John Carpenter Shares New Single ‘Weeping Ghost’
John Carpenter is back with new music. The legendary composer and director will be releasing Lost Themes III: Alive After Death — his first non-soundtrack LP in almost five years. And to top off the news, Carpenter is also sharing the lead single, “Weeping Ghost,” which you can listen to below. [embedded content] The new record sees his collaboration with son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies, whom he collaborated with for the David Gordon Green-directed Halloween films, continuing on. “We begin with a theme, a bass line, a pad, something that sounds good and will lead us to the next layer,” John says of the trio’s process. “We then just keep adding on from there. We understand each other’s strengths and weaknesses, how to communicate without words, and the process is easier now...
Harry Styles Takes in the Amalfi Coast in Gorgeous New “Golden” Video: Watch
Harry Styles is still actively promoting sophomore album Fine Line almost a year later, but we’re not mad about it — especially when it involves gorgeous music videos like the one for “Golden”. Released today, the clip sees the former One Direction star spending the day along Italy’s breathtaking Amalfi Coast. Styles can be seen jogging through old picturesque tunnels and pathways; taking a dip in crisp blue waters; cruising down winding roads in a fancy car; and sunbathing on dramatic cliffs. It’s basically everything we quarantined folks could ever dream of and so much more. Let us all live vicariously through Styles in the video below, which was directed by filmmakers Ben and Gabe Turner, known for their work with One Direction and Demi Lovato. Editors’ Picks Pandemic has been mor...

Oneohtrix Point Never (photo by David Brandon Geeting) and The Weeknd (photo by Natalie Somekh) The latest album from Daniel Lopatin’s Oneohtrix Point Never project is set to drop this Friday — just in time for Halloween. Entitled Magic Oneohtrix Point Never, the album was first teased with the three-song “Drive Time Suite”, which included the Caroline Polachek-featuring track “Long Road Home”. Today, OPN has unveiled another block of songs, the “Midday Suite”, which boasts another major guest collaborator in The Weeknd. The five individual tracks that make up “Midday Suite” are entitled “Cross Talk II”, “I Don’t Love Me Anymore”, “Bow Ecco”, “The Whether Channel”, and “No Nightmares”. It’s on that latter song, a dreamy power ballad fit for an ’80s cinematic romance, where The Weeknd provi...
Xenia Rubinos Shares New Song “Who Shot Ya?”: Stream
Xenia Rubinos has returned with a new song called “Who Shot Ya?”. Following last year’s singles “Diosa” and “Bugeisha”, and this past April’s collaboration with Helado Negro, “Who Shot Ya?” serves as only Rubinos’ third release since dropping her Black Terry Cat album back in 2016. “Who Shot Ya?” includes stark yet glistening production, fluttering Auto-tune, and a choppy chorus that features the phrase “Get it”, delivered like a righteous demand. Our former CoSign definitely has her own unique style, but artists like FKA twigs and Empress Of are reasonable reference points for her artful yet enveloping breed of experimental R&B. Lyrically, the new single touches on a number of racial justice topics that have dominated the discourse throughout 2020 — from police brutality and our ...
Oscar Isaac in Talks for Marvel’s Moon Knight Series on Disney Plus
After playing the titular villain in X-Men: Apocalypse, it looks like Oscar Isaac may be taking on another headlining role in a Marvel project — only this time as a hero. Variety reports the actor is in talks to star in the Moon Knight series coming to Disney+. Should Isaac officially sign on for Moon Knight, he’d play Marc Spector, a rich ex-mercenary who devotes himself to the Egyptian moon god Khonshu in order to save his life. As Knonshu’s avatar Moon Knight, he viciously fights crime with weapons funded by his massive wealth, often drawing comparisons to Batman in that sense. However, Moon Knight isn’t Spector’s only alternate identity, as he creates the personas of millionaire Steven Grant and cab driver Jake Lockley to further aid in his heroics. Later incarnations of the character ...
Faithless Explore the ‘Human Spirit’ With ‘All Blessed,’ First Album In 10 Years
The track, recounts founding member Sister Bliss, had a life of its own. “’Insomnia’ took a year-and-a-half to become a hit,” she tells Billboard over the phone from her home in the England. Early on, the record lived underused in DJs’ vinyl cases. Then, broadcaster and DJ Pete Tong championed the track, the evergreen monster took on a life in clubland across Europe. A radio edit was cut at a more conventional 3-and-a-half minutes, and the single went to No. 3 on the Official U.K. Singles Chart.

Now signed to BMG, the outfit has sold more than 15 million albums worl...
