As much as I fuck with all of the madcap sounds coming out of the West Indies at the moment, the laid-back shatta tunes Lov’nee has been pumping out lately are my sweet spot. She’s been popping in Martinique for a while now with melodic rap that she’s described as equally influenced by Lauryn Hill and Jocelyne Béroard, the heart of the legendary zouk band Kassav’, but with producer DJ Jyz, she’s locked into a midtempo groove that’s simultaneously traditional and of the times. On “Anonymat,” the familiar tinny bounce gives Lov’nee the space to skillfully cycle through flows, going…

Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” has spent its 22nd consecutive week atop the Billboard Hot 100, tying the all-time record held by Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” If Langley’s out-of-the-blue country smash holds its position for one more week—as it seems on track to do—it will officially become the longest-running No. 1 single in U.S. chart history.For 23 years, Carey’s own “One Sweet Day,” a duet with Boyz II Men from her 1995 album Daydream, held the title she now shares with Langley, with 16 weeks spent at No. 1. Daddy Yankee and Luis Fonsi’s “Despacito” remix,…

The director also noted that, while making Musk, he and his team “made so many formal outreaches to him, and with the exception of his remarks on Twitter, we received nothing back.”  Musk premiered earlier this…

With 22 weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100, Langley’s country song is poised to beat Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” next week Proof that “Choosin’ Texas” couldn’t be any bigger: it’s now almost as popular as Christmas. Ella Langley’s hit just tied Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” both now holding the record for 22 non-consecutive weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100. Released in 1994, Carey’s festive tune has received holiday bumps almost every year, but with the Christmas season still two months away (Carey usually “defrosts” in November), it seems quite possible that…

Megadeth‘s Dave Mustaine has revealed the bands who he thinks would make the modern ‘Big Four’ of thrash metal. The original ‘Big Four” refers to the four main bands who pushed thrash metal into the mainstream back in the ‘80s – Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax.
