Yola Thunders Through “Stand for Myself” on Colbert: Watch
Here’s a morning pick-me-up stronger than a double espresso: Yola swung by Colbert and delivered a towering performance of her new single “Stand for Myself.” This self-empowerment anthem was advertised as being accompanied by Late Show bandleader Jon Batiste. While video evidence suggests he was indeed playing the piano, you’d have to tear your eyes away from Yola to notice him. That’s no easy feat; she commanded the stage in a dress as bright and red as the dawn, as her gale-force vocals swept up and down the register. By the end, the camera panned out to show the audience giving a standing ovation. Check out Yola’s “Stand for Myself” below. The track appears on her upcoming album of the same name, with Stand for Myself dropping July 30th on Easy Eye Sound. Earlie...

18 Most Commonly Misheard Song Lyrics
For 46 years now, Bruce Springsteen fans have disagreed over whether the opening lyric to 1975’s “Thunder Road” is “The screen door slams/ Mary’s dress sways” or “The screen door slams/ Mary’s dress waves.” On Springsteen’s official website and songbook, the word is “waves,” but as many have pointed out over the years, this doesn’t make much sense. (“Sways” rhymes better with “plays” than “waves,” and dresses don’t “wave in the wind,” they “sway in the wind.”) Either way, up until this point, the official record has mostly indicated that the dress waves. It would take nothing short of a thunderstorm to shake up the Springsteen status quo. Enter the Internet. After the New York Times’ Maggie Haberman tweeted a picture of an empty “Springsteen on Broadway” stage with the caption “The screen ...

Grimes, Alanis Morissette to Judge New Avatar Singing Competition Show Alter Ego
There’s a new singing competition show in town, albeit one unlike ever seen before on TV. FOX upcoming series, Alter Ego — a.k.a. “the world’s first avatar singing competition series” — is slated to air this fall, featuring Grimes, Alanis Morissette, will.i.am., Nick Lachey, and Rosci Diaz as its judges. Building off the sight-unseen auditions of The Voice and the completely-anonymous performances of The Masked Singer, Alter Ego will use motion capture technology to transform its participants into their “dream avatars.” “Alter Ego merges talent and technology to revolutionize the singing competition show in only a way Fox can do,” Rob Wade, Fox’s president of alternative entertainment and specials, said in a press release.

Willow Shaves Her Head During Rock Reboot of ‘Whip My Hair’: Watch
“When I made ‘Whip My Hair,’ I didn’t really know it was an important thing because I was just expressing my joy. I was just expressing myself,” Willow said during the concert special. “Young Willow was just so fearless.” She continued: “The core of ‘Whip My Hair’ is the core idea of all of my music. The genre just changes. But I’m saying the same thing every single time. For so many years, I just kind of spiraled and didn’t understand that and wanted to push myself away from that without having that understanding: I’m pushing away the very thing that is who I am.” “I want to be promoting positivity,” added Willow. “I want to be promoting expression. I feel like ‘Whip My Hair’ ...
Foo Fighters’ Debut as the “Dee Gees” Is a Fun Foray Into the Legacy of the Bee Gees
In a clip from his new Paramonut+ docuseries From Cradle to Stage, Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl tells Pharrell Williams that he ripped off old disco and funk songs when coming up with his drum parts for Nirvana’s Nevermind. And while his hard rock ethos has always been present, Grohl has been outspoken in the past about his appreciation for ‘70s pop, disco, R&B and funk. This time, however, the Foos are taking that appreciation one step further with Hail Satin, their debut EP as the Dee Gees, which is out today (July 17th) exclusively on vinyl for Record Store Day. Hail Satin sees the Foo Fighters taking on five classic Bee Gees songs (“You Should Be Dancing,” “Night Fever,” “Tragedy,” “Shadow Dancing,” and “More Than A Woman”) and bringing their own unique spin to them under a dis...
John Mayer Just Gifted BLACKPINK’s Rosé Her Very Own Pink Guitar
Rosé received a surprise package in the mail this week from none other than John Mayer. The Sob Rock singer-songwriter gifted the BLACKPINK idol her very own John Mayer model Silver Sky electric guitar — in rose pink, natch — to thank her for covering his 2006 hit “Slow Dancing in a Burning Room” last week on South Korean variety show Sea of Hope. (The guitar also appears to be the exact same model Mayer plays in the music video for his latest single “Last Train Home.”) “Rosé – I should be thanking you! (So thank you.) – John,” Mayer’s handwritten note read, which Rosé posted on her Instagram story with the caption “…….!!!!!!! Life is complete…… Ty @johnmayer.” Check out a fan-grabbed snap of the sweet gift below. Advertisement Related Video The K-pop star has made weekly appearances on Se...
Weezer Perform “Hero” on Good Morning America, Detail Upcoming Albums: Watch
Ahead of their upcoming Hella Mega Tour with Green Day and Fall Out Boy, Weezer stopped by for a guest appearance on Good Morning America. The rock band performed “Hero,” a single from their most recent album Van Weezer. Keeping in line with Van Weezer’s glam rock inspirations, Weezer’s GMA performance was adorned with plenty of flashy lightning imagery. In addition to the performance, frontman Rivers Cuomo chatted about how he’s spent the pandemic writing a whopping amount of new material. Just months after the release of Van Weezer and their album from last January, OK Human, Weezer already have four more albums on the docket for 2022. “I’ve had a lot of time on my hands, so I wrote four albums that we’ll put out next year called Seasons,” Rivers said. “Each album comes out on the first ...
Muse’s Matt Bellamy Used Jeff Buckley’s Guitar to Make an NFT
Those who’ve kept up with Muse at any point over their two-decade career know that they’re not really ones to hold themselves back, and that evidently applies to trending cryptocurrencies as much as their music. As previously reported, Muse frontman Matt Bellamy, a noted Jeff Buckley fan, purchased the late icon’s guitar, and now he’s using it to record music that he’ll be auctioning off as an NFT. The guitar in question is a 1983 blonde USA Fender Telecaster that Buckley wielded on his 1994 album, Grace. Bellamy plans to use it to record the next Muse record, too, but not before he utilizes it on his upcoming solo EP, Cryosleep. As Rolling Stone points out, three of the tracks from Cryosleep — “Tomorrow’s World,” and re-recordings of the Muse songs “Unintended,” and “Guiding Lig...
