Lauren Jauregui Shows Her Own Colors
By Lucas Villa In the three years she has spent navigating the music industry as a solo artist, Lauren Jauregui has explored new sounds and discovered the strength in her struggles. On “Colors,” a gauzy and personal new song that ends with the 25-year-old reciting a spoken-word reflection, she reveals: “Creator’s watching, I know that much / Sat me down and told me to stop watching, start doing.” These lessons, coupled with a newfound determination, encompass her intimately vulnerable debut EP, Prelude, released on November 5. “I would say they’ve been very healing and introspective,” Jauregui says over Zoom about her solo years after her group, Fifth Harmony, went on indefinite hiatus in March 2018. “I’ve been very much in my own little cave of thoughts...

Phoebe Bridgers Takes MUNA to Prom Performing “Silk Chiffon” on Cordon: Watch
Phoebe Bridgers and MUNA put themselves on the prom court during a performance of “Silk Chiffon” on The Late Late Show with James Corden. A sea of pink balloons framed the stage, as MUNA stood in front of silver fringe curtain with the word “MUNA” spelled out in latex and helium. Vocalist Katie Gavin wore a flowing skirt and a tiara, though the skirt didn’t make it through the first verse before it was flung away. Bridgers stepped out of the wings before the second verse wearing a tiara of her own, and together they rocked through the irresistible track. Check out “Silk Chiffon” below. “Silk Chiffon” came out in September and we named it our Song of the Week. Both Phoebe Bridgers and MUNA are currently on tour. You can book tickets to see Bridgers here, and y...
They Might Be Giants on New Album BOOK and Heading Back on Tour: “Rest Assured, There Will Be Accordion”
Few indie rock bands can claim the sheer breadth, longevity, and sustained creative inspiration as They Might Be Giants, whose body of work spans nearly four decades, twenty-plus albums, and many hundreds of songs. John Flansburgh and John Linnell’s storied discography includes alt-rock hits (“Birdhouse in Your Soul”), college-rock classics (“Put Your Hand Inside the Puppet Head”), and the occasional TV theme (“Boss of Me”). Their new album BOOK (out Friday, November 12th) goes in another new direction: Its 15 tracks are available on their own, or accompanied by a large hardcover lyric book, featuring original art connected to the new batch of songs, as well as selected pieces from their last few releases. As always, the songs stand alone; this group is less ornate than some of the band’s ...

NNAMDÏ Announces New EP Are You Happy, Shares “Backseat”: Stream
Chicago singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist NNAMDÏ has announced his new EP, Are You Happy, out this Friday (November 12th) via Sooper Records. He also shared the new single “Backseat” as a preview. Production on the EP is handled by Chicago electronic artist Lynyn — the new moniker of fellow Monobody bandmember and longtime friend Conor Mackey — making Are You Happy the first project NNAMDÏ didn’t produce himself.

The off-kilter production of “Backseat” helps to showcase NNAMDÏ’s ability to transition between smooth R&B vocals and fast-paced rhymes. “Cranking up the gas at the drop...
Are BTS Getting Ready to Drop A New Album? A Brief Investigation
Buckle up, everyone: the biggest group on the planet seems to be gearing up for a new release. BTS may not have dropped a full-length album in 2021, but that hasn’t stopped them from breaking records and dominating the charts with their two singles, “Butter” and “Permission to Dance.” The Bangtan Boys have been a bit quiet lately — and sure, that could be because they just wrapped their Permission to Dance online concert, or because they’re preparing for their upcoming stint at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. This is the longest break BTS has ever taken between albums as the one-year mark approaches since the release of the tender, pandemic-era BE. Early 2020 also included the massive release of Map of the Soul: 7, so it’s been a while since fans had a full album to unpack. ARMY has...
Lamb of God’s Randy Blythe and DevilDriver’s Dez Fafara Back New Cryptocurrency Chakra Coin
Lamb of God singer Randy Blythe and DevilDriver frontman Dez Fafara have backed a new cryptocurrency called Chakra Coin. While many bands have been dabbling in crypto via NFTs, Blythe and Fafara have gone a step further, investing in a brand-new cryptocurrency. According to a press release, the Chakra Coin was designed to “foster community and invest in charitable causes.” It will be a fully community-owned “deflationary token,” which decreases in its market supply as time goes by and allows for passive income generation. This factor implies that users or the project’s team will participate in activities that reduce the coin’s supply on the blockchain (per Yahoo). Essentially, as the coin is purchased and traded, its value will increase, rendering profits that can put toward char...

Alanis Morissette Developing ABC Sitcom Inspired by Her Life
The Alanis Morissette renaissance is making its way to the small screen. ABC is developing a sitcom titled Relatable, which is loosely based on the family life of the ’90s rock legend. The single-camera comedy follows a 40-something woman, married with three kids, who spent her young adult life as an international rock star, famous for her self-penned anthems of female rage and teen angst. Now the “voice of her generation,” though deeply bonded with her family, can’t quite get the next generation living in her house to listen to her. Morrissette will pen original music for the show and serve as an executive producer, with her life “loosely” informing the writing and stories — though the characters will be fictional and non-biographical. Elizabeth Beckwith (ABC’s The Goldbergs) and showrunn...
