• The Black Keys have returned with new single, ‘Lo/Hi’, their first new music since 2014
• Ava Max is back with new single, ‘So Am I’. “‘So Am I’ is about loving yourself, being different, being an outcast and not fitting in the format that society wants to put us in – just celebrating what really makes you different”, she says. “Whenever I’m feeling down, I remind myself that my flaws make me perfect, because in reality there is no perfect”.
