Fans Speculate the Arrival of Adele’s Next Album After Several ’30’ Billboards Pop Up
In a case of mysterious billboards, fans have spotted a couple of new billboards around town with the number 30 place prominently as the focus point. An Adele fan Twitter account, @adeledailynet posted two photos showcasing the new billboards accompanied with the caption, “Something is happening. #30.” Just earlier this week, Billboard revealed that a radio host tweeted a now-deleted message, “New Adele. This week,” leaving fans to believe that new music is on its way. According to another article from Billboard fans appear to be stoking the flame, theorizing that since Adele is now 33, she must have made the record when she was 30 years old, amidst the divorce from her then-husband Simon Konecki. Adele’s debut studio album, 19 was released in 2008, followed by 21 in 2011 and 25 in 2015. I...
Morgan Wallen Banned from Attending the CMA Awards, Still Nominated for Album of the Year
Well, this is awkward: Disgraced country star Morgan Wallen — who in February was caught on video hollering the N-word in the midst of a “72-hour bender” — has been banned from attending the Country Music Association Awards next month, despite still being nominated for Album of the Year. This news is pretty mind-boggling, considering Wallen was also banned from the Academy of Country Music, revoking his eligibility for any 2021 ACM Awards. Apparently, the CMA’s decision came about in an effort to acknowledge the team behind the album, Dangerous, while still trying to limit Wallen’s association with the awards show (because “separating the art from the artist” has always worked well in the past). “This was something we looked at from so many angles,” CMA CEO Sarah Trahern told the LA T...

Charnel Noir – LIGHT OF THE MORNING STAR
RATING: 7.5/10 The sounds and style of the ’80s post-punk and gothic movements have been plundered remorselessly in recent times. It makes perfect sense, because seldom has there been a genre that goes so stoically against the contemporary, future-chasing grain. But unlike many of their perfectly great, retro-gloom peers, the UK’s LIGHT OF THE MORNING STAR exude authenticity and a real, near-chewable connection between the noises being made right here, right now, and the spectral echoes of the purest of gothic bloodlines. Like all the best gothic music, this makes the unknowable dark seem a deeply attractive proposition. There is an endearingly lo-fi edge to the clattering, programmed drums that propel the opening title track along. Combined with the eerie sting of blackened ri...
