Jane Remover (fka dltzk) Shares New Songs
The stage name dltzk has never sat right with me. Oftentimes in interviews or during conversations, I struggle to get the name out of my mouth. Originally being a username I’d conjured when I was a kid, it reminds me of what I’ve been doing with my teen years… Hiding. The best way to figure out who you really are is through honest self-expression and I’d prefer to start anew. With that being said, most people know I’m not very fond of my EP ‘Teen Week;’ it encapsulates a gradual acceptance of my own true self. While making that project, years ago, I was not in the same headspace, as I currently am today. I was much younger… I was a teen (LOL) and I was still learning how to navigate life. I’m not comfortable with the project as it currently is, so in the next coming weeks, that EP wi...

Fiona Apple Shares Statement on Roe v. Wade Reversal
Fiona Apple has shared a new statement about the Supreme Court’s recent decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. In a video shared via the Fiona Apple Rocks fan channel, she spoke out about the systems of control behind the decision. She added that she planned on donating to abortion funds and bail funds instead of politicians. “I’m just one of a lot of women who need to keep on expressing that we do not fucking accept this,” she said. Watch it below. “We have to talk about how we feel about this, how unacceptable this is. We have to keep on expressing ourselves, because this is all about control,” Apple said in her statement. In addition to her lifetime advocacy for women’s self-determination, Apple has more recently become a vocal supporter of judicial transparency and open court proceedings. L...

Kate Bush’s ‘Running Up That Hill’ On Track For Third U.K. Chart Crown
It took 37 years to reach No. 1, now Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill” (via Fish People) is proving hard to move from the U.K. chart summit.

Lily Meola Lives Her ‘Daydream’ With Tearjerking – And Golden Buzzer-Winning – ‘AGT’ Audition
Golden buzzers are the stuff dreams are made of. Or daydreams, as is the case for Lily Meola. The 27-year-old singer and songwriter performed an original song on America’s Got Talent, a number that would draw tears from a stone. “Daydreams” has evolved over the years, Meola explained at the top, a song written at a time when things were going great, when a music industry path lay out in front of her. “Then my life flipped upside down,” she recounted. Her mom was diagnosed with cancer, Meola became her fulltime caregiver, and lost her label deal during that difficult time. Sadly, her mom didn’t make it, though Meola is grateful for the extra time she had. “I’m just trying to make her proud, and continue to live my daydream,” she explained. In that moment, everyone in the room was living her...
