Madonna delivered the ultimate surprise performance yesterday evening in the heart of Times Square, transforming the iconic New York City landmark into a massive impromptu dance floor for a crowd of more than 50,000 fans. Watch clips HERE / Download photos HERE. This epic New York experience also marked the first time she performed new music from her upcoming album Confessions II including the latest track to be released ‘Love Sensation.’Listen HERE / Watch visualizer HERE.

Alongside ‘Love Sensation,’ she performed ‘I Feel So Free’ and ‘Bring Your Love,’ plus a trio of beloved songs from Confessions on a Dance Floor – ‘Hung Up,’ ‘Get Together’ and ‘I Love New York,’ the song she wrote for her beloved city and the crowd returned the love for her every step of the way in this quintessential New York City. The unforgettable moment was also shared with audiences around the world through Grindr’s first-ever livestream, bringing everyone to the dance floor.

‘Love Sensation’ was first teased in late April during a surprise club appearance by Madonna in West Hollywood where Stuart Price previewed a snippet of the song in his DJ set. It instantly generated buzz around the club and quickly sparked online discussion, fueling demand for a potential release of the track.

Madonna’s dance floor dominance shows no signs of slowing as the euphoric anthem ‘I Feel So Free,’ reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Dance Airplay Chart and ‘Bring Your Love,’ her collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter which just hit No. 1 on the UK Club Chart.

Confessions II is set for release on July 3rd via Warner Records. The new album is the continuation of the iconic counterpart Confessions on a Dance Floor. Fans can pre-order the album + the ultimate curation of expansive vinyl, CDs and cassette offerings HERE.

GRAMMY-winning Irish-American rapper, singer & songwriter Everlast has released a new single and music video for ‘Losing Man’s Game’ from his first album in eight years, Embers to Ashes. Produced by Yelawolf, mixed by Chris Lord-Alge, and with cover art by award-winning Tristan Eaton, Embers to Ashes is out August 28th on Everlast’s own Martyr Inc Records, in partnership with Thirty Tigers and Regime Music Group. Listen to ‘Losing Man’s Game’ HERE and watch the video HERE.

“There’s a freedom in being broken. Go all in or go home. Losing man’s game,” Everlast says about the song. The video features an intergenerational cast of Amigo the Devil, Andy Frasco and DJ Muggs (Cypress Hill) – who also produced House of Pain’s hit ‘Jump Around.’

Director Ryen McPherson (Sleater Kinney, Billy Strings, Rise Against) explains: “The cinematic carnage at the end of Luca Guadagnino’s ‘Suspiria’ has always resonated with me. It wasn’t just the visuals, but Thom Yorke’s score. I was inspired to finally take a crack at pairing onscreen violence with a ballad, the condition being that it had to be shot beautifully. I found some of the most sick and talented on-screen talent I’ve worked with in my 20+ years directing music videos. This video was edited less than 24 hours after we wrapped shooting, so to say that my crew and I are excited to share it with Everlast’s fans is an understatement. Enjoy your nightmares.” 

Everlast has also announced a run of UK summer In-Store dates to celebrate the release of Embers To Ashes. The six-date run kicks off at Resident Records on August 28th and finishes at Jumbo Records in Leeds on September 3rd. For more info head HERE.

Previous single ‘My Hollywood’ is a lighter hearted take on the ups and downs of success in the entertainment world, while the first single and music video for ‘Stones’ is a journey from self loathing to self healing and forgiveness (“soulful and heartfelt” – VICE, “a masterclass in the genre-bending style Everlast pioneered” – BroBible).

There are two mantras Everlast keeps close: whatever’s happening is inevitable, and this too shall pass. The philosophy comes into focus on Embers to Ashes, shaped by a decade that saw his Los Angeles home burn down in the 2018 Woolsey fire, the pandemic, a divorce and more. But the seed was planted a decade before – in 2015, Everlast was in Berlin with plans to head to Paris for Eagles of Death Metal at Le Bataclan, and ended up staying to catch Yelawolf instead. That night, Yelawolf told him he’d love to produce a record for him, just as news started coming through that something bad had happened in Paris. Ten years later, they connected in Nashville to make Embers to Ashes, with Yelawolf producing – encouraging him to bring in co-writers like David Ray (Jelly Roll, Teddy Swims).

Maybe it’s hard to understand how the guy who recorded one of the biggest breakout hip-hop hits in history (1992’s ‘Jump Around’ with his old group House of Pain) as well as the enduring empathy anthem of the 20th century (1998’s ‘What It’s Like’) could go from Armand de Brignac to Canadian Club (“We went from champagne and crystal glasses to drinking cheap whiskey out of plastic,” he growls on ‘Stones’). After all, this is the same man who won a GRAMMY with Santana and went on to redefine rap’s relationship with blues and rock. But here’s the thing: this too shall pass.

The wider world, with all its own hurt, looms throughout the record, as well. On the ghostly protest song ‘Rubber Bullets,’ written as Everlast watched the fallout of George Floyd’s murder, he reminds listeners: “Rubber bullets kill exactly like the real ones.”  The incendiary ‘Peace of Mind’ mixes down-home blues and epic rock as Everlast takes aim at the absurdity of modern life and escapism. And to close things down, the hopeful ‘Young Man’ offers up the clearest of that aforementioned hard-earned wisdom, as Everlast assumes the role of elder, imparting what he’s learned during a life truly lived to those — like his two daughters — who are just setting out.

Multi-platinum recording artist, songwriter, and global hitmaker Bebe Rexha releases ‘Sad Girls,’ with global superstar DJ and producer David Guetta. The song is the latest offering from Bebe’s forthcoming visual album and first as an independent artist Dirty Blonde, out June 12 via EMPIRE. Listen to ‘Sad Girl’ HERE.

Driven by a soaring progressive house production courtesy of Guetta, ‘Sad Girls’ is a euphoric, pulse-pounding dance anthem about the heartache of watching the person you love leave with someone else. Over shimmering synths and a relentlessly driving beat, Rexha channels heartbreak into defiance, declaring that sad girls don’t leave until the last song plays. The song’s visual channels Bebe’s humor and irreverence as she lands in therapy after a breakup, ultimately reclaiming her joy and power on her way out. Watch the video HERE.

Speaking about the song, Rexha said “‘Sad Girls’ is for anyone who has ever been on a dance floor with a broken heart and refused to let it win. You’re not okay, but you’re still dancing and showing up for yourself. That’s one of the most powerful things you can do in those moments.”

‘Sad Girls’ is the latest chapter in the storied creative partnership between Rexha and Guetta. Over the past decade, the duo has produced a number of global dance hits including ‘Hey Mama,’ ‘Say My Name,’ ‘One in a Million’ and ‘I’m Good (Blue),’ which peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has garnered over three billion streams. One of the most powerful duos in global dance music, the pair have earned two GRAMMY Award nominations in the Best Dance/Electronic Recording category for the latter two collaborations.

The song’s release is preceded by previously released tracks ‘I Like You Better Than Me,’ ‘Çike Çike,’ ‘Hysteria,’ and the album’s breakout single and global hit ‘New Religion.’ The latter, a collaboration with dance music duo Faithless, recently reached No. 1 on Billboard’s U.S. Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart and the WARM Global Dance Radio chart.

Her first album as a fully independent artist, Dirty Blonde sees Bebe seize creative control to create her most ambitious project yet, a full-length visual album defined by bold and unapologetic artistic freedom. The album will be released June 12 and features a sonic identity of Euro-influenced sounds and high-energy, club-ready bangers that still feel personal and cathartic.

After his biggest run of headline shows across the UK earlier this year and ten massive shows supporting Louis Tomlison in Europe, rising star Alex Spencer is back with his new single ‘These Will Be The Days.’ The track is the title track to Alex’s forthcoming EP, which arrives July 17th. Listen to ‘These Will Be The Days’ HERE & watch the video HERE.

A track cemented in friendship, growing up and moments quickly becoming memories, ‘There Will Be The Days’ is a euphoric indie-pop anthem made for festival mainstages. “The track is about nostalgia and that bittersweet realisation that the moments we’re living right now will one day become cherished memories,” Alex says of the single. “It took me 19 years to truly understand that. This is a really special song to me — lyrically, it’s my favourite I’ve written. It’s about having to learn to let go of what was, and start appreciating what is. Because these really are the days.”

Fast becoming one of the UK’s most exciting young voices in indie music and with a sold-out run of UK headline dates and European support shows with Louis Tomlison already ticked off this year, as well as a support slot opening for The Black Keys at Alexandra Palace Park under his belt, Alex is set for another busy year on the road.

Alex Spencer’s street-savvy lyricism is undeniable with his song writing capability proving far beyond his 19 years of age. While his roots are embedded in the culture of his hometown, a large portion of his childhood was spent living in India and Thailand, which has had a profound impact on his creativity and ambitious perspective. At the age of ten, Alex picked up the guitar, inspired by his father’s playing, and hasn’t let go of it since. Self-taught and masterfully skilled, he has spent years perfecting his craft.

“… trades guitars and electronics for swells of orchestral sound, luxuriating in physicality and ensemble richness” — THE NEW YORK TIMES

Pre-orders are live now for the first ever vinyl pressing of St. Vincent’s Live in London!  (Total Pleasure/Virgin Music Group), which arrives in the physical world July 10.

Released digitally March 20, Live in London! is a living document of St. Vincent’s majestic BBC Proms performance last year at London’s Royal Albert Hall in which she was accompanied by the 60-piece Jules Buckley Orchestra. The album captures the historic occasion that found Annie Clark, Buckley and the orchestra reimagining 19 classics, staples and rarely played deep cuts spanning the St. Vincent catalog from 2007’s solo debut Marry Me up to 2024’s multiple-GRAMMY-winning All Born Screaming.

The opening of pre-orders for the vinyl edition of Live in London! is accompanied by the premiere of the BBC Proms rendition of St. Vincent’s classic ‘Digital Witness,’ which can be seen at https://stv.lnk.to/DWLive

For those looking to experience the St. Vincent songbook live in its orchestrally embellished splendor, her limited run of North American orchestral performances begins June 2 in Pittsburgh and runs through August 2 at the Hollywood Bowl.

Following the release of ‘Sober’, their first new music in over two years earlier this year, Antwerp indie-pop trio BLUAI have released the second taste from their forthcoming sophomore record with new single ‘Alive’. The band has also announced a run of UK dates supporting The Clockworks in October 2026, including a date at London’s Scala on Friday October 16th. Listen to ‘Alive’ HERE & watch the video HERE.

‘Alive’, started with guilt. Songwriter and guitarist Catherine Smet wrote it in the shadow of her grandmothers’ deaths. Not just as an act of mourning, but as a reckoning with all the time she hadn’t taken. The visits deferred, the conversations half-had, the presence that was never quite fully given. “The question becomes,” the band reflects, “how many relationships, how many moments, slip through our fingers because we fail to live them fully, with the intensity they deserve?”

From that guilt came something less expected: a near-desperate urge to be here, fully, right now. ‘Alive’ moves between grief and appetite without resolving the distance between them. It’s a song about the particular kind of restlessness that follows loss. The realization that you’ve been living at a remove from your own life, and the determination, however ragged, to stop.

The song carries that tension without spelling it out. There’s room in it for different kinds of longing: the loss of someone gone, the loss of time wasted, the specific ache of queer heartbreak, and the band has kept that space open deliberately. What holds it together isn’t a single reading but a single feeling: the hunger to be alive in a way you weren’t before.

Following a slot at Pukkelpop Festival this August, the band will return to the UK for a run of UK shows with The Clockworks this October. Kicking off at Brudenel Social Club on October 9th, the five date run will also see the trio play a show at London’s Scala on Friday October 16th. More info HERE.

BLUAI play the following UK Dates with The Clockworks:

OCTOBER
Fri 9th                          Brudenel Social Club, Leeds
Sat 10th                      Mama Roux’s, Manchester
Sun 11th                     Oran Mor, Glasgow
Wed 14th                   Academy 3, Manchester
Fri 16th                        Scala, London

Since the release of their acclaimed debut album Save It For Later in 2024, BLUAI (Catherine Smet, Mo Govaerts and Caitlin Talbut) have steadily built a name for themselves at home and abroad. After winning Belgium’s three leading music contests, the band became a fixture on national airwaves and festival line-ups, with appearances at Rock Werchter, Pukkelpop, Cactus Festival, Lokerse Feesten and more.

Beyond Belgium, BLUAI have expanded their reach across Europe and the UK with standout performances at Hyde Park (UK), Lowlands (NL), Vida Festival (ES), Frequency Festival (AT), Dot to Dot (UK) and Live at Leeds (UK), while earning “band to watch” features in Rolling Stone UK and The Independent.

“Just when I thought I’d seen it all, I discovered BPC and snowless skiing. It’s either the gnarliest extreme sport I’ve ever seen, the most fun anyone can have before a guaranteed trip to the hospital, or both. It’s an honour to be the soundtrack to this madness.” – Dave Grohl

‘Of All People,’ the 2:35 blast of sonic fury from Foo Fighters’ new album Your Favorite Toy, whose “driving rhythm and raw production capture the urgency and emotion that defined punk at its core” (PARADE), has been given an appropriately gnarly visual interpretation.

Director Alex Acy recruited Swiss extreme skiers BPC (Buldoz Project Crew) – infamous for their snowless skiing daredevilry on surfaces ranging from concrete and glass to random off-snow terrain – to visualize the album’s incendiary second song. The result is two and a half minutes of BPC skiers Flaco, Blasco Paterno Castello, Mael Bovey, Jordy, and Andrea de Angelis pushing the limits of extreme skiing while Foo Fighters pin dB meters in the red.

On discovering BPC and its commitment to adapting skiing to places where it shouldn’t be possible, Acy says: “I found one of their videos on YouTube a year ago and I knew I had to meet them. We chatted a lot before figuring out how we could create something together. I was totally floored by their personalities and their way of seeing life. It takes a certain charisma to take on such stupid and dangerous stunts with style.”

Linda Perry has released her first solo album in 25+ years, Let It Die Here, out now via Kill Rock Stars/670 Records. The 17-track record is an intimate collection of songs that emerged during the filming of her deeply personal documentary, also titled Let It Die Here.

A raw, spiritual reckoning, the album traces a journey through inherited pain, grief, and redemption—from the late-night confessions of ‘Balboa Park’ to the searing surrender of ‘Let It Die Here,’ culminating in ‘Albatross,’ a moment of hard-won release. Early critical response is strong, including a 4-star review from MOJO praising how “Perry’s keen pop sensibility shot through,” SPIN Magazine stating “Perry alchemically turns psychic chaos into spun gold,” alongside acclaim from Classic Rock Magazine calling the album “a supremely classy and highly polished affair. Immaculately crafted, played and produced,” all signaling major recognition ahead of release. To accompany the album release, Perry is debuting a music video for the focus track ‘Feathers In A Storm.’ Stream the album Let It Die Here HERE and watch the ‘Feathers In A Storm’ music video HERE.

Linda Perry reflected on the release of Let It Die Here – “I never intended to make a documentary, and I never intended to record an album—but here I am with an incredibly raw documentary and an extremely honest record. This album represents the years I struggled as a child, with a very tough mother who always made me feel like I had to be constantly looking over my shoulder, never feeling the comfort of safety. In songs like ‘Is That All You Got?’ you hear me take her on, and in ‘What Lies With You,’ you hear me struggling to say goodbye. Let It Die Here is a cinematic and emotional story about survival. I don’t know how this will touch others, but it has certainly helped set me free.”

On the inspiration behind the single and music video for ‘Feathers In Storm,’ Linda Perry said – “I spent years trying to change my mom—wanting her approval and wanting her to be accountable for the damage she caused. I finally realized that would never happen. ‘Feathers in a Storm’ is about looking inward for that change. And yeah, it sucks when your parents don’t want to take responsibility for their actions. At the end of the day, we’re just feathers in a storm looking for a way out. I wanted the video for ‘Feathers in a Storm’ to be fun, visually dynamic, and just cool. All the outfit changes represent the changes I’m singing about. Simon Chan directed and put all the visuals together—he’s fast, creative, and we just get each other. Style Alchemist styled all my clothes in the video; they are great with textures, colors and really elevated my look. I love what they do. Shea Hardy did my makeup, and I’m not easy because I don’t like wearing it—but she’s the only one I trust with that task. I let everyone do what they do best, gave them full creative freedom, and they delivered—I love this video.”

For the first single off of Let It Die Here, Perry revisited her iconic song ‘Beautiful,’ delivering a raw, intimate performance that reframes the anthem through her own lived experience. To accompany ‘Beautiful,’ Linda tapped actor/producer/director Sara Gilbert who created a visually stunning short film/music video based around a talent show with a 1940’s influence but also feels timeless. The video stars their child Rhodes Perry, actor Lukas Haas, Shane Powers (Babylon, Survivor) as well as a cast of a close circle of friends, family, actors and musicians. Linda Perry made her solo late night television debut performing ‘Beautiful’ on Jimmy Kimmel Live! earlier this year.

Following the announcement of Atlantic Rain, a three-disc set of previously unheard music from the classic Fisherman’s Blues era, The Waterboys have released new single ‘Don’t Even Have To Say His Name,’ which is out now on Chrysalis Records. Listen to ‘Don’t Even Have To Say His Name’ HERE.

Written by The Waterboys singer and guitarist Mike Scott, the song is a commentary on the current political situation in the United States. Scott explains, “I hate bullies, and this song reflects my feelings about the political leadership of a country I love. I’ve been inspired by American music and culture my whole life and believe the decency of the USA will be intact when this debased government is long gone, but only if people both there and around the world question and protest. This song is part of our small contribution to that process. May it serve its purpose.” 

The track was produced by Puck Fingers and Famous James with Mike Scott on vocals and guitar. Mike is joined by Famous James (piano and organ), Aongus Ralston (bass), and Crash Barclay on drums.

Lyrics to ‘Don’t Even Have To Say His Name’ are:

Who assembled this enterprise

to deny the evidence of our eyes?

Who presided over this offense

against decency and common sense?

Whose dedication, whose labour

turned neighbour against neighbour?

Who indeed should we blame?

I don’t even have to say the motherfucker’s name

Who put the dogwhistle back in style?

Who makes every white supremacist smile?

Who put violence in peoples’ heads?

The spider at the heart of the web

Who granted Ice immunity

to murder with impunity?

Who indeed should we blame?

I don’t even have to say the motherfucker’s name

Two trains are rolling across America tonight

I can hear their wheels, I can see their lights

Well I don’t know, but maybe you hear them too

one leads to Auschwitz, one leads to the new

Who took democracy and its sacred vote

and wrapped a noose around its throat?

Which insurrectionist and bogus King

buried the White House under bling?

Who threatens like other people breathe?

Insults women every day on TV?

Who turned this country we hold dear

into a land of fear?

Who indeed should we blame?

I don’t even have to

I don’t even have to say

I don’t even to have to say the motherfucker’s name
