Here’s Who Took Home the Crown on ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 6′
In the finale episode, Love, alongside her fellow top four competitors Eureka, Ginger Minj and Ra’Jah O’Hara, were tasked with writing, dancing and singing in a performance of RuPaul’s brand new country song, “This Is Our Country,” featuring none other than country legend Tanya Tucker. Once they’d finished their performance and made their cases to RuPaul regarding why they should win, the top four competed in a final one-at-a-time lip-sync to Lady Gaga’s “Stupid Love.” During her original season, Love (who then appeared mononymously as Sonique) was the fourth queen sent home, when she lip-synced against Morgan McMichaels to Stacey Q’s “Two of Hearts.” Throughout All Stars 6, Love proved her own “rudempt...
Shontelle Norman-Beatty Tops Gospel Airplay Chart With Debut Single ‘Jesus Will Fix It’
“Having a No. 1 record is an amazing feeling,” Norman-Beatty, who began singing at age 2, tells Billboard. “The past few years have been challenging.

Despite all the things that I have been through, God has been good to me.” Norman-Beatty scores the second rookie No. 1 on Gospel Airplay within three weeks.

ANIMALS AS LEADERS Return With New Song ‘Monomyth’
Groundbreaking, genre-defying instrumental trio ANIMALS AS LEADERS has dropped a brand new track, “Monomyth”, its first in five years. The band also announced today that it has signed a new deal with world-renowned independent powerhouse Sumerian Records. “Monomyth” comes accompanied by a high-concept music video directed by Telavaya Reynolds and featuring choreography by Tlathui Maza / Nohbords. Speaking on the band’s new release, guitarist Tosin Abasi shares: “‘Monomyth’ is part fever dream, part ritual. Its imagery represents man’s ceaseless attempts to translate transcendent ideas into movement. The conflation of struggle with meaning. Pain with significance. The ultimate failure of distilling perceived patterns in the world into kn...

Bachelor Release New Single “I See It Now”: Stream
Bachelor have unveiled their latest single, “I See It Now,” via Polyvinyl Record Co. Stream it below. “The room gets booked as it gets brighter/ The hand gets held a little tighter/ I see it now, I see it now/ My sister says she never liked ya/ My friends said that I shouldn’t trust ya/ I hear them now, I hear them now,” Palehound’s Ellen Kempner and Jay Som’s Melina Duterte sing over dirge-like instrumentation. Describing it as “a kind of lethargic muse on sexual regret and insecurity,” the duo revealed in a statement that the new track came together while they were filming the music video for “Doomin’ Sun” — the title track off their debut album of the same name, which dropped May 28th.
