Finneas, Ever The Optimist, Still Gets Goosebumps Hearing Songs He Wrote
By Alex Gonzalez Finneas has been keeping busy. The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter/producer made an appearance at this year’s MTV VMAs on September 12, where his sister, Billie Eilish, won Best Latin for her Rosalía collaboration “Lo Vas a Olvidar” and Video For Good for “Your Power” — songs he co-wrote and produced. The next day, he attended the Met Gala, stunning in a bright red Givenchy suit. The following week, he flew to London for the world premiere of No Time to Die, for which he co-wrote the Eilish-sung theme song. When MTV News catches up with him about a...
Chelsea Cutler Is Breaking Up With Sad Songs
By Megan Armstrong As a young girl, Chelsea Cutler wrote on a whiteboard hanging in her childhood bedroom that she would one day play Radio City Music Hall, as if penning it in would make her wish come true. The 24-year-old singer placed a new emphasis on that goal in March 2020 during the worst of the coronavirus pandemic, when nationwide lockdowns forced her to cancel her headlining tour in support of her debut album How to be Human and return to her parents’ home in Westport, Connecticut. Since she dropped out of Amherst College to open for the...
Remi Wolf Recorded Juno In Isolation. Now It’s Time To Party
Remi Wolf wants you to finally let loose at her shows. Zooming with MTV News in a baby-pink sweatshirt and an all-caps “deep funk and divine intervention” slogan baseball cap, Wolf, 25, recalls writing and recording her hallucinatory debut album, Juno, out tomorrow (October 15). The singer-songwriter’s powerhouse pipes and funk-infused sound have already scored her collabs with industry legends like Nile Rodgers and Beck, cementing her status as an alt-pop whiz kid. Her music is fun, frisky, and utterly her own. But what you can’t glean from her brazen lyrics or trippy Insta aesthetic is how much Wolf...
Adele Finally Announces Her New Album 30, And It’ll Be Here Very Soon
For the past few weeks, Adele’s been back, but she hasn’t been quite, you know, ~back~. She covered both the U.S. and British covers of Vogue and was tied to mysterious billboards that went up prominently in a few cities. All of this led to intense speculation that her fourth album would A) be dropping imminently, and B) be titled 30, following 2008’s 19, 2011’s 21, and 2015’s 25. Yesterday, she teased a new song called “Easy on Me,” set to be released on October 15 — and now she’s made things official. Adele’s new album is indeed titled...

Do you really think we can do this here?’” As instructed by the venue, Gao proceeded with her DJ set and performance, but her extremely high-energy sounds shocked...

Growth Mindset Practitioner. Fueled by metal & ska. &...

Tech N9ne (aka Aaron Yates) has dropped a fiery new single titled ‘Face Off’, which features – alongside striking guest spots from rappers Joey Cool and King Iso – the monolithic rap debut from Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. Closing out the track with a short, yet unquestionably intense verse, Johnson snarls: “It’s about drive, it’s about power / We stay hungry, we devour / Put in the work, put in the hours and take what’s ours / Black and Samoan in my veins, my culture bangin’ with Strange / I change the game, so what’s my motherfuckin’ name?” ‘Face...Recent Posts
