Dua Lipa Shares New Video for “Levitating” Remix Featuring Missy Elliott and Madonna: Watch [Updated]
“Levitating” remix featuring Missy Elliott, Dua Lipa, The Blessed Madonna, and Madonna Already one of our favorite albums of the year, Future Nostalgia had us up off the quarantine couch and bopping around in our pjs. But Dua Lipa isn’t quite done partying to that record — she’s actually just getting started. Later this month, the pop star will release a new remix album, Club Future Nostalgia, that will bring the original LP further into nightlife rotation. To tease this forthcoming project, Lipa is sharing a rework of “Levitating”, and it features some folks who pretty much grew up on the dance floor: Madonna, Missy Elliott, and The Blessed Madonna, the house/techno producer formerly known as The Black Madonna. Given this star-studded assemblage, it’s no wonder the new ve...

Today’s world feels a bit like the wild, wild west, doesn’t it? The more we get used to our new normal, the less it all makes sense. Between the pandemic, the much-needed Black Lives Matter protests, the upcoming election, and social distancing, this summer has been a lot, to say the least. Luckily for us, we got a slight reprieve from the madness this week from Orville Peck via his brand-new EP, Show Pony. The six-song collection from the mysterious country singer includes our Song of the Week, “Legends Never Die”, a duet with one country legend that’s hard not to recognize: Shania Twain. “Legends Never Die” is a timeless, classic...

SYSTEM OF A DOWN drummer John Dolmayan says that people who “despise” President Donald Trump will try to get him out of office “by any means necessary.” The musician, who has praised Trump in recent weeks and has accused Democrats of “demonizing” the president and “blaming him for everything under the sun,” took to his Instagram earlier today (Sunday, August 16) to share a picture of a “Cheat To Win” parody of the Livestrong bracelet worn by Lance Armstrong fans. He wrote in an accompanying message: “To win by any means necessary. Fraud , murder , extortion , race baiting , dividing the people , distorting facts , angling , lying , inciting violence , erasing history , attacking religious beliefs and much much more . It̵...
R. Kelly Alleged Manager Charged With Shooting Threat That Evacuated 2018 Doc Screening
Source: Chicago Tribune / Getty Perhaps the only person working harder to cheat than Donald Trump is R. Kelly. An alleged manager of the disgraced R&B singer and accused sexual predator has been charged with calling in a threat during a documentary screening. Back in late 2018, a screening of the then-forthcoming Lifetime Surviving R. Kelly documentary, which is now on Netflix, was abruptly ended evacuated due to a threat. Reports TMZ: Donnell Russell has just been charged by the U.S. Department of Justice for an alleged threat to shoot up an NYC theater in December 2018 when the Lifetime documentary, “Surviving R. Kelly,” was being screened there. The feds claim Russell admitted to first sending a cease-and-desist letter trying to end the screening — but when that failed, prosecutors ...
CeeLo Green Apologizes To Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion
Source: Andy Willsher / Getty No one, and we mean no one care for for CeeLo Green’s opinion about “WAP” considering his problematic behavior. Nevertheless, he did, and the Goodie Mob rapper and singer is now apologizing for his fail. As previously reported, CeeLo chimed in with the audacity to criticize the content Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s sexual explicit “WAP.” Social media was quick to point out some of Green’s previous suspect commentary, including asserting it isn’t rape if the woman is unconscious. Seriously, that happened. And now here we are, with CeeLo apologizing, via Instagram. “There seems to be a misunderstanding with a quote taken from an interview I did a few days ago while promoting my new project. Firstly, I’m an advocate of artistic freedom and expression as well ...

Deftones Might Have Just Sneakily Announced the Release Date of Their New Album
Deftones are teasing something — and all signs point to the release of their anticipated new album. As Loudwire points out, the band recently updated all its social media profile pictures to black frames, with the Facebook image directing fans to its website. The website is a static black screen with white pixels slowly coming into focus to form a square. Could it be album artwork? Though this is interesting, the real clue is in the URL itself (https://www.deftones.com/0925). The numbers likely translate to a date — Sept. 25 — which happens to be a Friday, the day albums are released. A Sept. 25 release date makes total sense, considering Deftones’ drummer Abe Cunningham recently said the album would “hopefully” drop in September after revealing it had been completed during quarantine and ...

The band’s ability to fuse melody with elements of speed metal and doom makes their songs particularly memorable, and the new single is no exception. “I wrote the songs on Enlightened in Eternity before my life fell apart, and from the beginn...
