Justin Bieber Announces New Album Justice
Justin Bieber has announced the release of a new album called Justice, which will arrive on March 19th via RBMG/Def Jam Records. Justice marks Bieber’s sixth album to date and arrives a little more than a year after its predecessor, Changes. In a statement announcing the release of Justice, Bieber said his goal was “to make music that will provide comfort; to make songs that people can relate to, and connect to, so they feel less alone.” “In a time when there’s so much wrong with this broken planet, we all crave healing – and justice – for humanity,” Bieber commented. “In creating this album, my goal is to make music that will provide comfort; to make songs that people can relate to, and connect to, so they feel less alone. Suffering, injustice and pain can leave people feeling helpless. M...
New Superman Movie Being Written by Ta-Nehisi Coates
Warner Bros. and DC Films have confirmed that a new Superman reboot is in the works from writer Ta-Nehisi Coates and J.J. Abrams, who is set to produce via his Bad Robot banner. Besides the fact that Hannah Minghella (the upcoming Cloverfield sequel and Masters of the Universe reboot) is also on board as a producer, not a thing is known about this new Superman movie. That includes how it will tie into the existing DC Extended Universe or whether Henry Cavill, who played Clark Kent/Kal-El in Zack Snyder’s DCEU trilogy and the upcoming Zack Snyder’s Justice League, will return to the role. We know he’s keen to do so, but we’ve also heard DC and Abrams had spoken to Michael B. Jordan about potentially putting on the cape. In fact, The Hollywood Reporter writer Borys Kit tweeted that sour...
Tom & Jerry Is Just a Lazy Brand Exercise: Review
The Pitch: Did you read that Vulture interview with David Fincher where he described Alien 3 as making “a library title for a multinational, vertically integrated media conglomerate”? And you know how Scorsese reasonably tsk-tsked the usage of the word “content” because of how media companies and journalists have been using that condescending term to describe works of art? Ladies and gentlemen, here’s the latest piece of content for vertically integrated media conglomerate WarnerMedia’s library, Tom & Jerry. Yes, Tom & Jerry 2021 arrives this weekend on HBO Max, and answers the age-old question of what a Tom and Jerry ‘toon would be like today, and whether they could fight to Eric B. & Rakim’s “Don’t Sweat the Technique”. The Short, Short, Short of It: Your kids will probably l...

First Spin: The Week’s Best New Dance Tracks From Carnage, Joel Corry & David Guetta, Pusher, More
Carnage & Gordo, “KTM” After sharing a mellower side to his music with the Martinez Brothers collaboration “Together” last August, Carnage (alongside his Gordo alias) is ready to rage once more with new single “KTM.” Shifting gears to party-hard tech house, the Guatemalan producer jumps on the mic to name-drop a cocktail of party drugs over a grinding bass line, scuffling metallic synths and a build/release sequence that evokes images of CO2 cannon blasts and liquor hurled across the dance floor through sheer force of ecstasy. It’s the kind of track that in almost any other year could be a surprise highlight of Miami Music Week, and though officially released Friday, “KTM” has been something of a long-kept secret weapon within tight DJ circles, with A-Trak and Diplo both having rinsed ...
Taylor Swift Officially Cancels Lover Fest Concerts
Originally announced in the fall of 2019, following the release of her seventh studio album Lover, Lover Fest included 12 dates across the globe, including two-night stints in Southern California — set to be the first-ever concert at Inglewood’s SoFi Stadium — and outside Boston, at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass. She was also set to headline England’s Glastonbury Festival before its March 2020 cancellation due to COVID-19. Some other dates were also canceled due to the pandemic, and in April, Swift officially postponed six of the dates (including two in Sao Paulo, Brazil) until 2021. Now she has officially canceled all dates. Since the Lover Fest concerts were originally announced, Swift has released two more albums: 2020’s Folklore and Evermore. I...

“Eleventeen”, the debut solo album from late OZZY OSBOURNE and URIAH HEEP drummer Lee Kerslake, has just received a posthumous release via HNE Recordings, the hard rock and heavy metal arm of Cherry Red Records. “Eleventeen” is a collection of eight songs, seven of them written or co-written by Lee. Lee offers notes and insights for each track, saying “Take Nothing For Granted” “is based around my wife and then some,” evidently with tongue firmly in cheek. Elsewhere, “Where Do We Go From Here”, according to Lee, is about how “ot’s all too late to realize… where do we go from here? I’ve had to many argumentative girls in my life!!!” “You May Be By Yourself (But You’re Never Alone)” was writ...

According to The Republic reporter Jordan Morey, Jon Schaffer is still awaiting extradition extradition to Washington D.C., five weeks after U.S. Magistrate for the Southern District of Indiana judge Mark Dinsmore signed an order for the ICED EARTH guitarist to appear in D.C.’s district court. Indianapolis law enforcement confirmed Schaffer was still being held by the U.S. Marshal Service at the Marion County Jail on Thursday (February 25).
