Fresh off announcing her sixth studio album “143,” Katy Perry went live across her social media profiles to share snippets of songs off the record. The album, which arrives on September 20, is what the pop singer described as a dance album, something she’s “always wanted to make.” “I’ve been talking about [doing] two albums the past eight years and that’s a dance album and an acoustic album,” she said on Instagram Live. “I haven’t yet made the acoustic album. Well, we never stop writing. But I finally made the dance album, the album I always wanted to make. “This record is super high energy, it’s super summer, it’s very high BPM,” she continued. “We just had a family dance party to one of the songs, and it’s just full of so much joy, so much love, so much light.”While signing vinyl inserts for “143,” Perry previewed three songs from the album on both IG Live and TikTok Live. The first clip she played was for a song called “I’m His He’s Mine” featuring Doechii, constructed around a sample of Crystal Waters’ 1991 hit “Gypsy Woman (She’s Homeless).” She followed with an upbeat number entitled “Nirvana,” as well as “Gimme Gimme” featuring 21 Savage. “‘143’ is honestly a dance party,” she added on TikTok. “All fandoms, invited. And it’s high energy, lots of love, mostly lots of love and BPM, summer, sexy. And it’s for y’all.” Perry initially teased this upcoming era last month with the news that its first single, “Woman’s World,” will arrive July 11 along with a music video. Though no tour has been announced, Perry mentioned on TikTok that she cleared her schedule so she’d be able to tour in the near future.

 Crystal Waters is back. The house music icon has already formed a legacy that will live on forever, with tracks like “Gypsy Woman” and “100% Pure Love” firmly planted in our ears and on dance floors for generations to come.
Today, Waters premieres her new music video for “Dance Dance Dance” with PAPER. It’s her first video in nineteen years and serves as the initial taste of an upcoming album that will be her first project in over two decades. “We have some traditional House sounding tracks and we have some more progressive floor-stompers,” she says. “I’m also playing around with doing some covers that I’m very excited about, something a bit unexpected.” With '90s House sampling having such a renaissance right now in pop culture, it’s refreshing to have one of the genre’s OG tastemakers come back with a vengeance. “You have to remember when I started we were the bastard childs in the music industry,” she tells PAPER. “They said it wasn’t real music, just a fad that would soon pass. I’m very proud to have been a part of the scene when it all started.” The track itself, which was produced by Jovonn, is pure throwback goodness, with slinky synths and lyrics about being devoted to the dancefloor and making love 'til the sunrise. Much ofher new music was produced by DJ Spen and Thommy Davis (formerly of the Basement Boys), the duo who Waters collaborated with on all her early bangers. “These guys know me, they know my style, what I do and don’t like,” she says of the rekindled creative endeavor. The time is right for Crystal Waters’ return, and we can’t wait to see what’s coming next. https://www.papermag.com/crystal-waters-video#rebelltitem6 For booking information, contact: Marc Katz Spectrum Talent Agency, Inc Email: [email protected] Phone: 917-940-4960  PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- There's just two days until the 6abc Dunkin' Thanksgiving Day Parade and one of our favorite family singing sensations is joining us once again. The Sharpe Family Singers from New Jersey are YouTube sensations, and this year they're performing twice: at the beginning and the end of the parade. "This year, we're doing two songs," says Samantha Sharpe. "We're doing 'Go the Distance' from Disney's Hercules, and then a Christmas song from our Christmas album. We are doing 'It's Beginning to Look a Lot like Christmas.'" Mom and Dad, Ron and Barbra, met on Broadway. They have 4 kids: Samantha, Logan and twins, Aidan and Connor. They've been compared to both the Von Trapps and the Partridge Family. They have more than eight million followers on TikTok alone and they're known for their harmonies and family-friendly content. This is their second time in our parade and they say it's becoming a tradition for them. "We love Philadelphia," says Ron Sharpe. "We love coming down there." "We had so much fun going on the float and seeing all the people there," says Logan. "People were throwing us footballs and people were getting us food. Everybody was so nice. We wanted to come back!" You can see the Sharpe Family Singers at the 6abc Dunkin' Thanksgiving Day Parade at 8:30 a.m. on 6abc.
