“The juxtaposition of dancing while facing certain doom is what ‘Last Dance’ is all about. Like dancing through a Mad Max scene,” said Janeway in a release. “So naturally the video had to be a dance video. It was a pleasure to work with Machete Bang Bang and all the folks involved on this. I hope y’all enjoy.”  The Alien Coast was inspired by a range of Janeway’s influences, including Greek mythology and dystopian sci-fi. “The title actually came from reading about the history of the Gulf of Mexico, which is home for us. When the settlers — or invaders, really — first came to the Gulf Coast they couldn’t figure out what it was, and started referring to it as the Alien Coast. That term really stuck with me, partly because it feels almost apocaly...

If the pot is anything like the single, it’ll be a hit. Following its release in March, “Peaches” (featuring Daniel Caesar and Giveon) debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, the Billboard Global 200, and No. 2 on the Official U.K. Singles Chart. Its parent album Justice also blasted to the summit of the Billboard 200 chart. With offices in California and Nevada, Palms targets the high-brow who like to get high, with an ambition to “elevate the stereotypical ‘stoner’” experience. “Our goal,” reads a statement, “is to make cannabis more approachable and help destigmatize its use.” The joint venture lights-up just days out from the singer’s documentary, Justin Bieber: Our World. Directed by Michael D. Ratner, the new doc is set for release this Friday (...

In her sit-down with Cooper, Lady Gaga said that during the rehearsals leading up to the shows, Bennett did not call her by her name. She explained, “For the first couple of weeks that I saw Tony since COVID, he called me ‘sweetheart,’ but I wasn’t sure he knew who I was.” The “Born This Way” singer explained that in rehearsals she found new ways to connect with Bennett by asking simple questions, as the singer’s brain disease impacts memory. She says she would ask him if he wanted to practice one of his songs and he would easily respond. “When that music comes on [snaps fingers], something happens to him,” she said. “He knows exactly what he’s doing and what’s important for me, actually, is to make sure that I don’t get in the way of that.” But on the day of the performance, Bennett surpr...

Listen to a snippet of the duet from the band’s upcoming album.

Ratajkowski, 30, continues, “(The director, Diane Martel’s) voice cracked as she yelled out to me, ‘Are you okay?'” According to the excerpt, Martel confirmed Ratajkowski’s version of events, saying, “I remember the moment that he grabbed her breasts. One in each hand. He was standing behind her as they were both in profile. I screamed in my very aggressive Brooklyn voice, ‘What the f–k are you doing, that’s it!! The shoot is over!!’” Martel said that Thicke “sheepishly” apologized for his alleged actions and that she didn’t believe he would have done it if he’d “been sober.” The song and the video were both heavily criticized at the time for what detractors said was its blatantly misogynistic, sexist tone and objectification...
