Village People have joined the presidential inaugural activities for Donald Trump. The group took to Facebook on Monday (Jan. 13) to announce that they have “accepted an invitation from President Elect Trump’s campaign to participate in inaugural activities, including at least one event with President Elect Trump.” They continued, “We know this wont make some of you happy to hear however we believe that music is to be performed without regard to politics. Our song Y.M.C.A. is a global anthem that hopefully helps bring the country together after a tumultuous and divided campaign where our preferred candidate lost.” Explore Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news The statement concluded, “Therefore, we believe it’s now time to bring the country together with music which is why VILLAGE PEOPLE will be performing at various events as part of the 2025 Inauguration of Donald J. Trump.” See the post here. According to The Hill, the group will perform at Trump’s “victory rally” at Capital One Arena in Washington, and at the Liberty Inaugural Ball. “Macho Man” and “Y.M.C.A.” were popular song choices at Trump campaign rallies during his 2020 and 2024 campaign rallies. In December, Village People’s Victor Willis doubled down on why he chose to let the president-elect play “Y.M.C.A.” at rallies and events, saying he “didn’t have the heart” to block the usage — despite originally asking Trump to stop in 2020 — upon realizing that the politician seemed to “genuinely like” and was “having a lot of fun” with “Y.M.C.A.” Plus, as Willis noted, the dance tune has only “benefited greatly” in terms of chart placements and sales since the twice-impeached former POTUS incorporated it into his campaign. Earlier in the day, it was revealed that Carrie Underwood will be performing at the presidential inauguration ceremony on Monday, Jan. 20, at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.. The eight-time Grammy winner will perform “America the Beautiful,” accompanied by The Armed Forces Chorus and the The United States Naval Academy Glee Club. She shared to Billboard via a statement, “I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the Inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event. I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future.” Source link

Beyoncé has postponed her much-speculated Jan. 14 announcement, citing respect for those affected by the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. The news comes after weeks of fan speculation that the “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer was preparing to unveil her Cowboy Carter tour, following a stunning halftime show performance on Christmas Day at the Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans game. In a statement shared on Instagram on Jan 13., the singer expressed solidarity with families and communities grappling with the aftermath of the fires, which have destroyed homes and displaced thousands. Explore Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news “The January 14th announcement will be postponed to a later date due to the devastation caused by the ongoing wildfires around areas of Los Angeles,” Beyoncé wrote. “I continue to pray for healing and rebuilding for the families suffering from trauma and loss. We are so blessed to have brave first responders who continue to work tirelessly to protect the Los Angeles community.” For those who wish to support wildfire relief efforts, Beyoncé encouraged fans to visit BeyGOOD’s page. “Love, B,” she concluded. The wildfires have deeply affected Beyoncé’s family as well. Her mother, Tina Knowles, revealed on Jan. 9 that her beloved Malibu bungalow—her “sacred happy place”—was destroyed in the fires. “It was my favorite place, my sanctuary,” Knowles wrote on Instagram, alongside a video of dolphins swimming near the home’s former location. Beyoncé’s announcement had been teased in December with a cinematic video shared on her social media. The clip featured the 32-time Grammy winner straddling a white stallion, swinging a large American flag in slow motion as a Western trumpet theme played over the sound of a stampede. The video concluded with the cryptic date “1.14.25” and the caption, “Look at that horse.” Though the video revealed no further details, fans immediately began speculating about a possible Cowboy Carter tour, a theory bolstered when Live Nation shared the teaser on its social media channels. The news follows a significant contribution from Beyoncé’s BeyGOOD Foundation, which pledged $2.5 million to assist families in recovery from the devastating California wildfires. In an Instagram post on Sunday night (Jan. 12), the foundation announced the pledge to the L.A. Fire Relief Fund aimed at helping impacted Los Angelenos in the midst of one of the most destructive wildfires in the state’s history. “The fund is earmarked to aid families in the Altadena/Pasadena area who lost their homes, and to churches and community centers to address the immediate needs of those affected by the wildfires,” read the post, which encouraged followers to show their support for the impacted families by visiting the organization’s website. Earlier today, The Weeknd announced he would be delaying the release of his highly anticipated album Hurry Up Tomorrow in light of the ongoing wildfire crisis. His album release show at the Rose Bowl, which had been slated for Jan. 25, has also been canceled. The hitmaker broke the news to fans Monday (Jan. 13) with a post on Instagram. “Out of respect and concern for the people of Los Angeles County, the Rose Bowl Show has been cancelled and the album date has been postponed to 01.31.25,” reads the message, which he signed, “With love, Abel.” Source link

Houston psych-rock trio Khruangbin have announced a new run of U.S. tour dates in support of their latest album, A La Sala. Announced on Monday (Jan. 13), the critically-acclaimed trio added an additional 25 dates to their 2025 schedule, with their North American shows launching in Grand Prairie, TX on Apr. 9. The group will travel across the country throughout April, May, and June, with headline dates planned alongside festival dates at the recently-announced BottleRock Festival in Napa Valley and Buena Vista Lake’s Lightning in a Bottle Festival. They’ll wrap up their current schedule with a return to the U.S. in September for an appearance at Louisville’s Bourbon & Beyond Festival. The newly-announced dates will also see the band joined by the likes of Helado Negro and John Carroll Kirby on select dates. Explore Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news Khruangbin return to the road with shows in New Zealand and Australia throughout February and March. They’ll return to Europe and the U.K in August, with headline dates and festival appearances scheduled to take place across the likes of Norway, Finland, Germany, and Turkey. The current run of dates appear to wrap up the touring schedule for Khruangbin’s fourth album A La Sala, which was released in April 2024 and peaked at No. 38 on the Billboard 200. Despite the record arriving 14 years into the band’s career, its release and critical reception was enough for Khruangbin to receive a nomination for Best New Artist at the 2025 Grammy Awards.

Travis Kelce may have accidentally dropped a Taylor Swift Easter egg. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end made an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on Monday (Jan. 13), where he was asked about being around his Grammy-winning girlfriend while she’s finding musical inspiration. “Let’s just say you’re hanging and out and having a little dinner and all of the sudden the creative juice sparks,” McAfee began, “and the absolute beast that you’re sitting with who is going to go down as maybe the most famous icon in the history of music … are you a motivator every single time?” Kelce responded that he would “never chime in” during Swift’s writing process, “but I’m here to support it. I’m here to see where it can go.” When McAfee suggested Swift might be working on an album about a “good” guy (joking that he’d heard about all the “f—boys” on previous albums, thanks to his Swiftie wife), Kelce cheekily said, “There might be a few.” “You know I can’t say, you know I can’t say… any of that,” he continued. “I hear music everywhere.” The superstar’s last album was The Tortured Poets Department, which was released back in April. Swift’s 31-track 11th studio album was No. 1 on the 2024 year-end Billboard 200 albums chart, followed at No. 2 by Swift’s own 1989 (Taylor’s Version), which was released in 2023. Tortured Poets outperformed all of her past albums on the Billboard 200 by spending 17 weeks at the top of the chart. The LP arrived amid Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour, which wrapped last month after 149 shows. Elsewhere in the new interview, Kelce talks to McAfee about his role in Adam Sandler’s Happy Gilmore sequel and how “bananas” the crowd was at the Eras Tour concert at Indianapolis’ Lucas Oil Stadium in November.

The upcoming Balloonerism record from late rapper Mac Miller is set to release alongside a short film of the same name, a new announcement says. Miller’s Balloonerism – the second posthumous album released since his 2018 passing – is scheduled for release on Friday (Jan. 17), though fans can ease themselves into the experience with its accompanying new film. Based on the lyrics and music of Miller, and directed by Samuel Jerome Mason, the animated Balloonerism “follows a group of school friends who are transfigured by the music of a chord organ and launched into a shadow world”, a synopsis of the film reads. “Swallowed by the turtle of time, they must plod through the underbelly of adulthood.” Explore Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news The film is scheduled for a Wednesday (Jan. 15) release throughout the U.S., with international fans receiving it one day later. A series of “One Night Only” advance theater screenings are scheduled around the world, including in New York City and Miller’s native Pittsburgh. Other screenings are planned for Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Ireland, France, Canada, and the U.K. In keeping with the theme of the new record, tickets are priced at $5 (or the “approximate equivalent in ex-US markets”) in line with the album’s lead single, “5 Dollar Pony Rides”. Miller’s Balloonerism album has been the subject of fan speculation for over a decade now, with the rapper having recorded it around the time of his 2013 album Watching Movies with the Sound Off and follow-up mixtapes, Delusional Thomas and Faces. Following the circulation of leaked songs amongst fan communities, the record’s official release was teased with a trailer at November’s Camp Flog Gnaw festival. “We believe the project showcases both the breadth of his musical talents and fearlessness as an artist,” they added. “Given that unofficial versions of the album have been circulating online for years and that releasing Balloonerism was something that Malcolm frequently expressed being important to him, we felt it most appropriate to present an official version of the project to the world.” Last week, “5 Dollar Pony Rides” was shared ahead of the album’s arrival and features Miller’s close friend and collaborator Thundercat helping out on the production side of things.

It’s been a while since Nine Inch Nails toured on a grand scale, but speculation is mounting for a global tour announcement to arrive soon following some leaked dates. Explore Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news News of a potential tour was first put forward on Monday (Jan. 13) when fans on the Nine Inch Nails subreddit began to share screenshots of what are ostensibly prematurely-posted Facebook events for the upcoming shows. In a thread titled “It’s happening (?)”, a fan shared a screenshot of an event which lists a Sept. 10 date for the Peel It Back World Tour to take place in Tampa, FL. Another user tracked down a Ticketmaster listing for the event which shows an on sale date of Friday (Jan. 17). Though these fans confirmed that the events were swiftly taken down following their listing on social media, a collation of the supposedly leaked dates featured shows scheduled for the likes of Brooklyn, Tampa, Atlanta, Raleigh, Philadelphia, and Cleveland throughout the U.S., along with dates in Manchester and London in the U.K., and a Canadian show in Toronto. Currently, none of the dates have been confirmed by the band, though the tour title alludes to Nine Inch Nails’ 1994 track “March of the Pigs”, potentially indicating the rumored tour could be an anniversary trek in support of the band’s The Downward Spiral record, which turned 30 in 2024. Nine Inch Nails haven’t performed live since the completion of their U.S. and U.K shows in 2022. Prior to that, their last concert tour took place across 2017 and 2018, with The Trilogy Tour seeing them play 69 shows across North America, Europe, and Asia. In recent years, the veteran industrial act (which comprises founding member Trent Reznor and – since 2016 – Atticus Ross) have been more focused on soundtrack work, which has seen them take home numerous Golden Globes, Grammys, and Academy Awards. In April 2024, Reznor noted that his work with Ross had left the pair eager to work on a new Nine Inch Nails album. “[Soundtrack work has] managed to make Nine Inch Nails feel way more exciting than it had been in the past few years,” he said. “I’d kind of let it atrophy a bit in my mind for a variety of reasons.” Ross added he feels, “excited about starting on the next record… I think we’re in a place now where we kind of have an idea.” Source link

“That’s So True” is Gracie Abrams‘ biggest hit yet, so far peaking at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming the singer/songwriter’s first-ever top 10 entry on the chart, as well as spending weeks atop the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart. And a big part of the song’s success — beyond high-profile performances on Saturday Night Live and her headlining The Secret of Us Tour — is its mile-a-minute lyrics, requiring repeat listens to decipher who she’s singing to (and about) and why she needs to go warn another woman. Below, find the full lyrics of “That’s So True,” co-written by Abrams with her best friend and collaborator Audrey Hobert. I could go and read your mindThink about your dumb face all the timeLiving in your glass house, I’m outside, uhLooking into big blue eyesDid it just to hurt me, make me crySmiling through it all, yeah, that’s my life You’re an idiot, now I’m sureNow I’m positive, I should go and warn her Ooh, bet you’re thinking, “She’s so cool”Kicking back on your couch, making eyes from across the roomWait, I think I’ve been there too What’d she do to get you off?

While “Lunch” was the lead single from Billie Eilish‘s most recent album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, the project’s second single “Birds of a Feather” has left a even bigger impression. The melancholy midtempo hit — which has so far peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 — got its biggest look when Eilish performed it at the closing ceremony for the 2024 Summer Olympics, playing the song from Long Beach in August to signal the Games’ handover from Paris to Los Angeles is 2028. The track closed 2024 as Spotify’s most-streamed song of the year and is nominated for three Grammys at the Feb. 2 awards show, including in two of the Big Four categories: record and song of the year. Below, find the full lyrics of “Birds of a Feather,” written by Eilish with her brother and longtime collaborator Finneas. (I want you to stay) I want you to stay‘Til I’m in the grave‘Til I rot away, dead and buried‘Til I’m in the casket you carryIf you go, I’m goin’ too, uh‘Cause it was always you (alright)And if I’m turnin’ blue, please don’t save meNothin’ left to lose without my baby Birds of a feather, we should stick together, I knowI said I’d never think I wasn’t better aloneCan’t change the weather, might not be foreverBut if it’s forever, it’s even better And I don’t know what I’m cryin’ forI don’t think I could love you moreIt might not be long, but baby, I I’ll love you ’til the day that I die‘Til the day that I die‘Til the light leaves my eyes‘Til the day that I die I want you to see, hmmHow you look to me, hmmYou wouldn’t believe if I told yaYou would keep the compliments I throw yaBut you’re so full of shit, uhTell me it’s a bit, ohSay you don’t see it, your mind’s pollutedSay you wanna quit, don’t be stupid And I don’t know what I’m cryin’ forI don’t think I could love you moreMight not be long, but baby, IDon’t wanna say goodbye Birds of a feather, we should stick together, I know (’til the day that I die)I said I’d never think I wasn’t better alone (’til the light leaves my eyes)Can’t change the weather, might not be forever (’til the day that I die)But if it’s forever, it’s even better I knew you in another lifeYou had that same look in your eyesI love you, don’t act so surprised Lyrics licensed & provided by LyricFindWRITERSBillie EIlish O’Connell, Finneas O’ConnellPUBLISHERSLyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group, Kobalt Music Publishing Ltd.

Streamer, rapper, producer, and engineer Plaqueboymax made news last week when he asked rappers Fivio Foreign and Lil Tjay to stop smoking weed during a livestream, which then led to the NYC rappers leaving early and a back-and-forth online. Explore Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news Over the weekend, Fivio posted a snippet on TikTok where he somewhat addresses the situation. “And my real name Max/And I really got plaques/Double digits, no cap,” he raps as Fivio references his real first name Maxie. “I’m the real Plaqueboymax, Plaqueboymax, Plaqueboymax, Plaqueboymax/I’m the real Plaqueboymax/ In the crib, countin’ all my plaques/Tell Kai Cenat react to that.” Now, yesterday (Jan. 13), Plaqueboymax reacted to the snippet on his stream and asked whether Fivio was “dissing” him or “shouting [him] out.” However, he smiled and took it in stride, although, he did admit that he would be hitting “not interested” whenever he comes across the song on social media. “Every time I hear this song, I will be hitting Not Interested, reason: other,” he confessed. ‘If they got harassment, I’ll click that sh—t. Y’all make sure y’all get this sh—t going, though. But not on my TikTok. This not For You page. Sorry. Can’t do it. No sir.” He then grew annoyed by fans in the stream chat suggesting that he should record a song dissing Fivio and Lil Tjay, but he revealed that he wasn’t interested. “Why do y’all wanna bring that side of me out?” he asked. “That’s a super negative side of me. I don’t give a f—k to diss neither of these n—s.” Adding, “The sh—t [Fivio] made, he’s dissing himself. He’s damn near dissing himself.” You can watch the full stream below. Source link

Soulja Boy went on a fiery Twitter rant — now X — over the weekend and even managed to sneak in a shot at Drake while tweeting about the devastating fires torching Los Angeles County. Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news “Time to disappear,” Big Draco wrote to X. “PS Drake u went out sad.” The 6 God diss seemingly came out of nowhere as Soulja was ranting about the Los Angeles evacuations and the imminent TikTok ban coming to the United States. He continued: “If they really remove tiktok then that means America is fucked… Whole LA burned down like it was nothing… I don’t know who needs to hear this but this world is evil.” It’s unclear what exactly Soulja Boy saw regarding Drake that set him off but fans speculated in the replies it was related to his “Fighting Irish” freestyle targeting LeBron James, legal action against Universal Music Group or tied to his blockbuster feud with Kendrick Lamar last year. Drake and Soulja Boy have seen their careers crossover at various points since they teamed up for “We Made It/Trophies” in 2014. Big Draco went viral during his 2019 The Breakfast Club interview where he claimed Drake copied him “word for word, bar for bar.” Soulja Boy expanded on his Drake explosion when he later joined Big Boy’s Neighborhood. He claimed Drizzy stole the first bar from his 2007 track “What’s Hannenin” for 2010’s “Miss Me” featuring Lil Wayne. “You gotta understand the timeline. In 2006 I was 16, an underground artist. [Drake] was still on Degrassi. I was really in the streets dropping fire,” he said. “He was watching me, copying me. So, when he got a deal and came out with his first big single he copied me and ain’t nobody know what he was copying. They thought that was an original Drake bar, quote… He stole my whole s–t.” Source link
