Featuring previously released singles “Diamonds” and “My Oasis” with Burna Boy, Smith recently revealed to Apple Music’s Zane Lowe that Love Goes is their first “proper heartbreak” record. “I’d say [this was] the first proper time I’ve been actually heartbroken. That feeling of they’re gone, you can’t sleep, the really, really bad feeling,” they said. “The others were the idea of it and it was pure unrequited love. This, I would like to say that we loved each other. So, I definitely, definitely loved him. So yeah, it was prope...
Paris Jackson Lets It Bleed In ‘Let Down’: Watch
The alternative folk song — her words – is one of 11 songs set for the album Wilted, due out Nov. 13. The model and artist is, of course, the daughter of the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson. “I found so much healing through creating this,” she says of the forthcoming LP. “And there are moments where I’ll listen back to certain songs and I’m like, ‘Wow I was so naïve.’ But for the most part, it’s just like so much gratitude and joy that I get from listening to these songs and just seeing the development and the evolution.” Jackson premiered the track at midnight on YouTube, then dropped its gothic music video.

Paris Jackson Makes Her Solo Debut With ‘Let Down’
Paris Jackson has always loved singing — she does come from music royalty after all. But after playing with The Soundflowers, she’s finally relasing something on her own. Exploring the birth and collapse of love, Jackson penned the track while it was produced by Andy Hull of Manchester Orchestra. Directed by Meredith Alloway, the video further illustrates the message with an opulent love story that seems like a fairy tale. But by the end of the visual, you’ll see the idea of dying for love in a different light. [embedded content] “I feel so many emotions,” Jackson said in a statement. “I’m excited, I’m nervous, mostly grateful and happy…The freedom to create, not being told what to sing and how to sing it, what to write; it’s awesome. It’s a gift, it’s a blessing.” “Let Down” is the lead s...

TESLA Hasn’t Had Any Drugs Or Alcohol On A Tour Since 2004
In a new interview with Jam Man, TESLA drummer Troy Luccketta was asked how he and his bandmates have managed to stay together for nearly four decades. He responded (see video below): “Well, we broke up in ’96, and then we got back together in October 2000. It was only gonna be [a reunion] for one show. And now it’s 20 years later. And through that process, we learned a lot about how to stay together, how to respect one another. “Unfortunately, alcohol and drugs play a part in rock and roll sometimes,” he continued. “TESLA doesn’t have any drugs or alcohol on a tour — not even a beer backstage — since ’04. So we’re talking 16 years. We had a conference and decided that we didn’t even want any alcohol or nothing to get in the way. ...
Canadian Artist Paints EDDIE VAN HALEN Memorial Mural

Airbrush artist Paul Archer painted the mural on the back wall of Archer Airbrushing shop in Victoria, British Columbia. Archer, who was a huge fan of VAN HALEN and got to know members of the band on a personal level, completed the piece in two days. “I was a stagehand at the Memorial Arena, [now known as the Save-on-Foods Memorial Arena], and we actually went to lunch together and had fish and chips,” Archer told CTV News. “We talked and he became kind of like a friend because every time VAN HALEN would play, I would be at the show and I’d be a stagehand and he’d know me by name.” Archer went on to say that he originally intended to make the mural three t...
