The song, “Best I Ever Had,” off DeGraw’s upcoming fourth album, is a foot stompin’ folk ode to a very special someone.

Written by DeGraw and Martin Johnson from the band Boys Like Girls, the track is much more in your face than the singer/songwriter’s previous work.

On it he sings with a slight twang and a lot of sass, “You’re my neon gypsy, my desert rain, my Helter Skelter,” before letting this special lady know she’s the best he’s ever had.  

Though DeGraw has not announced an official release date for his upcoming album (it’s slated to come out later this year), fans can hear him try out new songs on his upcoming tour with Train and The Script. The tour kicks off in Cleveland, Ohio on July 17.

Listen to “Best I Ever Had” below.

That means he was my current age, had been married for four years, had a 3-year-old daughter and was finishing his Ph.D.

I feel like I’ve accomplished nothing compared to him.

Maybe critics of my generation are right when they say we don’t act like adults and don’t know what sacrifice means.

I feel like nearly everything I’ve done has been for selfish reasons and not for the betterment of generations to follow.

Where did I go wrong?

Perhaps I’ve been so obsessed with my own success that I think I forgot the reason why I had a thirst for it to begin with; to share it with my own family.

Am I being too hard on myself? I need your advice.

The crooner co-penned Beyonce’s 2007 hit “Irreplaceable,” and is now speaking out on his latest work with Bey for her upcoming fifth studio album, expected this year.

“I’m still putting stuff together for Beyonce’s album,” he told Billboard. “They’re still trying to figure out what they want that to be, which I’m not mad at.”

Bey has reportedly been working on the record since last summer when she met with the likes of Ryan Tedder, The-Dream and Sia in the Hamptons to collaborate on potential album material. While the effort is months in the making and remains unscheduled for release, Ne-Yo says it will be worth the wait.

“Beyonce’s the kind of artist where you’re not gonna see it till it’s right,” he said in the interview. “And her fans — they love her so they’ll be patient.”

No official single has been released, but fans have had a taste of what to expect with new tracks appearing in recent Pepsi and H&M commercials, along with a contribution to animated movie Epic‘s soundtrack, “Rise Up.”

Since its release over a month ago, the song—co-written by fun.’s Jack Antonoff—has found its way into the LGBT community and deeply resonated, thanks to its encouraging message. Toss in a shout-out from George Takei, and the song is practically an anthem. However, all the love for “Brave” has surprised Bareilles.

“The messaging of the song felt anthemic to me personally,” Bareilles told Radio.com about the track, which she wrote not only for her friend, but also as a way to address her own demons. “But I didn’t really realize that it was going to connect in the way that it did, and it’s really amazing to watch this song sort of take on a life of its own.”

On her recent solo tour, Bareilles asked fans to share some of their bravest moments by writing them down on a postcard that she would feature on her website. “It’s not like people were writing, ‘I’m brave enough to win the basketball game,’” she explained. “It was like, ‘I’m brave enough to tell my family who I really am.’”

The stories that were shared actually inspired Bareilles to turn her “Brave Enough” postcards into an initiative. She hopes to get the concept into schools in the next year.

“It’s a really reflective process to look at your fears in that way,” Bareilles said. “And what I like about the concept of brave is that it’s not about the outcome. It’s about the intention of turning to face what scares you.”

This is something she believes our country needs to do when it comes to the issue of gay marriage, particularly as the Supreme Court prepares to make a decision on two high profile same-sex marriage cases. The first is the decision on overturning Proposition 8, California’s 2008 constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. The other is whether the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA)–the 1996 law that restricts federal marriage benefits be given to only heterosexual couples–should be ruled unconstitutional. The decisions are slated to come by the end of June, and could arrive as soon as this week.

“I think for me this has always been a human rights issue and I feel embarrassed that we’re still having these conversations in 2013,” she said. “I understand why [the issue] is complicated, but to me its such an obvious development that just has to happen.”

The singer debuted her new single, “Woman’s World,” off her upcoming album Closer To The Truth (out September 24). The upcoming release will be her first in 12 years.

Wearing a neon pink faux-hawk wig that many thought was actually a bird, Cher strutted her stuff in a bondage-style bustier and skinny, skinny leggings as she sang her heart out for the ladies.

Strobe lights pulsated along to the song’s electronic beats as a team of female back-up dancers helped add a little energy to the performance. Watch the clip below.

The performance wasn’t without its hiccups; Cher seemed a little off tempo while singing the chorus. Even the singer took to Twitter to address some of the technical problems on the song.

Just btwn us I was nervous.My Throats been sore,think it’s allergies. Last night, may not have been Best Tech performance,but My💓was in it — Cher (@cher) June 19, 2013

No matter its problems though, the song, written and produced by Paul Oakenfield, is bound to be a hit in the clubs, picking up where Cher’s 1998 mega-hit single “Believe” left off.

But the night was certainly not all about Cher; it was about crowning the season 4 winner.

No judging here though. Like Miley says on her latest single, we’ll leave that to a higher power.

In the clip for “We Can’t Stop” Cyrus tries her best to make you forget about her Hannah Montana days. She twerks it in skintight white leggings and a matching crop top. She also does a little advertising for Beats By Dre (she’s a fan of the orange Pill portable speakers) and EOS chapsticks. She French kisses a life-size Barbie doll version of herself. And breaks a piñata full of hot dogs and hamburgers. Basically, she’s just being Miley.

Hanson performed a career-spanning, two-hour set during their June 17th birthday show, just one of two nights spent celebrating at NYC’s Irving Plaza. While older tracks like monster hit “MMMBop” and “Lucy” off 1997′s Middle of Nowhere received the most screams, don’t count out 2000′s “This Time Around” and current single “Get The Girl Back” — they were close contenders.

Before Hanson took the stage, tracks from their new album Anthem were played on the speakers and many in the crowd already knew all the words, though the record’s official release date was the following day. The Hanson brothers — Isaac, Taylor, and Zac — told Radio.com that their latest release was aptly titled. Watch our video interview below.
