Normani
Jora FrantzisNormani fans have been anxiously awaiting a follow-up to her 2021 hit single “Wild Side,” and it looks like the wait may be over at long last. On Wednesday (Feb. 23), the former Fifth Harmony member told her Twitter and TikTok followers to keep their eyes open in the coming days, as she has some important news to share regarding new music, going as far as singing a snippet of the new song.
“Announcement coming to youuuuu in the next coming days,” the 25-year-old tweeted along with a blushing emoji and a link to pre-save an untitled song on both Spotify and YouTube. She followed that up with another teasing tweet: “did you guys click the sound on my latest tiktok [side-eye emoji]”

”200 days and counting, I know you’re my favorite still/ When I say I won’t, tell myself I don’t, but I always will/ Feel the way I feel, you have time to heal, I got time to kill/ Playing my mind like…,” Normani sings a capella.
On Feb. 9, the “Motivation” singer took to her Instagram Stories and shared a handwritten note written on a piece of lined paper, asking her followers, “What do you think my next single sounds like?” Normani took the time to reply to a select few fans and shared her answers to a few guesses.
“I want your next single to sound like I’m on a cloud and I’m just drifting in your sound,” one follower wrote, to which she replied, “You’re so cuteee. This one is really unique and different for me. Probably not what everyone is expecting.” A second follower mused that the new Normani track would have a vibe similar to “Wild Side.” In response to the fan, she wrote, “Genre bending for sure. It’s just a great record,” followed by a crying emoji.
During the Instagram Q&A, Normani didn’t set a release date for her future single, though her Wednesday tweet seemingly hints that new music is arriving much sooner rather than later. “Wild Side,” which featured Cardi B for a rap verse, was released in July 2021; the track led Normani to her first No. 1 single on Billboard’s Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart.

Take That have revealed details of their upcoming album Dreamers, shared news of a fresh single titled Feel My Love, and unveiled international dates for their 2027 Dreamers Tour.
Nearly two months after completing their second Circus tour, the hugely successful trio of Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald have announced an extensive European schedule featuring over 30 concerts. They have also revealed that their tenth studio record is scheduled for release later this year.
The album’s third track, Feel My Love, will be available next Friday, September 4, 2026, and features Irish American singer and songwriter Michael Patrick Kelly.
The song comes after You’re A Superstar and Sweet July, both of which were performed throughout The Circus Live tour.
The Dreamers Tour will be Take That’s largest European run in several years, with 31 concerts scheduled across 16 countries, including Switzerland, Germany, Spain, Italy, Denmark and Ireland. The journey will open in Zurich on June 3 before concluding in Tüßling, Germany, on July 23, while additional performances are expected to be revealed. Audiences will hear songs from Dreamers alongside favourites from the group’s 30 year catalogue.
Those hoping to access tickets ahead of the public sale can preorder Dreamers beginning September 2 at 10am local time. Presales through participating venues will start on September 3, followed by the general release of tickets one day later. Complete tour information can be found at takethat.com.
The announcement of fresh music and further concerts will come as welcome news to supporters, particularly after Gary opened up about the difficult emotions he experienced following The Circus Live tour.
Speaking honestly in a video posted to Instagram, the 55 year old performer admitted that he had “fallen off a cliff” after the returning tour finished at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium on July 4.
He explained that he had spent several weeks attempting to film the message: “Whenever we come off tour, it always feels a little bit of an anti-climax… but for some reason, it just feels like I’ve completely fallen off a cliff since the end of the shows.”
Gary also reached out to anyone experiencing similar feelings after the concerts, explaining that the emotional intensity of performing appears to become stronger with every passing year.
Looking back on the happiness the tour brought, he confirmed that The Circus will not be staged for a third time because the demanding production has become too physically challenging at his age.
While hinting at what comes next, Gary said: “I got to run away with The Circus twice. Now I’m running towards our next exciting, brand-new show."
Alongside a recently released Netflix documentary offering viewers a glimpse behind the scenes, Take That’s Manchester concert during the returning Circus run became the most viewed live streamed UK performance so far after airing through Amazon Music.
