After years of inactivity, Radiohead have reunited to announce a 20-date tour for late 2025.  The Oxford-formed band will perform across the U.K. and Europe — including a four-night residency at London’s O2 Arena — with shows in Madrid, Bologna, Copenhagen and Berlin in November and December. See the full run below. Tickets will only be accessible by registering on the band’s website. Registration opens on Friday (Sept. 5) at 10 a.m. BST and runs through until Sunday (Sept. 7) at 10 p.m. BST. The tickets will then go on sale to the general public on Sept. 12. Writing on the band’s Instagram, drummer Philip Selway said, “Last year, we got together to rehearse, just for the hell of it. After a seven-year pause, it felt really good to play the songs again and reconnect with a musical identity that has become lodged deep inside all five of us.” He continued, “It also made us want to play some shows together, so we hope you can make it to one of the upcoming dates. For now, it will just be these ones but who knows where this will all lead.” The dates will mark the band’s first gigs in eight years; their last live performance was on Aug. 1, 2018 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. Radiohead first teased the shows via a series of mysterious flyers, which were distributed around each city the tour is slated to visit. Radiohead have not released an album since 2016’s A Moon Shaped Pool, which they supported with an extensive world tour that included a Coachella headlining slot the following year. It became Radiohead’s sixth No. 1 on the U.K.’s Official Album Charts, and hit No. 3 on the Billboard 200.  A Moon Shaped Pool was the fifth Radiohead album to be nominated for the Mercury Prize, making the four-piece the most shortlisted act in the Prize’s history. It also received a Grammy nod for best alternative music album, while its lead single “Burn the Witch” scored a nomination for best rock song. In the following years the band have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (2018), but otherwise pursued numerous extracurricular projects outside of Radiohead. Drummer Selway and guitarist Jonny Greenwood have worked on a series of film soundtracks, as has frontman Thom Yorke. Guitarist Ed O’Brien’s has shared solo work as EOB, while bassist Colin Greenwood has collaborated and toured with Nick Cave. Jonny Greenwood and Yorke have also released music as The Smile, which they debuted during a livestream event held by Glastonbury Festival in May 2021. The Smile have released three full-length albums to date, the most recent being 2024’s Cutouts. During their hiatus, band members have spoken out sporadically about the future of Radiohead. In late 2024, Yorke made headlines when he told Australian outlet Double J that he “really doesn’t give a f–k” about reunion rumors. “I think we’ve earned the right to do what makes sense to us without having to explain ourselves or be answerable to anyone else’s historical idea of what we should be doing,” he added at the time. His comments followed a video interview between Colin Greenwood and Hay Festival Querétaro that took place last September, in which the musician revealed that Radiohead had been rehearsing together earlier in the summer. He explained that the band “did some rehearsals in London, just to play the old songs,” adding that “it was really fun, we had a really good time.” More recently, as Radiohead’s hiatus continued, “Let Down”, a track from the seminal 1997 LP OK Computer, entered the Billboard Hot 100 in August after rising in popularity on TikTok. In 2022, the song featured in the season one finale of the hit Hulu show The Bear, but has soared again online in recent months, with users enamored by its emotional feel. Here’s the full list of Radiohead’s 2025 tour dates:  Nov. 4: Madrid, Spain @ Movistar Arena Nov. 5: Madrid, Spain @ Movistar Arena Nov. 7: Madrid, Spain @ Movistar Arena Nov. 8: Madrid, Spain @ Movistar Arena Nov. 14: Bologna, Italy @ Unipol Arena Nov. 15: Bologna, Italy @ Unipol Arena Nov. 17: Bologna, Italy @ Unipol Arena Nov. 18: Bologna, Italy @ Unipol Arena Nov. 21: London, England @ The O2 Nov. 22: London, England @ The O2 Nov. 24: London, England @ The O2 Nov. 25: London, England @ The O2 Dec. 1: Copenhagen, Denmark @ Royal Arena Dec. 2: Copenhagen, Denmark @ Royal Arena Dec. 4: Copenhagen, Denmark @ Royal Arena Dec. 5: Copenhagen, Denmark @ Royal Arena Dec. 8: Berlin, Germany @ Uber Arena Dec. 9: Berlin, Germany @ Uber Arena Dec. 11: Berlin, Germany @ Uber Arena Dec. 12: Berlin, Germany @ Uber Arena Source link

Before this year’s MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday (Sept. 7), take a look back at the 41 videos that have secured the award show’s top prize — and see which one we deem the all-time best. 9/3/2025 Beyoncé – Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) Courtesy Photo MTV’s biggest night — and now officially Music’s Most Iconic Night — is just around the corner (Sept. 7), as the Video Music Awards come to CBS for the first time. Produced for the first time in a decade by longtime MTV exec Van Toffler, hosted by five-time Grammys steward LL Cool J, and featuring performances from a wide array of breakout stars and returning greats, the evening should be a memorable one — but for no one moreso than whichever artist gets to become the latest to take home the top prize for video of the year. The video of the year category has a storied but imperfect track record of honoring the all-time greats of the format, acknowledging Madonna but not Michael Jackson, Pearl Jam but not Nirvana, Kendrick Lamar but not Drake. Despite the many celebrated artists and classic videos ultimately denied the distinction, the all-time winners list remains a formidable canon of prime MTV fixtures, YouTube sensations and now even theatrically premiered short films — a list of names that this year’s nominees would all be more than happy to add theirs to. Will that list come to include a repeat winner, like Kendrick Lamar, Lady Gaga or The Weeknd? Perhaps a long-overdue first-timer, like Ariana Grande, Bruno Mars or Billie Eilish? Maybe a newer crossover star like ROSÉ, Sabrina Carpenter or Playboi Carti? We’ll see on Sunday, but before then, take a look back at Billboard‘s ranked list of the 41 videos that have already received MTV’s greatest honor — there’s not a total dud in the bunch, and at least a couple dozen that remain essential pieces of pop culture history years, if not decades later. Justin Timberlake, “Mirrors” (2013) Image Credit: Courtesy Photo “Mirrors” made Justin Timberlake just the second artist to ever win both the video of the year and the Video Vanguard awards in the same night in 2013, an achievement likely more about his overall career momentum at the time than “Mirrors” being a particularly great video. Which isn’t to say it’s bad: Floria Sigismondi gives its split romantic narrative an elegance befitting the stately midtempo ballad, but the pacing of the video never feels right and its multiple timelines never totally cohere into something you want to follow for a full eight and a half minutes. Katy Perry, “Firework” (2011) At the peak of Katy Perry’s pop ostentatiousness, “Firework” could rank as only the second-most-memorable video from the Teenage Dream era with explosive material shooting out of her chest. It’s a solid video with strong intent, but it lacks the gaudy panache that really made the visuals on this album cycle so iconic for Perry, and its straight-faced messaginess can get a little tiresome on repeat viewings. Green Day, “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” (2005) Green Day spends a lot of time walking that lonely road in “Boulevard of Broken Dreams”… and walking… and walking. Not a lot truly happens in “Boulevard,” as the band traverses desolate landscapes while director Samuel Bayer scratches up the film stock like his name was DJ Premier. It’s effective enough as the hangover back half of a two-parter with the more rambunctious “Holiday” but a bit unremarkable on its own; maybe they should’ve been nominated in tandem. Taylor Swift feat. Kendrick Lamar, “Bad Blood” (2015) The arguable centerpiece of the entire 1989 era, “Bad Blood” captures a moment in Taylor Swift’s megapop crossover where everything was about size. And so we not only get an entire fake Joseph Kahn-directed action flick, we get multiple Squads worth of cameos — everyone from Zendaya to Hayley Williams to Ellen Pompeo — as well as a drop-in from the hottest rapper of the time. The spectacle is dazzling, but the actual content is unwieldy; Swift’s blockbuster fantasies were obviously much better served by her own Eras Tour a decade later. Christina Aguilera, Lil’ Kim, Mya & Pink, “Lady Marmalade” (2001) Can’t fault “Lady Marmalade” for lacking star power; no other video of the year winner has even three lead artists to its credit, let alone four topline hitmakers (and a fifth cheering them on from the wings in co-producer Missy Elliott). There’s not a ton to remember about the video beyond the five of them, though; otherwise it’s basically just a more commercial for Moulin Rouge! than any trailer could ever hope to be. Miley Cyrus, “Wrecking Ball” (2014) Image Credit: Courtesy Photo Undoubtedly effective as promo, as the images of Miley’s close-up, tear-stained stare, her sledgehammer-licking and her nude riding of the titular item of destruction all became about as iconic as any pop visuals of the 2010s. Unfortunately, the first one doesn’t really go with the last two, as the video’s jarring vulnerability is undercut, not enhanced, by the provocations of its more salacious imagery — and the presence of the deeply problematic Terry Richardson behind the camera certainly helps little with that part of it. Taylor Swift, “You Need to Calm Down” (2019) Swift’s second video of the year winner is a mostly successful spin on the colorful camp aesthetic of Teenage Dream-era Katy Perry — down to Perry herself making a cameo, officially putting to bed any rumors of a lingering feud between the two 2010s superstars. But as “Bad Blood” previously demonstrated, Swift just isn’t at her best going so big and broad; some of the attempts at comedy fall flat and the video’s eye-popping color schemes feel a little visually exhausting by the end. Panic! at the Disco, “I Write Sins Not Tragedies” (2006) The surprise top-prize recipient at the 2006 awards, Panic!’s big win for its breakout hit arguably marked the high point of mid-’00s emo’s entire pop culture moment. It wasn’t

It’s well past midnight at New York’s Daylight Studio, and Cardi B is fighting to stay awake. Five hours into her Billboard photo shoot, a slight wardrobe malfunction with her black dress is prompting a quick timeout. “S–t, I got a wedgie,” she groans, dropping into her seat with a smirk. But like a true New Yorker, she toughs it out — chewing ice and cracking jokes like she’s headlining her own late-night set. Clutching a Chick-fil-A cup, she rattles off a story about the fast-food chain botching her order. Then she seamlessly swerves into her recent social media spat with WWE’s Naomi. A couple of days earlier, Cardi had hosted SummerSlam at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium — and in the run-up to the event, she’d threatened on X to shave Naomi’s head and use her hair as a wig. “I just be talking s–t because I know these b–ches can really fight,” she gags, eyes gleaming. Cardi’s jokes and swagger never clock out. But behind the antics, she’s focused — and eager to reassert her hip-hop dominance. Seven years after her Grammy Award-winning, multiplatinum-selling, culture-shifting debut, Invasion of Privacy, she’s finally ready to launch her next act with her long-awaited second album, Am I the Drama? “I’m really one of those artists that people ask for their albums the most every year,” Cardi says matter-of-factly. “I wouldn’t be confident if nobody asked me for my s–t. Imagine nobody asking for an album of yours? Imagine nobody asking for your music? That’s why I’m so confident.” She has only released one album, but Cardi B already boasts a Hip-Hop Hall of Fame-caliber résumé. She became the first female rapper to win best rap album at the 2019 Grammys. She has five Billboard Hot 100 No. 1s and 13 top 10 hits. She’s also the first female artist to have every track on an album certified platinum or higher by the RIAA. Along the way, Cardi evolved into one of music’s most sought-after collaborators, partnering with pop giants Bruno Mars and Maroon 5 for Hot 100 chart-toppers, as well as hip-hop upstarts such as Latto and GloRilla. “What’s special about Cardi is that she knows her audience, her fan base and how to stay relevant,” says Shawn Holiday, her manager at Full Stop Management. “She hasn’t put out an album in seven years, but she knows how to stay current because she knows how to do features that keep her in the marketplace. “GloRilla was a new artist at the time [they collaborated],” he continues. “Cardi didn’t care. She was really trying to empower other females in hip-hop. It wasn’t about the money for Cardi; she did it because she loved the song and knew she could add value to it.” While her music wins are undeniable, it’s Cardi’s triumphs outside of the studio that have solidified her legacy. Since releasing Invasion of Privacy, she has become a global brand force, securing partnerships with Fashion Nova, Reebok and Whipshots; her deal with NYX Professional Makeup culminated in a Super Bowl commercial in 2024. It’s hard to believe, given all this enormous cultural influence, that she still has yet to embark on her own headlining tour. “A lot of people say I got comfortable because I make money, but the most money I make is when I go and do shows,” says Cardi, who tweeted in 2022 that she’d netted $1 million for a 35-minute show at a private event during Miami’s Art Basel. “I could rush and put out music like it’s nothing and then pick up millions of dollars per show, but it’s not about that. I want the music to be great. I want it to be amazing.” Stephane Rolland dress and headpiece, Valentino earrings. AB+DM Cardi will finally hit the road in February when she embarks on her first-ever headlining tour. Produced by Live Nation, the arena run will hit more than 30 North American cities through April. “The market’s been waiting on a Cardi tour for a while, so we’re excited to be involved with her first headlining run,” says Mike G, her booking agent at UTA. “The strategy for someone who’s never headlined is first and foremost making sure she’s healthy on the road. We’re limiting the schedule to no more than four shows a week to give her the proper rest for the entire run.” Though international demand has surged, Cardi’s immediate focus is on this U.S. leg. “It’s like a domino effect when it comes to strategy,” Mike adds. “We’re very conscious of ticket pricing, what the market looks like and who would pay for a Cardi tour. Scaling and pricing are a very important thing for your first headlining run, but she’s been in the market for a while. We’re confident it’ll do extremely well.” With 23 tracks set to appear on Am I the Drama?, including two Hot 100 No. 1s — 2020’s “WAP” and 2021’s “Up” — Cardi’s aiming to prove it was worth the wait. Slated for release on Sept. 19, Cardi’s second act features a tougher storyline: Expectations are sky-high, her divorce from rapper Offset is pending, she’s raising their three kids on her own and she’s navigating the new Atlantic Music Group (AMG) regime under CEO Elliot Grainge. “Cardi B is synonymous with the excellence that has made Atlantic Records a historically significant record label,” Grainge tells Billboard. “She is a real vanguard and a groundbreaking career artist who continues to push hip-hop and popular music culture forward in surprising and inspiring ways. There is no one like her. We are fortunate to be in her orbit.” In June, Cardi released the album’s first single, “Outside,” a trunk-rattling track where she defiantly shakes off the shackles of her marriage and steps into singlehood. The song debuted in the top 10 of the Hot 100, a reminder that even amid chaos, Cardi can still storm the charts. But if “Outside” was Cardi coming out swinging, it’s the René & Angela-sampling “Imaginary Playerz,” released in mid-August, where her pen first draws blood. Jay-Z famously flipped

Noah Kahan married his longtime girlfriend in his native Vermont last month. According to a statement from a spokesperson, the 28-year-old “Stick Season” singer and his photographer fiancée were married, “in an intimate ceremony in their home state of Vermont on August 23rd.” In the statement, the rep added, “On behalf of the couple, who greatly value their privacy, we respectfully ask that no additional details, photos or video be shared publicly unless they choose to do so in their own time.” Kahan has kept his private life out of the public eye, with the couple who are rarely seen together making their first public appearance at the TIME100 event in 2023 after several years of dating; Billboard is not naming Kahan’s wife out of respect for her privacy. Though the singer has not featured his now-wife on his socials — and she has kept hers private — in the liner notes of the expanded Stick Season (We’ll All Be Here Forever) he thanked her for helping him through tough times on the road, writing, “To my fiancée, you’re the air I breathe, you are everything and whatever is left after that. I could spend the rest of my life thanking you for getting me through this, and I promise I will. I love you to the moon and back.” He also alluded to her in a 2024 Instagram post in a thank you to the friends and family who helped him through the hardest parts of the Stick Season tour. “I felt immense pressure and responsibility and tirelessly fretted over whether I would be able to bear it or whether it all happened by mistake,” he wrote. “I was cheered on through it all by my fiancé, by my parents and siblings, my incredible band, my management and the extraordinary crew of folks who all gave 2.5 years of their life to this magical sequence of dreams, this spiral of hotel rooms and dark basements and cramped event center hallways,” he continued. “I owe a great debt to all to them, I hope they can all feel my gratitude. I wish I could express it with proper clarity, but I am still hungover and whiplashed and filled with a wonderful vertigo.” Get weekly rundowns straight to your inbox Sign Up Source link

Just like the holiday season can’t really kick off until Mariah Carey says so, Lady Gaga is here to be your official spooky season ambassador. Mother Monster gave her Little Monsters something to (monster) mash about on Wednesday morning (Sept. 3) when she dropped the electro pop banger “The Dead Dance” from the soundtrack to season two of Netflix’s hit Wednesday series. The song co-written by Gaga with Andrew Watt and Henry Walter — and co-produced by the singer, Watt and Cirkut — has a bouncy 1980s electro pop vibe, propelled by funhouse keyboards and bright drum machine beats as Gaga muses about hoofing it to the end. “Yeah, I’ll keep on/ Dancin’ until I’m dead/Dancin’ until I’m dead,” she sings on the Thriller-esque chorus. Gaga has joined the cast of the hit Addams Family spin-off show, appearing alongside star Jenny Ortega, Emma Myers and Joy Sunday as new character Rosaline Rotwood. “Cuz when you killed me inside, that’s when I came alive,” Gaga sings in a verse that reverses the usual mortality curse. “And the music’s gonna bring me back from death/ I’m dancin’ until I’m dead.” The second part of season two debuts on Wednesday as well, a week after Gaga attended Netflix and Spotify’s “Graveyard Gala” in New York City, as part of the promotional Doom Tour for season. “It’s a part of the show, and I’m so excited for you to see it,” Gaga told the cheering crowd, adding that she had a “wonderful time” working on the show, shouting out star Ortega and director/executive producer Tim Burton. The soundtrack for the new season features an eclectic mix of artists and genres, from the Barry Lipman Singers (“Tropical Island”), to Sixpence None the Richer (“Kiss Me”), MAMAMOO (“Um Oh Ah Yey”), Bruce Springsteen (“Dancing in the Dark”), The Kinks (“You Really Got Me”), Roky Erickson (“I Walked With a Zombie”), R.E.M. (“Losing My Religion”), Dean Martin (“Ain’t That a Kick in the Head”) and Eric Carmen (“All By Myself), among many others. The official video for “The Dead Dance” will premiere at noon ET on Wednesday. Gaga’s Mayhem Ball tour continues on Wednesday night with her second show at Kaseya Center in Miami, before returning to New York for another run at Madison Square Garden on Saturday (Sept. 6) and Sunday (Sept. 7).

Jack Osbourne has two pointed words for Roger Waters: “f–k you.” The comment came in an Instagram post from Osbourne on Tuesday (Sept. 2) in response to a recent interview with the former Pink Floyd bassist and solo act who said he didn’t “give a f–k” about the late Ozzy Osbourne‘s solo music or that of his band, Black Sabbath. “Hey Roger Waters. F–k you,” Jack Osbourne wrote in his post. “How pathetic and out of touch you’ve become. The only way you seem to get attention these days is by vomiting out bulls–t in the press. My father always thought you were a c–t — thanks for proving him right [clown emoji.]” In an interview with The Independent Ink, Rogers was discussing the state of British politics when he said, “Ozzy Osbourne, who just died, bless him in his whatever state that he was in his whole life. We’ll never know. Although he was all over the TV for hundreds of years wit his idiocy and nonsense and… the music, I have no idea. I couldn’t give a f–k. I don’t care about Black Sabbath, I never did.” The comments from Waters, 81, came six weeks after Osbourne’s death on July 22 at age 76 of a heart attack, just weeks after performing for the final time at the all-star July 5 Back to the Beginning concert featuring tributes from Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Alice in Chains, Mastodon, Lamb of God and dozens more. Waters’ rant about Osbourne continued with another dig at one of Ozzy’s most infamous moments. “I have no interest in biting the heads off chickens or whatever they do. I couldn’t care less, you know,” he said, with the interviewer clarifying that it was a bat whose head Ozzy famously bit off, not a chicken. “That’s even worse, isn’t it?” The comments on Jack Osbourne’s post doubled-down on his Waters diss, with fans writing, “People have to ask who Roger Waters is, but no one has to ask who Ozzy is. Enough said,” as well as, “Your Father was The Best Judge of Character” and “disrespecting those who have passed away is a reflection of your character. Obviously Roger has none. God speed Ozzy! You are loved and missed.”    Source link

MTV is airing a new version of the New Radicals’ anthemic 1998 hit “You Get What You Give” as a promo for the 2025 VMAs. In the new version, original members Gregg Alexander and Danielle Brisebois trade vocals with New Zealand singer-songwriter Benee (“Supalonely”). The promo depicts various pop culture personalities passing the VMAs’ signature Moonperson trophy to one another. The lineup includes Paris Hilton, Steven Tyler, Nikki Glaser, Ciara, CBS Mornings’ Vlad Duthiers and LL COOL J. LL is slated to host this year’s VMAs on Sunday, Sept. 7. Hilton, Glaser and Ciara are set to present. The promo was the brainchild of Van Toffler, Gunpowder & Sky CEO, who is producing this year’s show. This marks Toffler’s return to the show following a decadelong absence. “Like a lot of my unrealistic ideas that hit at 3 a.m., I woke up with Gregg’s chorus in my head, called him at a ridiculous hour, and somehow he didn’t hang up,” Toffler said in a statement. “Now Benee’s belting with the New Rads as the VMA anthem – and if the 90s, 2000s, and 2020s can collide in one campaign, it’s proof that even decades later, music still finds new ways to connect.” The talent involved were also enthused about the collaboration. “Now is a bonkers time in the world, nothing seems real?!,” Alexander and Brisebois said in a statement. “So, when Video Music Awards visionary Van Toffler rang a few months ago asking if New Radicals would record a ‘Music in You’ duet with a future superstar, we thought we were hallucinating. … So here’s ‘Supalonely’ supastar BENEE with New Rads howling ‘You Got the Music in You!’ to honor Van’s demand. We had a blast making it and we hope you enjoy!” “You Get What You Give” made the top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 in January 1999 even though it wasn’t released as a commercial single. It reached No. 30 on Radio Songs and went top 15 on Pop Airplay and Adult Pop Airplay. New Radicals released only one album, 1998’s Maybe You’ve Been Brainwashed Too. Alexander disbanded the group in mid-1999 to focus on writing and producing songs for other artists. Alexander and Brisebois’ songwriting partnership continued, with the two receiving an Oscar nomination for best original song in 2015 for their song “Lost Stars” from the film Begin Again. Benee at the Billboard No. 1s Party held at the Keys on November 19, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. Gilbert Flores/Billboard via Getty Images Benee’s “Supalonely,” which featured Gus Dapperton, cracked the Hot 100 in early 2019. “I was so stoked to be asked to be a part of the project with New Radicals,” Benee said. “It was really cool working with Gregg and Danielle. They are incredibly talented songwriters, and it feels really special to be a part of reworking such an iconic song.” Hosted by LL COOL J, the VMAs are set to air live coast-to-coast from New York’s UBS Arena on Sunday, Sept. 7 at 8 p.m., ET/5 p.m., PT on CBS, simulcast on MTV and streaming on Paramount+ in the U.S. This year’s VMAs will be the first to air on CBS. Mariah Carey will receive this year’s Video Vanguard Award and will perform a career-spanning medley of hits. Busta Rhymes will receive the MTV VMA Rock the Bells Visionary Award, while Ricky Martin will be honored with the inaugural Latin Icon Award. MTV has also revealed details about the one-hour pre-show. Hosted by Nessa and Kevan Kenney with special performers KATSEYE, the pre-show airs live Sunday, Sept. 7, at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m., PT on MTV and BET, BET Her, Comedy Central, CMT, Logo, MTV2, Nickelodeon, Paramount Network, Pop, TV Land and VH1. Also, the VMAs Extended Play Stage moves in-show for the first time, spotlighting a trio of first-time VMA nominees: Bailey Zimmerman feat. The Kid LAROI, Lola Young and Megan Moroney. Lady Gaga leads the pack at this year’s awards with 12 nominations, followed closely by her “Die With a Smile” collaborator Bruno Mars with 11. Other top contenders include Kendrick Lamar (10), Sabrina Carpenter (nine), ROSÉ (eight), Ariana Grande and The Weeknd (seven each), Billie Eilish and Tate McRae (six each), Charli xcx (five), and Alex Warren, Bad Bunny, Doechii, Ed Sheeran, Jelly Roll, Miley Cyrus and Morgan Wallen (four each). Other key players on the 2025 VMAs team are executive producers Bruce Gillmer, Den of Thieves co-founder Jesse Ignjatovic, and Barb Bialkowski. Alicia Portugal is co-executive producer. Jackie Barba is executive in charge of production. Wendy Plaut is executive in charge of celebrity talent. Lisa Lauricella is executive in charge of music talent. Source link
