Breakout British Artist Tiggi Hawke Drops Emotive New Single, “High Season”
After embarking on her singer-songwriter career at the age of just 15, London-born artist Tiggi Hawke has evolved past her softly resonating melodic roots into a breakout creator. Today, her sound revolves around intensely personal lyrics and creative blends of pop and electronic music, best demonstrated by her deep house-inspired June release, “Electric Sun. With her most recent track, “High Season,” released on November 27th, Hawke continues in the electronic-centric style of “Electric Sun.” This time, however, she dives into the depths of bass music. Hawke’s sugary sweet vocals draw a sharp, compelling contrast to the single’s heavy, intensity-building downbeats and explosive drops. The blossoming Hawke described “High Season” b...

The Weeknd Receives Zero Grammy Nominations, Fans Left Befuddled
Source: NBC / Getty This week music’s premier association revealed their nominations and as always some folks were left with the struggle face. One performer’s fan base is making it clear that their favorite crooner was robbed. On Tuesday the 63rd annual Grammy Award nominations were announced. As spotted on Complex The Weeknd wasn’t slotted for one award. Given that his masterfully crafted After Hours was one of the best soul projects to be released this year, the lack of nominations was perceived as an obvious snub.

The Weeknd Speaks Out About Grammy Snub, Recording Academy Chief Responds
Source: ABC / Getty After officially announcing the nominees for the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards, the conversation among fans, critics, and industry insiders has circled around one notable absence —The Weeknd. On Tuesday (Nov 24), the National Recording Academy received an onslaught of tweets from fans and celebrities inquiring about a few of 2020’s most notable albums, including projects by Lil Baby among many others, but when it came to the snubbing of one of this year’s biggest artists, many artists and fans alike are asking “what happened?” Earlier this year, the Canadian-bred singer released his highly anticipated album, After Hours, unleashing one of 2020’s biggest commercial success stories, with more than 1.8 billion streams to date. Its second single, “Blinding Lights,” became a blo...
WOLFGANG VAN HALEN Says His Father Didn’t Want To Get Involved In Making Of MAMMOTH WVH Album: ‘He Didn’t Wanna Touch It’
Wolfgang Van Halen spoke to Big J of the 100.3 The X Rocks radio station about the upcoming debut album from his solo band MAMMOTH WVH. Tentatively due in early 2021 via Explorer1 Music Group/EX1 Records, the LP was preceded by the standalone single “Distance”, which was released on November 16. Wolfgang wrote the song while his late father, legendary VAN HALEN guitarist Eddie Van Halen, battled cancer, “imagining what my life would be without him, and how terribly I’d miss him,” as Wolfgang explained in a statement. Asked how long it took him to complete MAMMOTH WVH debut, Wolfgang said (see video below): “I’ve been working on it for years. I recorded it sporadically over the years, because my producer’s schedule was very busy. And I was als...
OBITUARY’s DONALD TARDY: ‘We Are Working Our Asses Off To Make A Monster Album’
During an appearance on the latest episode of “The Official Danko Jones Podcast”, OBITUARY drummer Donald Tardy confirmed that the band is working on material for a new studio album. “I’m super stoked on some of these new songs that we’ve got,” he said (hear audio below). “And 2021 would be fabulous if we had a release date, but just like everybody, especially nowadays where physical copies are very tough to sell and talk people into buying, the new album is really just that bait on the hook to really keep people happy to where when you need to get on tour, you can get out there and give them some new music and give them a new album to get their hands on, but also to obviously support you and buy a piece of merchandise and come to the show. “...
MAX CAVALERA: I Want To Make A ‘SOULFLY Record That Feels A Little Bit Like A Compilation Of My Whole Career’
Max Cavalera and his son Zyon have commenced the songwriting process for the next SOULFLY album, tentatively due in 2021. “This record, we’re actually working more together than ever,” Max told Pete Bailey of Primordial Radio (see video below). “And it’s really great, because I get to really explore the strengths that [Zyon] has as a drummer. He’s a very unique drummer — he has a lot of energy, and he’s mostly not really a technical drummer, but a very powerful, energetic drummer. And I want to really embrace that side of it. “My wish would be to make a SOULFLY record that feels a little bit like a compilation of my whole career, that goes through all the stages and showcases a little bit of everything,” he revealed. “So you have ...
DIAMOND HEAD’s BRIAN TATLER Says METALLICA Did His Band ‘A Huge Favor’ By Covering Its Songs
In the latest episode of “Tatler’s Tales”, DIAMOND HEAD guitarist Brian Tatler was asked for his opinion of METALLICA‘s cover versions of his band’s classic songs. “They’re great,” he said (see video below). “They’re always more powerful and a little faster than the DIAMOND HEAD versions. I mean, they’re a great band. They [have] their own sound. Of course, it was very flattering. The first song they covered was ‘Am I Evil’ They were the first band that ever covered a DIAMOND HEAD song. And it came out in 1984; it was on the ‘Creeping Death’ 12-inch single, which was on Music For Nations. And I was just really flattered that ‘Lars‘s [Ulrich] band’ had covered one of our songs and don...
Why A Revolution Will Never Happen In Nigeria
Why a revolution will never happen in Nigeria an article by Tony Ogunlowo We saw how the revolution led by the late Jerry Rawlings in the early eighties cleaned up Ghana and made it the promising nation it is today; we all saw how the Arab Spring Revolution of 2010 brought sweeping changes to the Middle Eastern countries and people are wondering when there will be a revolution in Nigeria to change things for the better. The stark – and sad – truth is that there will never be a revolution in Nigeria. The reason ? the lack of unity in the face of adversity or a lack of a uniformed voice. For a revolution to work everybody – the Northerners, the Southerners, the Rich and Poor, the young and old – all have to come together as ONE to demand change. This can’t happen in Nigeria: ...
Sammy Hagar: Van Halen “Kitchen Sink” Tour Would’ve Rocked Despite a “Not User Friendly” David Lee Roth
Sammy Hagar would have gladly participated in Eddie Van Halen’s planned “kitchen sink” farewell tour featuring all three Van Halen singers. However, he admits it would’ve been tough to share the stage with David Lee Roth. In a new interview with SiriuxXM’s Eddie Trunk, Hagar said that the proposed tour would have been a “dream come true”, but expressed some misgivings about sharing the spotlight with founding Van Halen frontman Roth, whom Hagar replaced in 1985. The band’s third singer was Gary Cherone, who replaced Hagar and sang on 1998’s Van Halen III. The Hagar versus Roth eras of the band have always created contention among fans, but Hagar himself finds Roth “not user friendly.” Despite some choice words, Hagar was otherwise positive about the idea of featuring all three singers. “It...
