Big Pop Week Coming: Jennifer Lopez New Single Drops Wednesday, Ariana Grande Comes on Thursday Night

Here we go with some new pop releases.

Jennifer Lopez is dropping her big comeback single on Wednesday. It’s called “Can’t Get Enough.” As I reported earlier, this is a real Frankenstein single, built in the laboratory of production masterminds. It has no fewer than 10 writing credits, including the composers of the original songs it’s based on. Crazy, huh?

Then there’s Ariana Grande. Her single. “Yes, And?” hits on Thursday night. There’s no information yet, but based on my conversation with Ariana and Max Martin recently, they’re the writers. The title sounds like a rebuke to people who wonder about Grande’s turbulent personal life. She’s quite a singer, so I hope she can show off that voice.

Why are there so few male pop singers? I don’t know. Shawn Mendes is on Twitter sledding in Canada mostly without clothing. Justin Bieber has put up pictures of himself playing golf. He just posted a photo of himself in front of instruments and said “Looking forward to next year.” Does he mean 2024 or 2025?
