‘Venom: Let There Be Carnage’ Releases an Extended Post-Credit Clip
Sony Pictures has revealed a Venom: Let There Be Carnage extended post-credits scene of Eddie Brock, and his symbiote Venom, watching the sunset together on the beach. “The film is a love story, but not the love story you might think,” said the sequel director Andy Serkis. “It’s very much about the extraordinary relationship between symbiote and host. Any love affair has its pitfalls, its high points, and low points; Venom and Eddie’s relationship absolutely causes problems and stress, and they have a near-hatred for each other, but they have to be with each other—they can’t live without each other. That’s the companionship—love things that relationships are really about.” In the romantic scene above, the duo are seen discussing plans for their heroic future after having wreaked havoc in t...

Young Dolph Leaves a Lasting Legacy In Memphis
Two days before he was gunned down while buying cookies at his favorite bakery in Memphis, Tennessee, rapper Young Dolph visited a cancer center where a relative had received treatment. The 36-year-old who grew up on the Memphis streets was in town to hand out turkeys at a church and other locations ahead of Thanksgiving.

Garth Brooks Brings The Hits, Salutes His Heroes at Nashville Show
Garth Brooks’s concert Thursday (Nov. 18) at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville was billed as “an intimate evening” with the superstar — and with just an acoustic guitar, no band, and a lengthy list of iconic songs, Brooks certainly lived up to the promise. Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news At one moment soon after making his way onto the austere Opry House stage, Brooks gestured to the center stage circle of wood that was taken from the Grand Ole Opry’s former home at the Ryman Auditorium and installed when the Opry House opened in 1974—calling it “the same floorboards that the greatest of all have stood on.” From there, he offered a snippet of “Three Wooden Crosses,” which Randy Travis turned into a hit in 2002. Throughout the evening, Brook...

TikTok has struck a new, multi-year licensing arrangement with APRA AMCOS, the Australasian PRO that represents more than 111,000 songwriters, composers and music publisher members.

Alice Glass Announces Debut Solo Album PREY//IV, Shares “BABY TEETH”: Stream
More than seven years after a tumultuous departure from Crystal Castles, Alice Glass is ready to debut her first solo album, PREY//IV. Out on January 28th, 2022, it includes the newly revealed lead single “BABY TEETH,” which is streaming below. Spanning 13 tracks, the studio effort also includes “SUFFER AND SWALLOW,” which Glass delivered earlier this year while first teasing the then-untitled album. It’s her second solo project following her 2017 self-titled EP. Pre-orders for PREY//IV are ongoing. The glitchy “BABY TEETH” features upbeat production belying the subject matter that lies beneath.

Freddie Gibbs Reunites with Jadakiss on “Black Illuminati”: Stream
Freddie Gibbs and Jadakiss have shared “Black Illuminati,” their first song together in nearly a decade. The single is out now via Warner Records. “Black Illuminati” celebrates the rappers’ growing success with healthy skepticism — having money is great, but it’s become all the more clear these days that the hip-hop game comes with certain dangers. “They want to take me out this game like Sha’Carri/ Black Illuminati, touch big rabbits, streets need a body,” Gibbs spits in the minimal track. The duo rap in a lavish mansion in the song’s music video, further confirmation of their recent gains. Listen to the single below. Gibbs and Jadakiss last worked together on “Krazy,” a cut from Gibbs’ 2012 album Baby Face Killa. A lot has happened since then. Following the 2020 release of Alfredo, ...
100 gecs Unveil New Song “mememe”: Stream
100 gecs are back with the new song “mememe,” out now via Big Beat Records. The single offers the first look at Dylan Brady and Laura Les’ follow up to 1000 gecs, their 2019 hodgepodge debut that blew up on TikTok and brought hyperpop (and Brady’s coveted producer’s touch) to a greater audience. In the grand (albeit short) tradition of the duo, “mememe” blows out pop melodies, as heavy bass and guitar crunch meld with autotuned vocals and glitchy production. “You’ll never really know anything about me,” goes Brady’s refrain, which amps up the song’s angsty pop-punk feel. Watch the song’s accompanying video below. 100 gecs have teased their sophomore album, 10,000 gecs, on social media, but the record hasn’t yet received a proper release date. Since 1000 gecs, the duo have remixed the ...
Adele Unleashes Long-Awaited New Album 30: Stream
Adele has shared her long-awaited new album 30 via Columbia Records. Stream it below via Apple Music or Spotify. Led by No. 1 hit single “Easy on Me,” the album is the songstress’ fourth, and first in over six years since the release of 2015’s 25. Much of the LP’s subject matter details the emotion surrounding her split from ex-husband Simon Konecki, whom she divorced in 2021. In an interview with Apple Music, the superstar explained that she rejected her label’s advice to pander to the TikTok generation with her new music. “If everyone’s making music for the TikTok, who’s making the music for my generation? Who’s making the music for my peers?” she asked. “I will do that job gladly. I’d rather cater to people that are on my level in terms of, like, the amount of time we’ve spent on Earth ...
