There were quite a few new releases not only today, but earlier this week as well.
The biggest new music comes from Chilling Adventures of Sabrina star Gavin Leatherwood, who just released his debut single “Just For Tonight,” which will be on his upcoming album. For his music, Gavin is just going by his last name, Leatherwood.
Also new this week are brand new music videos from former Disney stars Laura Marano and Selena Gomez. Laura released her “Something To Believe In” video, which featured the use of ASL.
Selena premiered her alternate video for “Baila Conmigo” with Rauw Alejandro at the 2021 Premio Lo Nuestro event, which drew many fans to be upset. Find out why on Just Jared!
The 20-year-old TikTok star and musician opened up about the impact that Bieber‘s movie had on him.
“I watched it with my family, and I remember I was an emotional kid anyway, so me crying because of some of the scenes wasn’t a big deal, but I definitely shed a tear,” Jaden told Radio.com. “It struck a chord in me. It wasn’t a big, life changing moment but it definitely planted a seed inside of me that I know for sure sprouted into what I am today.”
He then revealed the even closer connection he now has to Justin.
“Now I work with people that are so intertwined and connected with JB, that it’s super cool to see how God and life has just worked out for me,†he said. “That’s how I know I’m in the place I need to be in, because that’s just so uncoincidental.â€
Speaking of collabs and remixes, MAX also dropped a new “Blueberry Eyes” remix, which features original collaborator SUGA, as well as Lil Mosey and Olivia O’Brien.
We also have brand new songs from PRETTYMUCH and Ryan McCartan. In addition to the new song “Stars,” PM announced their new EP Smackables, out NEXT Friday (January 29).
Ryan‘s new song “Politician” is a super personal one for him. See what he said about the multiple meanings of the song!
Jaden Hossler is opening up about his battles with depression.
In a recent interview, the 19-year-old singer and TikTok star recently shared about his experiences.
“This is one thing I try to preach to other people because I’ve learned it myself. Pain is a very important thing for people,” he told Forbes. “A lot of people try to run from it. I did for most of my life, but you can’t escape pain. What you can do is choose how you let it affect you. You can either let it destroy you or you can let it change you and help you become a better person.”
“To my experience there was a lot of hate in my heart growing up. I went through a lot of things that drove me to hate myself and everyone around me,” Jaden continued. “I didn’t have appreciation for human life or anything like that. And then my senior year a situation happened with a very close person in my life that drove me to the darkest depression I’ve ever had in my life.”
“I was really involved in school and in sports and my senior year I just dropped it all. I didn’t go to school for like four months. I didn’t even really leave my room. I lost like 20, 25 pounds, tried to commit suicide like twice. I really just didn’t have any grasp at life,” Jaden said. “But after that last attempt and it just didn’t work it really brought me out of this selfishness that I really just kind of surrounded myself with. Everything I was doing at that point was for myself and after that, one, I vowed to myself I would never lie. Before I lived off of lies and manipulation. I stopped lying, which people are scared about not lying because it could hurt you in the moment.”
“But I promise it’s so much better in the end if you’ll just be honest to yourself and other people. Then two, I just started loving people.”
The 19-year-old TikTok star dropped the song on Thursday (July 16) with the Blink-182 drummer on the drums, of course.
If you didn’t know, Jaden is actually the first artist signed to Travis‘ label DTA Records!
jxdn also teased the music video for the song, which sees him in a quintessential high school experience in the vein of cult-classic films like 10 Things I Hate About You, She’s All That and Grease, with surprise cameos from other TikTok stars throughout.
After posting on Instagram that if he got 100k comments, he would release the video, fans and friends flooded the comment section and easily got to 100k in just an hour.
“in an hour ?? geeeeezzzz OKAY BET stay tuned today,” Jaden wrote on Twitter afterwards, adding, “bear with ME, we are making the music video PERFECT for you guys bc i settle for nothing less, expect a video in the next couple days <33 trust me it’s worth the wait"

The 20-year-old and 19-year-old TikTok stars and members of Sway House got into a bit of trouble during part of their cross country road trip over the Memorial Day holiday weekend.
The two guys were reportedly arrested and charged with possession of marijuana, which is not legal in the state of Texas.
According to the TikTokRoom Instagram page, Bryce was charged with a misdeamoner, while Jaden‘s was more serious and charged with a felony.
Both Bryce and Jaden were released on Tuesday morning, and both updated fans that they were out and back online.
