BTS Keep the Faith in New “Stay Gold” Video: Watch
While it’s easy to feel overwhelmed given the current state of affairs, BTS are adamant about remaining hopeful. That’s the advice they’re looking to pass along to their fans in the new music video for “Stay Gold”. In the clip, members of the beloved K-pop group are separated from one another, left to wander alone through dark and dreary spaces. Still, they keep their heads up, dreaming of one day being reunited for a sunny, puppy-filled afternoon. I won’t spoil the cute ending, but let’s just say their patience is eventually rewarded. Watch the “Stay Gold” clip below. The single is off BTS’ upcoming Japanese-language album Map of the Soul : 7 ~ The Journey ~, due out July 15th through Big Hit Entertainment.

Megan Thee Stallion Shouts Out Rihanna And Sasuke On Swaggering ‘Girls In The Hood’
As much as 2019 felt like Megan Thee Stallion‘s summer, mid-2020 has already yielded the ascendant Houston MC her first No. 1 single, a teeny new puppy, and new EP that hit the top 10. Now, it’s all about “Girls in the Hood,” her follow-up single to “Savage” that dropped at midnight on Friday (June 26). On it, Megan updates Eazy-E’s classic “Boyz-n-the-Hood” for the Instagram generation, rapping about stealing your man, asserting herself, and spending money. “I’m a hot girl / I do hot shit,” she raps, “Spend his income / On my outfit.” The song is two minutes and 34 seconds of pure, glimmering explicit shit talk from one of the top artists of her time, and it’s great, brimming with the hilarious bragg...
Victoria Monét Gives ‘All You Need,’ Dai Burger’s Runway Romp, And More Songs We Love
Nothing screams Pride quite as much as a song about love and resilience, so Vincint’s “Save Myself” makes the perfect anthem to celebrate this month. The song features a lively dance-pop beat superimposed with Vincint’s soulful, airy vocals, creating a song so decadently pop, yet sonically gorgeous. The personal lyrics encapsulate the feeling of finding independence within a relationship, defining boundaries, and wanting passion rather than needing help. It’s rare to find a love song that promotes such a healthy, fully realized state of mind. The single, released as part of Vincint’s debut EP, The Feeling, is accompanied by an adorable video, featuring fans singing and dancing to the song in their homes during quarantine. Since dancing in the streets won’t be possible this time around, dan...

The Rolling Stones Threaten to Sue Donald Trump Over Unauthorized Use of Their Music
The Rolling Stones have no sympathy for the devil. The legendary rock band is threatening to sue Donald Trump and his campaign over the continued unauthorized use of the band’s music. According to a statement released on Saturday, The Rolling Stones and the performing rights organization BMI have served Trump with a final warning to cease playing the band’s music at official campaign events and rallies. “If Donald Trump disregards the exclusion and persists then he would face a lawsuit for breaking the embargo and playing music that has not been licensed,” the statement reads. As BMI explained to Deadline, the Trump campaign has a Political Entities License which provides them with access to more than 15 million musical works in BMI’s repertoire. However, the license includes a provision t...
Song of the Week: BLACKPINK’s “How You Like That” Illuminates the Darkest Places
Song of the Week breaks down and talks about the song we just can’t get out of our head each week. Find these songs and more on our Spotify New Sounds playlist. A year ago, we were admittedly still trying to make sense of K-pop. We wondered how artists we had never heard of — or only recently came to know — were selling out arenas in record time. We tried to figure out what the deal was with those guys (BTS, btw) teaming with Lil Nas X at the Grammys. Finally, our own Alexis Hodoyan-Gastelum, a longtime K-pop fan and writer, broke it down for us: “K-pop is not a genre. A type of music? Sure. An industry? Yes. A musical scene? Definitely. But not a specific genre. Boom, now we can move forward.” Whether it was the bands, the fans, or the scope of the music itself, we were trying to fit some...
