Harry Styles Knows You’ve Been “Touching Yourself” on New Cover of “Wet Dream”: Watch
Harry Styles is comfortable with himself, his voice, and his incorrigibly horny fans, as he proved with a new cover of Wet Leg’s “Wet Dream.” The song by the “Chaise Longue” rockers came as part of Styles’ set at the BBC 1 Radio Live Lounge (or should that be Live Longue?). “I was in your wet dream,” he cooed, “Driving in my car/ Saw you at the side of the road/ There’s no one else around/ You’re touching yourself, touching yourself,” he repeated with a little wiggle of the hips, “Touching your, touching yourself/ Touching yourself.” Styles followed that with “Late Night Talking,” “Boyfriends,” and “As It Was,” all from his fun new album Harry’s House. Check out the Live Lounge set below. Advertisement If you want to have dreams of the more restful varie...

Wynonna and Waxahatchee Bravely Face the “Other Side” on New Single: Stream
Wynonna Judd hasn’t let losing her mother Naomi Judd get in the way of making music. Less than a month after the sudden death of her former bandmate in The Judds, the country music legend has teamed up with modern indie-folk icon Waxahatchee (aka Katie Crutchfield) for a spirited new song called “Other Side.” An upbeat, breezy country number, “Other Side” seems topically relevant, serving as a beacon of light in the midst of tragedy. “I got a heart, got a heart of gold/ Casts a shadow, dark and cold/ If we move our way against the tide/ There’s something on the other side,” the pair sing in blissful harmony over a steady drum beat and fingerpicked guitars. “In the midst of everything that has happened, I said that I would continue to sing,” Wynonna explained in a statement. “So, here I am....
