Aphex Twin’s Sister is Now Minister for Climate Change in Wales
You’ve heard of Aphex Twin, but what about the Aphex sister? Julie James, elder sibling of the electronic music legend born Richard James, has been making a name for herself in politics. After a three-year run as Minister for Housing and Local Government in Wales, she’s now that UK country’s first-ever Minister for Climate Change. James spoke about her life, her goals in office, and her famous brother in an interview with the BBC’s Walescast podcast. On the professional front, she said Wales needed to do twice as much to address climate change in the next decade “as we’ve done in the previous 30 years.” She added that the goal is for government to “put the conditions in place so that people aren’t sacrificing things in order to assist the climate.” James, who was born 15 years before her b...
Lollapalooza 2021 Live Gallery: See Photos of Foo Fighters, Megan Thee Stallion, Post Malone, and More
Over the July 29th-August 1st weekend, Lollapalooza returned to Chicago’s Grant Park for its 2021 edition — while requiring proof of negative COVID-19 status for entry. Day 1 saw headliner Miley Cyrus bringing out a parade of collaborators (Billy Idol, G Herbo, Whiz Khalifa, Juicy J, and The Kid LAROI); Tyler, the Creator performed CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST tracks during a wildly fun set on Day 2; legacy rock acts like Journey shared airspace with pop headliners like Post Malone on Day 3; and the fourth and final day was simply Un-Foo-Gettable. If you weren’t able to make it in person for the action, rest easy — you can relive Lollapalooza vicariously through Consequence’s thorough recaps of all four days and set photos, the latter of which were taken by Jen Vesp. Plus, for a behind-the-scen...
Iggy Pop Joins Måneskin for New Version of “I Wanna Be Your Slave”: Stream
Italian hard rockers Måneskin have been drawing a lot of attention for their rousing new single “I Wanna Be Your Slave,” which has racked up over 26 million views since it came out a few weeks ago. Now, they’re celebrating that milestone by teaming up with the one and only Iggy Pop for a new version of the song. “It was such an honor that Iggy loved our music and wanted to work with us,” said the band in a statement. “It was touching seeing him sing ‘I Wanna Be Your Slave’ live in front of us, it was very powerful to see such a big artist being so open and friendly. We all grew up listening to his music and he inspired us to start up a band, it’s still unbelievable for us that we had the chance to get to know him and make music together.” It seems like Iggy Pop is happy to hop on the track...
Taylor Swift Has A ‘Ruthless Game’ And Fans Are Stressed To Solve It
Looks like Swifties have been able to crack the code from the vault. Well, some of it, anyway. On Thursday (August 5), Taylor Swift cheekily posted a new teaser for her Red re-recording that included a red video of a vault revealing several words that need to be unscrambled. She seems to be having fun with giving her fans a puzzle, just being “casually cruel in the name of being honest,” to quote her famous heartbreak track “All Too Well.” She also included a follow-up tweet, stating, “Your next clue will be in the spot where you hear red…” Fans were quick to discover that the puzzle is a crossword, based on the “Red” lyric “a crossword and realizing there’s no right answer.” Upon unscrambling, they discovered the names Phoebe Bridgers, Chris Stapleton, and Ed Sheeran. Naturally, Sheeran w...
Aaliyah’s Catalog Is Finally Coming To Streaming Services
For years, the only way to stream the bulk of Aaliyah‘s music online was unofficial, as most of the late R&B visionary’s albums had been largely absent from streaming giants.

Other releases will follow chronologically: September 3 sees the 2000 Romeo Must Die soundtrack, on which Aaliyah appears; September 10 sees her 2001 self-titled release; and October 8 sees the compilations I Care 4 U and Ultimate Aaliyah, both released after her death in August 2001.

FINNEAS’ debut album is finally on its way. The eight-time Grammy winner has officially announced the release date for his first full-length studio effort, Optimist, and dropped lead single “A Concert Six Months From Now” in the process.

Aaliyah’s Albums Coming to Streaming Services Beginning August 20th
For several years now, Aaliyah’s uncle Barry Hankerson has promised that the late R&B pop star’s music would finally be uploaded to streaming services. This time, it’s actually going to happen. In an interview with Billboard, Hankerson revealed that all of Aaliyah’s music will be available on Spotify, Apple Music, and the like starting on August 20th. Technically, fans have had access to Aaliyah’s 1994 debut album Age Ain’t Nothing But a Number and a few early singles for a while now. But the majority of her catalog, including 1996’s One in a Million and 2001’s self-titled album, have been unavailable to stream this whole time. According to Hankerson, who owned the original Blackground Records and the majority of Aaliyah’s masters aside from her debut LP, that decision was in accordanc...

Singing Sensation Ria Sean Hits Double Dose Audio + Visuals For ‘Moneybag’ Off Forthcoming EP
Hot on the heels of her smash hit premiere single, ”Lemonade”, fast-rising Nigerian talent and Aristokrat Records’ singing sensation Ria Sean, who has been buzzing in the Nigerian underground for a while, releases brilliant new visuals to her sophomore single ”Moneybag”. While ‘Lemonade’ was a melodic sound that beautifully spoke of the ups and downs of relationships, ‘Moneybag” is the complete opposite where the fiesty artist is all about getting her paper. These two sounds, different in every way, are a part of the talented singer’s unique sound; a fusion of Afropop, R&B with Lo-Fi undertones; a clear testimony of her musical influences that include world-renowned artists Brandy, Chris Brown, Frank Ocean, to mention a few. Known by many as a vocal powerhouse and recognised for her un...
