JERRY CANTRELL Says ‘There Really Isn’t A Difference’ Between His Songwriting Approach For ALICE IN CHAINS And His Solo Albums
ALICE IN CHAINS guitarist and vocalist Jerry Cantrell, who is promoting his upcoming solo album, “Brighten”, was asked in a new interview with Andy Hall of the Des Moines, Iowa radio station Lazer 103.3 if he approaches writing music for AIC differently from the way he goes about composing for his solo LPs. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “No, there really isn’t a difference. I’ve developed a style and a way that I write and that I sound, and that is pretty intact in either venue. I’m always kind of collecting ideas, and before I ever get together with ALICE to record stuff, I just feel better knowing that I’m walking into the room with the guys with a whole group of really good songs — complete songs or really worked up, almost-...
JOHN CORABI: ‘There’s Multiple Reasons Why I Wouldn’t Go’ To See MÖTLEY CRÜE Perform On ‘The Stadium Tour’
In a new interview with KNAC.COM, former MÖTLEY CRÜE singer John Corabi was asked which song he would be most looking forward to hearing if he went to catch a show on the band’s “The Stadium Tour” with DEF LEPPARD next summer. He responded: “I probably wouldn’t go. I went to go see MÖTLEY back when my tenure with the band ended. I saw them at the Hollywood Bowl, they were playing with AEROSMITH. It was brutal, because I wound up answering questions from the fans that recognized me. For that reason, I probably wouldn’t go. There’s multiple reasons why I wouldn’t go, but I use that one for this interview. “I do have to say that, for me, one of my absolute favorite MÖTLEY songs is ‘Primal Scream’. I love that tune, I love the r...

A Day in the Life of…Yung Bae
If you somehow haven’t heard of Yung Bae, you’d be one of the billions (two billion, and counting) who hasn’t experienced his 2019 get-up-and-dance runaway hit “Bad Boy.” “Growing up in Portland,” he tells us, “I was always attending concerts…so I was very interested in anything that the scene had to offer.” Music was only a hobby until his 2014 debut Bae. “The biggest takeaway I had from Portland was just how diverse and welcoming the scene there is,” he says. This August he released the ultimate sunshiny feel-good track “Silver and Gold” (featuring Sam Fischer and Pink Sweat$), with its purely joyful backup horns and claps. “The way I’ve been explaining it is…it’s as if Motown were to meet late ‘70s disco era,” he says. “I love the happiness that most Motown offers and pairing that with ...

Sony US Latin President Alex Gallardo Is Leaning Into Data and Diversifying Deals
Gallardo has been doing that by trying new things, both musically and commercially. Encouraging artists like Rauw Alejandro (“Todo de Ti”), Farruko (“Pepas”) and Camilo (“Kesi”) to venture outside of reggaetón has paid off with the biggest hits of their respective careers. And building out Sony Latin’s business intelligence department — which parses data to help inform A&R, marketing and sales strategies — helped identify Rochy RD’s “Ella No Es Tuya” as it was gaining momentum on Dominican independent label Vulcano Music. The Sony Latin remix hit No. 30 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart, and was an even bigger sensation in Spain and South America. With each step, Gallardo is keeping an eye on the future. “As a label, we need to reinvent,” he says. “Nowadays, artists can ...
