Blondshell Offers Dramatic Devotion on New Single “Cartoon Earthquake”: Stream
We’re keeping our eyes and ears locked on Blondshell, the indie rock project of New York-bred, Los Angeles-based musician Sabrina Teitelbaum. She’s only officially released a handful of singles so far, but she adds another promising one today with “Cartoon Earthquake,” as part of Spotify’s Fresh Finds developing artists program. Sonically, Blondshell can be categorized as angry girl music of the indie rock persuasion, layering the bleeding hearts of ’70 singer-songwriters over fuzzy, sweeping guitars reminiscent of the ’90s. Lyrically, Teitelbaum specifically has a knack for writing about the nuances of love. On “Cartoon Earthquake,” Teitelbaum cheekily ponders the extent to which her partner would put their lives on the line to keep their relationship intact: “If a rock hit the...

Ari Emanuel Calls on Kanye West’s Business Partners to Cut Ties
Ari Emanuel is encouraging businesses that work with Kanye “Ye” West to pull their involvement with him following the rapper’s recent antisemitic remarks. In an op-ed for the Financial Times published online Wednesday, the Endeavor CEO wrote that West’s business partners, including companies that profit off his music — such as Apple, Spotify, Adidas and his touring partners — should stop working with the star. Emanuel also said that the parent company of Parler, which on Monday announced West’s planned acquisition of the right-wing social media platform, should refuse to sell it to him. “West is not just any person — he is a pop culture icon with millions of fans around the world,” Emanuel wrote. “And among them are young people whose views are still being formed.

Cardi B Hit With $5 Million USD Lawsuit Over ‘Gangsta Bitch Music Vol. 1’ Cover Art
Kevin Michael Brophy Jr. is suing Cardi B for $5 million USD over the cover art of her 2016 mixtape Gangsta Bitch Music Vol. 1, which sees a man seemingly giving the rapper oral sex in the back of a vehicle. According to reports, Brophy Jr. claims that the artwork “ruined” his private life, as the tattoo seen on the back of the man is actually part of a tattoo piece on Brophy Jr.’s back. It was revealed in court that a digital artist found the tiger and serpent tattoo on the internet and superimposed the body art on the model of the cover, replacing the man’s original cartoon-style back tattoo. “It looks like I’m giving oral sex to somebody that’s not my wife, somebody that’s not my partner, and an image that I never signed off on, ever,” he said.
