Kaina Built Her Own Community
By Max Freedman At the start of the pandemic, Kaina Castillo felt just like the rest of us: isolated, uninspired, a bit down. For the 26-year-old Chicago-based musician, who records as Kaina (styled in all caps), that meant going through 2020 without working on music — not even with the tailwind of her breakout 2019 debut album Next to the Sun propelling her forward. “It was really difficult to ask myself to create anything,” she tells MTV News. “We’ve never experienced a time like this, and I think it’s completely fair to say that all you want to do is just lay in bed and be numb.” In early 2021, Castillo reckoned with how unmoored she felt from her music in 2020 and decided to do something about it. “I was like, ‘I haven’t written a song, and I’m losing that muscle,’” s...
Drummer Jack Irons Is Still ‘Fishing’ for New Sounds
It may sound hyperbolic, but without Jack Irons, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Pearl Jam may never have come to exist. The 59-year-old drummer was key to the formation of both of those Rock and Roll Hall of Fame-inducted bands, thanks to lifelong friendships with musicians such as Flea, Anthony Kiedis and Alain Johannes, and to his chance handoff of a 1990 instrumental, pre-Pearl Jam demo tape to a then-unknown San Diego singer named Eddie Vedder, who was afterward invited to join that band within a matter of weeks. In recent years, Irons has released a host of largely instrumental music on his own, boiling down the essence of his rhythmic prowess into tracks that at times recall the spookier side of trip-hop, the precision cool of Kraftwerk and the spaced-out syncopation of Can. On March ...
Florence + The Machine Release ‘Heaven Is Here’
A few weeks after releasing their first proper new track in years (they did record a song for Cruella last year), Florence + The Machine are back with yet another new one in “Heaven Is Here.” [embedded content][embedded content] The previously unveiled “King,” was the group’s first since 2018 and was produced by Grammy-award-winning producer Jack Antonoff. The videos for both new tracks were directed by Autumn de Wilde. Here’s what Welch wrote on her Instagram about “Heaven Is Here”: “‘Heaven is Here’ was the first song I wrote in lockdown after an extended period of not being able to get to the studio. I wanted to make something monstrous. And this clamour of joy, fury and grief was the first thing that came out. “With dance studios also shut it was my dream to one day create choreog...

Netflix, TikTok Block Services in Russia to Avoid Crackdown
Netflix and TikTok suspended most of their services in Russia on Sunday (March 6) as the government cracks down on what people and media outlets can say about Russia’s war in Ukraine. TikTok said Russian users of the popular social media app would no longer be able to post new videos or livestreams and they also wouldn’t be able to see videos shared from elsewhere in the world. Netflix said it was suspending its service in Russia but didn’t provide additional details. The actions are likely to further isolate the country and its people after a growing number of multinational businesses have cut off Russia from vital financial services and technology products in response to Western economic sanctions and global outrage over the invasion of Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday...

‘We Don’t Talk About Bruno’ Captures U.K. Chart Crown For Seventh Week
Encanto’s “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” (via Walt Disney) can’t be caught in the U.K. chart race, as the hit single enters a seventh week at No. 1. “Bruno,” the longest-running No. 1 this year so far, became the first original Disney cut to lead the Official U.K. Singles Chart. Encanto continues to make a big impression on the chart with “Surface Pressure” down 3-5 this week, and “The Family Madrigal” down 8-10. Further down the list, there are climbs for Lost Frequencies and Calum Scott’s “Where Are You Now” (up 4-3 via Insanity); Belters Only and Jazzy’s “Make Me Feel Good” (up 5-4 via Polydor); Australian DJ and producer Luude’s reworking of “Down Under” featuring Men at Work’s Colin Hay (up 10-6 via Sweat It Out); and D-Block Europe and current albums chart champ Central Cee’s “Overseas”...
Dave’s ‘Starlight’ Set to Dethrone ‘We Don’t Talk About Bruno’ In U.K.
Can Dave break the Encanto spell? The “Funky Friday” rapper cruises to the lead in the U.K. singles chart race with “Starlight,” a surprise release to celebrate the start of his U.K. tour. “Starlight” is burning bright on the First Look chart, which ranks songs based on sales and streams consumed in the first 48 hours of the chart cycle. If it keeps its spot, “Starlight” will give the Brit Award and Mercury Prize winner his second No. 1, and de-throne Encanto’s “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” after a seven-week unbroken run at the top. Whatever happens when the chart proper is published later this week, expect to see a new leader. “Bruno” tumbles 1-9 on the chart blast. With “Starlight” set to debut at No. 1, the man from Down Under, Luude, prepares to crash the U.K. Top 5 for the first time. ...
