Shirt Reflects on the State of Art in New Single “Death To Wall Art”
Artist and musician Shirt is back with his newest single “Death To Wall Art.” Produced by Jack Splash, known for his work with Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole and Alicia Keys, the cut arrives just shortly after Shirt’s project with the New York Public Library and artist residency in a castle in Italy. “It’s nice to get a HYPEBEAST premiere but I have real issues with hype culture in general we can talk about that when you guys are ready,” he said. “‘Death To Wall Art’ relates to what Duchamp has called ‘retinal art’ – which is art that is purely visual.

Paramore Play “Misery Business” Live for First Time in Four Years: Watch
“Fuck it,” Hayley Williams told the crowd in Bakersfield, CA, before Paramore launched into their first performance of “Misery Business” in over four years. 2007’s “Misery Business” is often cited as the band’s breakthrough song, though they retired it in 2018 amid discussions about the #MeToo movement and the lyrics, “Once a whore, you’re nothing more/ I’m sorry that’ll never change.” Even before then, Williams had tried to rationalize that line by saying, “Those words were written when I was 17,” and explaining that she could no longer “relate to” the lines. But on October 2nd, at the very first stop on Paramore’s 2022 tour, the fans didn’t have trouble relating, judging by the enormous roar that went up from the Bakersfield crowd. “Four years ago, we said ...

I’m really excited. I’m nervous obviously, because being with Camila [Cabello], really, really good friend of mine. There’s that feeling of comfortability there where you can look across the stage and be like, ‘Girl, we’re in this together. We’re doing this.’ I’m not baring my soul alone on the stage. But now it’s going to be me baring my soul alone on the stage, and I’m just so grateful and so excited, but also s——g my pants slightly.” As she mentioned, the Hollywood progeny’s first turn in Stud...
