Music News with James Blunt, Bebe Rexha and Lindsay Lohan

JAMES BLUNT ANNOUNCES ‘ONCE UPON A MIND’ ALBUM: James Blunt has announced his new album “Once Upon a Mind” will be released on October 25th and is available for pre-order now. “I think this is the most honest album I have ever made,” he says, comparing the new record to his debut, Back to Bedlam. “Back to Bedlam was similar in that I had been writing those songs for a while about my life experiences at that time, and they came together on my debut,” he explains. “And every song on this album represents something that I’m currently going through or have recently experienced.” James, who’s now a married father, adds, “It’s a very personal record, and I’m proud I can share it.” James has released the first offering from the new album, a song called “Cold.”

Taking to social media earlier this month, she made it clear this wouldn’t be an official single. “Just a treat,” she assured. Bebe is currently on the road as the opening act on the Jonas Brothers’ Happiness Begins Tour.

LINDSAY LOHAN TEASES NEW SONG ‘XANAX’: Lindsay Lohan is teasing fans with a new track called “Xanax.” The preview of the song premiered on The Kris Fade Show on Virgin Radio Dubai on Wednesday. “Xanax” is “set to be released very, very soon,” and is about “anxiety and pressure and just taking care of yourself,” host Kris Fade explained. “And I think that’s really, really cool. I think there’s a really cool message behind it.” In the 30-second teaser, Lindsay sings, “Would you like to sit next to me? When you kiss me, I can’t breathe. I try to stay away from you, but you get me high. Only person in this town that I like. Guess I can take one more trip for the night – just for the night.” This marks Lindsay’s first new music since her 2008 single “Bossy.” Lohan is set to be a judge on the Australian version of The Masked Singer.
