New Music Monday – Katy, Benson, Amanda And Shawn
June 29, 2026 12:04 pmLots of new music today!
What are you thinking about the new Katy Perry song? “Let It Burn”. Katy Perry has described the track as a way of processing a personally difficult year. Instead of falling into a “woe is me” mentality, she uses anger to acknowledge her pain and actively learn from it.
Benson Boone is back with a new single. “Time Of My Life” – a song about appreciating success, but missing someone special.
“Yes, I’m having the time of my life, but something about it feels so off/I wish you came along/If this is as good as it gets, then why is my head such a mess, dear?”
Amanda Marshall is BACK! She is one of Canada’s most successful artists. She’s announced The Dirty 30 Tour: Pearl Celebration, Diamond Legacy, a cross-country tour marking 30 years since her breakthrough.
Amanda says, “This tour is our Dirty 30: Pearl Celebration, Diamond Legacy. Thirty years is traditionally the pearl anniversary, a milestone that represents wisdom, loyalty, and enduring connection. The ‘Diamond Legacy’ part feels especially meaningful because so much of this journey began with my self-titled debut album, and I’m still amazed by the love Canadians have shown it over the years. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate than with the fans who have been with me from the beginning and those who’ve joined along the way. Canada, thank you for making this journey possible. I can’t wait to get back out there, see you all again, and celebrate together.”
Shawn Hook just released “Lie” – turning heartbreak into something unexpectedly uplifting. Inspired by a tough chapter in his own life, “Lie” is a sreminder that sometimes the best way to move on is simply to sing along.
