TOMORROW X TOGETHER Reveal Tracklist For 4th Studio Album, ‘The Star Chapter: TOGETHER'
The news about the follow-up to 2023's full-length The Name Chapter: FREEFALL was accompanied by a three-minute album preview featuring a series of evocative, blurry images underneath a English-language voice-over in which one of the members says, 'I came back to life when you called my name. So now, I'll call your name too.' The screen then explodes in animated fireworks as the strains of the mid-tempo ballad 'Ghost Girl' bubbles up, melding into the yearning 'Take My Half' and the bouncy, uptempo 'Sunday Driver.' The clip also previews the hip-hop-inspired 'Dance With You' and 'Upside Down Kiss,' the dreamy 'Song of the Stars' and emotional 'Beautiful Strangers.'

Over the weekend, the group also dropped a three-and-a-half minute movie preview-like concept trailer that opens with news of a meteor shower playing on a cracked cellphone crammed into a birthday cake running footage of ominous mask wearing 'surveillance units' on the hunt for restricted 'gatherings beyond system jurisdiction.'
The scene then turns to birthday hat-wearing members SOOBIN, YEONJUN, BEOMGYU, TAEHYUN, and HUENINGKAI arguing at a party as the room is raided by the troops, with each man having a visceral, physical reaction to the assault that has them growing elf ears, horns wings, garlands and sporting different colored eyes. They alternately rush to help each other and tussle in the chaos to escape as the gentle ballad 'Song of the Stars' plays underneath and they swap into all-white ensembles to come to the aid of Soobin, who is caught floating in mid-air. The video ends with the message: 'Let's move on to Tomorrow Together.'
The album that will also feature the song 'Bird of Night' concludes the Star Chapter series and, according to a release, 'explores the true meaning of 'togetherness,'' with each song representing a different facet of the singers' journey together. The trap beat-driven 'Beautiful Strangers' tells an unconventional love story — focused on 'how 'I' grow stronger and more empowered through being with 'you''— via beats created by producer 'hitman' bang, as well as K-pop hitmaker Slow Rabbit.
The quintet's members were also deeply involved in the creative process, with YEONJUN helping to write lyrics for 'Upside Down Kiss' and 'Ghost Girl,' BEOMGYU adding production on 'Take My Half' and TAEHYUN working on the lyrics and composition of 'Bird of Night.'
TXT will kick off a worldwide headlining tour, ACT : TOMORROW, at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on Aug. 22-23.

Christian, ‘tradpop' music making ‘a comeback' as conservative ideals become more popular: report
Faith-based and 'traditional' pop hits are surging on the music charts this year, as noted in a recent report. Alex Warren's 'Ordinary,' 'a folksy melodramatic ballad about faith and love,' according to Semafor, was the No. 1 song in the country this week and has been on Billboard's Hot 100 for the past 20 weeks. The song's popularity isn't an oddity. Several Christian and country artists have also ranked high on the music charts this year, the report said, indicating a 'political vibe shift' in American pop music since President Donald Trump took office. It stands in stark contrast to the 2024 'brat summer' trend, embraced by former Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign, where boundary-pushing female pop stars Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan and Charli XCX dominated the music scene, Semafor reported. Christian artists Brandon Lake and Forrest Frank have also enjoyed more mainstream success. Lake's 'Hard Fought Hallelujah' is now in its 19th week on the Billboard Hot 100 and Frank's 'Your Way's Better' hit its 10th week on the chart. 'Christian music is making a serious comeback,' Billboard reported in May after the two Christian songs became the first faith-based hits in 11 years to make it on the Hot 100 chart. 4 Several Christian and country artists have ranked high on the music charts this year.

Thomas Rhett, Jelly Roll and Shaboozey also have country-pop hits topping the charts. On 'American Idol' this season, several contestants were open about their faith. The show also hosted a three-hour 'Songs of Faith' special on Easter Sunday where contestants and judges performed gospel and worship music. 4 Christian artists Brandon Lake and Forrest Frank (pictured) have also enjoyed more mainstream success. Getty Images Pop music seems to be reflecting a broader cultural shift toward traditional and conservative ideals, Semafor reported. As conservative voices and positions become more influential with Trump's return to office, companies and institutions have responded in kind by ditching Pride Month campaigns and DEI priorities, the report noted. It can also be seen in the online 'trad wife' trend, where young women embrace marriage and traditional values. 4 Lake's (right) 'Hard Fought Hallelujah' is now in its 19th week on the Billboard Hot 100. WireImage Several Gen Z women who spoke to Fox News Digital at a Turning Point USA conference this year said it was important to them to defend strong traditional values that were grounded in faith and femininity. 'Holding up values, traditional values that come from the Bible and be able to carry those throughout every aspect of life, to be able to create a foundation for yourself and your family that carries out the Lord's message,' Grace from Florida told Fox about what it means to be a conservative.

Lewis Capaldi Scores First U.K. No. 1 Since 2023 with Comeback Single ‘Survive'
Lewis Capaldi has scored his first U.K. No. 1 single since 2023 with his comeback track 'Survive.' On the Official Singles Chart dated July 4, the Scottish singer-songwriter is back at the top with his sixth chart-topping single. Capaldi previously hit the summit with 'Someone You Loved' (2018), 'Before You Go' (2019), 'Forget Me' (2022), 'Pointless' (2022), and 'Wish You The Best' (2022). More from Billboard Lewis Capaldi Announces Dates For 2025 U.K./Ireland Tour Following Triumphant Glastonbury Return: 'About Time I Got Back to Work' LL Cool J and Jazmine Sullivan Cancel Philadelphia Fest Appearances in Support of City Workers' Strike Lorde Bags First U.K. No. 1 Album With 'Virgin' The Official Charts Company reports that by shifting 68,500 chart units in its opening week (including over 4 million streams), 'Survive' surpasses Capaldi's previous 56,000-unit best, earned with 2022's 'Forget Me,' to secure the feat. Capaldi made a stunning comeback last weekend at Glastonbury Festival (June 27) with his first large live show in two years. He performed on the Pyramid Stage, returning to the place where he was forced to abandon his set following vocal issues back in 2023. Capaldi performed 'Survive' during the 30-minute set, and said that returning to 'finish' the performance was his main goal while he worked through mental health issues; a U.K. and Ireland tour is set to take place later this year. MK's collaboration with Chrystal 'Dior' holds steady at No. 2, while Sabrina Carpenter's 'Manchild' falls from the top spot to No. 3. The latter has spent two non-consecutive weeks at the summit since its release in early June. Ravyn Lenae's 'Love Me Not' continues its impressive longevity by holding firm at No. 4, and Chappell Roan's 'Pink Pony Club' closes the week at No. 5. Olivia Dean's 'Nice to Each Other' climbs to a new peak of No. 15, while PinkPantheress enjoys a post-Glasto boost for her song 'Illegal,' which rises 14 places to No. 22.

Five Attorneys Discuss Law And Fine Dining In ‘Law And The City'
'Law In The City' is a legal drama starring Lee Jong-suk and Moon Ga-young. Being an attorney in real life is not as glamorous as it is in TV dramas. That's the advice lawyer Ahn Ju-Hyeong gives a new attorney in the k-drama Law In The City. He sees the hapless newcomer trying a dramatic court move that he must have seen on TV. It's overdramatic and pointless. Ju-hyeong should know how unexciting a day in court can be. Ju-hyeong (Lee Jong-suk) has been an associate attorney for almost a decade. What he's learned over the years is that clients can't be trusted. They lie a lot which makes it hard to defend them. He's beyond disillusioned. Still, he's a good worker, meticulous and dedicated. The brightest spot in his day is having lunch with other lawyers who work in the Seokjo-dong district of Seoul. There's talkative Chang-won, played by Kang You-seok; his kind but always late co-worker Moon-jung, plyed by Ryu Hye-young; and the group's capitalist cheerleader Sang-ki, played by Im Seong-jae. Sang-ki runs a restaurant blog called Lawyer's Table. Ju-hyeong's friends tease him about the succession of blind dates he goes on. They wonder why he bothers since he never likes any of the candidates. At least they have each other. These friends meet to eat but also to complain about what's wrong in their lives. Between mountains of cases, they don't really have time to make any significant changes. When another friend stops working in the neighborhood they welcome a new attorney into the fold, the bright and optimistic Kang Hee-ji, played by Moon Ga-young. Hopefully she will fit in. There's only one problem. Hee-ji and Ju-hyeong have met. Also, she's a lot less jaded than they are. Word of warning: don't watch this drama hungry. Since the lawyers meet to try the city's best restaurant, there are plenty of close-ups of their meals and everything looks delicious. Stock up with snacks before tuning in. Law In the City is Lee Jong-suk's first drama in three years. He starred in the 2022 prison drama Big Mouth and before that he appeared in Romance Is A Bonus Book in 2019. Moon Ga-young earned acclaim earlier this year for playing a former gamer in My Dearest Nemesis. Before that she appeared in The Interest of Love, Delightfully Deceitful and True Beauty. Kang You-seok can be seen in Resident Playbook and When Life Gives You Tangerines. Ryu appeared in Gangnam B-Side and can be seen this year in Nice Guy. Baeksang Award-winning actress Yum Hye-ran also plays an important role as Kim Hyung-min, a building owner. Law In The City is directed by Park Seung-woo, who directed Adamas, Kairos and the fantasy drama W: Two Worlds Apart, which also starred Lee Jong-suk. The drama airs on
