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

The Weeknd has delayed the release of his highly anticipated album Hurry Up Tomorrow in light of the ongoing wildfire crisis in Los Angeles. 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.” “The city has always been a profound source of inspiration for me, and my thoughts are with everyone impacted during this difficult time,” it continues. “My focus remains on supporting the recovery of these communities and aiding its incredible people as they rebuild.” Hurry Up Tomorrow, the highly anticipated third act of The Weeknd’s album trilogy — which began with 2020’s Billboard 200-topper After Hours and continued with 2022’s Dawn FM — had originally been slated to arrive Jan. 24. He had planned to celebrate the release the next day with a “One Night Only” performance at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena; the arena is currently being used as a donation collection site for L.A. residents affected by the fires, according to NBC4 Los Angeles. Fans who purchased tickets for the showcase through Ticketmaster will receive refunds automatically. Those who bought seats from a third-party reseller should reach out to their points of purchase. The Weeknd’s announcement comes about six days after wind-fueled fires first broke out in Pacific Palisades, rapidly traveling across the Los Angeles area faster than first responders could put them out. More blazes have since broken out in areas affecting the Hollywood Hills, Pasadena, Altadena, Sylmar and Calabasas, displacing tens of thousands of residents and burning down countless structures across a combined 38,549 acres, according to CNN. The news site also reports that at least 24 people have died in the destruction. The Weeknd’s concert is just the latest L.A. event to be canceled due to the fires. Multiple other shows in the area have also been removed from the calendar, as have a number of pre-Grammys parties. The Grammys are still expected to go live Feb. 2 at Crypto.com Arena, while the Critics Choice Awards have been postponed from Jan. 12 to Jan. 26. See The Weeknd’s announcement below. Source link

The tragic Los Angeles wildfires have left thousands of California residents devastated and The Game is stepping up to do his part in helping his city get back on its feet. The Compton native has spent the last few days delivering food, drinks and supplies like blankets to help the Pasadena firefighters tirelessly battling the blaze. “Me & my team have been down here with the brave men & women fire fighters on the grown day in & day out assisting anyway I can to make their days a little easier,” he wrote in a heartfelt IG post. “The hearts & level of humility in each & every soul down here is a beautiful thing to witness & be a part of. These fighters are coming from all over the city, state & country to help put an end to what has been a long week of catastrophic events caused by these fires.” Rocking a Pasadena Fire Department cap, Game posted several photos with the firefighters and carrying items such as pillows and coffee to assist the first responders as well as spread awareness for what citizens can do to help out. On Monday (Jan. 13), Game shifted his focus to an animal rescue mission where he looked to save abandoned pets and reunite them with their rightful owners. “Started day 5 on an animal rescue mission & it’s a miracle that some of these animals survived the fires seeing the aftermath of what occurred here,” he wrote. “Brought food & water in hopes they’d trust the team enough to get them to a nearby shelter where hopefully most of them can be reunited with their owners.” The 45-year-old posted an array of rescued animals ranging from dogs to cats and chickens in the Pasadena and Altadena areas. Fans appreciated Game’s philanthropy and saluted his generosity in the comment section for being one of the only celebrities to show up on the front lines. L.A. radio host Big Boy also showered Game with praise for being outside during a time of tragedy. “The Game is out there… I was reading the comments and it was so much positivity under that,” Big Boy said. “And if he can get someone else out there — just one more person out there, that’s beautiful.” Source link
