Cardi B Reveals the Sweet — and Extravagant — Surprises From Offset for Valentine’s Day
Offset also shared video of Cardi B opening up the gift in his Instagram Stories. “25k don’t play wit me,” he wrote over the clip. In a second video, Cardi — who released her latest single “Up” on Feb. 5, can be heard gushing. “Oooh! Oh oh oh! Wow! You did that? You did that for me? You did that for me!” she says as she walks into a hallway lined with boxes of red roses, and then into a room decorated with vase upon vase of more red, white and pink roses. Offset also appears briefly in the clip to confirm that he did indeed surprise his wife with an abundance of flowers. “Thank you again baby for this beautiful trip,” she captioned the video with the flowers, tagging the Migos rapper. “Your right I need to take my mind...
Bad Bunny Burns for Rosalia in Romantic ‘La Noche De Anoche’ Video: Watch
“La Noche De Anoche” is the latest single from Bad Bunny’s third studio release of 2020, El Ultimo Tour Del Mundo, which dropped in November. Bunny — born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio — previously opened up to Billboard about how his song with Rosalia came about. “We recorded separately because of COVID and our schedules. We’d been trying to work together for a while and the right opportunity hadn’t come up,” he shared at the time. “Chris Jedi sent me a track with a rhythmic base he did with Rosalía, and I thought it was cool, but I let it sit for a while. A couple of days later, I couldn’t stop singing the song.” The video for “La Noche De Anoche” wasn’t the only Bad Bunny news on Valentine’s...

Nandi Bushell Covers the Who’s ‘My Generation’ and Dedicates It to Keith Moon

Full Trailer for Zack Snyder’s Justice League Revealed: Watch
Like a Valentine’s Day gift showing love to all the fans who made this happen, HBO Max has shared the full trailer for Zack Snyder’s Justice League. Check it out below. The first preview of Zack Snyder’s director’s cut of the critically panned 2017 film actually arrived back in August, but a lot has changed since then. Most notably, Snyder convinced Warner Bros. to allow him to do reshoots, with the studio offering up a reported $40 million for additional footage. That’s on top of the $30 million they’d already allotted him to add new score from original composer Junkie XL, redo special effects and coloring (including turning Superman’s suit black), and bring to life the script’s primary antagonist, Darkseid. As if all that weren’t enough, Snyder actually added a whole new character to his...
Robert Fripp and Toyah Celebrate Valentine’s Day with “Tainted Love”: Watch
With Valentine’s Day falling on a Sunday, King Crimson founder Robert Fripp and his singer wife, Toyah Willcox, brought a little romance to their “Sunday Lunch” quarantine series. The pair performed the Soft Cell hit “Tainted Love” from their own bed, with a little sexual innuendo thrown into the visual. By Robert and Toyah standards, the performance itself was a bit tame, compared to their previous editions of “Sunday Lunch”. As Robert played “Tainted Love” on guitar while sitting against the headboard, Toyah popped up from out of the frame with her own guitar at the foot of the bed to begin singing the tune — which was made popular by Soft Cell as a synth-pop hit in 1981 after originally being recorded by Gloria Jones in 1964. Fripp’s face was covered in lipstick kisses, and his usual fo...
Sia on Shia LaBeouf Relationship: ‘I Feel Like I’m Always Gonna Love Him Because He’s Such a Sick Puppy’
Two months after revealing Shia LaBeouf “conned” her “into an adulterous relationship claiming to be single,” Sia revealed more details about her romance with the actor during an interview with The Sunday Times, saying that she and FKA Twigs both thought they were “singly dating him” when “he was still married.” “It turns out he was using the same lines on me and Twigsy, and eventually we found out because we ended up talking to one another,” Sia explained. “Both of us thought we were singly dating him. But that wasn’t the case. And he was still married.” The singer-songwriter went on to say that LaBeouf “wanted to marry me and live a sober life” together, and despite the toxicity she’ll always have a place in her heart for him. “I feel like I’m always gonna love him because he’s...
Messin’ With the Hook: Our 1986 John Lee Hooker Feature
This article originally appeared in the April 1986 issue of SPIN. A battered motel room in Watts, the Glen-Dora Motor Lodge. When you come in, John Lee Hooker is standing at the stove in the cramped kitchenette. He’s cooking him up some red beans and rice, some biscuits and gravy, some neck-bones. Battered neckbones. Or no, better—it’s a woman at the stove. A middle-aged black woman, thick at the hips, wearing puffy bedroom slippers. And John Lee Hooker’s settled in at the yellow linoleum dinette table with the rusty chrome legs. He has an old undershirt on, and as you come in, he looks up and says (nigh-perfect ZZ Top–imitation growl), “How how how how…” No. John Lee Hooker is in bed. On the eighth floor of Santa Monica’s Bay View Plaza Holiday Inn. Half under the covers a...
Say It With a Mixtape
It’s a story you’re burning to tell. A story of new love and devastating heartbreak, fresh beginnings and super-sad endings, feeling alone—and then knowing all your pals will celebrate your shared cauldron of delectable song stew you’ve labored over for hours—weeks, even—to get just the right flavor, order and mix-tape special sauce. All it took was a single (but mighty) speaker and a tape recorder—possibly even handheld—and the all-important element of anticipation and endless patience. And of course, the tape. That mod pink/yellow/green Memorex was calling our name. Like most electronic games in the ‘80s, if you screwed up, you’d have to start all over again. Some of you think that streaming is all that for one reason and one reason only: It’s easy. Just slap a playlist together and give...

SUNSTORM Feat. RAINBOW Singer RONNIE ROMERO: Music Video For ‘Afterlife’
SUNSTORM, a project created, overseen, and directed by president and A&R director of Frontiers Records Serafino Perugino, was originally designed to showcase a musical style similar to singer Joe Lynn Turner‘s melodic rock/AOR roots. After five successful releases, SUNSTORM will now be a vehicle for one of the most impressive vocal talents to emerge in recent years in the form of RAINBOW singer Ronnie Romero. Romero‘s debut album with SUNSTORM, “Afterlife”, will be released on March 12. Fans can get another taste of the album with the release of the single and video for the track “Afterlife”. Given Turner‘s lack of interest in continuing with SUNSTORM, it appeared the project might be at an end. But Perugino decided to follow his instincts and ...
