Celine Dion cancels all remaining shows including Tacoma, Portland concerts over a undisclosed injury. What’s wrong?  It’s been vaguely reported the singer is suffering from muscle spasms for a period of time. Celine briefly said the ongoing injury prevailed because she never took the proper rest.

“I was really hoping that I’d be good to go by now, but I suppose I just have to be more patient and follow the regimen that my doctors are prescribing. There’s a lot of organizing and preparation that goes into our shows, and so we have to make decisions today which will affect the plans two months down the road,” Dion said in a post on her website.

Kings favorite Ben Provencial just dropped Love For You Today, the first song of the year. I can hear this on Spotify’s Broken Heart Playlist.

The Atlanta bedroom songwriter say this, “Love You For Today’ was written about cherishing a romantic moment even when the relationship was never built to last. ”

Ben first made waves with the song “Not Alright” in 2020. It did well for him, garnering nearly a half million Spotify streams, landing on Spotify’s Fresh Finds. He has a upcoming live performance at Hotel Cafe in LA on 1/18.

Look out for Zach Hood and the mid tempo track I Miss My Friends. Although we are only 3 weeks in, the song has become my favorite this year.

The 20-year-old Alabama artist has quietly garnered 70+ million streams across his first six singles, landed on Spotify’s Pop Rising, Radar US & and held a spot on the Global Viral 50 chart.

Zach says, “I definitely feel like this is one of my most relatable songs yet – if not my most relatable – because kids my age are all going off to college and different places typically away from what they know. It’s one that really hits home for me,” Hood explained. “I not only had to go straight from high school into the real world, but I had to do it in Los Angeles – one of the strangest & loneliest cities in the world because virtually everyone is trying to ‘make it.’ I miss my friends, I miss home. It’s that simple.”
