Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill” Hits No. 1 on UK Singles Chart
The Duffer Brothers have created four extraordinary series of Stranger Things in which the child actors have grown into young adults. In this latest series the characters are facing many of the same challenges that exist in reality right now. I believe the Duffer Brothers have touched people’s hearts in a special way, at a time that’s incredibly difficult for everyone, especially younger people. By featuring Running Up That Hill in such a positive light – as a talisman for Max (one of the main female characters) – the song has been brought into the emotional arena of her story. Fear, conflict and the power of love are all around her and her friends. I salute the Duffer Brothers for their courage – taking this new series into a much more adult and darker place. I wan...

The video, which was directed by Baby, sees the trio counting stacks of cash and flaunting their iced-out chains among an entourage of high-end cars. “Got a white girl like Mary Jane, tryna swing in like Peter Parker / Can’t blame him, that’s my son, he just doin’ the sh*t I taught him,” Baby raps. “On Rodeo in a Maybach, they think that that’s Rick Ross / Wanna f*ck me, she a broke b*tch, sorry boo, that’s a big, ‘Hell nah.’” Baby has been busy pumping out new music this year.

Kate Bush ran all the way to No. 1. Her resurgent hit “Running Up That Hill” has officially topped the UK Singles Chart on Friday, June 17th, nearly 37 years after it was first released.

Dawes Embrace Volatility on New Single “Everything Is Permanent”: Stream
This summer, Dawes will share their eighth studio album, Misadventures of Doomscroller. Before its release on July 22nd, the Los Angeles band has offered another preview today with the new single “Everything Is Permanent.” At nearly nine minutes, “Everything Is Permanent” gives Dawes plenty of space to push the envelope. What starts as an unassuming, yet pleasant earworm of a folk-rock number slows down into a dramatic, jazzy middle section, where vocals are replaced by an epic guitar solo. Just as you get comfortable in this mode, however, Dawes disobey the song’s title and switch things up again. In a press release, singer/guitarist Taylor Goldsmith explains that “Everything Is Permanent” refers to the fact that everything about and around us is documented in some manner. Even when thing...

From there, Montana raps from the back of a convertible, as the video transitions through a series of high-quality and VHS-style New York scenes. “Blue Chills” is the second track to arrive off Montega, following Montana and Frau...
