Image Size landscape-medium Key Takeaways: Latto shared her thoughts on possibly reconciling with Nicki Minaj during a “Watch What Happens Live” appearance. She confirmed that her team and Ice Spice’s team worked things out behind the scenes. The past feud with Nicki Minaj stemmed from Grammy category disputes and a public social media fallout in 2022. Latto and Nicki Minaj aren’t on the best of terms at the moment,…
Zach Bryan is teasing a scorcher of a new song with sentiments that are anti-ICE and anti-[gestures vaguely at the state of America], including provocative lyrics such as, “I’ve got some bad news/ The fading of the red, white, and blue.” Bryan posted a relatively raw audio snippet over the weekend with an eight-word caption: “the fading of the red white and blue.” “ICE is gonna come bust down your door,” leads to imagery of children “all scared and all alone,” plus police officers described as “cocky motherfuckers, ain’t they?” There is no indication of whether a finished version will…
Tori Amos has announced her new album, In Times of Dragons, set for release in Spring 2026 via Fontana. She has also confirmed a supporting tour of the UK and Europe. A press release describes In Times of Dragons, Amos’ 18th studio album, as “presenting a powerful journey of resilience and awakening where the pursuit of freedom meets forces that seek to control and silence.” Get Tori Amos Tickets Here “In Times of Dragons is a metaphorical story about the fight for Democracy over Tyranny, reflecting the current abhorrent non accidental burning down of democracy in real time by the ‘Dictator…
Unwind Project, the moniker of Dutch producer & bass player Patrick Canal, just unveiled his debut album, and you’re in for quite the ride! Out via Radio Juicy, Lovers on the Edge of Tomorrow sounds like a movie title but it’s, in fact, a stellar journey through jazz, beats & jazztronica. It tells a story of memory & emotions, crafted as Patrick’s personal soundtrack to his inner world. He elaborates, “Ever since I started making music I’ve always felt the need to connect my songs to a scene from a video, film, or montage. For some reason I’ve always tied…
On his new project with emil A Murder of Crows, Mick Jenkins sounds reinvigorated, channeling both raw passion and emotional vulnerability. The last body of work to wholly grip me from Mick Jenkins was his 2016 debut The Healing Component, and in some ways A Murder of Crows is quite reminicent of his older works. A track that stood out for me here was the emotionally heavy “DeadStock” – a listening experience where he pulls the curtain back and lays out his flaws and struggles in such a poetic manner. The soulful, jazz-influenced instrumental certainly complements the themes we’re welcome…
Given his current releases, it feels like only a matter of time before Jaime Rosso cements his place as a standout voice in the world of electronic music. I initially discovered the UK-based producer and singer from his debut release “Away” – a quirky, warm, and romantic release brought to life by it’s groove and vocals. On his newest release “Frames”, Jamie Rosso showcases a bit more of a moody, melancholic vibe by virtue of his vocal delivery while maintaining the quirks of his signature sound through compelling sampling. The rhythm section is colored with a ton of interesting textures…
Taylor Swift’s new music video for “The Fate of Ophelia” made its official premiere in movie theaters as part of the weirdly reverential The Official Release Party of a Showgirl. But now, you can see her full vision for the leadoff track from The Life of a Showgirl on YouTube, accompanied by 11 lyric videos for the album’s remaining songs. The music video, written and directed by Swift (it says so in big letters at the end) showcases Swift embodying “showgirl” personas from across various points in history, including a pirate wench, a star of Busby Berkeley-esque musicals, and more…
The past feels very present for Paul McCartney — at least in the way he talked on stage about those he’s lost during the Las Vegas stop on his “Got Back” tour. “Let’s hear it for John,” he said the first time he mentioned the late John Lennon, like Lennon was waiting in the wings, about to come out and duet with him. “Let’s hear it for George” came as he swapped a guitar for the ukulele George Harrison once gave him, which he then used to plink out a stripped-down version of “Something.” That ukulele performance of “Something” represented…
Bad Bunny used his opening monologue on SNL’s Season 51 premiere to fire back at critics of the NFL’s decision to book him for the Super Bowl LX halftime show — particularly those at Fox News. “I’m very happy. And I think everyone is happy about it — even Fox News,” Bad Bunny said, before cutting to a Fox News clip montage edited to make its anchors appear to say, “Bad Bunny is my favorite musician, and he should be the next president.” Bad Bunny proceeded to deliver several remarks in Spanish, thanking “Latinos and Latinas in the world here…
It’s Sunday and now we’re talking. Finally, a proper afternoon head bop session soundtrack, courtesy of Hamburg-based producer, beatmaker, and record collector Will B. Heard who channels the soul of hip hop’s Golden Era into a sound that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly alive. The type of beat that I rarely find these days. Blending vintage warmth with modern precision, Will builds his beats using classic drum machines like the E-mu SP-12 and Akai S900, crafting a sonic texture that feels raw and timeless. Today we get to get a first taste of his upcoming album This Is Me thanks…
