More than 52 years since the release of their last record, the surviving members of English blues-rockers Faces are in the process of preparing a new album.
Word of the forthcoming LP was shared by Faces drummer Kenney Jones in an interview with The Telegraph. The article itself notes that the band have teased an album for four years now, with Rod Stewart confirming its existence in 2021, and again claiming in 2024 that “We haven’t finished it yet, but we’ll finish it this year, I promise.”
In his latest interview, Jones revealed that he and his bandmates have recorded “about 11 tracks” at RAK Studios in London. Jones also confirmed that musician and television personality Jools Holland also contributed to one track. “Not all of them are going to be right [for the album],” he noted. “But most of them are good.
“I can’t see it coming out this year,” he added. “But I can see it coming out next year. Everyone’s doing different things. We do little snippets [of recording] here and there. Then all of a sudden, The Stones are out [on tour] again, Rod’s out again…”
First formed in 1969 as the result of a merger between members of Small Faces and the Jeff Beck Group, Faces existed for just six years before guitarist Ronnie Wood left to join the Rolling Stones, and Stewart continued his ongoing solo career.
The group would release four albums throughout their career, with 1971’s A Nod Is As Good As a Wink… to a Blind Horse becoming their most successful, hitting No. 6 on the Billboard 200. The record would spawn the single “Stay with Me,” which peaked at No. 17 on the Hot 100, and would be followed by their final studio release, Ooh La La, in 1973.
While founding bassist Ronnie Lane would pass away in 1997, keyboardist Ian McLagan would also pass in 2014. Though a series of reunions would take place in the years since their initial dissolution, Faces have been considered something of a going concern since their performance of “Stay With Me” at the 2020 Brit Awards.
Stewart is currently scheduled to perform in the Sunday evening Legends Slot at the 2025 Glastonbury Festival, with a series of Las Vegas residency dates also set to run until October.

The Super Slimey duo has reunited. Young Thug is back with his first single since being released from jail in October as the Future-assisted “Money on Money” arrived on Friday (April 25).
“Money on Money” is slated to appear on Thugger’s upcoming UY SCUTI album, which has a rumored release date of May 9 and marks exactly three years since Thug and 27 others were indicted and taken into custody on RICO charges.
Young Thug made “Money on Money” official with a brief 10-second clip posted to X on Thursday (April 24) that finds the YSL logo surrounded by a circle of flames.
Prior to “Money on Money” hitting streaming services, Thug has laid low for much of the first four months of 2025 outside of appearing on Lil Baby’s “Dum, Dumb, and Dumber” with Future.
Future and Thug have an extensive collaborative history as two of the rap titans calling Atlanta home. They previously joined forces for the Super Slimey joint album in 2017, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200.
Other standout collabs from their catalogs include “Relationship,” Gunna’s “Pushin P,” Drake’s “Way Too Sexy” and “Sup Mate.”
After serving more than two years behind bars as part of the longest-running trial in Georgia’s history, Thug secured his freedom when he was released after reaching a plea deal on Halloween that saw the rapper sentenced to 15 years of probation.
Earlier in April, Thug announced UY SCUTI on X and launched the album’s official online shop equipped with vinyl records, CDs and merch bundles.
“It’s Time. Red Planet,” he wrote alongside the link to the UY SCUTI store. According to Nine Planets, Uy Scuti is a supergiant red star that’s located in the constellation named Scutum.

Megan Thee Stallion season has returned with plenty of time to heat up before the summer. The Houston Hottie has kicked off her next era with the arrival of “Whenever” on Friday (April 25).
The fiery track serves as Meg’s first single of 2025 after she announced plans for the song earlier in April while in the midst of the Coachella madness.
Thee Stallion revealed the Western movie poster-styled cover art this week, which finds her in a cowboy hat and also reads taglines such as, “It’s whatever b—-, it’s whenever h–!” It’s unclear if “Whenever” is slated to land on Meg’s upcoming Act: III album, which she confirmed during a recent TikTok Live that the album was “being made.”
“I’m really just trying to figure out who do I want to do features with at this point in life,” she said. “I only want to do features with people that … one, I haven’t done a feature with yet, and two, that I listen to on my own time — people that I actually, you know, f— with.”
Details about the album remain scarce, however, Megan did admit that she’s hoping to work with Doechii, who is on her “album wish list.”
Megan delivered one of the more memorable sets at Coachella this year. During weekend one, she brought out plenty of special guests including Queen Latifah, Ciara and Victoria Monét. Unfortunately, her mic was cut off after she appeared to run over her set time while performing “Mamushi.”

PinkPantheress was born in Bath, England, and raised in Kent, but on Friday (April 25), she came “Stateside” for her latest single.
“Stateside” arrives three weeks after “Tonight,” the lead single from her upcoming mixtape, Fancy That, which is out May 9 via Parlophone and Warner Records. The club anthem, which samples Panic! At the Disco’s 2008 track “Do You Know What I’m Seeing?,” hit No. 5 on Hot Dance/Pop Songs and No. 25 on Bubbling Under Hot 100. She joked that Doechii “chewed” her up when performing the “Tonight” dance backstage at H&M’s inaugural music festival in Los Angeles earlier this month.

PinkPantheress Announces New ‘Stateside’ Single
Fancy That will include seven more songs, but in a Reddit thread last week, the English singer-songwriter-producer said “Stateside” and “Illegal” were the songs she enjoyed creating the most. “I really wanted to make music where it sounds like a statement is being made with the songs. I feel like that was what appealed to me, and it’s something that I wanted to take on board,” she said in her Mixmag cover story in March, adding that listening to Fatboy Slim and Groove Armada while making the project inspired “the size of the music.”
Fancy That is PinkPantheress’ first project in two years since she dropped her debut studio album, Heaven Knows, which peaked at No. 61 on the Billboard 200. The “Boy’s a Liar” hitmaker dropped her debut mixtape To Hell With It back in 2021, and it reached No. 73 on the Billboard 200.

Peter Criss, the co-founding drummer of rock veterans KISS, has announced the release of his first solo album in almost two decades.
News of Criss’ forthcoming LP was announced via a short video from fansite KissFAQ, where band historian Julian Gill shared details of the record.
“I have an announcement,” Criss tells fans in the video. “I have my new rock and roll album to [share with] you KISS Army guys coming out in the fall, and I really hope you like it, man. And I wanna say God bless to each and every one of you.”
Gill then took over with the reporting, noting that the record is a “hard rock, kick-ass album” that features the production work of Barry Pointer, while Criss is joined by guitarists John 5 and Mike McLaughlin, bassists Billy Sheehan and Matthew Montgomery, and pianist Paul Shaffer. The record also features the talents of backing vocalists Dennis and Sharron Collins, and Cathryn Manning.
“I was honored to listen to this album at Peter’s studio with him last night, and it was absolutely amazing to hear this new music,” adds Gill. “It was vibrant and powerful.
“I’m so excited for it to be released, and I think KISS fans are gonna love this album. Peter’s drum sound is absolutely massive and his vocals are powerful. Barry Pointer’s production is stunning, and Peter’s got an incredible group of musicians and background vocalists behind him.”
The as-yet-untitled studio album will be Criss’ first solo release since 2007’s One for All, which itself arrived 13 years after his previous solo release. Criss had previously touched upon a new solo album back in 2017, revealing that he had a “half-finished rock album” whose composition could be traced back to before his 2008 diagnosis with breast cancer. However, Criss explained at the time that his retirement from the touring circuit would hopefully result in its completion.
Criss initially departed KISS in 1980, having performed his last show with the band in December 1979. He would later rejoin the band in 1996 as part of their original lineup reunion, and following a brief departure in 2001, would rejoin the band until his final exit in 2004.
While former KISS members Ace Frehley and Bruce Kulick would make guest appearances with the band in their final years, Criss did not take part in any additional shows with the band following his departure, and has not performed live since his retirement from touring in June 2017.

Joe Jonas Makes Unexpected Cameo in ‘Big Dumb Line’ Sketch on ‘SNL’
Ahead of his forthcoming sophomore solo album, Music for People Who Believe in Love, the second-eldest JoBro has released his long-teased “Heart by Heart,” a booming, reflective track that blends a pop foundation with elements of ’90s country and arena rock. “Well, if he don’t ever light your spark/ Remember, I know your heart by heart,” he sings in the pre-chorus over swirling guitars and percussion, striking an impressive balance between dirty macking and heartfelt ode to the enduring power of genuine connections.
As the third offering from Music for People following 2024’s “Work It Out” and “What This Could Be,” “Heart By Heart” further solidifies Joe’s solo sound and differentiates from his work alongside his brothers and DNCE bandmates – as well as the electropop throughlines of his 2011 debut LP, Fastlife.
Accompanying the new single is a Bleeker Street Bar-set music video that finds Jonas embodying the ethos of Heineken’s new “Social Off Socials” campaign. Launched on Thursday (April 24), the new campaign seeks to remind consumers that the original social network is the bar – and that no mode of communication beats in-person connections. It’s a poignant message for a population still recovering from the psychological and emotional impact of not just the COVID-19 pandemic, but also the ever-growing pressures of existing in the digital age. Jonas also stars in the beer brand’s new video spot, which features him dramatizing his reaction to empty social media feeds before eventually stumbling on a packed bar.
On the evening of the campaign launch, Jonas and Heineken teamed up for a special event at Bleeker Street Bar, where the Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter played “Heart by Heart” for the first time in front of an audience free of phones and social media. He even captured the crowd’s real-time reactions for the track’s forthcoming music video, playing the song twice, with a passionate rendition of “What This Could Be” sandwiched in between. Jonas will unleash his full Music for People Who Believe in Love LP on May 23 via Republic Records. Alongside his solo efforts, Jonas and his brothers will release their seventh studio album, Greetings from Your Hometown, on Aug. 8 — a little over four months after the band hosted JonasCon to celebrate their 20-year anniversary.
“I chose to debut my new song offline and in-person because it felt like the perfect time to return to what music is really about: connecting with people,” Jonas said at the event. “The crowd was so real, so present, and completely locked into the music – that is something you can’t experience by watching on social media.”
During the video shoot, Billboard got some time with Jonas himself as he opened up about recording “Heart by Heart,” his favorite poets, and resuming his solo musical journey nearly 15 years after his debut.
What was the writing process for “Heart by Heart” like?
[“Heart By Heart”] was actually pitched to me [by] Savan Kotecha. He wrote it with Lewis Capaldi, and I just loved the messaging behind it. I really felt connected to it, so we did some tweaks, and I recorded it last year around the summer or fall. We held onto the song for a while. It felt like the song I really wanted to be the next single of my album, so I’m positioning it in a way where it speaks to where I’m at in my life and the emotional side of where I’m at. I’ve teased it long enough, so I’m eager for people to hear it.
How many takes did it take for you to nail that bridge?
Savan and the whole Max Martin team are brilliant because they will be very particular about what they want, and that’s always really encouraging. They’ll hear something and be like, “Eh, the diction on this word, etc.” [The song] took a few takes, but ultimately, when you connect with anything, it falls together quite quickly. For me, I thought it was pretty natural to get into the song emotionally. The bridge [took] a few takes, but honestly, the song itself happened quite fast – all the mixing and that.
Why does this feel like the right song to launch alongside the Heineken campaign?
I think it was good timing. Heineken came with this amazing campaign of being present [and it resonated with me]. We’re all on our phones all the time, doom-scrolling; I’ll be in bed and be like, “I could be doing so many things right now.” I went to the Masters Tournament recently, and you’re not allowed to have your phone there. The anxiousness you get is crazy; I get in line to order a drink, I’m checking my pockets, and it’s like, “Wait a minute, I can just be.” It’s a nice reminder to be present. I was about to release the song, and they were about to launch the campaign, and we chose the same day.
What’s the most interesting thing you’ve learned about yourself since returning to solo work?
It’s been a minute since I’ve released anything [solo]. The last album that I did by myself, I’m very proud of. There were a lot of cooks in the kitchen at that time in my life. I was surrounded by a lot of people that I just said, “Yes, and” to. Now, knowing who I am, feeling confident, and looking at my life, I’m so grateful for the friends and family I have around me. And I get to do it again 20-something years later, and find creative ways to speak to what I’ve been through. I know the difference of when it’s a [Jonas] Brothers song or a DNCE song; the music I’ve been making felt really personal. And I selfishly didn’t want to share it with other people. This needed to come from my voice in particular.
What are some of those musical elements that help you differentiate between a solo song, a JoBros song and a DNCE song?
DNCE – our drummer Jack [Lawless] is here, actually – is a funky, sexy, wild, free band, and our audience loves that. We’re a party band; a bar wouldn’t be an unfamiliar place to find us. For the [Jonas] Brothers, [we’re] the guys you know and grew up with. It’s like a warm hug; it’s emotional. But, lyrically, sometimes we can’t always speak. We have three minds going through three different things in our lives. With my solo album, I feel like this music is like my journal that I carry around all the time, and the poetry I’ve been working on.
Who are some of your favorite poets? 
I have a few! Mary Oliver is probably my favorite among many people. I love her poetry. At the beginning of my solo shows right now, I project a Mary Oliver poem [“The Journey”] about realizing the only person you can save is yourself. It’s so powerful. I’m most encouraged by her writing.
What’s your go-to bar order?
I usually go with tequila. Tequila soda with an orange wedge. I don’t know why, but I’m doing the rocks glass — it feels like it tastes different from a tall glass. I’ve also been getting into martinis.
What’s your go-to bar song?
If you’re doing karaoke, you can always do “Don’t Stop Believin’,” and everyone is thrilled. If it’s just me, I like “Piano Man” by Billy Joel. But I’ve Shazamed Brazilian and Spanish hip-hop, so it can be different for any setting.
Where’s your dream place to perform “Heart by Heart?”
A giant stadium, so hopefully this song will be popular enough by when we open the tour on Aug. 10 and people request it!

With Success in Film, Streaming & Music, Plus Vocal Activism, Selena Gomez Is Her Own…
The Woman of the Year award is presented to a female artist who has demonstrated exceptional success, leadership and cultural influence in the music industry and beyond. Previous Women of the Year honorees at Latin Women in Music include Shakira and Karol G.
Below, Selena Gomez’s full speech:
Thank you so much to everyone at Billboard. I wish I could be there with all of you, but I’m filming in New York. This means so much to me as a Latina. I have been working most of my life and to be seen, supported and celebrated by women who share our roots is truly, truly powerful.
Growing up, I was extremely proud of my Mexican heritage. I didn’t see a lot of women who looked like me at the center of the story or onstage and it was just rare. Our stories, our voices and our cultures deserve to be celebrated.
Releasing my EP Revelación was one of the proudest moments of my career only because it felt like I was creating music for something that I had wanted to give my heritage and my family, and for myself. Not only did it give me another opportunity to highlight my culture, but also I knew it would make my abuela very proud.
And finally, to my fans, I can never say it enough: It’s because of you that I’m able to do what i love. And thank you all for supporting me for all of these years. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love you all, te amo.
Hosted by 2024 honoree Ana Bárbara, the third annual edition of the Billboard Latin Women in Music special was broadcasted live exclusively on Telemundo, Universo, Peacock, and the Telemundo app, and throughout Latin America and the Caribbean via Telemundo Internacional.

The stage transformed into a luminous desert landscape, complete with glowing cacti and a full moon, setting the perfect atmosphere for the emotional ballad. Ana Bárbara dazzled in a crystal-encrusted cowboy hat paired with a fur-trimmed top, exuding iconic glamor, while Yahritza brought a contemporary edge in her relaxed, baggy attire. Together, their powerful vocals soared, sending chills and leaving an indelible mark on the night.
The duet between the iconic regional Mexican singer-songwriter and the rising sibling trio showcased the beauty of intergenerational artistry and celebrating the profound impact of women in Latin music.
Released last Friday, “Besos Robados” is a heartfelt ballad that delves into themes of heartbreak, longing and the bittersweet process of letting go. “You, who inspired me so many, many melodies/ You left my heart so empty/ I’d better say goodbye (I wanted you by my side, but today they are stolen kisses),” they sang in Spanish.
In addition to being one of the evening’s performers, Ana Bárbara also took on the role of host for the prestigious gala. Last year, she received the Lifetime Achievement award at the gala.
