Music listeners are waking up to a packed day of releases, notable performances, and headline industry developments. August closes out with Sabrina Carpenter’s new album Man’s Best Friend, which has quickly sparked buzz for its infectious pop hooks and introspective songwriting. Other major releases include Hayley Williams’ much-talked-about solo record Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party and Westside Gunn’s Heels Have Eyes 2, which offers an adventurous dive into alternative hip-hop. Blood Orange also delivers Essex Honey, blending R&B and electronica, while Bryan Adams returns with Roll with the Punches, a classic rock album making waves for its throwback sound. Colbie Caillat’s new LP This Time Around joins the wave of end-of-month launches, giving country pop fans a dose of fresh material.

Live music is heating up as Nickelback prepares to headline Day 2 of the “Field of Dreams” festival in Iowa tonight, electrifying the crowd at this historic venue. The festival, part of the new Velocity series by the U.S. Concert Agency and StubHub, sees Nickelback joined by Brantley Gilbert after Tim McGraw’s energetic set yesterday. According to Financial Post, this marks a significant step in multi-city branded festivals aiming to revive iconic locations with big-name acts.

In industry news, MTV is rekindling excitement for the music video format ahead of the 2025 Video Music Awards. Starting September 1, the network will air over 700 music videos, including an exclusive focus on Britney Spears’ greatest hits, signaling a nostalgic but timely turn towards visual creativity for pop fans. Meanwhile, the UK saw the inauguration of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music Guitar Workshop, reflecting ongoing efforts to foster new musical talent globally.
