US-UK MUSIC RACE SEPTEMBER: WAR OF THE GODDESSES

This coming September will mark the arrival of the most popular European and American artists today on the music circuit, notably Nicki Minaj, Doja Cat, Olivia Rodrigo, Kylie Minogue or Demi Lovato.

Nicki Minaj – Single “Last Time I Saw You” (9/1)

“Last Time I Saw You” was first teased on Nicki Minaj’s Instagram Live in early August, and fans couldn’t help but be excited about the new music. Facing the enthusiastic response of fans, the female rapper shared on X (formerly Twitter): “Very happy that everyone likes the lyrics. The irony is that my favorite part is the last 30 seconds. I can’t wait for you to hear the whole song.” This is a song in Nicki Minaj’s album “Pink Friday 2” expected to be released in November. “Pink Friday 2” will be her fifth studio album, and also her first since she last released an album in 2018.

This summer, the name Nicki Minaj continued to become a media focus when the song “Barbie World” (soundtrack for the movie “Barbie) performed by her and rapper Ice Spice became “viral” on social networks. Along with the influence of the movie, the song has maintained a stable stream and entered the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Doja Cat – Single “Demons” (9/1)

The first day of September will witness the direct “confrontation” of two famous female rappers today, Nicki Minaj and Doja Cat. The release of a new song on the same day as Nicki’s has raised many concerns, as Doja is said to have a less loyal fan base than her seniors. However, Cat’s potential is indisputable, because her previous album “Planet Her” made a big splash both in the market and academically. In particular, Doja Cat’s latest solo song “Paint the Town Red” is having very positive results despite her being “ostracized” by fans because of her bad attitude.

With “GUTS”, Olivia will acknowledge and explore deeper aspects of her music and spiritual life: “For me, this album is about pain and trying to find ‘me’. who is’ at this point in life. I feel like I’ve grown 10 years older in the past few years – it’s been an awkward time filled with so many changes. I hope this album reflects that.” The owner of the Golden Trumpet “Best New Artist” also said that this album will focus on sounds that have more of a rock music flavor than simple pop. The two songs on the album are “Vampire” and ““Bad Idea Right?” have been released. In particular, the album’s lead single “Vampire” won number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming the young female singer’s third single to achieve this achievement.

Demi Lovato – Album “Revamped” (September 15)

The former Disney princess has returned to the music race, but not with a completely new studio album, but a collection of her greatest hits remixed in a rock music style. Since its release, “Revamped” has received a lot of response from Demi’s fan community because they believe that the rock style helps the songs become much more excellent and perfect.

This year, Demi released 4 songs early from this album including “Heart Attack (Rock Version)”, “Cool for the Summer (Rock Version)”, “Sorry Not Sorry (Rock Version)” and most recently, “Confident (Rock Version)”. The former Disney star said: “With ‘Revamped,’ I wanted to pay homage by breathing new life into the songs that were such a hit and played such an important role in my career . Working on this project was extremely exciting and allowed me to express my passion for rock music in a new way.”
