Jamie xx Takes Us on Tour for His New “KILL DEM” Visuals
Jamie xx is keeping busy. Last month, the electronic DJ released his latest single, “KILL DEM” — an uptempo record that captures the energy of sound system culture, merged with gated vocal samples, heavy 808s, and a bouncy tempo that allows listeners to cast their minds back to summer raves and parties alike — and now the xx band member has released some accompanying visuals to go with the record. The video follows Jamie xx on his summer world tour where he landed in the U.S. to play at venues such as New York’s Forest Hills Stadium and Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.

Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news In support of his newly released album Error on Oct. 17, Chanhyuk took to the South Korean music television program Inkigayo to deliver one of the first performances of the LP’s lead single “Panorama.” But instead of bringing the synth-pop cut to life with a dramatic spotlight and onstage mirror like he did previously, the singer opened his performance sitting completely still in a chair and wouldn’t move until the cameras cut.

Ye Dropped By CAA Talent Agency, G.O.O.D. Music No Longer Signed By Def Jam
According to reports, the Holywood talent agency Creative Artists Agency (CAA) has now dropped Ye due to his recent anti-Semitic statements. A source has noted that CAA has ended its working relationship with the creative following the backlash generated by the anti-Semitic sentiments he has spread on both social media and in recent interviews. Additionally, other reports have also noted that Ye’s G.O.O.D. Music record label is no longer Def Jam Recordings. It is unclear if the split is because of his recent anti-Semitic statements, as Ye’s contract with the label expired following the 2021 release of 2021’s Donda. The news comes after Ye has seemingly emboldened a hate group to display signs furthering the anti-Semitic viewpoint on Interstate 405 in Los Angeles. Last week, the French mult...
