Lorde’s New Record Is A Concept Album              

Lorde opens up about her upcoming album “Melodrama” in a new profile for the “New York Times.”

The singer reveals that the record, due out June 16th, is somewhat of a concept album, and focuses on a single house party. “With a party, there’s that moment where a great song comes on and you’re ecstatic,” she says, “and then there’s that moment later on where you’re alone in the bathroom, looking in the mirror, you don’t think you look good, and you start feeling horrible.”

Lorde also admits that not everyone loved the first single from the album, “Green Light.” She says she played the song for famed songwriter/producer Max Martin, noting, “he had a very specific opinion which had to do with the melodic math—shortening a part.” She says he said the song was an example of “incorrect songwriting,” with Lorde sharing, “This wasn’t an insult just a statement of fact. ... It’s a strange piece of music.”

Ed Sheeran Selects Second Single From “Divide”              

When Ed Sheeran first dropped new music from his album “Divide” back in January he released two songs, “Shape of You” and “Castle on the Hill,” and now the latter has officially become the second single from the record.

“Castle on the Hill” has just been released to radio, although many stations have been playing it for a while now. The tune actually debuted at number six on the Hot 100 when it was first released, with “Shape of You” debuting at number one.

"'Castle' has been out there and fans love it," Atlantic Records senior vp promotion John McMan tells “Billboard,” who adds that “Perfect” will likely be the third single from the record.
