BTS’ Jungkook Joins Forces With Charlie Puth on “Left And Right”
Shortly after BTS announced that they were taking a hiatus to focus on independent projects, Jungkook has hopped on a new track with Charlie Puth titled “Left And Right.” The track, which arrived on Friday alongside a bubbly music video featuring the duo in a series of colorful outfits and sets, arrives off of Puth’s forthcoming album Charlie, scheduled to release sometime later this year.

Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine Will “Forgive” David Ellefson but “Won’t Play Music With Him Anymore”
Upon the announcement of Megadeth’s new album, The Sick, the Dying… and the Dead, frontman Dave Mustaine has opened up about last year’s ouster of longtime bassist David Ellefson. While Mustaine says it was a “hard decision,” he insists he “won’t play music with him anymore.” Ellefson was fired from Megadeth in 2021 when an embarrassing online sexual encounter between him and a young woman surfaced on social media. His bass parts for the upcoming album were subsequently re-recorded by Testament’s Steve DiGiorgio, while James LoMenzo has since been named as Ellefson’s permanent replacement. In a new interview with Metal Hammer, Mustaine discussed his decision to let Ellefson go from the band. “Let me just say this – it was a hard decision that had to be made,” said Mustaine. “There were a l...
Lil Nas X Says “Fuck BET” on “Late to da Party” with NBA YoungBoy: Stream
“Fuck BET!” With those words, Lil Nas X unveiled his new single featuring NBA YoungBoy, “Late to da Party.” The collab arrives amid Lil Nas X’s ongoing war of words with the network over his exclusion from being nominated at the 2022 BET Awards. Earlier this month, he accused BET of homophobia for the snub, though the network responded by placing the onus on BET’s unaffiliated Voting Academy for his lack of nominations. Ahead of the release, the rapper teased the song with a Star Wars-themed visual, complete with an intergalactic text crawl taking aim at BET that read, “NBA YOUNGBOY is on house arrest, trapped on the isolated planet HATU. The Brutal Empire of Terror (BET) has betrayed LIL NAS X, turning their back on him after using him for clout. With the music industry in turmoil, t...

In the visual, the Hollywood progeny finds herself staring out the window into the pouring rain before picking up her electric guitar and singing, “Met her at a party, I said, ‘She seems nice’/ Every time I thought about it I got butterflies/ And when it turned out we agree that she’s all right/ Never thought I’d be trippin’/ Off all the lost time/ That I said it was fine.” “It’s all too often in tender emotional states we try to blame our hurts on other people,” the singer said in a statement. “Even though none of us are perfect, in some capacity it’s us who allow ourselves to get into situations that don’t serve our highest p...
Eck Robertson, Whiny Fiddles and the Birth of Country Music Recording Sessions
When River House/Columbia Nashville released Luke Combs’ “The Kind of Love We Make” on June 17, the single employed a fierce lead vocal, two-part harmonies and around 10 different instruments, all apparent in their own clean, digital audio lane. The performance shows how far the country recording business has come in 100 years. On June 30, 1922, a pair of fiddlers — Henry Gilliland and A.C. “Eck” Robertson — held what is widely regarded as the first country recording session at Victor Studios in New York. They had no chance to overdub a bad note here or there, to correct poor pitch or to amplify one of the fiddlers later. They had to capture the entire three-minute performance in one sitting or start all over again, playing into a bell-shaped audio horn, with the sound’s vibrations transla...
