Future delivers the hook, "Mexicano, working like I'm Mexicano/ New persona, we're moving off of Ferragamo/Get the llama, I party with the real Madonna/ Beat the odds, do numbers and remain humble/ Drop top Porsches, I'm so used to this/ Smoking out the pound, I'm so used to this (uh)/ I know where I'm from and I got used to this (Lil Mexico)/ Mansion in the hills, I got used to this."

The song has a classic '80s R&B slow jam vibe to it. "Underneath the chandelier we're dancing all alone," Mars sings on the seductive jam. "There's no reason to hide, what we're feeling inside, right now.
"So baby let's just turn down the lights and close the door, oooh I love that dress but you won't need it anymore. No you won't need it no more, let's just kiss till we're naked, baby, Versace on the floor." Listen

The EDM track builds to a big bass drop even while the subject matter stays firmly in somber territory. "Why's it easier to burn than it is to heal?" XYLO� poses in the opening verse, turning philosophical momentarily before the duo unleash the more pleasurable rhythmic side of the track.
"Setting Fires" isn't quite as up-tempo as The Chainsmokers' big single "Closer," but it manages to convey the emotion which made that track so popular. "I can't keep you from harm/ But I'm set on fire to keep you warm/ I can't go on and on/ Setting fires to keep you warm," she sings on the chorus, which builds into a synth effect that weaves and wends around her voice.

Adele says her reluctance to confirm future tours is a matter of keeping her priorities straight. "My life is more important to me than anything I'm doing because how the f*** am I supposed to write a record if I don't have a life?" she wondered. "If I don't have a real life, then it's game over anyway." Read more

On his website, Sting wrote about the honor of being the first artist to take the stage after that terrifying night. He said he and the audience would have two things to reconcile.
"First, to remember and honor those who lost their lives in the attack a year ago, and second, to celebrate the life and the music that this historic theater represents," he wrote. "In doing so, we hope to respect the memory as well as the life-affirming spirit of those who fell. We shall not forget them." Read more

"I remember a moment when I looked at myself and I did not know who I was," Keyes revealed. "I actually wrote a list of all the things that I was, like, annoyed about.
"First thing on my list, I was annoyed at myself. I'm annoyed that you feel like you can't just honestly just be clear about what you feel, but you're so concerned about what everybody might think or take from it or who's going to be offended, that you can't even say your truth." Read more

"I don't need my music to be devalued by the worst quality in the history of broadcasting or any other form of distribution. I don't feel right allowing this to be sold to my fans. It's bad for my music. For me, It's about making and distributing music people can really hear and feel. I stand for that. When the quality is back, I'll give it another look. Never say never."

"It was from the fans all these years talking about the Rossington Collins Band days, and would I ever do anything like that with Dale," Rossington tells Billboard. Gary launched the Rossington Collins Band with fellow Skynyrd guitarist Allen Collins and other Skynyrd members in 1979, two years after the fatal plane crash that halted the band for a decade. The group produced two albums.
"After awhile of those meet-and-greets of people asking, we had a little time off a few years back, so we went in and did it and it was just spontaneous, quick," Rossington explains. "It only took a couple weeks of recording and a few overdubs, and we were done. It was such a fun thing to do, and our fans were asking us and some of the guys in the band even mentioned, 'Why don't you guys do something?' So we went in and did it, and that was it." Read more

McCartney conducted a Q&A fans on his official website (via Radio.com) and took on the topic of his biggest fears. He told fans, When I was a kid it was just getting beaten up by a local gang. You know, that was a purely physical fear. Where I lived it was a hard estate and there were guys who if you saw them you would just go to the other side of the street. Because you knew they would just say, 'Hey you, who you lookin' at?' And there was no right answer! 'You!' And they're coming at you! 'Not you!' And they're coming at you!"
He then revealed the impact of fear on his music career. "Performing, it was always the idea that the audience didn't like you and you had to prove yourself. I think that's why a lot of people get stage fright and get nervous. You think, 'Oh my god, I'm gonna be terrible, they hate me, and it's all terrible.' And so I think that was one of the earliest fears.
"I remember nearly giving it all up when we were doing a concert in Wembley - which was a Poll-Winners concert - in the really early days of The Beatles. And I remember feeling physically sick with a knot in my stomach thinking, 'I should give this up, this is just too painful, what am I doing?' I got over it. And as you can see I didn't give it up! So that's two different kinds of fears." Read the Radio.com report

"When I first wrote 'Me, Myself and I' it was with Lauren Christy, and it was on piano, and I knew it was something so special. Then I played it for G-Eazy in the studio and he heard it and he said, 'We have to work on this!' And it ended up becoming this massive record."
She says that not all collaborations work out so well, though: "Collaborations are a funny thing in the music business, because you never know what you're going to get. I've been in the room with a lot of other artists who have had a lot of hits, and sometimes it just doesn't work out. But sometimes there's a G-Eazy, or a Martin Garrix, with 'In the Name of Love,' and there's a magic that happens. It's like speed dating somebody. But when you get that perfect record, it's the best feeling in the world." Read more

The seven-minute long video shows a baby-faced Vedder standing outside Wrigley, fake crying because he's so excited to show the cameraman around. He never actually goes inside the stadium, but being a lifelong Cubs fan he knows all the ins and outs.
Vedder shows where players park before the game and greet fans, where bands set up to perform before each game and create a block party of sorts. He even comes across a mount of sod piled up outside one of the gates. He excitedly smells the grass. Discussing how integral Wrigley Field is to the neighborhood, Vedder says, "The fact is if you took this park out of here, it's part of the city. I don't know." Watch it

Forchhammer rides around in an antique car driven by no one. The haunting image is meant to evoke the presence his dad has even while he remains absent. A single tear builds momentum and threatens to drown Forchhammer in grief, even while he's surrounded by gorgeous women and success.
"You're not there to celebrate the man that you made/ You're not there to share in my success and mistakes/ Is it fair you'll never know the person I'll be?/ You're not there with me," he sings on the chorus. The video ends on a bleak note with a blindfolded Forchhammer making his way toward a cliff with no one to stop him because the person who needs to is no longer around. Read more

The film released its first official trailer on Thursday (Nov. 3) and it includes Underworld's "Born Slippy," which scored the iconic toilet scene from the original movie. That song underscores the first half of the trailer while Wolf Alice's bleak "Silk" underscores the second half.
In the trailer, McGregor's Renton is back chattering nonstop, giving an updated "choose life" monologue. He may be several years older, but it remains to be seen whether he's any the wiser in the years since audiences last saw him in Trainspotting. Watch the trailer

The two superstars danced around the mat at the Unbreakable gym on Sunset Strip, all in good fun. At one point, the 70-year-old swung and Lovato ducked the punch, then delivered a blow that sent him to the mat.
Stallone popped back up and said, "I slipped, I slipped, I swear it was an accident!" TMZ caught the whole thing on tape, so it must not have been any sort of publicity stunt. Read more

The Stones' "Paint it Black," Radiohead's "No Surprises," Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun" and the Cure's "A Forest." Even the artists themselves have reviewed these reinterpretations favorably.
"I loved Ramin Djawadi's interpretation of 'Black Hole Sun,'" said Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell. "It perfectly fits the mood of the scene, and reveals a duality that has always existed in the song." Listen to Djawadi's versions

In a 2015 interview, Vesely, who co-directed Chance's "No Problem" video, said he was inspired by George Saunders' CivilWarLand in Bad Decline, and that Slice takes place in an alternate universe with 'supernatural elements that people accept as reality," reports Pitchfork.

Lead singer Head Ned says: "When we recorded Howdilly Doodilly, our only goal was to make a record that was really brutalino." Speaking about the where the idea for the band came from, Ned previously told TeamRock: "The short answer is, we're just nerds who really like The Simpsons and metal, and thought this would be funny."

The music star bears a resemblance to the lead character, lends her voice to that track and appears in the visual. The video begins with an opening shot of Moana sailing her boat across the waters before cutting to Cara walking along a warm rocky beach (presumably in Hawaii where the film is set).
She draws lines in the sand, which turn out to be something far more significant once the camera pulls back and an overhead helicopter shot reveals just what she's been doing.
"See the light where the sky meets the sea/ It calls me/ And no one knows how far it goes/ If the wind at my sail on the sea stays behind me/ One day I'll know/ If I go there's just no telling how far I'll go," Cara sings on the anthemic chorus. Check out the new video
here.
The video finds the Zays and their friends throwing a major house party after moving into a quiet neighborhood. When two adults who live next door stop by to introduce themselves during the day, the Zays tell them not to call the cops if they have a noise complaint, but to call them.
The kids start out by partying on the lawn, each one showing off their interpretation of the song's dance moves, before taking things inside to a blacklight party that gets going. Things inevitably get out of hand, and once their daughter ends up at the party doing her best "JuJu On That Beat," the neighbors break their promise and call the cops.
But things don't exactly go as they planned. Once the cops show up, they immediately join the fun and start busting a move. Read more and watch the video

Before giving us some slight details about her new video for 'Slumber Party" with Tinashe -- it's like an Eyes Wide Shut theme -- she mentioned that she has 'ask permission from them" before she can post something of them. 'They're very funny about what I put out 'Mom we want this on Instagram, Mom this cannot go!" Check out her full interview
