Kate Bush on ‘Running Up That Hill’ Reaching New UK Chart Peak: ‘How Utterly Brilliant!’
When Kate Bush released “Running Up That Hill” in 1985 there’s no way she could’ve known how successful it would be nearly 40 years later. But with the help of Stranger Things using the song as a key part of the plot in Season 4, the Hounds of Love single is climbing higher on the charts than its initial release. After sharing a rare statement about the track’s revival last week, Bush is back with more joyous words after “Running Up That Hill” soared to No. 2 on the UK chart (it peaked at No. 3 upon its initial release). “Running Up That Hill has just gone to No 2 in the UK charts and No. 1 in Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, Sweden….How utterly brilliant!” Bush wrote on her official website. “It’s hard to take in the speed at which this has all been happening since the ...
Grime Veteran Scorcher Taps Tion Wayne for New Drill Record “Ops”
North London-born rapper Scorcher is back with new music. Following the release of his latest album The Drama at the start of this year, the grime veteran has just dropped off some new visuals from the project for stand-out record “Ops,” featuring Tion Wayne. Jumping onto Joey Stickz’s hard-hitting drill production, both Scorcher and Tion Wayne come with punchy and straight-talking lyricism that explains that the duo only associate themselves with those who have their backs. While the production keeps up with the new-sounding Scorcher of recent times, both Scorcher and Wayne are given the space to breathe through the lightly-sprinkled 808s and synths, adding plenty of much-deserved replay value. The accompanying visuals, directed by Jay Money ta...
Rudy Giuliani’s Story Reimagined as an Opera in ‘Rudy! A Documusical’ at Tribeca Festival
A new documentary about Rudy Giuliani premiering at the Tribeca Festival weaves in musical performances to give the ups and downs of the man once commonly referred to as “America’s Mayor” an operatic flavor. Rudy! A Documusical, directed by Jed Rothstein, is in large part a sober, conventional analysis of the unlikely trajectory of Giuliani’s political life, from New York prosecutor, mayor and Sept. 11 hero to the pusher of bogus legal challenges to the 2020 election for then-President Donald Trump. But to fully convey the exaggerated highs and lows of Giuliani, Rothstein felt he needed a Greek chorus. “His story is very operatic,” Rothstein said in an interview. “The music can bring out emotional truths that’s different than having someone talk about it. It’s certainly unconventional in a...

9-Year-Old Girl Masters Tool’s Complex 15-Minute Song “7empest” on Guitar: Watch
Tool’s complex 15-minute opus “7empest” is a difficult cover for anyone to attempt. Don’t tell that to 9-year-old guitar shredder Maya Neelakantan. In the YouTube clip, Neelakantan puts on a Nandi Bushell-esque display of talent as she expertly darts around the fretboard. Adam Jones wrote some deft guitar parts for the Fear Inoculum track, and it appears he has a worthy understudy in Neelakantan, if ever needed. She even emulates his wah pedal footwork. As she explains in the introduction to the video, Maya was inspired to play her “most favorite song” after receiving a brand new Gibson Les Paul guitar for her ninth birthday last month. Of note, Jones famously plays a Les Paul and even has his own line of signature models with Gibson. Advertisement Related Video “This is my most favorite s...
