Nova Twins Fight the Good Fight with the Genre-Bending Supernova: Review
Sometimes, the best art is born out of adversity, struggle and strife. Look at some of the greatest creative movements in history, for example. The protest songs of the ‘60s, the Harlem Renaissance — they come from times when pain, oppression and destruction were to no longer be tolerated by the masses. For UK’s Nova Twins, that adversity, struggle and strife was large scale — an intersectional pile on of racism, sexism, environmental decline, and the loss of rights. Their sophomore album, Supernova, tackles some of these issues from the opposite perspective, focusing on the reclamation of what’s been taken rather than the agonizing over what’s been lost. Instead of forlorn lyrics directly reflecting our many tragedies, the duo, Amy Love and Georgia South to be specific, create agency in t...

Every Song Ranked on Drake’s ‘Honestly, Nevermind’ Album: Critic’s Picks
The 6 God goes for seven. Nine months after Certified Lover Boy‘s momentous arrival, Drake delivered another album with Honestly, Nevermind on Friday (June 17). His seventh LP, Drizzy went against his usually well-calculated ways to announce the surprise album just mere hours before it landed on streaming services. Explore Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news The last time he pulled the surprise release was the critically acclaimed If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late in 2015. For once, Drake elected to keep his album shorter than his typically overstuffed albums with a modest 14 songs. Those expecting a rap album were sadly mistaken, as Drizzy leans on the house music scene and bars are a rarity outside of a few tracks. An expert collaborator,...
Charlie Puth And BTS’ Jungkook Have Cut a Collaboration ‘Left and Right’
Charlie Puth has recruited K-pop royalty for his next project — a collaboration with BTS’ Jungkook. Late Thursday, Puth dropped a viral video in which he rings Jungkook and offers the star some suggestions on how to sing “Left and Right”. “Hey man, what does it sound like when you sing ‘Memories follow me left and right,’” Puth enquires. Jungkook obliges. For his next test, Puth asks Jungkook to stand to the left of the mic and sing “I can be over here,” and then do it to the right. Not a problem. Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news “And it sounds like this,” Puth enthuses as he plays a cut. “This is gonna be crazy,” he adds. Puth also dangles a carrot. If the song accumulates 500,000 pre-saves, he promises to release it in full next Friday (...

Drake Drops Wedding-Themed Visuals for “Falling Back”
Hot off the release of his surprise seventh new album, Honestly, Nevermind, Drake has dropped a wedding-themed music video for the track “Falling Back.” The visuals see Drake return to his acting roots as he weds several women in an elaborate ceremony that also sees fellow Canadians Tristan Thompson make a cameo appearance alongside his mom Sandi Graham.

Tommy Lee Exits Mötley Crüe’s Reunion Tour Kickoff Five Songs into Set Due to Broken Ribs: Watch
It took Mötley Crüe six and a half years to return to the stage, but drummer Tommy Lee only lasted five songs during the band’s reunion tour kickoff in Atlanta on Thursday night (June 16th). Lee explained from the stage that he recently had broken his ribs and that he wouldn’t be able to continue the concert. In his place, Ozzy Osbourne drummer Tommy Clufetos stepped in to complete the gig. The fact that Clufetos was in the building likely meant that Lee probably knew he’d have a hard time finishing the set. According to Ultimate Classic Rock and fan video footage posted to Twitter (see below), Lee told the crowd, “We did it! You did it, we did it, we’re f**king here,” alluding to the fact that the Crüe’s co-headlining “Stadium Tour” with Def Leppard had finally kicked off after a two-year...
