IBTimes UK senior entertainment reporter Alicia Adejobi rounds up this week's music stories.
In this week's Music Minute: Iggy Azalea confirms her album is ready for release, DJ Khaled prepares to drop his new album Major Key and Justin Bieber teams up with Major Lazer for Cold Water.
Iggy Azelea completes Digital Distortion album
Iggy Azalea is expected to finally release her second album in August. Digital Distortion has suffered a number of delays and setbacks, but Iggy confirms that the project is finished. It'll be worth the long wait as the rapper has reportedly collaborated with the all-conquering Drake and EDM producer Zedd.
Addressing the album's delay, Azalea told Las Vegas Weekly: "I've been blindsided by a lot of things happening in my personal life recently. I just needed to have some time to get my life in order and process the changes that are happening in my private life."
DJ Khaled releases Major Key album
More album news for you as Snapchat king DJ Khaled is set to drop his long-anticipated ninth album Major Key. Featuring guest appearances from Jay Z, Future, Kendrick Lamar, Drake, J Cole, Bryson Tiller and Nas, to name but a few, it's shaping up to be one of the hottest releases of 2016. Khaled does have an incredibly popular following, but does he have the power to end Drake's 11-week reign with Views on the Billboard 200 chart?
Single of the week
And lastly, if you need to update your playlist, then Justin Bieber has an absolute summer banger for you. Cold Water, a collaboration with Major Lazer and MO, was co-written by Ed Sheeran and produced by Benny Blanco. It only took a few hours for the song to top the iTunes chart, so it's definitely one to watch.
