Coco Jones’ ‘Sound Check’ Picks Prove She Has The Range
Coco Jones chooses between hits from rappers like Doechii and Doja Cat, alt bands, and more in this week's episode of Sound Check With Jeremy Hecht. While we've had some R&B singers before, even longtime fans of the actress-turned-hitmaker might be surprised by some of her choices. While Coco is best known for songs like "Other Side Of Love" and "Toxic," her tastes run the gamut of genres, proving she has the range. Here’s how it works: Jeremy plays two songs for the guest artist, who has to choose one and explain their choice, giving Jeremy a chance to learn…
Florence + The Machine Aim To Be ‘One Of The Greats’ On The Epic New Single
Everybody Scream, the first Florence + The Machine album since 2022's Dance Fever, is set to come out next month, on October 31. So far, we've heard the title track, and today (September 24), Florence Welch offers "One Of The Greats," an epic rocker made with Aaron Dessner and Idles' Mark Bowen. In a statement, Welch says of the song: "I don't really know how to explain myself with this one, it was sort of a long poem about the cost of greatness. Who gets to decide what that is? Why do I even want it? Why am I never…
Bartees Strange Pays Homage To Some DC Post-Hardcore Icons With ‘DCWDTTY’
The All Things Go festival is celebrating a decade with All Things Go: 10 Years, a benefit compilation benefiting Jack Antonoff's charity the Ally Coalition. Bartees Strange is doing his part by contributing a new song, "DCWDTTY." The track is inspired by DC post-hardcore icons Smart Went Crazy, specifically their song "DC Will Do That To You." It's not a cover, though, but a new song Bartees made with Antonoff. In a statement, Bartees explains: "One of my favorite songs from people in this part of the world is 'DC Will Do That To You' by Smart Went Crazy. Content-wise,…
Fridayy Toasts Philly’s Spirit With Rémy Martin V.S.O.P
Philadelphia has always been a city of grit and resilience. From the corner bodegas to the arena stages, that hustle mentality runs through its veins, and few embody that spirit like Fridayy. The Grammy-nominated singer, rapper, songwriter, and producer has already carved out his place on platinum records and hit collabs with DJ Khaled and Lil Baby, and landed hooks with Chris Brown and Swae Lee. He’s earned the attention, admiration, and respect of legends (JAY-Z, Drake) and from audiences worldwide -- a payoff following a marathon of patience and commitment to excellence that echoes the aging process of Rémy…
Coi Leray And Bktherula Flash Some Cash In Their ‘Pink Money’ Video With G Herbo
It looks like Coi Leray is gearing up for a proper return to the spotlight. After taking some maternity leave earlier this year, she delivered a stunning new single, "Pink Money," alongside Bktherula and G Herbo last week. And now, just a few days later, she's got a music video for the ballistic missile of a track, which finds her throwing ass and throwing cash at a strip club with her new compatriots. The biggest beneficiary of the song might not even be Coi herself, though. Bktherula has come a long way from the first time we wrote about her…
Indigo De Souza And Mothé Try Not To Overthink On ‘Serious’
Indigo De Souza is fresh off the release of her latest album, Precipice, in July. But, she has some more business to attend to. She expanded her tour, adding new shows with support from Mothé, and to mark the occasion today (September 24), they have shared a new collaboration, "Serious." In a statement, De Souza says of the song: "Serious is a reflection on overthinking -- and trying not to! Reminders to myself, and from people I love, to loosen the tight grip I’m often holding internally. Life is a heavy experience, so it’s important to make time for letting…
Camila Cabello Met A Fan And Promptly Sang A Special Song At Their Wedding
Camila Cabello's "First Man" has become a solid father/daughter dance song pick for weddings, since it sees her singing about the relationship between dads and their little girls. One fan who got married recently chose "First Man" for their big moment, but the day before, she happened to run into Cabello, who decided to turn up at the wedding and sing the song herself. In a video shared by a relative of the couple, Cabello explained the situation to the gathered friends and family, saying: "We were at our hotel yesterday, and I run into Kelli and her family, and…
Here Is Shaboozey’s ‘The Great American Roadshow’ Tour Setlist
Shaboozey is on top of the world following a 2024 that saw his smash single "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" become one of the most successful singles in Billboard Hot 100 chart history. He's been bringing the song to the stage lately, too, as he just kicked off the Great American Roadshow tour, starting in Indianapolis on September 22. The setlist (via setlist.fm) pulled almost entirely from Shaboozey's hit 2024 album Where I've Been, Isn't Where I'm Going. The only songs performed that weren't from that album were the Kevin Powers collaboration "Move On" (performed with Powers himself), a cover of…
A Four-Part Rave For Geese’s ‘Getting Killed,’ The Best Indie Album Of 2025
I. "I DON'T DESERVE THIS/NOBODY DESERVES THIS" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nT43dsYhw0k&list=RDnT43dsYhw0k&start_radio=1 Music critics like to do this thing where they point to an album or a song and declare, "This music captures how it feels to live in America right now." And, often, I make fun of this. And you probably do, too. It just sounds so foolish and pompous. Because it's almost never literally true. Art that aspires to capture "how it feels to live in America right now," 99 percent of the time, is terrible. If it happens, it's only by accident, which paradoxically undermines the allegedly definitive nature of the…
Cardi B Voices Hilarious New PSAs For New York’s Subways With The City’s Classic Catchphrases
Cardi B fans waited more than six years for her new album, Am I The Drama?, but commuters in her native New York will be getting to hear her voice all the time now. Cardi's teamed up with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to record a series of PSAs that will be played at subway stations across the city. The MTA posted an Instagram Reel following Cardi during the recording of the PSAs, which make clever use of the boisterous Bronxite's over-the-top personality and instantly recognizable wit. In one, she employs one of the Big Apple's signature catchphrases, cracking, "We’re walking…

Doja Cat Reveals The Cover For ‘Vie,’ Which She Also Defended From Fans’ Criticisms
Doja Cat is just days away from releasing her fifth studio album, Vie. After sharing the tracklist and lead single "Jealous Type," she's now revealed the cover art -- although apparently, it hasn't been as well-received as the other aspects of her rollout. Doja revealed the cover, which features a photo of the rapper/pop star suspended from a parachute stuck in a tree while wearing a wedding dress, on social media with a caption explaining the philosophy for the album. "Falling in love is putting trust in the hands of yourself and others," she wrote. "The yellow parachute represents curiosity,…
Daniel Caesar Howls At The ‘Moon’ With Bon Iver In His Latest ‘Son Of Spergy’ Single
Daniel Caesar is a month removed from the impending release of his fourth studio album, Son Of Spergy, and took the opportunity to share its latest single, "Moon" featuring Bon Iver. "Moon" is a wistful ballad about the angst he felt growing up under the strict parenting of the album's namesake. "Hit dogs will holler, I'll howl at the moon / I'm not who I wanna be at the moment / Maybe soon," he croons. "Someday I will leave your home / Be a man, I'll make my own And I'll set this wood on fire, you can't stop mе / There…

ASAP Rocky Calls His New Movie ‘An Anxiety Attack’ But He Has The Perfect Therapist: Jay-Z
Fans have been waiting a good, long while for ASAP Rocky's new album, but in the meantime, his acting career has been flourishing. He stars in two movies this year alongside screen veterans: Highest 2 Lowest, Spike Lee's Kurosawa remake also starring Denzel Washington, and If I Had Legs I'd Kick You with Platonic star Rose Byrne. In a new interview with Elle magazine, Rocky calls working on the latter movie "an anxiety attack," but fortunately for him, he has the perfect therapist: Jay-Z. "That whole f*cking film is an anxiety attack," he jokes, before admitting that he puts "therapists…
Is There Anything Dua Lipa Can’t Do?
Dua Lipa released her debut single 10 years ago. Her list of achievements in the decade since "New Love" is staggering: three multi-platinum albums. Five top-10 hits in the US; 16 in the UK. Twelve songs with over one billion streams on Spotify, including five with over two billion. One of the most-watched music videos on YouTube ever. Grammys. Brit Awards. A book club. A viral recipe. Until proven otherwise, it seems there's nothing Dua Lipa can't do -- including putting on a fantastic live show. I caught the final night of Dua Lipa's four-night residency of the Radical Optimism…

Ratboys Share ‘Light Night Mountains All That’ As They Announce A Big 2026 Tour
It's a new era for Ratboys, as the band just signed a fresh label deal with New West Records. They've also just returned with their first new music since their 2023 album The Window: Today (September 23), they released "Light Night Mountains All That," a new single. The band's Julia Steiner says of the song: "My original idea was to write an ultra-high energy folk song, in the style of The Dodos' Visiter, with somewhat spooky, mysterious, and pastoral lyrics -- like what Chris Otepka of The Heligoats might conjure up on a mushroom trip. This song really took shape…
Sabrina Carpenter, Who Just Released Two Albums Over The Course Of A Year, Is Still Writing ‘A Lot’
In a period that was just a few days over exactly one year, Sabrina Carpenter released two albums: Short N' Sweet in 2024 and Man's Best Friend a few weeks ago. Carpenter has done a lot of writing over the past 12-plus months, but she's still at it. In a new interview with Vogue Italia, Carpenter said: "I feel like I'm doing a lot of introspective thinking right now. I really want to do things intentionally and things that bring me life and give life and give those around me life. [...] I'm doing a lot of writing right now,…

The message reads in full: "After 14 years as a band and 12 years of consistent touring, we've decided to take a hiatus from playing shows, writing or doing anything as Foxing. It feels really scary to say that. This band has been completely inseparable from us as people for our entire…

Tyler, The Creator May Not Go On Tour Again After Completing His ‘Chromakopia’ Tour
Tyler, The Creator is wrapping up the overseas leg of his Chromakopia tour, but once he does so, it sounds like he may not be hitting the road again for a good, long while. While performing in the Philippines, Tyler hinted at a hiatus that could end up being permanent. "I’m excited to go home and think about if I’ll ever really tour again, because I’m fucking not 20 no more," he told the crowd in Quezon City. "I can’t lie to y’all.

Rising country star Bailey Zimmerman has a whole bunch of tour dates coming up in 2026. He's adding to that, too, but in a different, more football-oriented way. (The football connection is a natural one given that Zimmerman and Luke Combs' "Backup Plan" is ESPN's 2025 college football season anthem.) Today (September 22), Zimmerman announced a run of tailgate pop-up activations on college campuses. The Different Night Same Rodeo College Tailgate Experiences are tied to Zimmerman's tour dates and there's a lot to love about them.

Bad Bunny Destroyed An Amazon Music Livestream Record With His Massive Puerto Rico Performance
Bad Bunny has had a pretty major past week. He received more Latin Grammy nominations than anybody else for the upcoming ceremony. He was revealed to be hosting an upcoming Saturday Night Live episode. This past weekend, he also performed a huge Puerto Rico concert for the No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí: Una Más livestream, broadcast via Amazon Music. As an Amazon Music spokesperson tells Uproxx, the September 20 livestream was the most-watched single-artist performance on Amazon Music to date. The performance was the finale of Bunny's residency at Puerto Rico's José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum. The show, which included…
Cardi B Holds Nothing Back On ‘Am I The Drama?’
When you've held onto the follow-up to a beloved debut album like Invasion Of Privacy as long as Cardi B has, the pressure to deliver can not only be overwhelming, it can be debilitating -- understandably so. The hype train has no brakes: It simply picks up speed until it hits terminal velocity, but if you ride it out too long, it loses momentum and stalls out permanently. So, your options become one of three: Either you deliver, which is often the most difficult outcome to achieve, roughly akin to throwing a dart at a bullseye from 30,000 feet at…
