Pop-punk mainstays New Found Glory have ended a six-year album gap with Listen Up!, their 11th studio LP and first release via Pure Noise Records. The 10-track set arrived Feb. 20.

Formed in 1997 in Coral Springs, Florida, the quartet — vocalist Jordan Pundik, guitarist Chad Gilbert, bassist Ian Grushka and drummer Cyrus Bolooki — are approaching their 30th anniversary as a band.

Listen Up! follows 2023’s Make the Most of It EP and arrives amid a period of personal challenges for the group, including Gilbert’s ongoing battle with aggressive metastatic cancer.

The album builds on the introspective tone of that EP while returning to the band’s fast-paced, riff-driven pop-punk sound. The project opens with “Boom Roasted” and closes with “Frankenstein’s Monster,” and includes previously released tracks “Beer and Blood Stains,” “Treat Yourself” and “Laugh It Off,” along with the newly issued “A Love Song.”

Speaking about the album’s intent, Gilbert said, “We wanted to make something that really focused on how lucky we are.” That sentiment is echoed in “Beer and Blood Stains,” which reflects on the band’s early years and includes the lyric, “It’s good to be alive.”

The writing process included Bolooki and Grushka traveling to Gilbert’s Nashville-area home to develop material together, resulting in what the band has described as a renewed, riff-first approach reminiscent of earlier releases.

Following the album’s release, New Found Glory will hit the road for an extensive run of shows. The band joins Yellowcard for the Up Up Down Down Tour, a 27-date spring outing with Plain White T’s beginning May 6 in Atlanta and concluding June 20 in Springfield, Massachusetts. Stops include Chicago, Denver, Nashville and New York.

International dates include an appearance at Hammersonic 2026 in Indonesia on May 3. Festival stops are also scheduled at Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival in Columbus (May 14–17) and multiple dates of the returning Vans Warped Tour, including Washington, D.C., Mexico City and Orlando.

We would definitely turn our red chairs around for two surprise karaoke singers who popped up at New York’s Baby Grand LES on Thursday night: Kelly Clarkson and John Legend.

The two pop superstars — who return as coaches alongside Adam Levine on The Voice: Battle of Champions starting Monday — stopped by the NYC karaoke bar along with comedian and social celeb Druski for some impromptu performances, and Billboard was on the scene.

Druski kicked things off with Journey’s sing-along staple “Don’t Stop Believin’,” asking for a shot at the. beginning and having it delivered by the last chorus. Next up was Legend, who told the crowd “I only rap when I do karaoke” before tackling Snoop Dogg’s “Drop It Like It’s Hot.” Finally, Clarkson did what she does best — singing other people’s songs as well as and often even better than the originals — by covering Gloria Gaynor’s karaoke classic “I Will Survive.”

Billboard even got to make a request: When Clarkson asked for some good karaoke songs and we nominated “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” the trio performed Bonnie Tyler’s four-week Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit from 1983. Finally, the crew banded together for Clarkson’s 2005 Hot 100 No. 2 hit “Since U Been Gone” for a shout-along finish.

Next week, you can catch Clarkson, Legend and Levine on The Voice: Battle of Champions, which finds the coaches inviting back some of their favorite winners over the past 28 seasons of the NBC reality singing competition to see who will reign supreme. The season premiere is on Monday at 9 p.m. ET on NBC.

Above, you can watch an interview with this season’s coaches, where they talk about Clarkson’s triumphant return to The Voice and why Jordan Smith — who has found success on Billboard‘s Christian charts since winning season 9 — is going to be tough to beat.

Camila Cabello is using her platform to raise awareness for her home country of Cuba.

In a Friday (Feb. 20) post on Instagram, the Fifth Harmony alum shared photos of herself as a young girl living in the Caribbean nation alongside present-day pictures of Cuban citizens protesting conditions under the current government. “There is so much going on here at home and so much I can say about the heartbreaking things the immigrant community is experiencing here in the US,” she wrote. “I also feel a personal responsibility to speak about what’s happening in Cuba, I still have family on the island that we speak to and send medicine, food and clothes to.”

“It has been 67 years of a failing dictatorship and an oppressive regime,” Cabello continued. “The Cuban people are suffering in an echo chamber where no one can hear them because to speak is to risk your life. Many people are starving, looking for food in trash heaps, and the only way to survive is having relatives ship you boxes of medicine because not even the hospitals have medicine.”

The pop singer went on to say that sometimes the country’s electricity is “gone for so long that food spoils and water becomes scarce” and wrote that when some “people have peacefully protested, they have disappeared or been put behind bars, some as young as 13 years old.”

“This is a reality where a post online costs you your life,” she added. “The Cuban people have lived without dignity and without hope for too long. It’s no wonder so many Cubans have thrown themselves into shark infested waters, making boats out of tires and sticks and risking their lives for freedom.”

Cabello ended her post by encouraging fans to donate to Caritas Cuba, a Catholic humanitarian organization.

Cuba’s infrastructure changed forever in 1959, when Fidel Castro assumed power after the Cuban Revolution. He was succeeded by his brother, Raúl Castro, after which current president Miguel Díaz-Canel took office in 2018 — although Raúl still holds a seat in the National Assembly as well as the title of Army General.

Cabello’s ties to Cuba are deeply personal, as she lived there until she was about 7 years old, after which she moved with her mom to Miami.

“I didn’t speak any English,” she recalled to Grazia in 2021. “My parents brought me here for the same reason that a lot of migrant families immigrate, which is just there’s opportunities that aren’t available in the country where you live, or violence. My parents were looking for a better life for me.”

Lil Jon is grieving the unthinkable loss of his son, Nathan Smith. On Thursday (Feb. 19), the crunk pioneer penned a heartfelt tribute to his late child on social media after laying the 27-year-old to rest earlier this week.

“On the first day of Ramadan yesterday, We laid my only son to rest. In this holy month, I’m asking for extra du’a for him and for our family,” Lil Jon captioned a slideshow of Kodak moments shared with his son over the years. “Please pray that Allah grants him Jannah and grants us sabr, mercy, and strength. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un.”

The “Get Low” rapper continued: “I love you, son. Life will never be the same without you. Allah, give me strength. Also thank you to everyone who has reached out with condolences, love, and prayers we appreciate you all. I will make sure the world knows your talent and never forgets your name. Nathan Murray Smith.”

Nathan Smith, who produced under the alias DJ Young Slade, was reported missing on Feb. 3 by the Milton Police Department in Georgia. Smith’s body was discovered by the Cherokee County Fire Department in a nearby pond on Feb. 6.

The Milton Police Department doesn’t suspect foul play, but an investigation remains ongoing. The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office has yet to complete an autopsy.

Lil Jon confirmed his son’s passing in a statement to Billboard on Feb. 6, calling the NYU graduate the “kindest human being you would ever meet.”

“I am extremely heartbroken for the tragic loss of my son, Nathan Smith,” Lil Jon said. “His mother and I are devastated. He was immensely caring, thoughtful, polite, passionate, and warmhearted — he loved his family and the friends in his life to the fullest.”

He continued: “We loved Nathan with all of our hearts and are incredibly proud of him,” Lil Jon added. “He was loved and appreciated, and in our last times together we’re comforted in knowing that we expressed that very sentiment to him.”
