This week: It’s Over and out for Summer Walker with the third and final album in her signature series, Kelsea Ballerini is taking stock of things with a new EP and Miley Cyrus rises from the ashes with a big soundtrack single.
Summer Walker, Finally Over It
It’s been a four-year wait — but Finally Over It is, well, finally here. The third and presumed final entry in R&B star Summer Walker’s Over It series, the follow-up to 2021’s Still Over It features 18 tracks spread over two discs, and follows a wedding theme — with the two discs titled “For Better” and “For Worse,” and the album art and visuals seeing Walker marrying an elderly white man, implying a hard exit from the world of dating and unsatisfying romantic relationships. The star-studded album features guests ranging from old collaborators Chris Brown, Bryson Tiller and 21 Savage to new friends Sailorr, Brent Faiyaz and Doja Cat, but Walker is arguably still best keeping it simple and solo, as on the unequivocal “No” and the wrenching “Situationship.”
Kelsea Ballerini, Mount Pleasant
Two years after her well-received Rolling Up the Welcome Mat EP — and one year after the full-length Patterns — country star Kelsea Ballerini is back playing the mini-album game with the six-track Mount Pleasant. The abbreviated release is meant “to capture a moment in time,” says Ballerini in a statement, with “six songs I’ve written throughout the summer, marking a chapter of heavy self-examination, longing and stepping further into who I am as a 32-year old woman.” The EP moves quickly but hits hard, with songs of jealousy, heartbreak and frustration written with Ballerini’s typically vivid detail and delivered with her usual bite and tenderness.
Miley Cyrus, “Dream as One”
Miley Cyrus has expressed a particular connection to the themes of the upcoming Avatar sequel Fire and Ash, after losing her Malibu home in the 2018 Woolsey Fire: “Having been personally affected by fire and being rebuilt from the ashes, this project holds profound meaning for me,” Cyrus shared on Instagram, thanking director James Cameron “for the opportunity to turn that experience into musical medicine.” She does so this week with the new ballad “Dream as One,” a stately anthem of love and endurance that refuses to ascribe the concept of “home” to any particular building or place, as Cyrus sings to her partner: “You are my home/ No matter where I go.”
Lewis Capaldi, Survive EP
It’s been a big moment for U.K. pop in the past couple months, with the global breakout of Olivia Dean, a big new RAYE. hit and the return earlier this week of Charli XCX, with two new songs from her upcoming soundtrack to Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights adaptation. Into this moment steps Lewis Capaldi, the formerly Billboard Hot 100-topping singer-songwriter and supreme balladeer — who took the better part of the last two years on a break from touring and recording, for the betterment of his mental health — with his four-track Survive EP. There’s no major swerves with the new release — “It’s…… songs,” was Capaldi’s helpful description of the EP on The Graham Norton Show — but it is rousing with its pervasive sense of perseverance, even through heartbreak on the climactic lighter-waver “Almost.”
Jessie Murph, Sex Hysteria (Deluxe)
July’s Sex Hysteria album marked something of a commercial breakthrough for Jessie Murph, making the top 10 of the Billboard 200 — helped by the success of breakout single “Blue Strips.” This week, the retro-minded 15-track set gets an eight-track bonus disc on the set’s official deluxe edition. The new tracks include the gently soulful and rueful “I Stay I Leave I Love I Lose,” the Amy Winehouse-like, hungover and heartbroken “Easy Sunday Living” and the previously released kiss-off “I’m Not There for You” — already another Hot 100 hit for Murph — and should get fans who’ve finally calmed down from the original Hysteria all good and bothered again.
Dominic Fike, “White Keys”
The always-buzzy Dominic Fike has a big weekend coming up, making his debut as one half of Geezer (alongside Kevin Abstract) at Tyler, The Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw festival. In advance of the performance, Fike today shares “White Keys,” a new-old song that was a formerly unofficially released fan favorite, produced by John Cunningham. “I had forgot about this song and the internet somehow dug it up for me,” Fike commented on the playfully shuffling, lightly forlorn mini-banger in an IG post announcing its release. Abstract showed up in that post’s comments to proclaim: “gay boy returns.”

Like mother, like daughter. Mariah Carey is legendarily unafraid to frankly speak her mind and it seems the apple has not fallen far from the (Christmas) tree when it comes to 14-year-old daughter Monroe. In a rare comment about her dad Nick Cannon‘s 10 other children, Monroe took to Instagram Stories on Thursday (Nov. 13) to opine on her large blended family.

“Clearing something up guys,” wrote Monroe according to People. “i only have ONE brother who is @moroccan.cannon. i do have other half siblings from my dad but they are all man many years younger than me!” Carey and Cannon are the parents of twins Monroe and Moroccan, who they welcomed in 2011, three years after their wedding.
The couple divorced in 2016 and since then Cannon has fathered 10 more children with five different women: sons Golden Sagon and Rise Messiah and daughter Powerful Queen with Brittany Bell, twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir and daughter Beautiful Zeppelin with Abby De La Rosa, son Legendary Love with Bre Tiesi, daughter Onyx Ice Cole with LaNisha Cole and two more with Alyssa Scott, daughter Halo Marie and son Zen, who died at five-months-old in 2021 from brain cancer.
Cannon recently opened up about fathering a dozen children on The Breakfast Club, where he spoke about his mental health journey and admitted to dealing with trauma after his split with Carey. When co-host Charlamagne the God asked if having 12 children was a response to that trauma, Cannon said it was.
“I’m learning that now, and it wasn’t like I was acting out,” Cannon said. “It was more of being careless, being frivolous with my process, because I could do it, because I had the money, because I had the access to whoever and however I wanted to move. Opposed to doing a mature thing and saying, ‘Hey, well, it probably makes more sense to do this.’ And then, obviously, life happens as well. So it wasn’t like, ‘Well, I’m gonna go have 12 kids.’ It was more about, like, ‘Yo, I’mma just live life and have fun and whatever happens, happens, I can handle it.’”
Now 45, Cannon said if he had thought things through a bit more and taken some time to work on himself, “things might’ve been a little different in certain scenarios.”

Miley Cyrus brings the big screen drama on “Dream As One,” the singer’s just-released single from director James Cameron’s anticipated sequel Avatar: Fire and Ash. The soaring, emotional ballad was co-written by Cyrus, Mark Ronson, Andrew Wyatt and the film’s soundtrack composer, Simon Franglen, and in a tweet announcing its release on Friday morning (Nov. 14), Cyrus wrote, “Writing this song with Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt came straight from the heart. Every lyric remembers where we’ve been, reflects where we are, and holds hope for what’s ahead for all of us. It was an honor to create something so personal for a film that connects so deeply with people around the world.”
The passion and emotion she conjured for the third chapter in the eye-popping sci-fi series comes through from the very first lines of the song that will play over the end credits of the film: “Our love will never fade away/ We’re diamonds in the dark/ I put my head against your chest/ And listen to your heart,” Cyrus croons over a pulsing piano line.
And then she leans into the heart-tugging chorus of the song she also co-produced along with Wyatt and Ronson. “Even through the pain/ Even through the ashes in the sky/ Baby when we dream, we dream as one.”
Last month Cyrus teased the song in an Instagram while revealing her very personal connection to the lyrics and themes. “Having been personally affected by fire and being rebuilt from the ashes, this project holds profound meaning for me,” said the singer, whose Malibu home was destroyed in the 2018 Woolsey Fire in Los Angeles. “Thank you, Jim, for the opportunity to turn that experience into musical medicine. The film’s themes of unity, healing, and love resonate deeply within my soul, and to be even a small star in the universe the Avatar family has created is truly a dream come true.”
Not for nothing, but given her co-writers’ awards pedigree, Cyrus could end up on some hardware lists next year. Wyatt and Ronson shared the Academy Award for best original song for their work with Lady Gaga and Anthony Rossomando on the A Star Is Born single “Shallow” in 2019; they also won the best song written for visual media Grammy Award that year. Wyatt and Ronson were also nominated for a best original song Oscar in 2024 for the Barbie tune “I’m Just Ken.”
Cyrus knows her way around a rousing soundtrack song herself, having contributed the Golden Globe-nominated “Beautiful That Way” to 2024’s The Last Showgirl.
Avatar: Fire and Ash, the sequel to 2022’s Avatar: The Way of Water, will hit theaters in the U.S. on Dec. 19

After a meteoric rise, and a years-long break to recalibrate and recover, Lewis Capaldi is very much back. Surviving, thriving.
Today, Nov. 14, the Scottish singer and songwriter returns with the four-track Survive EP, led by the title track, a song that addresses his ordeals with illness and life in the spotlight.
Survive is the followup to the 2023 LP Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent, which was sent to No. 1 in the U.K. for three weeks and spawned three U.K. chart-leading singles in “Pointless,” “Wish You The Best” and “Forget Me”.

Capaldi’s debut album from 2019, Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent, propelled him to superstar status. Along the way, it collected 10 weeks at No. 1 in the U.K., where it was confirmed as the biggest selling U.K album for both 2019 and 2020, and yielded “Someone You Loved,” a No. 1 smash on both sides of the Atlantic, and around the globe.
In November 2022, Lewis was crowned by the Official Charts Company as the “king of streaming” as “Someone You Loved had overtaken Ed Sheeran’s “Shape Of You” as the U.K.’s most streamed song in history.
It hasn’t all been fun and games.
The following year welcomed the global Netflix release of Lewis Capaldi: How I’m Feeling Now, a Grammy Award-nominated documentary, and saw Capaldi step away from the spotlight to focus on his physical and mental health. He made a roaring return with a surprise set at Glastonbury Festival 2025, followed by the release of “Survive.”
With his comeback, he “wanted to have a song come out that wasn’t… a lot of my music is woe is me, and a bit boo-hoo, and sad,” he told ABC News’ Stephanie Ramos in July. “I wanted something that was less pathetic. Let’s put it that way. I wanted to have something that was more triumphant than previous offerings. This one is about getting through stuff, surviving.”
Expect to hear the new song, and those modern-day classics, when he makes the long haul for arena shows in New Zealand later this month, and early December, his first visit to Australasia since Falls Festival in 2019/20, and his Auckland Town Hall performance in 2019. Australia dates will follow, all of which are sold out.

Time flies at a frightening pace. Need a reminder? 5 Seconds of Summer’s self-titled debut is more than a decade old.
Those four, fresh-faced Sydney lads dropped 5 Seconds of Summer back in 2014, the first in a streak of three No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200. After Sounds Good Feels Good (2015), and Youngblood (2018) went to the penthouse, 5SOS etched their name in the record books, as the first Australian act with three No. 1 albums on the all-genres weekly chart and the only band (not vocal group) to have their first three studio albums debut at the top.
5 Seconds of Summer is still hot. High school mates Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford, Calum Hood and Ashton Irwin return today (Nov. 14) with the release of Everyone’s A Star! (via Republic Records), 5SOS’ sixth studio album.

Recorded in Los Angeles and Nashville, the new record, with its bright, uptempo vibe, was built “from a really genuine place,” reads a statement from the band. “We weren’t chasing a sound or a trend, we were chasing what felt exciting to us. Every track feels alive in a way that reminds us of why we started making music in the first place. Everyone’s A Star! is the most ‘us’ we’ve ever sounded, and we’re so proud to share it with everyone who’s been part of this journey.”
An extensive list of producers and collaborators joined in for the ride, including Jason Evigan (Maroon 5, Benson Boone, Papa Roach, Rüfüs Du Sol), Julian Bunetta and John Ryan (Sabrina Carpenter, Teddy Swims), and director Frank Borin, who helmed the music video for “Telephone Busy,” which also arrives today.
Speaking with Billboard, Hemmings said the new collection was like a “180 [degree] flip” from their “introspective… ethereal” self-titled 2022 studio album. Every time they’d soak up something “crazy or different” in the studio, they went for it. “It feels like our best work and it feels like every album before has been leading up to it.”
The Aussies will kick off their Everyone’s A Star! Tour in March 2026, initially with dates in the U.K. and Ireland, then weeks-long run across the European continent. U.S. concerts will follow in May, and include two shows at New York’s Madison Square Garden, June 13 and 14.
Career album sales, according to Republic, top 18 million, with over 10 billion streams, and more than six million tickets shifted worldwide. 5SOS has landed 15 songs on the Billboard Hot 100, with a best of No. 7 for 2018’s “Youngblood.” All told, six 5SOS titles have cracked the top 10 on the Billboard 200, including those three leaders.

As Swift’s latest album completes its sixth week atop the national albums tally, published Friday, Nov. 14, Paul Kelly bags the top new release with Seventy (EMI), his 28th studio album. Seventy opens at No. 2 on the ARIA Chart.
The 70-year-old Kelly is one of Australia’s most-cherished singer-songwriters, boasting a collection of 16 ARIA Awards, induction into the ARIA Hall of Fame (in 1997), and four No. 1 albums with Life Is Fine (No. 1 for one week in 2017), Nature (one week in 2018), Songs From The South: 1985-2019 (one week in 2019), and Paul Kelly’s Christmas Train (one week in 2022).
Homegrown pop-punk band Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers makes a glorious top ten debut, with GLORY (Community Music), their second studio album. Hailing from Canberra, the four-piece snagged the Michael Gudinski Breakthrough Artist award at the 2024 ARIA Awards, after opening the ceremony with a performance, and cracked the ARIA top 10 with 2023’s I Love You (peaking at No. 6).
Spanish superstar Rosalia makes her first top 50 in Australia with Lux (Columbia/Sony), new at No. 15. Lux is already a hit, everywhere. Following its release, the collection accumulated 42.1 million streams in its first 24 hours, the biggest global tally by a female, Spanish-speaking artist.
Meanwhile, veteran Australian country artist James Blundell nabs a top 40 entry with Patience Wins (AMB/MGM), his 12th studio album. It’s new at No. 25.
Western Australia singer-songwriter Stella Donnelly grabs her third top 40 appearance with Love and Fortune (DOT/RMT), new at No. 31. Donnelly previously made a mark with 2019’s Beware Of The Dogs (No. 15) and 2022’s Flood (No. 29).
Close behind is beloved punk rock act Cosmic Psychos with I Really Like Beer (RKT), pouring in a No. 32, while fellow Melburnians Icecream Hands crack the top 40 with the independently-released Giant Fox Pineapple Tree, new at No. 38, It’s the eighth album from the Aussie power pop band, and their first ARIA top 50 appearance.
Over on the ARIA Singles Chart, Taylor Swift ties a personal best as “The Fate Of Ophelia” enters its sixth week at No. 1. That effort draws level with 2022’s “Anti-Hero” as TayTay’s longest-running leader.
U.K. act Haven has the top debut with the viral number “I Run,” new at No. 8. It’s the only new release in the top 50. And finally, Tame Impala has, once again, the only appearance by an Australian artist on the chart, as “Dracula” (Columbia/Sony) improves 37-34, a new high.
