Rap Song of the Week: Latto Pops a “Wheelie” with 21 Savage
Rap Song of the Week is a new music column breaking down the essential hip-hop tracks you need to hear. Check out the full playlist here. This week, Latto previews her upcoming album with the 21 Savage collaboration “Wheelie.” After winning Lifetime’s reality series The Rap Game back in 2016, the former Miss Mulatto bet on herself, turning down a recording contract on Jermaine Dupri’s So So Def Records in favor of going independent. Six years later, our 2022 Rising Artist to Watch is on the verge of her mainstream breakout. After earning her first Top 40 hit last year with the pop-leaning “Big Energy,” it’s time for Latto to aim even bigger with her upcoming album 777, which drops on March 25th. As Latto’s new single “Wheelie” proves, however, she’s hardly left hip-hop behind. A ...
Rob Zombie Reveals Elvira’s Role in Upcoming Munsters Movie, Confirms PG Rating
Rob Zombie has slowly been revealing which characters the actors in his upcoming movie The Munsters will be playing, and the latest unveiling is Elvira’s role. The “Mistress of the Dark” has been cast as Barbara Carr, the top real estate agent in the flick’s fictional town of Mockingbird Heights. Elvira (real name Cassandra Peterson) had been mentioned as part of the original cast announcement, but her role wasn’t known until now. An on-set picture of her as Barbara finds her nearly unrecognizable. Gone is her trademark vampiric look in favor of a suburban real estate agent with a colorful vintage skirt suit and wavy red hair. Zombie posted the reveal on Instagram, writing, “ATTENTION CASTING NEWS! Straight from the set of THE MUNSTERS is your first look at Barbara Carr, the #1 real estate...
Noel Gallagher Says Rock’s Gone Middle Class: “Working Class Kids Can’t Afford to Do It Now”
Noel Gallagher thinks rock and roll has become a middle class pursuit, telling The Daily Mirror that, “Working class kids can’t afford to do it now.” The longtime Oasis star and current frontman of High Flying Birds tallied up rising costs, noting that “guitars are expensive, there’s no rehearsal rooms. They’ve all been turned into wine bars and flats.” He added, “There’s lots of singer songwriters, loads of middle class bands… wearing guitars as opposed to playing them. But four or five guys from a council estate [public housing] can’t afford guitars.” Advertisement Related Video As for whether there will be another Oasis — or whether rock and roll will continue to be an art form — he sounded unsure if young people even care. “Where are the 14-year-olds in bands now?” he wondere...
Moderat Drop New Single “EASY PREY”: Stream
Moderat have unveiled their latest single “EASY PREY” and its accompanying music video. Watch the clip below. In the Cyprien Clément-Delmas-directed visual, Sascha Ring’s voice floats over the scene as a jumpstyle dancer whips and contorts to the music in a kind of dystopian technological outpost filled with glowing screens, dark hallways, and giant computer servers. “Drive me to the edge and further/ Yes I know/ Little space to back down/ On your map,” Ring sings, as pads and stuttering synths craft an airy electronic soundscape. “Raised among carnivorans/ Bitter taste/ I am just a low hanging fruit/ Easy prey.” Advertisement Related Video The track is the latest offering from the German supergroup’s forthcoming album MORE D4TA, which is slated to hit streaming services and digital retail...

PAUL STANLEY Calls Out KIM KARDASHIAN For ‘Insulting’ Business Advice To Women
KISS frontman Paul Stanley has called out Kim Kardashian over her recent advice encouraging women in business to work harder. A new clip from a recent profile of Kardashian and her famous family for Variety has gone viral after the 41-year-old told women to “get your fucking ass up and work” to be successful in business. “I have the best advice for women in business,” Kardashian said. “Get your fucking ass up and work. It seems like nobody wants to work these days. “You have to surround yourself with people that want to work,” Kardashian continued. “Have a good work environment where everyone loves what they do because you have one life. No toxic work environments and show up and do the work.” Earlier today, Stanley shared an article ab...
GHOST’s TOBIAS FORGE: ‘Just Because I’m A Control Freak Does Not Mean That I’m In Control’
In a new interview with SoundMojo‘s “Innersleeve” podcast, GHOST mastermind Tobias Forge elaborated on his recent comment that he is “a dictator and control freak” when it comes to the way he runs his band. “I try to be a control freak, or I am what you call a control freak,” he said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET). “But just because I’m a control freak does not mean that I’m in control; it just means that I’m freakish about having control — that desire, because I like to do things my way. But I’ve also learned that almost nothing that I plan goes the way that I plan; it always ends up being a different version of what I had in mind. What I know now, just because I’m somewhat successful doing it, is that it ...
Siesta Key Premiere: Juliette Wants To Move Out of Sam’s Mansion
The latest installment of the Siesta Key story has begun (and it’s not what anyone expected). A lot went down during tonight’s premiere, and Juliette’s relationship with Sam was at the forefront of the drama — with some major decisions to be made. Just a few months after moving into Sam’s “multimillion-dollar mansion,” the show’s narrator found herself grappling with regret. With her “own career, dreams and aspirations” (aka her red-hot swimsuit label) on the line, she’s ready to break free of the lavish lifestyle — waterfront property and Cartier diamond watches included. “After just moving in with Sam a few months ago, I was thinking about moving out of his beautiful house,” Juliette c...
Bop Shop: Songs From Oliver Sim, Megan Thee Stallion And Dua Lipa, And More
When hearing a new song for the first time, the mind wanders. When spinning a song from Toronto native Hannah Bussiere Kim, who releases lush and expansive music as Luna Li, for the first time, the mind may wander quite far. Midway through the wonderful “What You’re thinking,” mine found likely unrelated sonic callbacks to, of all things, a Wilco b-side where the fake strings are so thick and syrupy they might as well be cascading down a short stack. Now, Luna Li does not sound like Wilco. “What You’re Thinking” is an addictive bit of R&B-indebted pop, but sonically, it’s not far from indie rock. Similar string sounds and distinct song passages make it a miniature orchestral masterstroke. The mind wanders. And with Luna Li, what it finds is, in...
