The new season will kick start with 13 episodes and has moved from an hour to a half hour offering.
The show will now feature one studio artist per episode, giving the artist an opportunity to own and take over their special episode.
Also in the mix is the introduction of two new inserts in celebration of the 15th season, like The Fan, in which aspiring musicians send in video clips performing their favorite artists' track. This is shown to the artists to record their response.
The Loyalty Rewards segment is where viewers nominate someone to receive a special performance from their favourite artist, who records a message to the nominee.
The set has been refurbished and given a more intimate feel.
