David Bowie’s The Man Who Sold the World to Be Reissued for 50th Anniversary
David Bowie’s seminal The Man Who Sold The World album is getting the 50th-anniversary treatment and will be released under its originally intended title, Metrobolist, on Nov. 6 on Parlophone Records. As with the Space Oddity 50th anniversary vinyl, as well as a 180g black vinyl edition, it will come in 2020 limited edition handwritten numbered copies on gold vinyl (numbers 1971 through 2020) and on white vinyl (numbers 1 through 1970) all randomly distributed. The 2020 re-release of the album under its Metrobolist moniker has been remixed by original producer Tony Visconti, with the exception of the track “After All,” which Visconti considered perfect as is and is featured in its 2015 remaster incarnation. Bowie personally d...
SZA, Ty Dolla $ign, And The Neptunes All ‘Hit Different’ On Vibey New Single
Way back in January, SZA revealed that we’d be hearing new music from her this year — and when her Trolls World Tour collab with Justin Timberlake dropped the following month, fans were hoping there was plenty more where that came from. Today (September 4), despite some previous (deleted) tweets where SZA had characterized the relationship between her and TDE label president Punch as “hostile,” a gorgeous new SZA song has arrived. It features Ty Dolla $ign, was produced by The Neptunes, and is called “Hit Different.” While “The Other Side” stayed firmly in the pop realm, “Hit Different” is patented SZA R&B, undulating and seemingly with its own gravitational pull. Over a bass-heavy beat courtesy of Pharrell and Chad Hugo, SZA unspoo...
Justin Bieber Stars As Drake In DJ Khaled’s Trippy New ‘Popstar’ Video
Drake and Justin Bieber are perhaps the two most famous Canadians in the history of pop music. Right now, though — during a time of unprecedented travel restrictions due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, there’s one key element that separates them: Drake’s been in Canada (which means he can’t travel to the United States), and Bieber’s already here, in Los Angeles. In the realm of music videos, this means Bieber is free to take Drake’s place at the center of the “Popstar” visual, helmed by Director X (Julien Christian Lutz), which dropped on Friday (September 4). In it, Bieber is the very embodiment of the title, carrying a bottle of champagne around a mansion that’s simultaneously in both party and after-party mode, lip-synching Drake’s...
NAPALM DEATH Releases Music Video For New Song ‘A Bellyful Of Salt And Spleen’
U.K. grindcore pioneers NAPALM DEATH will release their new studio album, “Throes Of Joy In The Jaws Of Defeatism”, on September 18 via Century Media Records. To further demonstrate the wide stylistic array explored on the LP, NAPALM DEATH has launched a single/video clip for the closing track, “A Bellyful Of Salt And Spleen”. Check it out in a video clip created by Sam Edwards and Khaled Lowe of A-Side Films. NAPALM DEATH vocalist Mark “Barney” Greenway commented about the song/video as follows: “‘A Bellyful Of Salt And Spleen’, you could say, is about building and breaking down in the same discordant breath. The building came in the sense of many layers of coruscating industrial ambience, all marching to the beat of a home-made drum k...

Original JUDAS PRIEST Singer AL ATKINS ‘Couldn’t Believe What Happened’ To DAVE HOLLAND
Original JUDAS PRIEST singer Al Atkins says that he “couldn’t believe what happened” to former PRIEST drummer Dave Holland. Holland died in January 2018 in Lugo, Spain, where the 69-year-old had reportedly been residing after spending several years in a British jail for attempting to rape a teenage boy. The drummer was sentenced in January 2004 of trying to assault the 17-year-old in his cottage in Northamptonshire, England, while giving him drumming lessons. The abuse was revealed in a letter written by the teenager to his parents. Holland always denied any involvement in the attempted rape of the special-needs student and was at one point said to be planning to write a tell-all biography of his life and career. Speaking to Bathory metal digital magazine, Atkins said: &#...
Kanye West Gets Booted From Virginia Ballot
Source: Pool / Getty Kanye West’s Presidential campaign took another L. Yesterday (Sept. 4), a judge granted an order to removed Yeezy’s name from the Virginia ballot. Apparently, the “Power” rapper once again got caught peddling the jig when it came to getting the petition signatures needed to get on the ballot legally. Reports Raw Story: Richmond Circuit Court Judge Taylor was looking at the electors that were chosen for West’s bid because the people said that they were misled about taking an “Elector Oath.” “Two signed affidavits were submitted Friday to the State Board of Elections from registered voters who said they were duped into signing up to serve as electors for West in Virginia,” the Washington Post reported on Monday. “In a separate account, an Alexandria woman ...
Drake Calls On The Biebs To Take His Place In DJ Khaled’s “Popstar” Video
Source: Kevin Mazur/BBMA2017 / Getty It was a long time in the making but finally DJ Khaled and Drake have finally come together to drop some new visuals for their collaboration cut, “Popstar.” However, Drake is relegated to shooting his part from the comfort of his Canadian home due to the Coronavirus shutting down travel from the all sides of the border. Luckily for Drizzy he has a little pull in the music game and recruits non other than fellow Mountie, Justin Bieber to fill in for him and recite his verse throughout the visuals as he throws a soiree at his mansion with tons of guests and no masks to be seen. Super spreader event? Regardless of the Rona, the video was pretty damn funny and entertaining. Check out the visuals to Director X’s “Popstar” below and let us know if Justin Bieb...
Damn Homie: 50 Cent Wants To Erase G-Unit From His Hip-Hop History
Source: Patrick McMullan / Getty 50 Cent is making sure folks know G-Unit is not only over, but also that he regrets creating the group who ran the charts in the early 2000s. During an interview with DJ Whoo Kid, 50 Cent revealed that he regrets creating the group who helped propel the careers of Lloyd Banks, Young Buck, and Tony Yayo, before adding that he has no plans of creating a documentary around the group after Whoo Kid raised the question due to the increase in Hip-Hop documentaries. “I don’t care to do that, I’d like to forget G-Unit,” Fif said. “Kendrick [Lamar] doesn’t even let those boys come on stage with him. I could have did that! What the f*ck I’m bringing 30 n***as onstage for? I could have did it like Kendrick.” While 50 wishes to forget his group, we have to point out ho...
Aloe Blacc Writes Soul-Saving Anthems for Troubled Times on All Love Everything
Aloe Blacc could’ve never predicted the rough new world his album, All Love Everything, would be born into when it drops Oct. 2. The prescient themes that are reflected throughout the album were recorded prior to 2020’s chaotic twists and turns. In the troubled times of COVID-19 and racial violence and unrest, Blacc’s soulful songs about togetherness and family feel like a sorely needed life raft helping us keep a grip on the things that matter most. Blacc, who is best known for both 2010’s “I Need a Dollar” and for his vocals on Avicii’s 2013 international EDM anthem “Wake Me Up!” is back with his first proper solo album of new material in seven years. Recently, we spoke with Blacc about the art of writing timelessly heartfelt anthems, embracing fatherhood as a songwriter and his dedicati...
