Courtney Love Says Johnny Depp Saved Her Life After 1995 Overdose
Courtney Love has credited Johnny Depp for saving her life after she overdosed in 1995 in Los Angeles. “I don’t really wanna make judgments publicly.

Alex G Announces North American Tour, Shares New Song “Blessing”: Stream
Alex G is entering a wild new era with “Blessing,” a new single that sounds like little else in his recent discography.

The lyrics are delivered in a call-and-response whisper, with Alex G beginning with the words, “Every day,” and waiting for the words “Every day” to be echoed back ...
