” melds Tiësto’s signature electronic sound and his ability to experiment in an expansive variety of genres, with the soulful Country tone and top-tier songwriting that’s positioned Springsteen as a fast-rising one-to-watch in Country music.

“I’ve always been drawn to fun/party side and the authenticity of Country music, so when I had the opportunity to team up with Alana Springsteen to make a Country dance song, I was super excited!” said Tiësto. “Alana has an incredible voice, which is precisely the texture this song needed, and I respect her abilities as a songwriter as well as her artistry. This is a different sound for me but as you know by now, I like to explore and am inspired by all different genres when making dance music! I hope you enjoy this song as much as we did creating it.”

“How often do you get the chance to collaborate with one of the most iconic DJs of all time? When Tiësto reached out to see if I’d want to get creative with him on ‘Hot Honey,’ I saw it as the most invigorating opportunity. I’ve always loved exploring sonically and being able to do that with dance music while staying true to my Country roots – that’s what excites me about being an artist and songwriter,” shares Springsteen. “I’m honored that Tiësto trusted me with this song, and I can’t wait to sing it live at one of his insane shows!”

With a voice dubbed “the future of country music” by PEOPLE, Springsteen’s three-part debut album, TWENTY SOMETHING, earned her critical acclaim including NPR, which named the title-track as one of “The Best Songs of 2023” in All Songs Considered. As an in demand emerging talent that’s headlined to sold-out crowds globally and supported tours across multiple genres, her innate ability to connect continues to prove E! News’ title as “one of Nashville’s most buzzworthy emerging artists.”

Following the release of “Hot Honey,” Tiësto will celebrate his internationally chart-topping career with Prismatic, an epic four-hour DJ set slated for two exclusive performances at Queens, NY’s Forest Hills Stadium (October 25) and Morrison, CO’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre (November 15). The landmark Prismatic set marks the beginning of a new milestone in Tiësto’s career while giving fans a taste of what’s to come and a chance to reminisce on where it all started. The experience will be an epic 4-hour DJ set that takes fans on a sonic journey through the eras of his career, where they will witness Tiësto at peak creativity and freedom with his set – like nothing they’ve ever heard at one of his festival or club performances.

In addition to Prismatic, Tiësto is currently traveling the globe on a non-stop series of live dates, including headline sets, multiple Las Vegas residencies, and top-billed festival performances around the globe.

And from “Koala” to some of the album’s monumental collaborations, like the missile of a pop banger “Lighter” with David Guetta and 5 Seconds of Summer, Rx is a mind-bending shot to the synapses.

GRAMMY-nominated international superstar and LGBTQ+ trailblazer Adam Lambert, the first openly gay artist to have an album reach No. 1 on the Billboard album chart in the US and Canada, signals his electrifying and unapologetic next musical chapter with today’s release of his “Whataya Want From Me ’24 (WhiteShadow’s HEMix).”

Now streaming on all platforms, the song reimagines Lambert’s 2009 smash hit “Whataya Want From Me,” the second single off his debut album For Your Entertainment and the song that earned him a GRAMMY nomination for best male pop vocal performance.

Cleverly titled a ‘HE’-Mix, one of the most noteworthy changes of Lambert’s “Whataya Want From Me ’24 (WhiteShadow’s HEMix)” is the reimplementation of the pronoun “he” which was replaced with “it” when the song was originally recorded in 2009. “HE messed me up / Need a second to breathe,” Lambert proudly sings in this 2024 version to reclaim the pronoun and queerness in his artistry. Embracing a dance-centric approach, the HE-mix is tailor-made to set dance floors ablaze, inviting individuals from all walks of life to come together and revel in the joy of unabashed self-expression.

“‘Whataya Want From Me’ is a song that I hold dear to my heart and its success contributed to me having a platform to speak out in support of queer rights and equality,” said Lambert. “It’s a beautiful, full circle moment that I’m now able to reclaim it loud and proud with the ‘he’ pronoun to celebrate my community and how far we’ve come, with real representation and a spectrum of vibrant identities flourishing in the music industry. 2009 wasn’t ready for me, 2024 is.”

On May 31 2024, Lambert will kick off PRIDE month and WeHo Pride Weekend programming with a performance at WeHo Pride Presents Friday Night at OUTLOUD, a free outdoor concert courtesy of the City of West Hollywood, taking place at West Hollywood Park.

Sending off her biggest year yet, Tita Lau channels rockstar energy into her latest single I Can’t Take No More via Sonny Fodera’s Solotoko label.

The force of nature and multifaceted vocalist, producer, and DJ has rapidly become the blueprint for young, emerging female electronic talent in a remarkably short amount of time. Fresh off her recent win of 1001 Tracklist’s ‘Future of Dance Award’, the rising star is currently in the midst of a string of global live dates across Amsterdam, New York City, Rome, Madrid and more.

This past year alone has seen numerous milestones for the formidable producer and vocalist such as the sell-out success of her first headline show in LA at Daytrip Festival, her debut Tommorrowland set, and DJ support from the likes of FISHER. Her dynamic stage presence and infectious confidence inspired by the likes of rock and roll gods like Debbie Harry has riled up crowds this past summer at her Hi Ibiza residence and Dubai’s The Penthouse.

Featuring herself on both production and vocal duties, Lau’s breakthrough single The Sequel garnered over 4M streams whilst landing a no.1 placing on Spotify’s Housewerk playlist and a no.5 spot on the Beatport Chart, cementing her as a firm one to watch. Already a respected name with her vocal collaborations on Patrick Topping’s Turbo Time (10M streams), and Anton Powers’ Thinking About You (25M streams), Tita Lau is cementing her presence in the industry with energetic tech-house that boasts consistent top 10 Beatport positions on the main chart, including a no.1 record for Disconnected with James Hype. She’s released on notable labels like Sonny Fodera’s Solotoko, James Hypes Stereohype, Spinnin’ Records and more and extended her reach further afield when she performed at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

The multifaceted artist now rounds off the year with a bang with I Can’t Take No More. She describes the rock influence on the track “I was having an 80s rock morning listening to Joan Jett and instantly felt inspired to get in the studio and be a rockstar. I added the techno sounds and the rave stabs to give it that Tita Lau energy.” Featuring earworm vocal melodies, heavy-hitting breakdowns, and vivacious basslines, I Can’t Take No More packs all of Tita Lau’s signature punch.

Rising electro-pop star Issey Cross has unveiled a special new Tiësto Remix of breakout single, ‘Bittersweet Goodbye’.

Tiësto says, “While putting my set together for Tomorrowland I came across Issey’s song and knew with a bangin’ mix, I had the perfect closing track ! When meeting Issey backstage before my second weekend performance I knew we could create a super special moment together and so asked her to perform my version live. It was totally spontaneous as the best things are and this version is also special since it’s a lot harder than most of my work so therefore I called it Tiësto’s hardcore remix!”

Originally debuted by Tiësto during his headline set on the mainstage at Tomorrowland to over 100,000 people in July, his Hardcore Remix is a testament to the anthemic, hands-in-the-air pull of ‘Bittersweet Goodbye’ – a record fast closing in on the UK Top 40.

Joining him at Tomorrowland the following weekend, Issey then performed the song live with Tiësto for the first time ahead of its release as an official remix today, banking over 14M cross-platform views in the process – a special moment for an artist firmly on the cusp of breaking through.

Following her appearance at Met Gala, GRAMMY-winning international pop sensation and critically-acclaimed songwriter Kim Petras has released the music video for her new single “Alone” (with Nicki Minaj) – out now via Republic Records / Amigo Records.

The steamy club banger features diamond-selling hip-hop icon, and one of Kim’s biggest inspirations, Nicki Minaj. The video sees the duo embodying a man’s ultimate fantasies to figure out how to finally get him all alone while making references to multiple club classics such as Eric Prydz’s “Call on Me,” Alex Gaudino’s “Destination Calabria,” and Fedde Le Grand’s “Put Your Hands Up For Detroit.”

“Alone” (with Nicki Minaj), which samples Alice Deejay’s eurodance megahit “Better Off Alone,” has racked up millions of streams and was featured on top playlists across Apple, Spotify, Amazon, and more.

Kim attended last night’s Met Gala as a guest of Marc Jacobs, paying homage to Karl Lagerfeld’s Chanel era with a look that incorporated Chanel’s Camellia flower and their classic black and white color palette, with a Chanel-inspired diamanté spin on Marc’s classic kiki boot.

Kim is also gearing up for festival appearances at Governor’s Ball in NYC this June, Osheaga in Montreal this August, Life is Beautiful in Las Vegas and The Town in São Paulo, Brazil this September.

She will also be performing at Hard Rock Live in Miami, Florida on May 19, presented by Sports Illustrated to celebrate the release of their annual swimsuit issue.

Kim is continuing a milestone year that began with her and Sam Smith’s LGBTQ history making GRAMMY win for Best Pop Duo / Group Performance for their #1 global, platinum smash hit “Unholy”– which just surpassed one billion streams. “Unholy,” which Kim co-wrote and performed with Sam on the GRAMMY Awards, Saturday Night Live, and the BRIT Awards, quickly became one of 2022’s top pop debuts. Kim also released her icy, beat-heavy bop “brrr,” which she performed on Late Night With Seth Meyers and at Billboard’s Women In Music event where she was honored with the Chartbreaker Award.

Tiësto has officially released his long-awaited album, Drive, the crowning achievement that celebrates the latest period of Tiësto’s career.

Drive is Tiësto’s first conceptual album since Kaleidoscope in 2009, it’s visual component paying homage to his life-long fascination of Formula 1 racing. The art is inspired by the 2004 Monaco Grand Prix, where a $430,000 diamond affixed to the front of a racecar disappeared forever – a tale that sets the album’s tone of sophisticated glitz and intrigue.

“I am so beyond excited for this project to be out in the world!” said Tiësto. “This album is something anyone can enjoy on the dancefloor, in the gym, on a car ride, anywhere or anytime you are looking for incredible sonics and energy. Seeing how much everyone is loving the string of singles has been incredible, and it was amazing putting the full album all together.”

Drive showcases the sleek and sexy sound that’s become Tiësto’s signature.

Lead single “The Business” (2X PLATINUM) has already amassed over 1.7 billion streams worldwide, and the album features even more hits. Named for the perpetual momentum of his creative calling and the physical movement his work continues to inspire, the album also includes multi-million streaming worldwide hit singles “Don’t Be Shy” with Karol G (GOLD CERTIFIED), “The Motto with Ava Max (PLATINUM),” “Hot In It (With Charli XCX),” “10:35” with Tate McRae (quickly approaching gold status) and “All Nighter” which together have a combination of over 4.4 billion global streams. Drive’s new music video for “All Nighter” follows a string of videos from the previously released tracks directed by Christian Breslauer, Hannah Lux Davis and Courtney Phillips, which combined have amassed 775 million views.

The captivating visuals alongside fresh music from Tiësto took over the internet with fans + VIPs sharing their experience.

Musically, the concept album details an epic night out, certainly an experience Tiësto understands better than most. This nightlife voyage begins with “All Nighter” a call to arms for the madness to come. Ava Max then encourages listeners to “drop a few bills and pop a few champagne bottles” on “The Motto” before the evening shifts into full gear with the clock striking “10:35.” It’s then time to hit the dance floor and get down to “The Business”.

This party then welcomes vocal guests A Boogie “Chills (LA Hills)”, Charli XCX “Hot In It”, The Black Eyed Peas “Pump It Louder” and Karol G “Don’t Be Shy”, with the vibe then shifting into house music that will make you fall in love on the dancefloor on “I’d Bet”, and the alluring afterhours feel of “Back Around.” The LP closes with “Lay Low,” the one to play at dawn when all you want is to live the night over again. Drive makes the thrill of the dancefloor available whenever, and wherever, listeners turn it on.

Tiësto is no stranger to pushing boundaries, and Drive promises to be no exception. With its innovative production, genre-defying collaborations, and infectious hooks, the album cements Tiësto’s status as one of the most influential artists in electronic music today.
