Cardi B & Kulture Jamming To Natti Natasha’s Music Is The Cutest Thing You’ll See All Day
Cardi B has once again shown her love and admiration for Natti Natasha during a recent Instagram Live. While connecting with her fans this week, the Dominican-American rapper was seen carrying her daughter Kulture and both dancing to Natti’s latest single “Que Mal Te Fue.” What made the video even more adorable was the moment baby Kulture sang part of the song in Spanish. “Que paso? Que paso?” she sings along with mommy. “I told you she likes this song,” Cardi assured her followers. On Twitter, the “WAP” singer elaborated: “She sound sooo cute tho when she sings it randomly in the house .Que pachhhoooooo.” Natti later reacted, saying, “Que pachooo. Love it. She’s beautiful, God bless her.” Billboard can confirm that both artists have not met in person, but they have established a friendshi...

MOONSPELL’s New Drummer Is Already Contributing To Songwriting Process
Vocalist Fernando Ribeiro of Portuguese metallers MOONSPELL spoke to Finland’s Kaaos TV about how he and his bandmates are dealing with the coronavirus pandemic. He said (see video below): “There was a time that we had to be distant from each other for at least a couple of months and work from home. And then, [about] two months ago, we resumed work with MOONSPELL. We did demos for the new album that we’re going to record in October, and also we played together with the new drummer. And also, we did two TV shows — one for the national TV, because it was a way of the national TV to help the musicians; they paid us a little fee, and we went there to play like a showcase — five songs — that is going to be ready in September… We did another show to create a kind of live thing ...
Regina Spektor Revisits ‘Prisoners’ on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
When Regina Spektor was invited to bring some live music to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, she brought one of her classic songs to the show — “Prisoners” off her 2002 album, Songs. “When I did my solo piano tour, I revisited some of the older songs. While dreaming up fun things for the Broadway shows I invited Caleb [Teicher], who is brilliant at using tap as percussion, to check out ‘Prisoners,’” Spektor said in a statement. The performance was filmed after Spektor’s Broadway run at the Lunt-Fontanne Theater last summer. She continued, “After the shows, we filmed the song at Roulette in Brooklyn, just to have a memory of that wonderful moment. Little did we know that being alone in a theater and on opposite sides of the stage would be where the world was heading. I await the day we c...
Cabaret Voltaire Announce First Album in Over 20 Years
Cabaret Voltaire will release their first album in over 20 years. Titled Shadow of Fear, the group shared the first single, “Vasto,” from the collection today (Aug. 19). Shadow of Fear is the first release with band founder Richard H. Kirk as the sole member of Cabaret Voltaire. Listen to “Vasto” below: [embedded content] “The album was finished just as all the weirdness was starting to kick in,” Kirk said in a statement. “Shadow Of Fear feels like a strangely appropriate title. The current situation didn’t have much of an influence on what I was doing — all the vocal content was already in place before the panic set in — but maybe due to my nature of being a bit paranoid there are hints in there about stuff going a bit weird and capturing the current state of affairs.” If you want to...
Peninsula Isn’t Nearly as Refined as Train to Busan: Review
The Pitch: In 2016, a near-perfect South Korean zombie flick crawled across the consciousness. Back then, Yeon Sang-ho’s Train to Busan—premised upon an extremely contagious virus turning people into man-eating monsters—reaped a whirlwind of success. When Sang-ho returned to make the sequel Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula, he couldn’t have predicted the prescient nature of his action-horror film. But amidst the resultant lockdowns and quarantines from Covid-19, the concept plays vastly different today. Following a former army captain and a small family surviving in Incheon, Peninsula combines components from I Am Legend, Mad Max, and the Fast & Furious series for a nonsensical joy ride that, while entertaining, lacks the sharpness of its predecessor. In Your Head: Peninsula opens to...

Dirty Projectors Announce Super João EP, Share “Holy Mackerel”: Stream
Dirty Projectors are currently two installments into a planned five-EP series they’re releasing over the course of the year. Each four-song collection features a different band member taking lead: For March’s Windows Open, it was Maia Friedman, while Felicia Douglass stepped forward for June’s Flight Tower. Now, Dirty Projectors mastermind Dave Longstreth has announced his own contribution, the Super João EP, and shared the lead single, “Holy Mackerel”. Arriving September 4th, Super João has the sort of smooth samba sounds you’d expect from an effort named after bossa nova pioneer João Gilberto, who passed away last year. Longstreth co-wrote the lyrics with Little Wings’ Kyle Field before recording direct to tape with Kyle Thomas of King Tuff, who happens to be his neighbor in Los Angeles....
Sexually Repressed Fox Anchor Tucker Carlson Freaks Out Over “WAP” Video: Watch
Nothing quite scares conservative men like a woman expressing her sexuality on her own terms. Add in the fact that she’s Black, too, and you’re bound to rile up the entire GOP base. That’s essentially what happened the other week when Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion unleashed their hotly anticipated single “WAP”. The collaboration’s acronym stands for “wet-ass pussy” and, much to many folks’ chagrin, was actually unabashedly about some wet-ass pussy. What a crime. The right immediately condemned the hip-hop track. One Republican congressional candidate named James P. Bradley described “WAP” as “what happens when children are raised without God,” later adding that he felt “sorry for future girls if this is their role model.” Bear in mind, he’s all for keeping a sexual predator in the White ...
