Philadelphia shoegaze outfit Nothing recorded a five-song live session for KEXP, running through “cannibal world,” “a short history of decay,” “purple strings,” “Famine Asylum,” and “toothless coal,” the performance showcases the band at full sonic intensity, with Domenic Palermo, Doyle Martin, and Cam Smith’s layered guitars filling the room with the kind of dense, gorgeous noise that has made Nothing one of the most compelling acts in modern shoegaze. The session features Bobb Bruno on bass and Zachary Jones on drums, with audio engineering handled by Julian Martlew and mixed by Nick Bassett.

Dick Parry, The Saxophone Voice Behind Pink Floyd’s Greatest Moments, Dead at 83
Dick Parry died this morning, May 22, 2026, at the age of 83. The saxophonist whose playing became inseparable from some of rock music’s most enduring recordings passed away with no cause of death announced. David Gilmour broke the news on social media, writing, “My dear friend Dick Parry died this morning. Since I was seventeen, I have played in bands with Dick on saxophone, including Pink Floyd.”
Parry and Gilmour’s friendship stretched back to Cambridge in the early 1960s, where both were part of the city’s mid-decade music scene. Gilmour played in Jokers Wild while Parry fronted The Soul Committee. That bond, formed before either had any idea where music would take them, turned out to be one of the most quietly consequential friendships in rock history.
When Gilmour brought Parry into the studio for ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’ in 1973, the result was permanent. The saxophone line on “Money” became one of the most recognizable instrumental moments in the entire classic rock canon. Parry also appeared on “Us and Them” from that record, and his contributions extended to 1975’s ‘Wish You Were Here’, most notably on “Shine On You Crazy Diamond.” Gilmour described his playing as “a signature of enormous beauty that is known to millions.”
Parry toured with Pink Floyd from 1973 through 1977, one of the band’s most celebrated live periods. Nearly two decades later, Gilmour tracked him down after receiving a Christmas card from a man who had sold his saxophones, become a farrier, and largely stepped away from music. A brief audition on the boat was enough. Three phrases in, Gilmour and producer Bob Ezrin agreed he still had it completely. Parry played on “Wearing the Inside Out” for 1994’s ‘The Division Bell’ and toured behind it, with his performances documented on the live album ‘Pulse’.
He was there for the historic Live 8 reunion in 2005, the only time the classic Pink Floyd lineup performed together after Roger Waters’ departure. He appeared again on Gilmour’s 2006 On An Island Tour alongside the late Rick Wright, a run Gilmour referenced specifically in his tribute post. Beyond Pink Floyd, Parry’s discography touched John Entwistle, Rory Gallagher, the Violent Femmes, and dozens more across six decades of session and touring work.
Dick Parry never sought the spotlight. He was a sideman in the truest and most honourable sense, someone whose contributions shaped records that hundreds of millions of people have carried with them through their lives, often without knowing his name. Now they do.
Dick Parry, the saxophonist whose playing on Pink Floyd classics “Money,” “Shine On You Crazy Diamond,” and “Us and Them” became part of rock history, has died at 83. David Gilmour called him “a signature of enormous beauty.”

“Reba McEntire wraps her inimitable voice around this tender ballad of longing and loneliness,” praised Billboard, with One Night In Tulsa – EP premiering last month alongside its companion “The Making of Reba” Playlist. Each thematically curated collection pairs a newly recorded song with carefully selected tracks that celebrate five legendary decades. Launching a tailored playlist in tandem with each music capsule, “The Rise of Reba” Playlist drops June 1, as it follows the meteoric rise of a chart-topping phenom breaking through in the ‘80s and fast-becoming Country’s next superstar.
Adding to her legacy, McEntire was recently honored in the class of 2026 with her defining album Rumor Has It (1990) being inducted into the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress. Her philanthropic leadership was also recognized Wednesday (5/20) when she was awarded the Music Heals Golden Ukulele, as a dedicated supporter of Musicians On Call, during the inaugural Music Heals Live! at The Pinnacle in Nashville, TN.
Multi-media entertainment mogul Reba McEntire has become a household name through a legendary career that spans music, television, film, theater, retail, and hospitality. The Country Music Hall of Fame and Hollywood Bowl member has more than 50 award wins under her belt, earning accolades from the ACM Awards, American Music Awards, CMA Awards, GRAMMY Awards, GMA Dove Awards, and People’s Choice Awards, in addition to receiving multiple philanthropic and leadership honors like being a 2018 Kennedy Center Honors recipient. McEntire has achieved unprecedented success, including 35 career #1 singles and over 58 million albums sold worldwide. Holding the record for the most Top 10 hits among female artists with 60 Top 10s on the Billboard Country Airplay chart, her Top 10 reign extends five straight decades, landing her in the singular group with only George Jones, Willie Nelson, and Dolly Parton. Next celebrating a 50-year milestone in 2026, she’s rolling out new music capsules once a month, as each pairs a freshly recorded song with carefully selected tracks that trace the evolution of one of Country music’s most enduring and influential voices. The Oklahoma native and Golden Globe-nominated actress has multiple movie credits to her name, a critically acclaimed lead role on Broadway in Irving Berlin’s Annie Get Your Gun, starred in popular sitcoms Happy’s Place (currently renewed for a third season) and Reba (six seasons), and served as a coach and mentor on The Voice (four seasons). McEntire has also proven herself to be a savvy entrepreneur with longstanding brand partnerships including her Dillard’s clothing line and western footwear collection REBA by Justin™. She has even added restaurateur to the list with Reba’s Place, a restaurant, bar, retail and entertainment venue in Atoka, Oklahoma. McEntire’s book Not That Fancy landed on The New York Times Best Sellers list.
Beastie Boy Mike D Drops “What We Got” and Heads to Europe for His First-Ever Live Dates
Mike D follows the “souped-up flavor for your ears” (BILLBOARD) of his recent debut solo single “Switch Up” with the anthemic stomp of “What We Got.” The second helping of the first new music from a Beastie Boy in 15 years, “What We Got” evokes a kindred vibe to “Switch Up” with another unique sonic palette that “feels less like a return to form than a new approach overall” (ROLLING STONE).
With its measured and deliberate tempo and walls of distorted guitars, “What We Got” is the second song to be released from a series of experimental sessions with Mike, his sons Davis and Skyler along with musicians Jason Lader, Benjamin Pacheco, Kevin Rhomberg, Carter Lang and Tyran Donaldson. It was produced by Carter Lang & Tyran Donaldson and mixed by Derek “MixedByAli” Ali at No Name Studios.
The release of “What We Got” arrives on the eve of Mike’s sold out New York shows May 22 and 23 at Xanadu Roller Arts in Brooklyn. Hailed by GRIMY GOODS as “a wild good time,” the Mike D live experience has been playing a handful of intimate pop-up shows in non-traditional venues including Los Angeles’ Plaza Nightclub & Dance Hall, Malibu’s Brothers Marshall Surf Shop, The Ojai Valley Women’s Club and Sid the Cat Auditorium in South Pasadena CA. Additionally, Mike D’s first ever European live dates get underway this summer, full routing is:

German Indie Favorites Giant Rooks and Solann Dive Deep Into Emotional Turbulence on “The Waves”
With “The Waves”, Giant Rooks and Solann deliver an intense, multi-layered single about loss of control and being overwhelmed by emotions in the frame of a crumbling relationship. Moving between tender intimacy and powerful imagery, the song tells the story of a love that endures despite distance and inner conflicts. The song will be premiered on May 22 on German late night TV show „ZDF Magazin Royal“ featuring a first ever live performance by Giant Rooks and Solann.
Giant Rooks have built a reputation as one of Germany’s most compelling modern indie exports – defined by emotional songwriting, a powerful live presence, and steadily growing global reach.
In 2025 Giant Rooks played two completely sold-out shows in their hometown Hamm, Germany, which became an emotional homecoming but also marked a new milestone for the band’s success. Earlier in 2024, they completed their third sold-out North American headline tour, returned as special guest for Louis Tomlinson, and performed major international festival sets including Lollapalooza Chicago, Reading & Leeds, and Corona Capital in Mexico City.
With 4 billion combined streams, a RIAA Gold certification in the US, multiple airplay hits across Europe, and their latest album How Have You Been debuting at #1 on the German album charts, Giant Rooks have proven their sound is not only resonating at home – but has long been internationally relevant.
LISA, Anitta, and Rema Unite on “Goals,” the FIFA World Cup 2026 Album’s Most Global Statement Yet
Today, three of the world’s most culturally dominant artists––LISA, Anitta, and Rema––come together on “Goals,” the latest release from the Official FIFA World Cup 2026 Album, out now via SALXCO UAM & Def Jam Recordings. Arriving alongside its official music video, the track brings one of the album’s most expansive global moments to life. Listen here and watch the video here.
Expanding the album’s cultural and sonic reach, “Goals” draws from Latin pop, Afrobeats, and K-pop––sounds that have helped define the direction of global music. Produced by GRAMMY Award-winning producer Cirkut, the result is a propulsive, rhythm-driven record that moves beyond any one sound or region, reflecting the borderless energy and global scale of the FIFA World Cup. Together, LISA, Anitta, and Rema give the project one of its most immediate and far-reaching releases.
On the collaboration, LISA shares: “Being a part of the Official FIFA World Cup Album this year has been so exciting. Music always unites people across the world, so it has been an honor to work with Anitta and Rema.” Anitta says: “My connection to the World Cup is deeply emotional. I’m Brazilian, after all, of course I have wonderful memories tied to the tournament. It’s incredibly special to now contribute to its history, collaborating with LISA and Rema on ‘Goals’! I’m very grateful for this opportunity.” Rema adds: “Three continents, one track…bringing all our sounds together like this is a big moment for music on the world stage.”
“Goals” follows the releases of “Por Ella” by Los Ángeles Azules & Belinda, “Echo” by Daddy Yankee & Shenseea, and “Illuminate” by Jessie Reyez & Elyanna, each contributing a distinct cultural perspective to the Official FIFA World Cup 202 Album. With “Goals,” the project expands that vision further, connecting artists and audiences across continents through the shared language of the game.
As the Official FIFA World Cup 202 Album continues to unfold, it brings together artists from across continents and genres, reflecting the diversity, scale, and reach of the tournament. The project mirrors the energy and cultural breadth of the global game, serving as a unifying platform where music and sport intersect—connecting fans, communities, and sounds from around the world.

LISA broke three Guinness World Records in 2023 as the most Instagram followers for a K-pop artist (currently at 106 Million followers on the platform), she is also the first solo K-pop winner at both the MTV Video Music Awards and the MTV European Music Awards. In 2024, LISA launched her own management company, LLOUD CO., in an effort to create a platform to showcase her overall vision in music and entertainment that pushes boundaries. In partnership with LLOUD Co. and RCA Records, LISA released her first solo single under the partnership, “Rockstar” which was produced by Ryan Tedder and Sam Homaee. She then joined forces with GRAMMY-winning singer-songwriter Rosalía to release her second single, “New Woman,” followed by her third single, “Moonlit Floor.” She first teased “Moonlit Floor” during her solo festival debut at the Global Citizen Festival in New York City and following the song’s official release, she had a showstopping performance at the Victoria’s Secret Runway Show.

Since breaking through in Brazil, GRAMMY-nominated global superstar Anitta has become the leading artist of a new generation of Latin American music. She was the first Brazilian artist to surpass 35 million monthly listeners on Spotify, and has charted on the Hot 100 more than any other Brazilian female artist. Her 2022 smash hit “Envolver” became the biggest solo debut ever by a Brazilian artist on the Spotify Global Chart and reached #1 on iTunes in 19 countries. That same year, she released her fifth studio album Versions of Me, which earned her the Best New Artist nomination at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards and led to the biggest streaming week ever for a Brazilian artist on Spotify. A dominant force on the international stage, Anitta has won multiple MTV Video Music Awards, including Best Latin for both “Envolver” and “Mil Veces,” becoming the first Brazilian solo artist to win the category. She was also named Best Brazilian Act at the MTV Europe Music Awards for five consecutive years. At the forefront of bringing Brazilian funk to a worldwide audience, Anitta released her sixth studio album Funk Generation in 2024, earning her a second GRAMMY® nomination for Best Latin Pop Album at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards. Her collaboration “BELLAKEO” with Peso Pluma became her highest-charting Billboard Hot 100 hit to date. In April 2026, Anitta released her seventh studio album EQUILIBRIVM and made history as the first Brazilian artist to perform as a musical guest on Saturday Night Live—further cementing her status as one of the most influential global artists redefining the future of Latin pop.
Rema’s musical odyssey has propelled him and Afrobeats to global prominence, transcending borders and captivating audiences worldwide. With critically acclaimed projects, awards, chart topping singles and sold-out tours internationally, Mavin Global artist Rema is on his unassailable ascent to worldwide superstardom. His stellar self-titled debut in 2019 will be remembered for defining a new era in African pop and his follow up effort Rave & Roses is the highest streamed project by an African artist. Just in the past year, the 24 year old artist joined the illustrious Billions club (having amassed over seventy billion streams overall), earned a Billboard Hot 100 #1 hit in “Calm Down” featuring Selena Gomez and rounded out the year with a sold out stadium show at The O2 in London UK performing to over 20,000 fans. He’s claimed many “firsts” in his illustrious career including a Guinness World Record (for the first No. 1 hit on MENA charts) and being the highest charting African artist in history on the Billboard Hot 100 and earn over one billion streams in the US — making Afrobeats history. The following year saw Rema release one of his boldest works of music yet, the sophomore album HEIS. The percussive and high-octane project was Rema’s exploration of the Afrobeats genre that was pioneered by the luminaries that came before him. The album was embraced by fans and critics alike appearing on many “Best of 2024” albums list with Rolling Stone crowning it as the “the strongest contender for the best Afrobeats album of the year.” HEIS also earned Rema his first GRAMMY nomination in the “Best Global Music Album” category. From the outset, his mission has remained steadfast, never wavering in his relentless pursuit of excellence and with this new wave of music, Rema is set to ascend the throne while putting his city on.
23 No. 1 Singles and Counting, Tyler Hubbard Drops Heartland Anthem “Land” With More New Music Coming
With 23 career No. 1 singles and more than 2 billion streams to his name, Tyler Hubbard returns with his brand-new single “Land” via MCA. The release marks the beginning of a new chapter for the multi-platinum entertainer, with more new music coming soon. Listen to “Land” HERE.
Blending nostalgic storytelling with an anthemic chorus, “Land” traces the milestones that define growing up: first loves, first heartbreaks, reckless summers, family wisdom, faith, and finding your footing after the fall. From “a backflip off a bridge in the Cumberland creek” to “that dirt road driveway you pull in on,” Hubbard paints a portrait of American life that feels both deeply personal and universally familiar.
At its emotional center, “Land” delivers a message that resonates far beyond geography. As Hubbard sings, “When the rug gets pulled on your best made plans / It’s how you fall and where you land,” the song becomes an anthem about resilience, perspective and rediscovering what truly matters.
“My new song, ‘Land,’ is about overcoming the hurdles of curveballs life throws our way. We’ve all faced tough seasons that force us to dig deep and trust that even when our plans fall apart, God’s plans are still at work,” says Hubbard. “I hope this song resonates with you and brings hope to anyone walking through a difficult time.”
Written with Hubbard’s signature mix of heartland grit and feel-good energy, “Land” reflects the grounded storytelling and undeniable hooks that have made him one of country music’s most consistent hitmakers. The track arrives as Hubbard prepares to hit the road later this year touring alongside Dan + Shay in addition to solo dates across the country. See dates and purchase tickets HERE.
Already established as one of Nashville’s premier songwriters and performers through his groundbreaking success as one half of Florida Georgia Line, Hubbardcontinues to evolve as a solo artist while maintaining the unmistakable sound and authenticity fans have embraced for more than a decade.
With 23 No. 1 singles, numerous awards, and sold-out tours to his name, Tyler Hubbard has built an extraordinary career as both a songwriter and one half of the multi-platinum duo Florida Georgia Line. As a solo artist, he has continued that momentum, amassing more than 2 billion streams to date.
His Gold-certified debut album, Tyler Hubbard, introduced his first solo No. 1, “5 Foot 9,” which earned 2x Platinum certification from the RIAA. The project also includes “Dancin’ In The Country,” another 2x Platinum hit that topped the charts. Hubbard’s subsequent releases—“Back Then Right Now” and “Park”—each reached No. 1, making him the only country artist to achieve four consecutive chart-toppers across two separate careers and bringing his career total to 23.
He returns with new music this year beginning with the release of “Land” on May 22, with more to follow. Fans can catch him on the road this summer touring with Dan + Shay.

Grammy and BRIT Winner Lola Young Opens a New Chapter With James Blake-Crafted Single “From Down Here”
GRAMMY and BRIT award-winning singer songwriter Lola Young returns today with her new single ‘From Down Here’. Created with James Blake, the track marks Lola’s first new music since the release of her acclaimed album I’m Only F**king Myself and her GRAMMY-winning breakthrough with ‘Messy’.
‘From Down Here’ opens a new chapter for Lola both personally and creatively. Capturing the strange space between joy and pain, longing and clarity, it turns the page on her last album while pointing toward a more sonically expansive and emotionally unguarded phase of her artistry.
Speaking about the new song, Lola shares, “The day after the GRAMMYs, I had a wave of inspiration hit me, so I got in the studio with the incredible James Blake and made this song. I am rewriting the next chapter of my story because what a boring book the old one would’ve been anyway.”
Lola kicked off the year with her GRAMMY nomination for ‘Best New Artist’ and win for ‘Best Pop Solo Performance’ for her hit song ‘Messy,’ which she performed at the globally broadcast ceremony in a stunning, stripped-back rendition. Since then, she’s received a coveted BRIT Award for ‘British Breakthrough Artist’ and her second Ivor Novello award win for ‘PRS for Music Most Performed Work category’ for ‘Messy’.
Next month, Lola is returning to the stage for a run of sold-out headline UK shows that include Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow and two hometown shows in London at O2 Academy Brixton. Lola will bring her live show to the United States at All Things Go in September and Austin City Limits in October. Full routing below and tickets available HERE.
Lola Young is a South London–born artist whose raw, emotionally unfiltered songwriting and rock-tinged pop have made her one of the most compelling new voices in modern music. In 2025, she crossed fully into the global mainstream with her breakout single ‘Messy’, a 2× Platinum cultural moment that reached #14 on the Billboard US Hot 100 and #1 on Billboard’s US Pop Airplay chart in addition to spending 4 weeks at #1 on the UK Official Singles Chart. The track has also surpassed 1 billion streams on Spotify where Lola now reaches tens of millions of listeners.

Olivia Rodrigo Drops “the cure” and Announces Third Album ‘you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love’

With over 36 Million albums sold globally, Rodrigo has received fourteen GRAMMY Award nominations including nods for Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Record of the Year for her work on both SOUR and GUTS. She took home awards for Best New Artist, Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Pop Solo Performance at the 64th GRAMMY Awards. She was named New Artist of the Year at the American Music Awards, Woman of the Year at Billboard’s 2022 Women in Music Awards and Songwriter of the Year at both the ASCAP Pop Music Awards and Variety Hitmakers. She has also received seven Billboard Awards, a Brit, a Juno, and an NME Award while “Olivia Rodrigo: driving home 2 u (a SOUR film)” won Best Music Documentary honors at the 2022 MTV Movie & TV Awards. In 2022, she kicked off her first-ever world tour—a sold-out run that took her to upwards of 40 cities across North America and Europe. In 2024, she embarked on her second world tour – GUTS World Tour, which wrapped in the summer of 2025 after 100 sold-out headline shows in 64 cities across more than 21 countries. Rodrigo was named Billboard’s 2024 Touring Artist of the Year after the massive global success of her GUTS World Tour.
SOUR entered the Billboard 200 at No. 1 and would go on to become the longest-running debut album in the chart’s top 10 of the 21st century—and the first to spend an entire year in the upper echelon. SOUR also entered the charts at No. 1 in the U.K., Canada, Ireland, Norway, Holland, Sweden, Australia, and New Zealand. Upon release, SOUR scored the most U.S. audio streams for a female debut album ever and broke the record for the most-streamed album in a week by a female artist on Spotify.
Praised as an “instant classic” by Rolling Stone, GUTS debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, coinciding with lead single “vampire” returning to the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 and Rodrigo’s No. 1 ranking on the Artist 100, thereby giving her a chart triple. Rodrigo is the first female artist in nearly a decade to debut her first two albums atop the Billboard 200 and the youngest artist in Hot 100 history to debut three hits at No. 1 (“vampire” and SOUR’s “drivers license” and “good 4 u”). GUTS’ remaining 11 tracks charted in the top 40 of the Hot 100. GUTS topped the album charts in over 13 countries, including the UK.
