In his home office in Nashville, Cidny Bullens glances at a photo perched behind him: a young, pouty-faced 28-year-old in a Superman T-shirt, cradling an electric guitar. “I look at me as a different person,” says Bullens, who now sports short hair and a wisp of a mustache. “I don’t say, ‘Oh, that’s a great picture.’ It’s like an entity, you know.” That photo adorned the cover of Desire Wire, the 1978 debut album by the artist then-known as Cindy Bullens. By the time of its release, Bullens had a formidable résumé, touring as a member of Elton John’s band and featuring…
The musician will perform her second album in full at New York’s Webster Hall next month to coincide with the release of its extended edition The approaching 20th anniversary of The Diary of Alicia Keys had trudged up all kinds of nostalgia for Alicia Keys. December will mark two decades since she released her second album, and the musician is celebrating with a 24-track re-release titled The Diary of Alicia Keys 20 featuring the newly-surfaced song “Golden Child,” previously locked away in her personal vault. In 2013, Keys launched the archival website AKVault, where she shared unreleased live performances, studio…
Empire State Bastard have shared their vicious new track ‘Tired, Naw?’ – check it out below. The song – the original version of ‘Tired, Aye?’ from 2023 album ‘Rivers Of Heresy‘ – opens with a wall of harsh instrumentals and screeching vocals from Biffy Clyro frontman Simon Neil. According to a press release, much of the album was written remotely, with Mike Vennart laying down guitar, bass and guide drums before Simon Neil added his vocals. However, with ‘Tired, Aye?’, while Neil added his vocal parts, he also removed everything else bar the drums in the process. Now, ‘Tired, Naw?’…
The song also puts the angst of what to do with your privilege and apathy in 2023 through that pop-punk lens with lines like, “I’m going crazy/Little tiny Hollywood baby.” I just relate to it.Larson: We’re all just a tiny little Hollywood baby.Patel: Well, you know, in this moment there’s a lot of mocking rich people and celebrities and people who deliver news via statement, as is referenced in the song. But also recognizing you’re kind of one of them—like you’re sitting in your little place of privilege, too. I love the pop punk. I love the crunch. I love…
A second woman has come forward with allegations that Steven Tyler sexually assaulted her when she was a teenager, according to a lawsuit filed in New York on Thursday. Jeanne Bellino, a former child model who claimed to have met Tyler in New York in the summer of 1975 when she was 17, alleged in the suit that Tyler, then around 27, violently assaulted her twice the only day they’d encountered one another. Bellino alleges that she met Tyler after a friend had arranged for them to meet Aerosmith at the Warwick Hotel following a fashion show Bellino was working…
HBO’s CEO Casey Bloys apologized to a room of journalists following a Rolling Stone report that he instructed staffers to create fake social media accounts to troll TV critics who gave poor reviews to HBO shows. During a press event Thursday to unveil HBO and Max’s programming slate for 2024, Bloys addressed members of the media — some of whom being the very critics he trolled — to confess that during the pandemic he spent an “unhealthy amount of time” on Twitter when he discussed using a “secret army” to hit back at reviewers. “It’s very important to me what you…
È uscita una nuova canzone dei Beatles. Sono parole che inizialmente generano sgomento. Come «oggi John Kennedy ha tenuto un discorso», «ecco Pelè che entra in campo», «Marilyn Monroe sarà alla prima del suo nuovo film».Now and Then, ultima (e finale, dicono) canzone della rock band più importante di sempre, si tira dietro così tanti argomenti di discussione che è un miracolo che non ne esca schiacciata. Bisognerebbe provare a isolarla, usare qualche tecnologia proprio come quella usata da Peter Jackson per il suo lavoro su Get Back, utilizzata anche per recuperare la voce di John Lennon nel demo originario.…
Leading up to the Grammy nominations on Nov. 10, Rolling Stone is breaking down 16 different categories. For each, we’re predicting the nominees, as well as who will (and who should) win on Grammy night. If it is truly “the year of the girl” as many have claimed in light of Barbie’s success, then look no further than the women in pop who dominated the charts. In addition to Number Ones from SZA, Swift, Cyrus, and Rodrigo, Lipa and Eilish’s contributions to the Barbie soundtrack were excellent enough to create hits for these two former Best New Artist winners, even…
Saviors of summer touring, Green Day are promising to bring the heat (or at least add to it) with concerts that celebrate two big anniversaries — their 1994 breakout album, Dookie, and Grammy-winning 2004 album, American Idiot — alongside songs from their upcoming 14th album, Saviors. They’re previewing that record, out Jan 19, with a new video for “Look Ma, No Brains!” The opening acts on the tour certainly seem like no-brainers, with the Smashing Pumpkins, Rancid, and the Linda Lindas set to take the same stadium stages as the trio. “We’ve never been more excited to unleash new music…
First published in 2021 If you ever doubt that The Beatles were the greatest band that ever existed, try ranking their songs. Out of 185 self-penned tunes they released commercially during their initial seven-year run – so not including covers, fan club releases, alternative versions – you’ll list well over a hundred tracks before you get to anything you wouldn’t call sublime, and hit 150 or so before anything verging on average appears. Of their entire catalogue, only six or seven songs could be classed as ‘shonky’, and most of those have still got something historic going for them. Among…
