Chris Martin has admitted that he’ll struggle to move on from Coldplay when their recorded catalogue eventually ends. The frontman is quoted by The Sun‘s ‘Bizarre’ column as saying: “I’m trying to let go of everything, but I still love my job. I love it and maybe that’s not good. I love all of it, even all of the nonsense. I’m so grateful.” READ MORE: Exclusive: Coldplay: “When things appear overwhelmingly positive, that’s often because it’s what the singer needs most” Martin continued: “I love our band, I love what we do, I love the songs that come through, I love…
Dutch Dance music titan Don Diablo has just unveiled his spellbinding reimagining of Fleetwood Mac’s 1987 classic Little Lies, marking the first time the band has ever allowed a dance-electronic artist to use their original parts. Out now via Warner Records/Major Recordings, this triumphant end of summer gem blends Fleetwood Mac’s iconic, crystalline vocals with Don’s euphonious production style and an organic, driving bassline, melting into a gloriously nostalgic yet forward-thinking anthem that won me over from the start. I am a fan of the original and this is quite an impressive reimaigning perfectly blending the nostalgia of the classic with…
20-year-old talent Axell has just dropped his brand new single Worlds Apart, a high-energy, romantic EDM anthem with a hypnotic touch. Out now on THEORY / Duchess Company, Worlds Apart finds the talented French artist continuing his rise with a mature and unifying production that draws on the EDM of his adolescence while asserting a resolutely modern style. I am loving the vocals and how they effortlessly infuse the song with a memorable dose of soul and emotion, beautifully reaching to your hearts and giving us something to sing along to while dancing. The polished electronic production features groovy rhythms nicely…
US-based filmmaker, composer and writer Gregory Scotiniadis shares his brand new single Life Goes On, a passionate pop song about a breakup. Out now on Eva Lane Records, Life Goes On was written in his early 20s after a tough breakup and finds the talented artist sharing both a personal story and a universal reminder that even after heartbreak, life truly does go on. This message is beautifully conveyed through passionate, heartfelt vocals that set the tone for a memorable listening experience, getting me also hyped up to sing along to. Accompanying the passionate vocals we have an uplifting, melodic pop-inspired…
The King of All Media pulled a fast one on listeners on Monday morning (Sept. 8) when he appeared to announce his retirement from afar when he didn’t show up, as promised, following a long summer break. Howard Stern, 71, was originally slated to be back on air last week amid rumors that his nearly two-decade run at SiriusXM might be coming to an end. He pushed that return back a week with no explanation, and when fans tuned in at 7 a.m. ET on Monday morning they were greeted with Stern fan/friend and fellow SiriusXM voice Andy Cohen seemingly…

Sydney Sweeney‘s new boxing drama Christy has largely proved a flop with critics following its premiere. Read More: Sydney Sweeney doesn’t get why you’re obsessed with her: “I’m just being me” The new biopic follows the story of boxer Christy Martin, focusing on her career as one of the top female boxers of the ’90s and ’00s before enduring and surviving domestic violence at the hands of her husband and trainer, James (Ben Foster). The film has just premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, and has so far drawn a very mixed reception from critics. The Guardian called it a…
It was pretty obvious that Lady Gaga was in for a big night at the 2025 VMAs, which were held at UBS Arena in Elmont, N.Y., on Sunday (Sept. 7). After all, Mother Monster is coming off one of the biggest years of her career. And she was nominated for 12 awards, more than any other artist this year. Sure enough, Gaga dominated the night, with four awards, more than any other artist. It was also no surprise that LL Cool J was a smooth and effective host. The hip-hop legend is an old pro at this sort of thing,…

Blige, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, 50 Cent. Adam Blackstone won as music director of that show. The 2025 Grammys…
The eternal dissonance of the MTV Video Music Awards ostensibly celebrating a form no longer actively promoted on the brand’s flagship channel has long made the show a tricky tightrope to be walked. It’s led to a lot of confusion in category nomenclature, of course — with the nouns disappearing from categories like “best pop” and “best hip-hop,” and artists now accepting awards like “song of the summer” and “best album” that are totally divorced from the music video format. But a much bigger concern for the VMAs than what awards they should be giving out in 2025 is who…
