How Rodeos And Farmers Markets Helped Gayle Find Her Voice
Her Instagram bio declares her an “emo alphabet girl,” but Gayle grew up making country music. Or at least, that’s where she started. At 17 years old, the Nashville-based artist still has many years of growing up ahead of her. But you wouldn’t necessarily know it from the cheekily titled “ABCDEFU,” her power chord-aided single that’s currently sitting at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The electric guitars that mark “ABCDEFU” help accentuate the kiss-off the chorus revels in — hint: focus on the final two letters in the title — and the raw emotion in the song likely helped its rise up the chart. That was bound to happen for Gayle, who kicked off her career in music at age 10 growing up in Dallas before relocating to Nashville and ...

Andy Shauf Shares New Songs “Satan” and “Jacob Rose”: Stream
Andy Shauf is continuing his hot streak today with two new songs, “Satan” and “Jacob Rose.” As per usual for the Toronto singer-songwriter, both songs are centered around his knack for poignant storytelling over pleasant melodies. While “Satan” is a subtly gorgeous acoustic number, its origins are much darker, inspired by Shauf’s upbringing in a strict evangelical household where he wasn’t allowed to participate in Halloween festivities. “The Christianity that I was brought up in said that believers went to heaven and non-believers went to hell,” Shauf said in a statement. “A sort of cartoon-like simplification of ancient texts. So with the lyrics of [“Satan”], I was trying to take this cartoon-like simplification of life (and death) and pair it with a cartoon-like version of this Christia...
Alice Cooper Thinks “Rock ‘n’ Roll Should Be Anti-Political”
Alice Cooper opened up in a new interview about his rather strong distaste for mixing music and politics. “I don’t ever talk politics…I hate politics. I don’t think rock ‘n’ roll and politics belong in the same bed together, but a lot of people think it does — because we have a voice, and we should use our voice. But again, rock ‘n’ roll should be anti-political, I think,” the rock veteran told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay. “When my parents started talking about politics, I would turn on The [Rolling] Stones as loud as I could. I don’t want to hear politics, and I still feel that way.” The “School’s Out” singer went on to refer to his live shows as “a vacation from CNN,” insisting, “I’m not preaching anything up there, and I’m not knocking anybody…That’s what was funny about it. If you’re in...
Pusha T Announces New Single “Diet Coke”
It was only a matter of time before we were going to hear new music from Pusha T given that he’s recently been spotted in the studio working with Kanye West and A$AP Rocky, and one of his forthcoming tracks also played in the background during NIGO’s inaugural KENZO runway show at Paris Fashion Week. And now, the Virginia Beach native has announced that his next single “Diet Coke” is dropping tonight at 12am EDT. The forthcoming tune is reportedly produced by Ye and 88-Keys, and music executive Steven Victor elected to share a small snippet of what appears to be its accompanying music video. The 13 second clip shows Pusha T and West in a black and white, the former of which is spitting bars as he raps, “The number on this jersey is the quote price / You ordered Diet Coke, that’s a joke, ri...
Kenny Chesney’s 2022 Here and Now Tour Gets Bigger With 20 Amphitheater Shows
Kenny Chesney is ramping up his Here and Now 2022 tour even more, adding 20 amphitheater shows to his previous 21 stadium shows set for this year. The tour, which launches April 23 in Tampa, Fla., at the Raymond James Stadium, now includes amphitheater stops in Alabama, Indiana, Maryland, Nevada, New York, Texas and more. His Here and Now 2022 tour will conclude with a long-standing Chesney tradition: two shows at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., this year set for Aug. 26-27. “There is something about amphitheaters that creates an immediacy that is so intimate,” Chesney said via a statement. “The energy is very different from a stadium show, and it almost opens the songs up in completely different ways. It’s pretty cool to feel that difference between the two kinds of venues, but I c...
