PENTATONIX DROP COVER OF SIMON & GARFUNKEL’S ‘THE SOUND OF SILENCE’: Pentatonix have dropped their cover of “The Sound of Silence” by Simon & Garfunkel. The group’s version of the folk duo’s classic 1965 hit – which spent two weeks at No 1. on the Billboard Hot 100 – kicks off quietly, with Scott Hoying, Mitch Grassi, Matt Sallee and Kirsten Maldonado trading lead vocals as the song steadily builds with the help of the quintet’s signature five-part harmonies.

CXLOE UNVEILS NEW SONG ‘I CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS’: Australian rising artist CXLOE’s new single “I Can’t Have Nice Things,” is out now. On the track, an adult CXLOE has a conversation with her inner child about sabotaging things in her life, with the title phrase embodying both literal and metaphorical qualities that relate to her life today. “When I was younger, I was never given precious or breakable items as I would always end up dropping or damaging them,” CXLOE tells Billboard. “This has transferred into all elements of my adult life. Relationships, family, friends, career. I always seem to find a way to sabotage things in my life that usually mean the most to me. Through this, I quickly learned the very valuable lessons that I simply cant have nice things.” The new single comes ahead of Maroon 5’s Red Pill Blues world tour, where CXLOE is set to perform as a special guest on the Australian leg.
