Unpacking the New Songs on TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s The Chaos Chapter: Fight or Escape
Rising K-pop group Tomorrow X Together is continuing the story with their latest entry, The Chaos Chapter: Fight or Escape. Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Hueningkai are definitively in their emo era, doubling down with an extra heaping of angst on this repackaged version of their May release, The Chaos Chapter: Freeze. The members of Tomorrow X Together (often shortened to TXT) joined Consequence in May to discuss their musical journey. “It’s very different from the concepts we’ve shown so far,” Soobin explained. “We were able to work with many different sounds and genres for this album, which allowed us to grow as artists.” Advertisement Related Video Now, three months after the success of The Chaos Chapter: Freeze, which peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, the qui...
Low Want “More” From Life on New Single: Stream
Slowcore legends Low have been teasing their upcoming album HEY WHAT before it comes out in September with a string of new singles. Their latest preview of the record is “More,” and it might just be the best track we’ve heard from it yet. Stream it below. “More” runs out the gate with blistering distortion and blown-out fuzz that, despite their volume, are actually quite melodic and pretty. Alan Sparhawk’s guitar is emotive as ever thanks to that textural filter, and Mimi Parker’s timeless falsettos further draw out that airy feeling. “I saw more than what I ever sought,” she sings. “I should have asked for more than what I got.” It’s a dense two minutes, there’s no doubting that, but it goes by in a flash. Accompanying the Low song is a music video by Julie Casper Roth. The stop-motion cl...
Los Angeles County to Require Masks at All Major Outdoor Events
It’s been said that live music is back, but for more and more major cities, that promise comes with caveats. Today, in an effort to combat spiking COVID-19 cases, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health has issued a new order requiring attendees of any major outdoor event to wear a mask, regardless of vaccination status. This requirement goes into effect on Thursday, August 19th, at 11:59 p.m. As Variety points out, the easily-transmissible Delta variant of the coronavirus is now predominant in L.A. County (though a vast majority of hospitalized patients have not been vaccinated). This news follows orders issued last month, which reinstated a mask mandate for most indoor spaces, including concerts, restaurants, gyms, and more. With this new order, outdoor concerts and music fe...
Lorde Shares New Single “Mood Ring”: Stream
Lorde has today released “Mood Ring,” the third single from her forthcoming album, Solar Power. Watch the music video for the Jack Antonoff-produced track below. “Mood Ring” is full of references to practices of new age mental wellness, though Lorde notes it’s meant to be an “extremely satirical look at all of those vibes.” “Ladies, begin your sun salutations/ Pluto in scorpio generation,” she sings on the bridge. “Love and light/You can burn sage/ And I’ll cleanse the crystals.” Further explaining the song’s inspiration in a press statement, Lorde said, “This is a song I am very excited about, it’s so much fun to me. Obviously when making this album I did a deep-dive into ’60s, Flower Child culture. I wanted to understand the commune life, dropping out from society and trying to start aga...
Drake Had COVID-19, Says It Made His Hair Grow “Weird”

Eminem to Star as White Boy Rick in 50 Cent’s New Show BMF
50 Cent is working on a new TV series called BMF about the legendary Black Mafia Family for Starz. Today, he revealed that Eminem will join the cast as a guest star for arguably the most fitting role of his career: White Boy Rick, the infamous Detroit teenager turned undercover FBI informant. This is Eminem’s first TV part since he played a fictionalized version of himself in Entourage in 2010. He also had a role as himself in Funny People (2009), an uncredited cameo in 2014’s The Interview, and he made a prank phone call for Crank Yankers in 2004. Considering White Boy Rick’s pivotal role in taking down the BMF, this might be Eminem’s meatiest role since 8 Mile. BMF is inspired by the true story of two brothers from southwest Detroit who became one ...
Anderson .Paak Shares Picture of Tattoo Warning Against Releasing Posthumous Music
Everyone knows that some meetings could have been emails, but have you ever heard of a whole tattoo that could have been an email? Anderson .Paak has shared a picture of what is apparently some fresh ink, and it details across nine lines of all-caps writing that after his death, none of his music should be released posthumously. As Billboard, NME, and others have reported, the image appeared on .Paak’s instagram stories, though it was gone a few hours later and may have been deleted. If the photograph was real, then .Paak endured a couple of hours of pain, spent a few hundred dollars, and made a lifelong commitment to a message that really might have been a text to his lawyer. “When I’m gone, please don’t release any posthumous albums or songs with my name attached,” the tattoo r...
