Lil Baby Returns With The Moody ‘Try To Love’ Video
It looks like Lil Baby is ready to get back to work. Today, he released his first new song since the first quarter of 2025, "Try To Love." Its music video, which was shot in Morocco, finds a contemplative Lil Baby on vacation, with a gorgeous view and a lot on his mind. "Thought I found love in Chicago / But she didn't hit me back in the morrow / I guess all those words were just hollow / Thought I found in love in Atlanta / Until she went ghost like a phantom / I don't know why, I…
Holly Humberstone Is Ready For A New Era As She Shares The Atmospheric Single ‘Die Happy’
Holly Humberstone has been on the up-and-up over the past few years. In 2024, the UK singer-songwriter had her first-ever headlining tour of North America. Also that year, she opened for Taylor Swift for The Eras Tour in London. Those major events were preceded by her 2023 album Paint My Bedroom Black. Now she seems to be prepping another LP (although one hasn't been officially announced): Today (November 5), she shared a cinematic new single, "Die Happy." In a statement, Humberstone says of the song: “I wrote ‘Die Happy’ thinking about a fairytale at night, somewhere between driving fast with…

Bktherula’s ‘Sound Check’ Tests Her Wind-Ranging Music Taste With A Neo-Soul Vs. Dubstep Battle
Bktherula is one of hip-hop's most raucous and innovative talents today, so it's only right that the versatile New Yorker would stop by Sound Check to give our host Jeremy Hecht a diverse array of songs to test out her musical taste with. This week's episode sees Bk listening to classic psych-rock hits from Tame Impala and Pink Floyd, a soul vs. dubstep battle between Erykah Badu and Skrillex, Atlanta hip-hop fixtures from Outkast and Jeezy, and real yearner tracks from Mitski and Tyler The Creator. When it comes time for Jeremy to guess Bk's life anthem, it's a tough…
The 1975 Just Removed A Song From Streaming And Another Could Be Next
In recent days, The 1975 fans have noticed something different about 2022’s Being Funny In A Foreign Language: There's a song missing. When the album was initially released, between "Wintering" and "About You" was a song called "Human Too," which as of now has been removed from streaming services. Fans wondered what was going on and Matty Healy himself personally delivered an answer. On Reddit, Healy explained why the song is gone and revealed that the band may cut a song from Notes On A Conditional Form, too. He wrote: "Hey! Human Too was removed from the album so the…
Laufey Is Back In The Holiday Spirit With A Jaunty Rendition Of ‘Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town’
Laufey has left her mark on the holiday season over the past few years, starting with the 2021 release of A Very Laufey Holiday. Annually since then, she has added new recordings to the project. Last year, for instance, she recorded a version of "Santa Baby" that came with a video featuring Bill Murray. This year's addition is out today (November 5), as Laufey shares a rendition of "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town," the holiday standard first published in 1934. Laufey's performance is done in a classic vocal jazz style, a perfectly festive choice for the classic song. Listen…
Megan Thee Stallion Has Saved Rap On The Billboard Hot 100 Top 40 With Her Latest Raunchy Single
For the past couple of weeks, there's been a lot of chatter about a lack of rap songs in the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Since the publication changed the rules to promote more movement on the chart, a bunch of hip-hop tracks fell off after hanging out for truly ridiculous runs. But the hand-wringers and worrywarts can slow down their heart rates: Megan Thee Stallion has arrived to save the day. Her new single "Lover Girl" has brought rap back to the top 40 after a two-week absence, landing at No. 38 despite a less-than-enthusiastic reception…
Ask A Music Critic: What Was The First Great Indie Album?
Welcome to another installment of Ask A Music Critic! And thanks to everyone who has sent me questions. Please keep them coming at steve.hyden@uproxx.com. What do you consider the first great indie album? -- Scott from British Columbia Short and to the point. I like it! However, my answer will be anything but. First of all, while there aren't many words in your inquiry, the ones that are there are subjective. "Great," obviously, is in the eye of the beholder. But so is "indie." Does it describe a business situation, a specific sound, or merely a general vibe? Even "first"…
Geese Just Covered An Iconic ’90s One-Hit Wonder On The BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge
New Radicals' "You Get What You Give" is one of the great '90s songs, but it has also positioned the band as a one-hit wonder. (Singer Gregg Alexander has avoided that fate personally, however, as he co-wrote Sophie Ellis-Bextor's "Murder On The Dancefloor," as well as Santana and Michelle Branch's Grammy-winning 2002 collaboration "The Game Of Love.") The song continues to re-emerge, though. It regularly pops up on TV and in movies, and the band reunited to perform it at Joe Biden's inaugural parade in 2021. Now, Geese have once again brought the song to the forefront by covering it…
Here Is Radiohead’s 2025 Comeback Tour Setlist
It finally happened: Radiohead just performed live for the first time since 2018. They announced the comeback tour in September and it kicked off in Madrid, Spain last night (November 4). Notably, they opened the show with "Let Down," the now-viral hit that Thom Yorke didn't even want on OK Computer. The setlist pulled from across the band's discography, most frequently Hail To The Thief, OK Computer, In Rainbows, and Kid A. Of the tour, Philip Selway previously said in a statement: "Last year, we got together to rehearse, just for the hell of it. After a seven year pause,…
JID And Anycia’s ‘Sun’ Video Is A Somber Ghetto Fairy Tale
JID and fellow ATLien Anycia star in a ghetto fairy tale in the video for "Sun," from JID's new album, God Does Like Ugly. The video opens similarly to The Princess Bride with a woman reading a fairy tale to her young children. However, she's surprised by the book they request, which opens to reveal a modern tour of the Atlanta streets JID and Anycia grew up on. The two rappers display some solid chemistry, with JID's hyperactive delivery bouncing nicely off of Anycia's laconic flow, and both finding fascinating pockets in the slinky beat from Christo, Childish Major, and…
What’s Everyone Watching This Holiday Season? Music Videos
The weather’s turning, the holidays are creeping up, and music is how everyone gets in the spirit. But we’re not just listening in our cars on long drives or through headphones while shopping -- we’re watching. YouTube and connected TV are where holiday music dominates, soundtracking parties, online shopping marathons, and last-minute gift-wrapping sessions. Research shows that, starting in mid-November, UPROXX managed holiday channels on YouTube begin to surge. By December, they explode. Videos featuring beloved artists like Michael Bublé, Sia, Ed Sheeran, and Trans-Siberian Orchestra see up to 1500% more views than their yearly averages. Our channels with deep…
Whitney Teams With Madison Cunningham For ‘Evangeline,’ Their New Album’s Only Collab
Whitney's next few months are about to be busy. The duo has a new album, Small Talk, out this week, and after the release, they'll presumably be getting ready for their world tour that kicks off in February 2026. Ahead of all that, though, they've shared "Evangeline," a new song and the album's only collaboration (with Madison Cunningham). The band's Julien Ehrlich says of the song: "The most crucial moment of writing 'Evangeline' came when, after weeks of failed experiments, we leaned into the theatricality of the chorus. Max put midi timpanis and string pads underneath the vocals and the…
‘Scream 7’: Everything To Know About The Latest In The Iconic Horror Franchise
Three decades later and the Scream franchise is still going. There were a couple decade-long breaks in the mix, but regardless, we have a new one, Scream 7, on the way (after some bumps in the road) and it'll be the third film in four years. In a sense, the series is going back to its roots here: Kevin Williamson is directing, and while it's his first time leading a Scream film, he's written or co-written a bunch of the movies, including the first two. Speaking of OG's, David Arquette, Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and Matthew Lillard are all back…
Kehlani’s ‘Folded’ Efforts Pay Off With The Singer’s First-Ever Hot 100 Top Ten Appearance
Kehlani's new single "Folded" was already one of the singer's most successful songs when they released the Homage Pack remix EP in late October. Thanks to Kehlani's commitment to seeing the song's release cycle all the way through, though, the Bay Area singer has their first-ever Billboard Hot 100 top ten appearance. Originally released in June, followed by the "(Un)folded" remix in July, and powered by a range of remixes, cover versions, and fan-made videos on social media, "Folded" has reached the No. 7 spot on the latest chart update, after a total of 20 weeks. It last landed at…
Snocaps Will Briefly Tour In December And Then ‘Put The Project On Ice For The Foreseeable Future’
Fans remember that back in the day, Allison and Katie Crutchfield (Waxahatchee) were in the band P.S. Eliot together. They've since gone off to do other things, but they just reunited with a surprise new band, Snocaps, and a surprise new self-titled debut album, which is out now. It was teased at the time that tour dates would be announced, and now, they have. It's a quick run in early December, with two nights each at Chicago's Thalia Hall, Los Angeles' Teragram Ballroom, and New York's Bowery Ballroom. Pre-sale tickets go on sale on November 5 at 10 a.m. local…

Cat Power Will Celebrate 20 Years Of ‘The Greatest’ With ‘Redux’ Ahead Of An Anniversary Tour
At the time in 2006, The Greatest, Cat Power's seventh album, was the biggest LP of her career. It remains a staple of her discography as it turns 20 years old next year. Cat Power is set to celebrate the milestone next year in a couple different ways. One is Redux, a three-song EP recorded with her touring band, Dirty Delta Blues. It's mostly covers here, as the recordings included are new versions of James Brown's "Try Me" and Prince's "Nothing Compares 2 U," as well as Cat Power's own "Could We." Second, there's a 20th anniversary North American tour…
Fred Again..’s ‘Talk Of The Town’ Is The Latest Of His Many New ‘USB’ Songs
Fred Again.. is a machine as he's in the midst of touring the world and gradually unveiling his new batch of USB songs. It feels like there's a new track from him every day, so unsurprisingly, here's another fresh one, the just-released "Talk Of The Town." For this one, Fred teamed up with Sammy Virji and Reggie. It apparently came together very quickly: On Instagram, Fred wrote of the song: "some songs i work on take months or even years for me to feel happy with them, this is one of those ones that was about 27 minutes. basically 3…
The Neighbourhood Will Embark On The Cleverly Named ‘The Wourld Tour’ In 2026
The Neighbourhood haven't released a new album since 2020's Chip Chrome & The Mono-Tones. That changes in a couple weeks, though, when the band is set to share (((((ultraSOUND))))). They'll be going the whole nine yards with promo, too, as today (November 3), they announced they're going on tour in support of the project.

Jay Som Drops A Lovely Animated Video For Her Hayley Williams Collab ‘Past Lives’
Jay Som's (Melina Duterte) new album Belong, her first in a few years, is here now. Among the highlights, both in terms of the song itself and how jazzed Duterte is about it, is the Hayley Williams collaboration "Past Lives." The song and album have both been out for a little while now, but today (November 3) brings a new video. It's a cool visual, too. The animated video is presented in an impressionist sort of style and it's beautiful throughout. Studio Sparks (Cristiana Figueiredo & Lucas Moreira), who directed the video, explain in a statement: "We wanted the animation…

Notable Angelenos will.i.am and Taboo of the Black Eyed Peas simulate just what that raucous crowd will look like in the music video for their new Dodgers anthem, "We LA."

Oklou Will Use Her 2026 Coachella Performance To Launch A North American Tour
Oklou's debut album, Choke Enough, dropped earlier this year. Even since then, it remains one of 2025's best-received new albums. It created enough buzz to land Oklou a performance slot at Coachella in 2026, and Oklou plans to make good use of that visibility: Today (November 3), Oklou announced a North American tour that will start immediately after Coachella this coming April. This will follow a previously announced run of UK, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand shows set for late this year and early next year.

Paul McCartney Has A New Perspective On His Old Death Hoax: ‘In So Many Ways, I Was Dead’
Paul McCartney is the subject of perhaps the most famous hoax in music history: Supposedly, the Beatle died back in the 1960s and was replaced by an imposter. McCartney has heard all about this, of course, and over the years, he has gained a fresh perspective on the situation. McCartney discusses it in a new piece for The Guardian published over the weekend. It starts, "The strangest rumour started floating around just as the Beatles were breaking up -- that I was dead. We had heard it long before, but suddenly, in that autumn of 1969, stirred up by a…
