Jason Newsted isn't going country but he is leaning into American roots music. This month, he kicked off a tour with Southern rock greats Blackberry Smoke, opening shows with his Chophouse Band, which includes former Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit member Jimbo Hart on bass. With that in mind, Rolling Stone's Nashville Now podcast asked Newsted which song by his former band — Metallica — would be well-suited for a rootsy, country version. He immediately discounted “Mama Said,” off 1996's Load album (that album's followup, ReLoadjust received a deluxe reissue), for being “too obvious” and gravitated toward a pair…
Cut publishes on July 17 I messed upnew single out for Gold Leaves Academy. The piece continues the path opened by ADHD and takes the artist from San Giuliano Milanese onto a more melodic terrain, close to R&B, leaving aside the more classic rap technicalities. At the center of the song is the conflict between what we know about ourselves and what we still can't change. Mistakes, sense of guilt and fragility become the starting point to try to listen to one another without judging oneself. “I messed up”: Cuta talks about the weight of the mistakes In I messed…
Robbie Williams has shared a new version of the Official Fifa Anthem ‘Desire’ ahead of the World Cup Final, and it sees him join forces with Nicole Scherzinger and Laura Pausini. Last summer, the singer was confirmed as the official Music Ambassador for the global football governing body, and he went on to drop the single with Laura Pausini shortly afterwards as the first ever official FIFA anthem. The two of them first played the song live together last July, breaking it out before a match between Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain in MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Later that year,…
Tricky may not have released an album in six years, but he has kept busy; Theis Thaws and Lonely Guest are just two aliases the trip-hop innovator has used to record new music. But, as press-release legend has it, when Tricky’s manager, Alan McGee, heard the bones of the tracks that would become Different When It’s Silent, he saw a rose by any other name. “In my mind it was another side project,” Tricky said. McGee countered: “Mate, this is a Tricky album.” His 15th studio effort reconfigures blues, hip-hop, punk, and electro into a stark, collagist sound that emphasizes…

Close to a month since announcing his new solo country record, Killers frontman Brandon Flowers is releasing the single, “Paradise.” The song will appear on Thrasher, due out Aug. 21. On the song, Flowers knows when to hold ’em and fold ’em as he spits out gambling puns over galloping banjo, keening steel guitar, and country-honkin’ harmonica. The song is ostensibly about his extended family working at Las Vegas casinos but beneath the sparkling optimism of the music lies a darker, fatalist message: “It’s just another day in paradise/Another raindrop in the sea,” he sings. “Count the hours to quittin’…
The Rolling Stones have been very busy over the past year recording their new LP Foreign Tongues, and promoting it with a large slate of interviews and promotional appearances across Europe and North America. One thing they haven’t done since July 2024, however, is play even a single concert. European stadium dates were on hold in the summers of 2025 and 2026 — the dates even leaked out to the fan community— but they were both canceled at the last minute as rumors spread that Keith Richards wasn’t up for touring. This has been confirmed by both Mick Jagger and Richards…
