Beck Goes Undercover As Young Paul McCartney in Trippy Deepfake ‘Find My Way’ Video
Beck goes undercover as a de-aged Paul McCartney in the mind-bending video for “Find My Way,” which employs controversial deepfake technology to swap the 51-year-old American alt legend into the body of the 79-year-old Beatle. The song from Macca’s remix album, McCartney III Imagined, comes to life thanks to director Andrew Donoho’s inventive visual, which uses technology from Hyperreal Digital, a company that specializes in creating hyper-real digital avatars. In the visual for the funk-tinged remake of the song from the McCartney III album, FauxCartney takes a number of trips down the same stripe-y hotel hallway, dancing, popping and locking his way through the space as it gets overgrown with greenery. “The technology to de-age talent and have them perf...
Darkside’s Dave Harrington & Nicolas Jaar on the Grief, Alchemy & ‘Psychokinetic’ Connection of New Album ‘Spiral’
“We had never written songs that way before,” he continues. “There was a piano in the house we had rented; we sat at the piano. I mean, this is songwriting 101 stuff, but because we’re both tinkerers and producers and electronics are so important to what we do, we hadn’t tried that as an entry point into our music before.” Spending an extended period of time together for the first time since the world tour behind Psychic wrapped in 2014, Jaar and Harrington spent a lot of time just talking, cooking and generally hanging out. “I remember most vividly,” Jaar recalls via email, “when we decided to go out into the yard just with a guitar and my phone to record voice notes. I remember Dave would always sit in the shade and I would sit in the s...
Grimes on Discord, Her ‘Space Opera’ & Being Right About the Future: ‘I’m Not Just Trying to Be Weird’
Discord – The Movie, which also included a cameo from J Balvin, is part of Discord’s recent “Imagine a Place” campaign reframing the once gamer-focused platform as a place where people with all sorts of interests can congregate — including artists and their fans. After a press preview of the film — and between burbling interruptions from her one-year-old baby — Grimes took a moment to chat about her strategy as an artist on Discord, her relationship with social media, how her upcoming “space opera” album differs from her last and her future plans in television and podcasting. Watch the short film below, and scroll on to hear from Grimes herself. How did you first become familiar with Discord? I actually learned about Discord becaus...
My First Show Back: Jxdn Makes His Live Debut at the Roxy
When COVID first happened, I got kinda robbed – along with a lot of other artists who were just starting – of the joys of just experiencing everything in person. I got to make the music and do all the liners and the videos and do the work, but I didn’t get to have the performances, which is like the joy out of everything. But I think that it gave me an advantage, ultimately — just because I had a lot of time to grow and figure out who I was as a person. If I would’ve started performing at the beginning, it would’ve been good, but it wouldn’t have been as good as it is now. I really found security in who I am as a person, and as an artist, and that translates when you perform. I just got the first gold record of my entire career, like a month ago, for “Angels and Demons.” And I have a...

Bop Shop: Songs From Normani, Ben Platt, Calicoco, And More
Atlanta’s Girlpuppy, a.k.a. Becca Harvey, makes music that you could comfortably slot next to Snail Mail and Phoebe Bridgers — the latter’s collaborator Marshall Vore even assists on Harvey’s debut EP, Swan, out on August 20. On “Miniature Furniture,” though, there’s a lightness that puts her in her own league. When she sings, “Maybe move to somewhere bigger / Chicago, Pasadena / ‘Cause I still can’t stand the cold,” doubled by her own close-tracked harmonies, it sounds as breezy as her appearance in the video: floating in a pool, unhurried, matching ennui with bright jangle. —Patrick Hosken You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

RONNIE JAMES DIO Hologram Is ‘On Hold’: ‘I Don’t Know If We’re Going To Do That Again Or Not,’ Says WENDY DIO
Ronnie James Dio‘s former wife and longtime manager Wendy Dio has revealed in a new interview with Ultimate Classic Rock that the hologram of the legendary metal singer has been put on the backburner. “The hologram is on hold,” she said. “I don’t know if we’re going to do that again or not. We went out, and we tried it — we did it. “There’s still talk about doing the hologram,” she continued. “I don’t know. I think that there’s so much more that’s come along developing-wise [as far as technology]. I just think that the fans would prefer to see Ronnie as being really Ronnie instead of a hologram.” Dio died in 2010 at the age of 67 from stomach cancer. The singer’s hologram was created by a company call...
