The K-G-Bitch Brings Brooklyn Steel to Its Knees Image Credit: CAROLINE SAFRAN for Rolling Stone When Adéla first introduced , it was with the lead single “KGB,” a pulsating, bass-heavy record made to be blasted from loud speakers. “No, I’m not being cocky, I just worked my whole life,” she sings on the song, which outlines her journey from Slovakia to the stage. “I wanna pop off so these big mouths can’t say shit.” One glimpse of her in her element is all it takes to shut them up.

Dropkick Murphys‘ frontman Ken Casey has weighed in after Macklemore was forced off Ed Sheeran‘s tour for decrying the genocide being waged on Palestinians whilst onstage. Sheeran’s upcoming ‘Loop’ shows are now without a single opening act after Macklemore was dropped from the tour over his impassioned “free Palestine” speech made while opening for Sheeran at New Jersey’s Gillette Stadium. The speech prompted calls for his removal from figures like Pink and the Israeli American Council, and Gillette Stadium owner Robert Kraft later said he found Macklemore’s speech “deeply offensive and hurtful to the Jewish community”, resulting in his dismissal. Since then, all of Sheeran’s support acts and backing…

Tinashe is still one week away from the release of her eighth studio album, Popstar, and she can feel the pressure building. In the past, her records have arrived not exactly quietly, but often under the radar. Something different is happening with this one. “There’s a lot of attention, there’s a lot of discussion,” she tells Rolling Stone. “People are ready for it, which is a new feeling.” Tinashe is in New York to kick off Coach and Spotify’s Tabby Tour event series with a performance for a yard full of fans who flocked to lower Manhattan with just a…

CeeLo Green and Danger Mouse will hit the road in November on their To Whom It Still Concerns Tour, a nine-date trek in support of Atlanta, the duo’s third — and reportedly final — album. “The Gnarls Barkley ‘To Whom It Still Concerns’ Tour operates like an open book, exploring the universal matters of life,…

S ome of the biggest music deals in recent years have involved songwriting catalogs, from Bob Dylan in 2020 to Justin Bieber in 2025 to Pete Townshend this spring, many fetching nine-figure buyouts. Most of these have come from private-equity firms looking for reliable investments. But independent labels and artists are fast becoming the focus for a number of recently minted investment firms — companies, and catalogs, of seemingly every size. And one label owner, Aaron Schultz of the boutique soul-funk imprint Bastard Jazz Recordings, says the moves are “threatening for the entire indie-music ecosystem.” In a widely disseminated post…

In the year since Ian Munsick last released a studio album, he has put his career through a near-wholesale reset. He’s an independent artist now, working under his own label for the first time. In mid-September, he opened his own Western-themed bar, about as far from Nashville’s Lower Broadway — the conventional home for such enterprises — as he can get. And, to hear Munsick tell it, he’s never been more at peace since he dropped his new album, The Mountain Goat, last month. “I’ve been asking people their favorite tune on there, and getting all kinds of answers,” the…

AC/DC‘s Angus Young signed a fan’s baby at a ‘PWR/UP’ pop-up event in Toronto earlier this week – check out the footage below. The lead guitarist and co-founder of the Australian rock band attended the fan event after the cancellation of their scheduled show at Rogers Stadium on Wednesday (September 16). It is not typical for the members of AC/DC to show up at the pop-ups – which give fans access to unique merch, food, drinks, and even the chance to play and pose with one of Young’s guitars. However, the group reportedly made it up to disappointed ticketholders by…

Il 19 settembre 1996 usciva “Anime salve“, tredicesimo e ultimo album in studio di Fabrizio De André, scritto e realizzato insieme a Ivano Fossati. Trent’anni dopo, più che un disco da celebrare come monumento della canzone d’autore italiana, appare come un’opera ancora sorprendentemente viva: un viaggio immaginario e concreto al contempo, che sembra interrogare direttamente molte delle fratture del nostro presente. Storie di emarginazione, di diversità, di solitudine e di libertà, fra le più scomode e sentite della sua carriera, rese per mezzo di testi mai così diretti, espliciti, duri, ma sempre con quel tocco poetico che ha reso inconfondibile…

Dolly Parton posthumously accepted the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Americana Honors & Awards, appearing in pre-recorded video clip at the event on Wednesday night (September 12). News of Dolly’s death rocked the music world when it emerged last month. Though she had previously told fans she was dealing with some health issues that she “didn’t pay attention to” while looking after late husband Carl Dean, the public had no idea of her cancer diagnosis, which her sister later explained was because “she did not want people sad”. According to Variety, the audience gathered at the Ryman Auditorium for the Americana Awards gasped when…
