Now, as you may know that Selena Gomez teases new music, talks Max Martin and more for TIME. As you may know that Selena Gomez is on her new Album and media scrutiny: ‘I Just Don’t Care About the Noise Anymore’. According to Selena Gomez's TIME interview, is appears that MAX MARTIN on Hands to Myself: This is the greatest thing I've heard all year." Now, here's what Selena Gomez has to say during the TIME interview:
-- "The record is extremely intimate. I executive produced it. Every song means the world to me whether I wrote it or not."
-- "I know that I'm not the world's greatest singer, but I do know that I have a unique tone."
-- "The tracks are important but I needed the lyrics to be more important. That was something I told every producer"
-- "We didn't know 'Good For You' was going to do that well. It's been insane how supportive people have been with the new direction."
-- "I can't care anymore that people are going to twist my words. Everybody said every single thing they could say about me."
-- "I’ve never really known him [Max Martin]! The whole record, I’ve became family with all of my producers and Justin and Julia. It had nothing to do with me being like, “Oh my goodness, I’m too good for Max.” It was like, “I don’t know, I don’t want him to change it!” He ended up making it, obviously, a smash. I don’t even think I was questioning his ability, I was more nervous to see what it was going to be like. Once we talked, he sent all these voice memos and now we have a relationship. It’s going to grow from there."
-- "I think “Hands To Myself” is going to be great. I hope that “Kill ‘Em With Kindness” has a great effect because I love the meaning of that song so much. I want them to be surprised about it all. Everyone was surprised about “Good For You,” and now we’re moving forward."
Hands to Myself has influences from Prince & is TIME's favorite song.
Woah, talk about Max Martin working with Selena Gomez. Anyway, after Good For You peaked at number 1 on the US Mainstream Top 40 (Billboard), it's time for Selena Gomez to release another 2015 single called Same Old Love. It features uncredited vocals from Charli XCX herself. Selena Gomez was spotted filming the music video for "Same Old Love" on August 15, 2015 at downtown Los Angeles. A photo of the shooting was used as the official artwork for the single. A preview of the music video was released on September 16 during the fan exclusive "Revival Event" in Los Angeles. It was directed by Michael Haussman. Te music video was available to view on Apple Music on September 22, 2015. According to Billboard, the song peaked on the US Billboard Hot 100 at number 43 and Mainstream Top 40 at number 22. With Good For You and Same Old Love being included, let's revealed Revival's tracklist. Shall we?

It appears that there are 11 tracks for Revival and the album will come out this Friday. 2 weeks before Carrie Underwood's Storyteller. According to the tracklist, Max Martin has written and produced Hands to Myself. So I believe that Hands to Myself would be the next Revival single. Possibly after holiday 2015 or even January 2016. On October 2, Me & The Rhythm will be released as a promotional single. OK, Selena Gomez is done. Let's talk about Storyteller's tracklist revealed.
OK, let's talk about Carrie Underwood. As you may know that the music video for Smoke Break plays a sample of a song called Renegade Runaway. Renegade Runaway, to me, is more like an equivalent to a country rock version of Carly Rae Jepsen's Run Away With Me. I think MTV should air Carrie Underwood music videos including this one since MTV, the anti-country music channel, has started to get familiar with the country American Idol winner. So what Carrie Underwood does after this album is to make a pop album with deep pop-rock/dance-pop songs as Carrie Underwood's first side-project for a crossover appeal with pop. That way, pop music will get interested in the country superstar when she makes pop music. She might be different than other country stars. OK then, here's the Storyteller's tacklist.
1. Renegade Runaway
Writers: Carrie Underwood Chris DeStefano Hillary Lindsey
Producers: Jay Joyce
Length: 3:38

As you can see, there are 13 tracks on Storyteller, 2 more than what Revival's had, and I believe that the lead single, Smoke Break is number 5. In addition, it appears that Carrie Underwood is working with Liz Rose. The same writer who also worked with Taylor Swift and her first 2 albums and her singles like Tim McGraw and White Horse. Liz Rose also worked with 2012's All Too Well from Red. Anyway, the song Carrie Underwood and Liz Rose has worked on is called Like I'll Never Love You Again. I would say that Like I'll Never Love You Again is Carrie Underwood's first Liz Rose project and it might be a single next year and have Like I'll Never Love You Again released for pop radio only. Not country radio. This might be a perfect Carrie Underwood song for 2016 pop music. Pretty cool, huh? I want this to happen. I hope the hot country chick will release her kick butt "pop" album soon.
I hope you like the tracklist for Revival and Storyteller.
What do you think? Are you excited for Revival coming this Friday? Are you excited for Storyteller releasing a week after Demi Lovato's Confident released? Do you like the tracklist of the 2 upcoming pop albums? Sound off below!
