Caroline Spence Teams Up with Matt Berninger on “I Know You Know Me”: Stream
Caroline Spence has enlisted The National’s Matt Berninger for her latest single “I Know You Know Me” via Rounder Records. On the romantic ballad, the pair conjure up a sweeping tale of intimacy and connection. “No matter where the storm is in my mind/ It’ll never be a place that you can’t find/ You hold the candle, oh, you hold the key/ I know you know me,” they sing in unison before lush strings cascade into the chorus. “I’m still beside myself that Matt agreed to be a part of this song,” Spence said in a statement. “I recorded my own solo version for my upcoming record, but always saw potential for it as a duet. Matt’s voice brought a new depth to the narrative and the sonic palette of this song.” Advertisement Related Video The song is a follow-up to the Nashville-based singer’s 2...
WILLOW Lends “emo girl” Authenticity to Machine Gun Kelly on New Song: Stream
Over the past few years, both Machine Gun Kelly and WILLOW have pivoted into pop punk. The key difference is MGK was pushing 30 when he switched over from rapping and the longtime genre-fluid WILLOW was just around drinking age. That’s why the latter’s contribution to their new collaboration “emo girl” is so crucial. Having grown up on My Chemical Romance and Paramore, pop punk was a natural progression for WILLOW, which makes the origins of “emo girl” so infuriating. While WILLOW expressed her appreciation for “just being able to be authentically me” on the track during a Rolling Stone conversation with Barker last year, the Blink-182 drummer revealed that he and MGK already had a verse written for her. Thankfully, the final lyrics didn’t end up being written from the perspective of two c...
RIAA Moves Against HitPiece, Calls For Permanent End To ‘Bogus’ NFT Site’s Infringement Of Artist Rights
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) today sent a demand letter to the attorney representing the notorious (and now offline) web site called HitPiece that has been selling music-related NFTs, demanding the site stop infringing music creator intellectual property (IP) rights, provide a complete listing of site activities and revenues to date, and account for all NFTs and artwork auctioned off. RIAA‘s chairman and chief operating officer Mitch Glazier explained the association’s decision to move so quickly: “As music lovers and artists embrace new technologies like NFTs, there’s always someone looking to exploit their excitement and energy. Given how fans were misled and defrauded by these unauthorized NFTs and the massive risk to both fans and artists...
STEVE VAI On Possibility Of Reunion Of DAVID LEE ROTH’s ‘Eat ‘Em And Smile’ Solo Band: ‘The Train Has Left The Station’
Guitar legend Steve Vai says that the train has “left the station” when it comes to a proposed reunion of VAN HALEN singer David Lee Roth‘s solo band following the cancelation of their November 2015 performance in Hollywood. Roth‘s “Eat ‘Em And Smile” reunion at the Lucky Strike Live nearly seven years ago was called off at the last minute by the fire marshal. The show would have marked the first time in three decades that Roth joined Vai, bassist Billy Sheehan, drummer Greg Bissonette (RINGO STARR & HIS ALL-STARR BAND) and keyboardist Brett Tuggle to perform some of the hits from the classic LP. Asked in a new interview with Barbara Caserta of Italy’s Linea Rock about the possibility of a “Eat ‘Em And Smile”-era band re...
QUEENSRŸCHE’s MICHAEL WILTON Fires Back At ‘YouTuber Guitar Players’ Who ‘Think So Highly Of Themselves’
In a new interview with Premier Guitar, QUEENSRŸCHE‘s Michael Wilton was asked to name his guitar pet peeve. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I think it would have to be the YouTuber guitar players that think so highly of themselves and they cut down other players. For me, it’s, like, you’ve gotta pay your dues. You’ve gotta be out in the trenches. I mean, I’ve been doing this for 40 years, and for some YouTuber to cut me down, that’s… It’s… [laughs and shakes head]” QUEENSRŸCHE recently entered the studio to begin recording its new album for a tentative late 2022 release. Helming the effort once again is Chris “Zeuss” Harris, who previously worked with the band on 2015’s “Condition Hüman”...
