Song of the Week: Lana Del Rey Casts Her Spell with the Melancholic “Watercolor Eyes”
Song of the Week breaks down and talks about the song we just can’t get out of our head each week. Find these songs and more on our Spotify Top Songs playlist. For our favorite new songs from emerging artists, check out our Spotify New Sounds playlist. This week, Lana Del Rey’s cut from the Euphoria soundtrack captures all the glitter and drama of the hit television show. HBO’s Euphoria is a lot of things — trendy, absurd, moving, disturbing, a cinematography dream — but, above all, it is the moment. In an era often dominated by binge-watching, it’s a rarity to see people dutifully tune into new episodes of a show on a weekly basis for fear of missing out on the social conversation. Season 2 of the addiction drama seems just as strong (if not stronger) on that front. Sunday evening trendin...
Megan Thee Stallion & Shenseea Get Freaky In Visuals To “Lick It”
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz It’s been a while but Megan Thee Stallion is back and in a brand new video shows us that she hasn’t lost a step or a twerk. Hopping on Shenseea’s new visuals for “Lick,” The Hot Girl Coach lends Shenseea a helping hand (and booty) as Shen gears up for her debut album, ALPHA. Though Shenseea isn’t exactly a household name like that of Thee Stallion, the Jamaican-Korean crooner has been making a name for herself as she’s been featured on cuts like Christina Aguilera’s “Right Moves,” and Kanye West’s “Pure Souls.” If you watch the visuals you’ll see that her physical degree is actually on par with that of Megan as she shakes and twerks along with the beat as a Candy Land like inspired background sets the flavorful tone for the...

Remembering Meat Loaf, A Singer Who Was Larger Than Life
Marvin Lee Aday, known to the world as Meat Loaf, died on Thursday night at the age of 74. He was a star of the stage and the screen, in classics like Rocky Horror Picture Show and Fight Club. But more than anything, he will be remembered as the most over-the-top star of rock’s most over-the-top decade. ”Our hearts are broken,” said his family in a Facebook post early Friday morning announcing the singer’s death. Meat Loaf is survived by his wife Deborah and two daughters from a previous marriage. TMZ reported that he had contracted COVID-19 at the time of his death. With his songwriting partner Jim Steinman, who died last April, Meat Loaf’s voice remains unsurpassed. The duo’s reigning accomplishment, 1977’s Bat Out Of Hell, was a debut that lived up to its title: Meat Loaf became a globa...

Fans of the Fugees will be disappointed to learn that the hip-hop group has canceled its upcoming anniversary tour due to the pandemic.

Lana Del Rey Shares New Song “Watercolor Eyes” Off of ‘Euphoria’ Season 2 Soundtrack
Lana Del Rey has released a new single titled “Watercolor Eyes” off of the Euphoria soundtrack. The track was teased last week and will appear in the third episode of the HBO Max show’s second season.

Adele’s Last Minute Cancellation Leaves Vegas, Fans Wondering: What Went Wrong?
Adele shocked fans on Thursday (Jan. 20) when she took to Instagram to explain that her Las Vegas residency — which was set to open the next day — had been postponed indefinitely due to production delays caused by COVID-19, fighting through tears as she explained, “We’ve run out time.” The “Easy on Me” singer told fans “My show ain’t ready” to open on Friday due to “delivery delays and COVID” spreading amongst the team of people working with the artist to launch her first performance series in a half decade. Adele said she was embarrassed and “gutted” to have to make the announcement just one day before the 24-show run opened. Last month, Billboard predicted that the January-to-April weekend concert series would net Adele $2 million per show and help her avoid exposure to COVID that could ...
