<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-06-07T22:04:24+00:00“>June 7, 2021 | 6:04pm ET It looks like it’s gonna be a hot Lorde summer. Four years after releasing Melodrama, Lorde has teased her return by updating her website with artwork for something called Solar Power. It’s unclear if it’s an album (Solar Power) or a song (“Solar Power”), but it’s definitely coming this year. “Arriving in 2021,” reads the caption. “Patience is a virtue.” Check out the artwork below. So many questions come from this one little image. When in 2021? We have to assume summer based on the beach imagery. But is it a song, an EP, or an LP? And also, where the heck is Lorde’s ring finger in this picture? Or her pants, for that ma...
Last month, Katy Perry sat down to meditate with a special companion — Pikachu. The video for her booming latest single, “Electric,” took the pop star and her Pokémon pal to the top of the Diamond Head Lighthouse in Honolulu to sing about finding the light within and following your dreams. The meaning is clear — the clip ends with the structure’s massive beam glowing brightly as Perry sings, “You’ve got the power now” — and as Perry told MTV News recently, it reflects the best of her anthemic sound. “They came to the right person if they want that empowerment moment,” Perry said. “Some people write only heartache songs or sexy songs or a combination. And my lane seems to be the ‘you can do it, ignite your light’ empowerment....

Now, the book is set to be adapted as a movie by MGM’s Orion Pictures. The film will be produced by Stacey Sher and Jason Kim, with Zauner providing the soundtrack as Japanese Breakfast. “It is a surreal thrill to have the opportunity to memorialize my mother in film, and I consider it of the highest honor to pursue that task alongside creative luminaries such as Stacey Sher, Jason Kim, and Orion Pictures,” Zauner said in a statement.

In a series of tweets this past Friday, the Irish singer revealed that she will be retiring “from touring and from working in the record business” starting immediately. Her upcoming album No Veteran Dies Alone, which she implied is already recorded, is due out next year and will serve as her final LP. “I’ve gotten older and I’m tired. So it’s time for me to hang up my nipple tassels, having truly given my all. NVDA in 2022 will be my last release. And there’ll be no more touring or promo,” she tweeted. “It’s not sad news. It’s staggeringly beautiful news. A wise warrior knows when he or s...

This time around, the singer gives the King Crimson guitarist an eyeful during their cover of the ZZ Top classic “Sharp Dressed Man”. The couple’s covers have always combined sexuality with comedy, and this one is no different, except for the fact that Robert “ain’t missing not a single thing” when Toyah pops open her “clean shirt” to bare all in front of the prog-rock legend, as he reacts with the all the expected facial expressions. As is the case with the pair’s previous several “Sunday Lunch” performances, the...

According to a report by TMZ, the “Traffic” rapper was taken into custody on the evening of May 29th after the police were called to his Chicago home following a heated physical confrontation with his girlfriend. The unnamed woman allegedly told police Reese had pulled her hair and struck her in the face with his closed fist — resulting in a visible abrasion to her lip — during an argument. While he was charged with a misdemeanor, Reese soon posted a $10,000 bond and was subsequently released from custody. His spokesperson denied the charge against him, saying, “That...

While many bands are preparing to hit the road again this summer and fall, some veteran acts may have missed out on their last genuine opportunity to play for their legions of fans. Unfortunately, according to guitarist Brad Whitford, Aerosmith may be one of those bands. As it was, 2020 was slated to be a big year for Aerosmith. The band was set to continue its “Deuces Are Wild” Las Vegas residency well into the latter part of the year, and was also scheduled to perform a massive hometown 50th anniversary show in Boston’s Fenway Park. The 50th anniversary con...
