Kelly Clarkson & John Legend Warn Ariana Grande to ‘Never Trust’ Blake Shelton in Hilarious ‘Voice’ Teaser
Shelton was kind enough to also welcome Grande to the show. “Hey, Ariana, it’s Blake and I wanted to say welcome to the show, officially on social media,” he said before dealing a blow. “They asked me to give you a piece of advice, but I could care less if you do well on the show. It’s my job to beat you.” Shelton’s video then cut to a clip of him saying, “I’m making it my mission not to lose in any way, shape, or form to Ariana” while sitting next to her in their chairs. Grande had a message of her own to her fellow coaches: “Thank you, guys. Thank you, Kelly, thank you, Blake, thank you, John for your amazing help and guidance. If I had one piece of advice to return, I would just say … watch out.” Watch the hilarious promo clip ...
Elton John Teams Up With Lil Nas X, Dua Lipa & More for New Collaborations Album
“The last thing I expected to do during lockdown was make an album. But, as the pandemic went on, one-off projects kept cropping up,” John said of the new album in a statement. “All the tracks I worked on were really interesting and diverse, stuff that was completely different to anything I’m known for, stuff that took me out of my comfort zone into completely new territory. And I realized there was something weirdly familiar about working like this. At the start of my career, in the late ’60s, I worked as a session musician. Working with different artists during lockdown reminded me of that. I’d come full circle: I was a session musician again. And it was still a blast.” One of the songs on the album, “Cold Heart (PNAU Remix)” with Dua Lipa, has a...

Meek Mill and Lil Uzi Vert Release New Track and Video “Blue Notes 2”
Meek Mill has teamed up with Lil Uzi Vert for a new song and accompanying music video titled “Blue Notes 2.” The music video, which dropped today, was directed by Kid Art and co-directed by the Philadelphia rapper himself. Featuring a dark blue visual effect overlay, Meek Mill and crew are seen riding on ATVs at night. Meek Mill discusses aspects of turmoil and the subsequent triumph that came from it: “All of my money is blue, riddle me this/I supposed to go get money, and keep doin’ favors and give all my money to who?” Lil Uzi Vert comes in later to reiterate the same sentiment: “Twenty-thousand at best, she ain’t dumpin’ me/I’m on point ain’t no b*tch out here runnin’ me/Lamborghini, the same color Bumblebee/Pull up Cullinan, same color, butter seats.” Meek Mill has been busy lately as...
Andy Shauf Shares New Single “Spanish on the Beach”: Stream
Andy Shauf has shared the new single “Spanish on the Beach,” and — big news for Shauficionados — it seemingly makes a reference to Judy, a recurring character from his excellent 2020 concept album The Neon Skyline. The stories of The Neon Skyline unfolded over one night, and while that record benefitted from such a limited scope, it meant that some of Shauf’s more expansive ideas landed on the cutting room floor. That was true of the B-sides he shared last summer, “Judy,” and “Jeremy’s Wedding,” and while it doesn’t sound like “Spanish on the Beach” was ever intended for Skyline, it does look at the Judyverse from a few thousand miles away. “Spanish on the Beach” takes place at an all-inclusive resort, as the narrator’s partner tries out a bit of Spanish. “I t...
Seinfeld Coming to Netflix in October
Festivus is coming early this year, as Seinfeld will be available to stream on Netflix starting October 1st. Netflix acquired the rights to all 180 episodes of the classic sitcom in 2019, but had to wait another two years before the show’s existing distribution deal with Hulu ran its course. Since June, Seinfeld has not been available on any streaming platform, but come October 1st Netflix will finally get its $500 million worth. “Larry [David] and I are enormously grateful to Netflix for taking this chance on us. It takes a lot of guts to trust two schmucks who literally had zero experience in television when we made this thing,” joked Jerry Seinfeld in a statement. “We really got carried away, I guess. I didn’t realize we made so many of them. Hope to recoup god knows how many millions i...

With a range of influences from classic alt-rock, underground hip-hop and melodic singer-songwriters, it’s no wonder he resists being put inside a box.

We’re keeping a close eye on him, you might want to do the same. “The new album features songs that I wrote over the last three years,” Chris tells us. “When I think about its theme, it kind of documents my journey through some chaotic high school days.
