Usher “Bad Habits,” Spillage Village, JID & EARTHGANG “Baptize” & More | Daily Visuals 9.10.20
Source: NBC / Getty Usher’s been in the R&B game for a quarter century but judging from his vocals you’d think he just got into the music game and has something to prove cause the man can still carry a tune and even cut a rug. Coming back to the forefront of the R&B genre with some new visuals to “Bad Habits,” Usher once again finds himself in some relationship trouble thanks to his cheatin’ heart and uses his stellar dance moves to win back his jilted lover. Not bad dance moves for a man with a dad bod. Heavy D still the G.O.A.T in that category though. R.I.P, big homie. Elsewhere, Spillage Village, JID and EARTHGANG link up to combine some culture with the holy ghost as they spit their gospel while entrancing viewers for their visuals to “Baptize.” Check out the rest of today’s d...

Emotions are high for the Supernatural family. Today, The CW series reached its final day of shooting, concluding an epic run that spans 15 years and 15 seasons. Not surprisingly, the cast, the crew, and the fans reflected on the momentous occasion, so much so that #ThankYouSupernatural became the No. 1 trend on Twitter. Series creator Eric Kripke, who served as showrunner for the first five seasons, more or less kicked off the odes early Thursday morning. He shared a GIF of stars Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki, adding: “This was the first #Supernatural scene we shot. Today will be the last. I’m grateful & love you all beyond words.

Beastie Boys’ ’90s Hardcore EP Aglio E Olio Comes to Streaming Services: Stream
On the heels of announcing their greatest hits album, Beastie Boys have quietly uploaded their ’90s hardcore release Aglio E Olio EP to streaming services today. Stream it below via Apple Music and Spotify. Aglio E Olio EP originally came out in 1995 via Grand Royal. Beastie Boys had just come off a string of excellent hip-hop albums, the most recent of which at the time was 1994’s varied Ill Communication, and realized they had written too many punk and hardcore songs for their next full-length. Instead of dumping the material onto Hello Nasty, which wouldn’t be released until 1998, they decided to release all of the tracks together as an EP. Spanning eight songs in total, the original Aglio E Olio EP 7-inch was hastily recorded in New York City in September 1995. Joining Ad-Roc...
Sia and David Guetta Reteam for New Single “Let’s Love”: Stream
David Guetta and Sia are no strangers to a powerhouse electronic pop collaboration. After a string of chart-topping hits like “Flames”, “She Wolf (Falling to Pieces”, and the ubiquitous “Titanium”, the pair are back together for a 2020 anthem called “Let’s Love”. With a slapping ’80s beat that’s a few electronic note removed from Sing Street, the uplifting track is meant as a counterweight to the negativity that’s overwhelmed this year. “This too shall pass/ We’ll get through it all together,” Sia reassures on the hook. “I love producing club tracks but at the same time, especially now, I feel like creating ‘feel-good’ music,” Guetta said in a press statement. “‘Let’s Love’ is a message of love, hope and bringing people together and once again, Sia has out done herself on the vocals.” Orig...
