Post Malone Drops New Single “Motley Crew”: Stream
Just about this time last year, Post Malone hopped on a Tyla Yaweh track called “Tommy Lee” that happened to feature the actual Tommy Lee on drums. It’s clear Posty has a deep love for Lee’s band Mötley Crüe, as he’s now returned with a new single called “Motley Crew”. (See what he did there?) The song is Post Malone’s first solo release since dropping Hollywood’s Bleeding back in 2019. “I’m with the fast and furious/ We in the club, tearing it/ I got the commas, period,” he raps on the fresh track. “Covered in ice, Siberia/ I’m at the top of the pyramid/ Bitch I’m a star, I’m Sirius.” While the icy cut may be an individual effort, the accompanying music video finds him hanging out with — well, what can we say, it’s a motley crew. Set at a NASCAR racetrack which Posty spends some time turn...

Amy Grant Feels ‘Nothing But Gratitude’ for Blockbuster ‘Heart in Motion’ Album, 30 Years Later
Grant, who has won 26 Dove Awards, is credited with putting Christian music on the map as the first contemporary Christian artist to have a platinum record, the first to hit No. 1 on the pop charts and the first to perform at the Grammys. When she donned a leopard-print blazer on the cover of 1985’s Unguarded album and scored her first pop hit “Find a Way,” Grant’s move into mainstream music brought criticism from fans who felt she should stick to Christian music. Grant followed with 1988’s Lead Me On, which has been dubbed by CCM magazine as the greatest Christian album of all time, but she didn’t let public opinion sway her from developing a more expansive sound. Originally released March 5, 1991, Heart in Motion solidified her crossover success. The album received three Grammy nomi...

New Inclusivity Initiative Seeks to Eliminate Audio Terms Like “Master / Slave”
“Master / Slave” and “Male / Female” are terms that those in the pro audio industry are undoubtedly familiar with. The former refers to a communication protocol in which one device controls information (the Master) and another follows its direction (the Slave). “Male” and “Female,” on the other hand, are common terms for the topology of connectors of many kinds, referencing biological anatomy in relation to the shapes of certain cables and other apparatuses. But a new initiative by the Professional Audio Manufacturers Alliance (PAMA) seeks to make that type of terminology obsolete. PAMA’s members include some of the most recognizable names in pro audio technology, such as Shure, Sennheiser, and Audio-Technica, all of whom back the ̶...
