Meghan Trainor Announces Album Release Date 'For Realz This Time'

Meghan Trainor took to social media to announce that her third album, Treat Myself, will be out on January 31.

"I got to announce the OFFICIAL release date of my album Treat Myself exclusively on @theellenshow today!!!" the pop star wrote on Instagram. "We've worked so hard to bring this album to life and I cannot wait to finally share it with the world...for realz this time."

Trainor, who has already released the album's lead single, "No Excuses," promo tracks "Let You Be Right," "Can't Dance," and "All The Ways," and the title track, first spoke about the project in 2018.

The album has since seen several delays, with release dates getting shifted once too often.

Trainor sought to comfort her fans by releasing a 6-track EP, The Love Train, in February.

In September, she unveiled the Mike Sabath-assisted "Wave" as the album's official second single, seemingly scrapping the songs that preceded it -- besides "No Excuses" -- from the LP's track list.

It looks very likely that a Sasha Sloan and Lennon Stella collab, "Workin' On It", will be part of the upcoming album, although there are doubts about the dance-pop jam "Genetics" making it to the list.

Prince's Estate Shares Previously Unreleased 'Don't Let Him Fool Ya'

Prince's estate, in partnership with Warner Records, dropped previously unreleased track "Don't Let Him Fool Ya" from the super deluxe edition of 1999.

The 1999 deluxe edition package, which is set for release on November 29, consists of a rare concert DVD, handwritten lyrics, and several previously unreleased tracks.

The Prince Estate and Warner Records announced the release of "Don't Let Him Fool Ya" on Twitter.

The song was recorded in the summer of 1982 at Prince's home studio in Chanhassen, Minnesota, with recording engineer Don Batts.

"Having a studio in his home eliminated Prince's need to delay any recording sessions, so it was easy for him to let the songs flow," says a tweet on the Prince Estate's Twitter handle.

As with many of the recordings on the new super deluxe edition of 1999, which includes a total of 23 never-before-released studio tracks from Prince's legendary vault, every part on "Don't Let Him Fool Ya" was recorded by the late singer himself.
