The Florida, native was known for an idiosyncratic warble, which he used to power hits like “Swingin’,” “Seminole Wind,” and “Wild and Blue” John Anderson, a Country Music Hall of Fame member known for his distinct, idiosyncratic singing style, died Wednesday. He was 71. A rep for Anderson confirmed his death to Rolling Stone. A post on the singer’s social media announcing his death called Anderson a “gifted country music singer whose voice and songs touched countless lives.” A native of Apopka, Florida, Anderson possessed an unmistakable country warble, one that rivaled that of even Hank Williams. He put it…

The rogue’s gallery of Batman villains has a deep bench, and given that a certain Clown Prince of Crime received not one but two solo outings and Gotham’s waterfowl-related kingpin got his own prestige-TV drama, it makes sense to start pulling out other MVP bad guys for side projects. Personally, we might have gone with a few other first-stringers before landing on Clayface, a character whose name goes back to 1940s Batman comics. The original was simply an actor moonlighting as a criminal; the better-known version was introduced in the Fifties, a shape-shifter who could take on anyone’s appearance but…

They also need to wow voters with the story behind the making of an album, according to Cecilia Winter, Editorial Lead of Global Hits at Spotify. “Often the people who win are people who have pulled back the curtain a little bit…
Nobody wrote a Jean-Michel Basquiat biopic for Kid Cudi, so, as he announced on Wednesday, he got sick of waiting and wrote his own. The film, Jean, will begin filming in 2027, according to the rapper’s Instagram. “For years people have asked me about playing Jean-Michel Basquiat in a film,” he wrote. “But no project actually came to be. This year, I finally said fuck it, ima write it myself.” Cudi posted a photo of himself as the late artist, whose fusion of graffiti and African-inspired work won over the downtown New York art world in the Eighties, wearing a…
