Lil Nas X thinks he deserved some of the Cowboy Carter treatment when he dropped “Old Town Road.” In a new interview with BBC, Nas said he was “happy” that artists like Beyoncé and Shaboozey are being celebrated for their country fusion forays, but wishes his music was also celebrated in the country space in the same way.
“I wish this would have happened for me,” he told the outlet. “I wasn’t even able to experience this.”

Camila Cabello has teamed up with Lil Nas X for “He Knows,” the latest single from her upcoming album.
Built around a sensual, driving beat, “He Knows” features Cabello paying homage to playing the game, as she sings, “He’s wrapped around my pinky finger/ Watching the way I move/ … And he knows it’s true/ When I play with him like that/ That he’s coming right back.”
For his verse, Lil Nas gets sexual, with interlocking layers of his voice delivering lines like “Let it rain on me/ He fucking up my headboard/ So I’m on my knees like dear lord please pray for me.” Today, the single arrived alongside a visualizer that appears to have been filmed while both artists were attending the 2024 Met Gala.

In January, A24 Music shared Paramore’s cover of “Burning Down the House” as the lead single from their forthcoming Talking Heads tribute album. Now, another teaser single from the compilation has arrived: Lorde’s cover of “Take Me to the River.”
Originally written by Al Green, “Take Me to the River” was a bit of an unlikely Talking Heads cut, since David Byrne was apprehensive about recording a cover. Nonetheless, the band’s 1978 version made it onto their album More Songs About Buildings and Food, and has since become a beloved slice of their inventive sound.
Lorde has accompanied her cover with a lengthy note in which she reminisces about her first time hearing Talking Heads and the impact it had on her creatively. You can read it in full below.

Bringing a stripped-down version of her Sos Tour to the grounds outside Dodger Stadium on Sunday night, Sza closed out Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival — the two-day music festival curated by Tyler, the Creator — with a stylish and soulful flourish.
The performance was a victory lap of sorts for the singer-songwriter born Solána Imani Rowel, her first since her nine Grammy award nominations — a record this year — were announced on Friday.
Pulling from her critical and commercial 2022 smash album Sos, her 2017 debut Ctrl and various other sources (her 2018 Black Panther soundtrack duet with Kendrick Lamar, “All the Stars,” plus covers of Dojo Cat’s “Kiss Me More” and Drake’s “Rich Baby Daddy”), Sza writhed in giddy delight, her voice as strong as ever. She even mounted a silver ball suspended in the air for her rendition of “The Weekend.”

Brockhampton founder Kevin Abstract has shared his third studio album, Blanket, out now via Video Store/RCA Records, it marks his first solo LP since the group announced an indefinite hiatus early last year.
To record Blanket, Abstract linked up with fellow Brockhampton member Romil Hemnani and multi-instrumentalist Jonah Abraham, the latter of whom is best known for working on Playboi Carti’s Whole Lotta Red.
In a statement, Abstract named the rock bands that influenced the project. “I wanted to make, like, a Sunny Day Real Estate, Nirvana, Modest Mouse type of record,” he said. “But I wanted it to hit like a rap album.” To help him achieve that sound, he tapped an appropriate crew of guest performers including folk singer-songwriter Kara Jackson, shredder Mj Lenderman, Scottish rock group Pilot, and Abstract’s returning collaborator Roy Blair.

Brockhampton founder Kevin Abstract has shared another new song, “Running Out,” from his upcoming solo album, Blanket, out Nov. 3.
The song finds Abstract continuing to explore the contours of indie and alternative rock, with a simmering lo-fi guitar riff that gives way to the uneasy keen of a synth. The song is moody and somber even as Abstract maintains his penchant for pop craftsmanship, especially with his melodic choices as he sings, “I really think you understand/I’m guilty, boy, in my grief/I really think you understand me...

(October 4, 2023) – After his surprise intimate performances in New York last night and Los Angeles last week, Kevin Abstract marks his official return to his solo career. With the release of his new single, “Blanket,” via Video Store/RCA Records, Abstract sets the tone for this next phase of his storied musical career. The single arrives with an accompanying video co-directed by Kevin Abstract and Cole Bat. “Blanket” serves as a taste for this new chapter of Kevin Abstract’s career and sees him breaking new sonic ground – a marked change from both his work in Brockhampton and his two solo albums to date. Fans who witnessed the full-band performances in New York and Los Angeles saw evidence that “Blanket” is not a red herring, but indicative of what’s to come from Kevin Abstract in this new era.

With Brockhampton done, Kevin Abstract is ready for a new era. On Wednesday, the musician released the single “Blanket,” a rocky, ominous track that features just a few lyrics with repeating yelps backed by a rocky guitar and drums.
Clocking in at less than 2 minutes long, “Blanket” seems to be the first taste of the new music from a rock album on the way. Abstract recently performed solo shows at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery’s Masonic Lodge and at Brooklyn’s Baby’s All Right, where he debuted the tracks on the upcoming record.

After teasing a new rock album at recent gigs in Los Angeles and New York, Kevin Abstract has released a new single, “Blanket,” marking the Brockhampton co-founder’s formal return to solo music.
On the track, Abstract alternates between whispering, “Memory, memory, memory,” and yelping over scuzzy grunge guitars, making it feel like more of a preview of fully fleshed-out songs to come. It arrives with an accompanying video Abstract co-directed with Cole Bat, in which the artist watches the end of the world on the news while surrounded by gigantic, fuzzy monsters. Watch the clip below.
In 2021, Abstract dropped a few solo singles, “Sierra Nights” with Ryan Beatty and “Slugger” featuring slowthai and $not, ahead of last year’s easy life collaboration “Dear Miss Holloway” and “Easy v2” with Baird. His last solo album was 2019’s Arizona Baby.

Exclusive: Jesús I. Valles’ play Bathhouse.pptx has been awarded the prestigious 2023 Yale Drama Series Prize, with the honor’s judge Jeremy O. Harris calling the new work an exploration of “a queer history that is quickly being erased.”
The prize for emerging playwrights, now in its 16th year, was selected from more than 1,500 entries. As is the prize’s custom, Harris, the author of Slave Play and a Yale alum, was the selection process’ presiding playwright, or sole judge. Previous judges have included Edward Albee, David Hare, John Guare, Marsha Norman, Nicholas Wright, Ayad Akhtar and Paula Vogel.
“This is one of the most exciting speculative fictions I’ve encountered in years,” Harris said, “using a unique dramaturgy to explore a queer history that is quickly being erased. It brought to mind the works of many heroes like Samuel Delaney, Martin Crimp, and Kathy Acker.”

From the Beatles to Odd Future, when a beloved, successful, and ceiling-shattering group parts ways, it always feels bittersweet. Since arriving in the early 2010s, Texas-bred alternative hip-hop crew Brockhampton have been one of rap’s most artistically and socially progressive groups. But considering their record-label woes, the 2018 sexual-assault allegations against founder Ameer Vann (who subsequently left the group), and the unruly creative climate of a relentlessly evolving, 13-member musical collective, the group’s breakup isn’t a shock. Still, on their final album, The Family, they’re going down...

It’s time to take it down a notch, right Easy Life? On Tuesday, the English indie band released their single “Ott” (abbreviation for “over the top”), featuring Benee, about wanting people to simply just chill for a second.
“The song deals with the concept of having one too many. There are people in all of our lives that need to calm the fuck down, this is their anthem,” the band wrote on Instagram. “You ought to keep it lowkey,/You’re too close to Od,” sings Murray Matravers on the track.

In the laidback, self-directed clip, the Brockhampton founding member and Beatty take a road trip around California, where they drive along the Pacific Coast Highway, and chill with friends and drop verses at gas stations. Towards the end, the duo hang out on a roof and soak in the star-light night sky.

Jack Antonoff has achieved a rarified ubiquity for a songwriter-producer. You can measure his prominence in Grammy Awards (five) and, to a certain extent, critics lists and charts, though for someone technically working behind the scenes, the best proof might just be the memes. Like this scrappy photoshop job of Lorde telling the Taylor Swift Evermore cover, “Mom said it’s my turn with the Jack Antonoff.” Or, the TikTok of three men tossing a child back-and-forth, which one Twitter user captioned, “Lorde, Clairo & Phoebe Bridgers passing around the Jack Antonoff.
