Damon Albarn And David Bowie Nearly Made Music Together Back In The ’90s
Over nearly three decades with Gorillaz, Damon Albarn has had the opportunity to work with a bunch of music icons. One of the ones that got away, though, was David Bowie. In a new Radio X interview, Albarn said, "I nearly made a record with Ray Davis and David Bowie back in the late '90s. That didn't happen." They also discussed getting in the studio with Dionne Warwick but that ultimately not going anywhere. Jamie Hewlett said, "She was in the studio on the piano with Damon saying, 'I'm not sure about the name of this album Demon Days. Why…
‘The Testament Of Ann Lee’: Everything To Know About Amanda Seyfried’s Historical Religious Drama
The United Society Of Believers In Christ's Second Appearing, a Christian sect better known as the Shakers, has quite the story. Today, they exist as a historical relic, as a mere three members remain as of 2025. Their past, though, is cinematic enough to get the movie treatment in the upcoming The Testament Of Ann Lee. The film focuses on Ann Lee, one of the religious movement's founders, and the story of her vision for the church. Amanda Seyfried stars, as do Lewis Pullman, Tim Blake Nelson, and more. Ahead of the movie's release, keep reading for everything you need…
Robyn Finally Unveils The Kinetic ‘Dopamine,’ Her First New Single Since 2018
In recent years, Robyn has popped up on new songs here and there, like that Jamie xx collaboration or Charli XCX's "360" remix, both from last year. As far as her own new songs, though, there haven't been any since the release of her 2018 album Honey. She appears to be launching a new era, though, as today (November 12), she has shared a new one, "Dopamine," a catchy dance-pop number that arrives alongside a video. In a statement, Robyn says of the song: "Everyone has a phone where they see their heart rate, and we're learning how to decode…
Cardi B’s ‘ErrTime (Snow Mix)’ Swaps Latto’s Verse For A Hard-Hitting Jeezy Feature
With winter coming just weeks away, who is better to help Cardi B bring in the snowy season than The Snowman? The Bronx bombshell's Am I The Drama? standout "ErrTime" already includes one Atlanta trap star in Latto, and today, Cardi released a remix swapping in one of the godfathers of Atlanta trap, Jeezy. The new version of the song (dubbed a "Snow Mix") finds Jeezy opening the song with a brand-new verse before sprinkling his signature ad-libs all over the chorus. "Slow and smooth ass criminal, Teddy P, Easy E / Got that billionaire status, Robert Smith, Gary Vee…
Wale Faces A ‘Diabolical’ ‘Sound Check’ Challenge With A Jay-Z Vs. Black Thought Battle
The ultimate compliment an artist can pay to the Uproxx Sound Check challenge is "diabolical." That's how Wale describes it in our latest installment, as the recent Def Jam signee faces down one of our most wide-ranging sets of song choices yet. 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 their musical taste. Jeremy then has to guess the artist’s life anthem, the song they’d take to a desert island, which the guest wrote down earlier on a piece of paper.…
Mandy, Indiana’s ‘Urgh’ Will Be Their First Album At Their New Label Home
UK noise rockers Mandy, Indiana had a critical hit with their 2023 debut album, I've Seen A Way. A new era is now loading: Today (November 12), the group announced a new album, Urgh, which will be their first release for their new label, Sacred Bones. They also shared the punishing single "Magazine." The group's Valentine Caulfield says of the song: "'Magazine' is the expression of the frustration and deep-seated violence I felt while attempting to recover from being raped. Just like most victims of sexual assault, I will never get justice, and just like most perpetrators, my attacker will…
Clipse Share Their Menacing ‘F.I.C.O.’ Video With Stove God Cooks
Clipse may have released their fourth studio album Let God Sort Em Out four months ago, but they're keeping the rollout going to ensure it stays top of mind of Grammy voters for Best Rap Album of 2025. Their latest effort to that end is the video for "F.I.C.O.," the tongue-twisting collaboration with Syracuse rapper Stove God Cooks. The visual strings together stark, black-and-white imagery in collage with clips of the duo rapping their aggressive bars from the backseats of cars and the backrooms of seemingly abandoned buildings -- exactly the sorts of places their grisly crime narratives would unfold.…
The ‘Oh. What. Fun.’ Soundtrack Is Full Of Holiday Covers From Indie Favorites
Holiday media is starting to roll out as we approach the middle of November. For instance, director Michael Showalter's Christmas movie Oh. What. Fun. is set to hit Amazon's Prime Video on December 3. It turns out that the soundtrack, which will be available the same day as the film, is pretty stacked, with covers of holiday classics from Fleet Foxes, St. Vincent, Jeff Tweedy, and many more. A bunch of the artists on the soundtrack shared statements. Here's Sharon Van Etten (whose rendition of The Pretenders' "2000 Miles" with her band The Attachment Theory is out now): “I connected…
Summer Walker Shared The Tracklist For Her Long-Awaited Album, ‘Finally Over It’
Summer Walker's mischievous Finally Over It rollout continues. After revealing the "guest list" of artists who will feature on the album -- from Brent Faiyaz to Sailorr -- Summer followed up just a few hours later with the tracklist revealing the song titles. Now we know which "guest" belongs to what song, and the excitement for Walker's third album couldn't be higher. The tracklist is broken into two parts, For Better and For Worse, mirroring the wedding theme that has appeared throughout the album's rollout. The cover art has Summer posing in a wedding dress alongside a much older white…
Following Radiohead’s Current Tour, One Video And Bootleg At A Time
There's a term I like that's common in the jam band world and (to my knowledge) nowhere else: "Couch tour." It means you follow a band's live shows, one by one, via livestreams or field recordings. Right now, I'm doing a couch tour with Radiohead's run of dates in Europe. Four of them took place last week in Madrid, and the remaining itinerary of 16 shows resumes this Friday in Italy. It's great. Radiohead, if you haven't heard, is a good band with good songs. My never-ending disappointment over not being absurdly rich flares up whenever I think about not…
BTS’ New Music Is ‘Coming Out Great,’ RM Says Ahead Of The Group’s Long-Awaited Comeback
2020 was a huge year for BTS. They released two albums -- Map Of The Soul: 7 – The Journey and Be -- and had three No. 1 singles -- "Dynamite," "Savage Love (Laxed – Siren Beat) (BTS Remix)," and "Life Goes On." Aside from a few more No. 1 singles in 2021, though, it's been mostly quiet since then as the band members have been busy fulfilling their military service requirements in South Korea. Their comeback is getting closer and closer, though. The guys have met their obligations to their country and had a bit of a reunion at…

SZA And An Iconic Los Angeles Resturant Will Provide 1400 Meals To Local SNAP Recipients
With federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program funds tied up in a political tug-of-war between opposing factions of the legislative branch, US residents are picking up the slack to help feed their neighbors. Among them: superstars like SZA, who is teaming up with a fixture of her adopted home, Los Angeles, to help feed local SNAP recipients.

YG, Mozzy, And Jay Rock Team Up For An Eye-Opening Red Bull Spiral Freestyle
Red Bull Spiral Freestyle is rapidly becoming one of pop culture's lightning rods, generating viral buzz as performers use the platform to start beef and prove their rap chops via its unique, one-take format. The latest artists to take spin on the Spiral are West Coast gangsta rappers YG, Mozzy, and Jay Rock. Besides being united by their shared affinity for the color red, all three have collaborated with each other at some point in the past decade or so, with YG and Mozzy joining forces on Kommunity Service in 2021, and Mozzy appearing on Jay Rock's last album, Redemption,…

Questlove Seemingly Confirmed That New D’Angelo Music Could Be Coming ‘Soon’
In October, the music world lost one of its most inspiring, revolutionary artists: Neo-soul pioneer D'Angelo. And while his passing left a hole in the tapestry of pop culture no name, face, or voice could ever fill, his prolific creative drive meant that there could be plenty of music left for him to share. D'Angelo's longtime friend and collaborator Questlove seemingly confirmed that his unreleased music could be coming soon this past weekend as he attended the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony. While on the red carpet, Quest was asked about the possibility of the release, telling…
FKA Twigs Is Anything But A ‘Predictable Girl’ In Her Cinematic New Video
Initially, Afterglow was intended to be a mere deluxe edition of Eusexua. Instead, the endeavor had evolved into its own project, now dubbed Eusexua Afterglow. It drops this week, but before that, FKA Twigs shared a new song, "Predictable Girl," and a video for it. The video, presented in an ultra-widescreen aspect ratio, sees Twigs riding a bike through a nighttime city and having some The Matrix-like slo-mo action moments. Twigs initially announced the new album on stage at Lowlands Festival in the Netherlands, saying, "New music -- I am full and abundant and ready to give birth. Her name…

‘Christy’: Everything To Know About Sydney Sweeney’s Intense Boxing Movie
Christy Martin's life story is fascinating. She was one of the most notable female boxers of the '90s and beyond, then, in 2010, she was stabbed and shot by her husband. Clearly, her life has been fulls of high highs and low lows, and the story is told in the new movie Christy. Sydney Sweeney stars as the boxer and she put her all into the performance: An anecdote that has frequently been shared is how Sweeney gained 30 pounds for the part.

Benson Boone Made A Great Self-Deprecating Joke After Not Getting Any Grammy Nominations
Last week, the nominations for the 2026 Grammy Awards were announced. (The ceremony is set to take place on February 1, 2026, live at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, broadcast via CBS and Paramount Plus.) At the 2025 Grammys, Benson Boone was nominated for Best New Artist (Chappell Roan won), but for the 2026 show, he didn't get any nominations. Boone is taking the lack of recognition in stride, though: On an Instagram Story post shared yesterday (November 11), he poked fun at his "Mystical Magical" lyrics, writing, "Can't believe moonbeam ice cream didn't get a Grammy nom it's literally…
Wet Leg’s Third Album Is Already ‘Done,’ Just Months After Releasing ‘Moisturizer’
Wet Leg just released a new album, Moisturizer, in July. There's no such thing as too much Wet Leg, though, so fans are already eager for their next LP to drop. They might not have to wait too long, it turns out, as it's apparently already finished. In a Radio X interview with the band's Rhian Teasdale and Josh Mobaraki (as NME notes), towards the end of the conversation, host John Kennedy asked if the band has made any progress on a new album, which would be their third. Teasdale said plainly, "It's done." The host, amazed, asked, “It’s done?!…

Summer Walker has been having a lot of fun with the rollout of her upcoming album, Finally Over It, now that she's revealed when it's coming out (this Friday, November 14th). The Atlanta-bred singer has gone all-in on the album's "marriage of convenience" theme, from its matrimonial cover photo to today's reveal on Spotify for its features, which takes the form of a reception seating chart. There's a long list of invitees, too, from Walker's fellow ATLiens, like 21 Savage and Latto, to a who's-who of R&B cousins with similar sounds, such as Mariah The Scientist and Sailorr. Considering the…
Goose Cap Off A Monster Year By Announcing A New Run Of 2026 Tour Dates
Times are good for goose-related indie-rock bands. Geese's Getting Killed is one of the year's best albums while Goose have been similarly crushing it, playing their first headlining show at Madison Square Garden this past summer.

This Is Lorelei (Nate Amos) is in the process of giving his back catalog some love. Last month, he announced Holo Boy, a collection of re-recorded songs from across his discography. We've Heard "Name That Band" so far, and today (November 10), he returns with the title track. The 90-second recording is a lo-fi rock quick-hitter. In a statement, Amos says, "'Holo Boy' was originally written in Chicago sometime in 2014 or 2015. I'm pretty sure it's the oldest song on the album and I'm pretty sure it's one of my favorites." Amos previously explained how he selected the songs…
