Dry Kill Logic are gearing up for a busy year in 2025. The band has dropped the new single “Now You Belong With the Dead,” produced by Greg Thomas (End, Shai Hulud, Misery Signals) and mastered by Will Putney (Fit For an Autopsy, Better Lovers). It’s a masterclass in storytelling, showcasing the band at their most melodic and their most brutal – fans old and new will immediately feel the impact of this ferocious new track.
“We wrote this song years ago, but it really came to life with Greg in the studio,” states singer Cliff Rigano. “It’s our most dynamic songwriting to date, and we’re stoked for everyone to hear it!”
Maneskin frontman Damiano David has shared a “Live From Vevo Studio” performance video for his brand new single “Voices”, the latest track from his solo album “Funny Little Fears”, which is out now.
Damiano shared, “‘VOICES’ is about my inner battle-everything that pulled me away from myself and from really understanding what I wanted… and more importantly, what I didn’t want. This song is the final piece before the full story unfolds with the album.
” Funny Little Fears is basically my emotional diary from this past year. Writing it helped me work through some deep emotional blocks and anxiety, and let me show a more personal, maybe unexpected, side of myself-both musically and as a person. Releasing ‘VOICES’ before the album feels like opening the last door, inviting everyone into my inner world, without fear.”
Bow down or black out. Unapologetic alt-pop songstress KiNG MALA – aka Areli Castro – enters her reign of chaos with the release of her debut album And You Who Drowned In The Grief Of A Golden Thing.
Inspired by everything from brutalist architecture to Robert Eggar’s The VVitch, Catholicism, Egyptian death lore, Renaissance art, and so much more, And You Who Drowned In The Grief Of A Golden Thing is a thrilling cinematic fever dream that dives into desire vs. obsession, humanity vs. monstrousness – and the consequences of the push/pull.
Of the album, KiNG MALA shares, “This album is the project of my dreams. A perfect culmination of all that inspires me – sonically, conceptually, and visually. It’s everything I’ve ever loved and feared formed into one story. These characters have evolved and changed with me as this album was made, and at the end of its creation, both they and I have transformed.”
To celebrate her coronation, the KiNG has also unveiled the video for “Ode To A Black Hole,” which depicts her tragically glam spiral into an emotional abyss
“Ode To A Black Hole” is about what it feels like to still love the thing that’s killing you. Whether that’s a person or a career or a substance or yourself. It’s a dedication to the worst thing that’s ever happened to you, it’s a tribute to the end of the world, the absence of light,” says MALA. “There’s this perfect moment between when you realize it’s hurting you and when you leave. Ode exists in that space. It’s so painful and yet strangely romantic to love something that takes everything from you.”
Released in 1986, Control marked a radical shift in Janet Jackson’s career and in the sound of contemporary pop and R&B. With Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis at the helm, the album redefined what artistic independence could sound like, blending synthesizers, funk grooves, and confrontational lyrics into a confident, polished body of work. Beyond its commercial and critical success, Control is full of surprising decisions, defiant choices, and creative breakthroughs that shaped the music industry for years to come.
Here are five lesser-known facts that reveal the full scope of what went into Control.
1. The entire album was recorded far from Los Angeles—on purpose. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis insisted that Control be made at their Minneapolis studio, not in Los Angeles, where Janet’s father Joseph could oversee the process. Their condition: no bodyguards, no family interference, and full creative control. This geographic separation allowed Jackson to shed the constraints of her past and focus entirely on developing her own voice—musically and personally.
2. Janet co-wrote and co-produced many of the tracks, despite being new to the process. Though she had not taken creative control on her previous albums, Jackson was deeply involved in shaping Control. Jam and Lewis started by listening—spending their first week together simply talking with her. As she opened up, the songs evolved to reflect her real-life experiences, from personal loss to street harassment, with Janet stepping up to help compose arrangements and lyrics.
3. “Nasty” was inspired by a real incident that happened during recording. While staying at a Minneapolis hotel, Jackson was confronted by a group of men who harassed her outside. Instead of seeking help, she stood her ground—an experience that directly fueled the attitude and lyrics of “Nasty.” The signature triplet swing rhythm was crafted by Jam on an Ensoniq Mirage, and the aggressive tone of the track became a defining influence on the emerging new jack swing sound.
4. “What Have You Done for Me Lately” was a last-minute addition. Originally meant for Jam and Lewis’s own project, this song was added late in the recording process after A&M executive John McClain asked for one more uptempo track. The lyrics were rewritten to reflect Janet’s recent annulment from James DeBarge. It became the lead single and the perfect distillation of the album’s central theme: taking ownership of one’s voice, life, and choices.
5. The album cover was a visual declaration of independence. Janet’s sharp, futuristic look—styled by illustrator Tony Viramontes—helped establish her as a fashion icon. With big hair, an all-black ensemble, and angular lines, the imagery was bold, modern, and entirely her own. For the first time, Janet wasn’t being styled as someone’s little sister—Control was her aesthetic, her message, her power.
Control reshaped not only Janet Jackson’s career but the landscape of pop and R&B itself. Its impact can still be felt in the way artists blend personal storytelling with electronic production and bold visual style. These hidden details highlight how Control was more than a musical statement—it was a blueprint for self-definition and artistic reinvention.
Today, critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Reneé Rapp has released her long-awaited second studio album BITE ME (via InterscopeRecords). The 12-song offering includes previously released tracks “Mad”, “Why Is She Still Here?”, and fan-favorite “Leave Me Alone”, which served as the first single from Rapp’s bold new era. BITE ME is a raw, unfiltered, and vulnerable album about owning your narrative and embracing self-acceptance in its truest form, and like Rapp herself, creates a community for unfiltered self-expression.
To celebrate her sophomore album, Rapp performed standout track “Shy” for the first time on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert – watch the stellar performance HERE. She’ll continue with the special BITE ME Album Release Show tonight at Warsaw in Brooklyn and the BITE ME North American headlining tour, which kicks off September 23rd in Colorado at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Her largest tour to date, the 16-city run includes major arena plays at venues across the country including the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York, TD Garden in Boston, and The Kia Forum in Los Angeles. Speculation around the news began last month, when Reneé Rapp-branded tabloids began to pop up at newsstands across the country with easter eggs hinting at the upcoming announce. Find full list of dates below and more information HERE.
Earlier this summer, Rapp revealed the BITE.ME website, urging fans to ‘sign a hundred NDA’s’ ultimately revealing a slew of hints about the yet-to-be-announced album. In the weeks following, the internet erupted with ‘Bite Me’ related clues – from Rapp’s “Bite Me” lip tattoo to posts from the likes of Paris Hilton, Charlize Theron, Monica Lewinsky, Gabby Windey, and more. Since kicking off the campaign, the anticipation for the project has grown exponentially with each single. In May, Rapp performed “Leave Me Alone” live for the first time during the 2025 American Music Awards.
Just a few weeks later, she released her second single from the project “Mad” which she performed live on release day during The Today Show’s Summer Concert Series.
This exciting new chapter marks Rapp’s first music release since 2023, when she collaborated with GRAMMY award-winning artist Megan Thee Stallion on hit record “Not My Fault” from the official soundtrack to Paramount’s feature film MEAN GIRLS (which also saw Rapp reprising her iconic role of Regina George). The song earned Rapp’s highest ever day one streams on Spotify to date and saw a legendary performance between the two stars on Saturday Night Live. Earlier that same year, Rapp released her first studio album Snow Angel, earning her the largest first-week sales for a female artist’s debut album in the U.S. upon release. That fall, she embarked on the ‘Snow Hard Feelings Tour’ in support of the project, a sold-out headlining run met with massive demand, featuring four nights in New York and one in Los Angeles at the iconic Greek Theatre. Now, with the release of her sophomore effort, Rapp is positioned to ascend to even higher levels of stardom in this next era.

On September 5th, Rhino celebrates the enduring legacy of WAR with The CD Collection 1971–1975—a deluxe five-disc box set honoring the band’s groundbreaking early years and continuing the year-long celebration of their landmark album Why Can’t We Be Friends?. This beautifully packaged collection features five essential albums—WAR (1971), All Day Music (1971), The World Is A Ghetto (1972), Deliver The Word (1973), and Why Can’t We Be Friends? (1975)—capturing the band’s first chapter following the departure of former frontman Eric Burdon. These albums mark the creative emergence of WAR as a singular force in American music—fusing funk, jazz, Latin rhythms, soul, rock, and psychedelia into a genre-defying sound all their own.
Housed in a striking package featuring original artwork by acclaimed illustrator Dave Van Patten, whose surreal, hand-drawn style channels the same boundary-pushing energy that defined WAR’s music and message, each album delivers the most vibrant and immersive listening experience to date.
Following 2021’s Record Store Day vinyl exclusive, this CD box set is a must-have for both longtime collectors and new listeners—offering a fresh lens into WAR’s most iconic era. From the streetwise poetry of The World Is A Ghetto to the unifying call of Why Can’t We Be Friends?, these albums remain as powerful, joyful, and relevant as ever.
2025 marks the 50th anniversary of Why Can’t We Be Friends?, WAR’s blockbuster album that helped define the sound of the ‘70s. As Variety says, “When it comes to low rider Cali-cool multiculturalism, WAR wrote the biggest, loudest book.” That legacy continues to grow, with the band reaching new milestones and long-overdue recognition. After kicking off the celebration with a national performance at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, WAR was honored earlier this summer with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, cementing their impact on American music and culture.
Fresh off that celebration, the band returned from a triumphant European tour filled with career-defining moments. At the Love Supreme Festival, WAR was joined by surprise guest Questlove, who jumped behind the kit for a fiery encore of the timeless hit “Low Rider.” He later praised the band on Instagram, writing: “I’d never thought I’d see a 70s unit actually nail the groove and funk of their peak period…” Now, The CD Collection 1971–1975 gives a new generation of listeners the chance to experience WAR at their creative peak: five classic albums, newly remastered and reimagined, capturing the heart, soul, and revolutionary spirit of one of the most vital bands of the 20th century.
It’s become commonplace to hear the words, “I can’t believe it’s been 50 years since that album came out!” That exclamation comes this year for legendary rockers FOGHAT–Roger Earl (founding drummer), Bryan Bassett (guitar), Scott Holt (lead vocals/guitar), and Rodney O’Quinn (bass)– whose Platinum-selling fifth album, FOOL FOR THE CITY (which gave us the rock anthems “Slow Ride” and the title track) was originally released on September 15, 1975.
To celebrate this illustrious occasion, Rhino Records is releasing the 50th Anniversary Edition of FOOL FOR THE CITY on September 12, 2025. This special reissue available as a double-vinyl or double-CD version, features the newly remastered original tracks, as well as an electrifying bonus disc featuring a never-before-released live album recorded during two live performances at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago in 1975. Pre-order info is here.
A limited number of autographed CDs and vinyl can be pre-ordered now on TalkShop.Live, which will include an exclusive insert signed by Roger Earl and producer Nick Jameson. On Wednesday, August 6 at 4:00pm PT/7:00pm ET, Roger Earl and producer Nick Jameson will appear on the site’s Rock & Roll Channel with their good friend and host Steve Harkins for an in-depth discussion about FOOL FOR THE CITY and the incredible bonus material on the 50th Anniversary package.
Captured and performed by multi-talented bassist/producer Nick Jameson—the mastermind behind both FOOL FOR THE CITY and 1977’s legendary FOGHAT LIVE—these raw, high-energy recordings have been resurrected nearly 50 years later. Mixed and mastered by Jameson himself at a studio in Reykjavik, Iceland, the result is a time capsule of pure rock fury. The CD edition will also include two bonus live tracks and a brand new interview with founding drummer Roger Earl and Jameson, diving into the making of “Slow Ride” and the magic behind the FOOL FOR THE CITY sessions.
“Nick is a genius,” says Earl. “He worked tirelessly to make these live tracks as powerful as his original LIVE mixes—and we are absolutely thrilled with the results.” Check out more from him about the album on this video posted on the band’s YouTube page.
“From the iconic album cover, to the first 30 seconds of the opening track, FOOL FOR THE CITY 50 years later is still as relevant today as in 1975,” declares bassist Rodney O’Quinn. “A go to album while cruising down the highway of life. “
Lead/slide guitarist Bryan Bassett who has mixed, produced and mastered all of Foghat’s releases since 2000 says, “Included in this release are several ‘live’ recordings from the band in 1975. The mixes for these live tracks were done by the multi-talented producer/engineer/ musician Nick Jameson who was the producer on the original FOOL FOR THE CITY record. An awesome set of rare bonus tracks for your FOGHAT collection. “
As singer Scott Holt exclaims, “FOOL FOR THE CITY, birthplace of ‘Slow Ride,’ as well as one the greatest most iconic album covers ever, the music inside this masterpiece continues to excite and entertain and 50 years on, still being embraced, consumed, treasured, streamed and played on radio stations all over the world! FOGHAT has an embarrassingly rich catalog, but the body of work that is FOOL FOR THE CITY is a standard of great American Rock & Roll! And now, remastered with bonus live tracks?!? What a great time to be alive and rocking out to FOGHAT!”
“I am absolutely thrilled that the four merry lads who created Slow Ride can at long last be heard performing together live,” says Nick Jameson. “This performance happened mere weeks after we recorded the FOOL FOR THE CITY album, and we were at the absolute top of our game. And I’m so happy that FOOL FOR THE CITY once again sounds the way it did when it was first released. Love always to Dave and Rod; they live on in this music!”
And the party doesn’t stop there. FOGHAT wants their legions of loyal fans to help celebrate. They’re being invited to design their own version of the iconic FOOL FOR THE CITY album cover for a chance to win big. The Grand Prize is a trip for two to Las Vegas, NV to hang out with the band at their September
13 show at the Cannery Hotel & Casino. Second and third place winners will score exclusive band merchandise. All entries will be showcased in a special 50th Anniversary tribute video and on FOGHAT’s social media. Fans should submit their designs by August 15 on the band’s website. Download the original background HERE and let their imagination run wild.
FOGHAT is still making chart-topping music and touring all over North America, the U.K. and Europe 50 years later. Their latest album, SONIC MOJO, was released November 10, 2023, and remained on the Billboard Top 10 “Blues Albums” chart for 34 weeks, including two weeks at #1. It is the first time the band has ever landed at #1 on any of Billboard’s charts after a new album release. Even “Slow Ride” had never reached #1. SONIC MOJO is available in various formats, including a single CD boasting 12 electrifying tracks in a stunning six-page digipak and digital copies. For vinyl enthusiasts, there’s a limited edition 180gram, neon purple vinyl version featuring 11 tracks and a gatefold jacket, as well as extra special CD and vinyl bundles. The album’s four singles, “Drivin’ On,” “She’s a Little Bit of Everything” (co-written by the late Kim Simmonds from Savoy Brown), “Black Days & Blue Nights,” and “I Don’t Appreciate You” are streaming on all digital outlets and the band’s official YouTube page.
Vintage Guitar has immense praise for SONIC MOJO. “Few things in life are guaranteed – but one is that drummer Roger Earl will keep FOGHAT truckin’…FOGHAT’s trademark sound is here, with fresh twists planted in the blues – and even country…FOGHAT’s blistering guitar-boogie boogies on!”
The band’s journey began in 1971, and their legacy is written in Rock & Roll history with their classic hits “Fool for the City,” “Slow Ride,” and “I Just Wanna Make Love To You,” eight Gold records, one Platinum record, and one double-Platinum record. Through ups and downs, tragedies, and triumphs, one thing remains constant: FOGHAT’s unwavering dedication to music. It’s all about the music, always has been and always will be.
Here is the track listing for the 50th anniversary edition of FOOL FOR THE CITY:
Madonna celebrates the 40th anniversary of her quintessential single “Dress You Up” with three track digital release, out today.

With the tragic news this week of the passing of the doll designers and Madonna superfans Mario Paglino and Gianni Grossi, she dedicates this release to them. In a statement, she writes, ‘Thank you for dressing up so many of your creations in Madonna iconic looks over the years.’
“Dress You Up” Track Listing:
Dress You Up Remix/Edit – 3:48
2. Dress You Up The 12″ Formal Mix – 6:18
3. Dress You Up The Casual Instrumental Mix – 4:38
Released in October 1988, Daydream Nation stands as a turning point in Sonic Youth’s catalog and in alternative rock at large. With its open-ended song structures, noise-driven improvisations, and experimental tunings, the double album captured a raw yet composed intensity that connected the downtown New York art scene with a new generation of indie rock fans. While it’s widely celebrated for its influence and ambition, the album’s creation also involved a series of overlooked details and oddv choices that give it its enduring mystique.
Here are five surprising facts about Daydream Nation that even longtime fans may not know.
1. The album’s mixing deadline forced an all-nighter to finish the “Trilogy.” Although most of the recording was efficiently handled, time ran short as the band approached their August mastering date. With pressure mounting, Sonic Youth spent an entire night finalizing the mix for the ambitious three-song suite known as the “Trilogy” (“The Wonder,” “Hyperstation,” “Eliminator Jr.”). Kim Gordon later noted that some of her vocals were rushed, and she remained unsatisfied with a few takes—an unusual admission for a project often viewed as meticulously executed.
2. The producer was a hip-hop engineer who had never worked with a rock band. Nick Sansano had previously engineered Public Enemy’s “Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos” and Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock’s “It Takes Two,” but Daydream Nation was his first time working with a guitar-based band. His background in layered, sample-heavy production influenced the album’s drum sound and dense mix. Sonic Youth embraced his unfamiliarity with rock conventions, and that outsider approach helped shape the album’s unusual sonic character.
3. “Providence” was built from a home-recorded piano and voicemail messages. The haunting interlude “Providence” is constructed from a lo-fi Walkman recording of Thurston Moore playing piano at his mother’s house, layered with voicemails left by Mike Watt from a payphone in Providence, Rhode Island. The static-laced amp noise included in the track came from an overheating Peavey Roadmaster. Rather than treating it as filler, the band used this collage as a purposeful pause—highlighting their interest in non-linear, ambient storytelling.
4. The guitar tunings were more complex than most fans realize. Sonic Youth’s alternate tunings on Daydream Nation weren’t just experimental—they were borderline mathematical. For example, “Teen Age Riot” used a rare pentatonic GABDEG tuning for Moore’s part and a GGDDGG setup for Ranaldo. These tunings were created not for novelty, but to access chord voicings and dissonant intervals that standard tuning simply couldn’t provide, giving the songs their signature harmonic tension.
5. The band originally considered titling the album Tonight’s the Day. “Daydream Nation” is a lyric pulled from the song “Hyperstation,” but another working title was Tonight’s the Day—a nod to Neil Young’s Tonight’s the Night. The phrase also appears in “Candle,” one of the album’s more melodic tracks. Ultimately, Daydream Nation better captured the album’s scale, ambition, and its merging of dreamlike abstraction with political unease.
Daydream Nation endures not just because of what it sounded like in 1988, but because of how thoroughly it captured the tension, ambition, and experimentation of its moment. These lesser-known details reveal a band operating on instinct and intent, weaving punk, poetry, noise, and structure into something expansive and alive. Even today, its influence echoes—still jarring, still open, still on fire.
