August 14, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Arin Ray has released a six-track EP titled Limbo, on which he “explores love, self-worth, healing, and emotional accountability,” according to a press release. It was “written during a period of transition,” the release adds, and “captures the uncertainty that comes with standing between chapters while embracing the possibility of what’s next.”

Ayra Starr is a Starrgirl, according to the name of her new album. The project features previously released tracks “Where Do We Go” and “Tornado,” as well as collaborations with Leon Thomas, Wizkid and more.

Ahead of what would have been Nipsey Hussle’s 41st birthday is the release of Prolific, his joint album with Bino Rideaux. Created nearly a decade ago, it’s on streaming services. New merch bundles, cassettes, CDs and vinyls are also available for purchase.

Quavo’s new song “Trance” is out now, giving fans another preview of his upcoming album, QRÖMELIFE, which is executive produced by Pharrell. “Working with Pharrell means you need to be versatile – a sound bender, a wave creator and a trend setter. He levels you up,” Quavo says in a statement. The video is available on YouTube.

After teasing the track, Kash Doll has released the Alex Vaughn-assisted “NWM,” an abbreviation of the phrase used within the song, “n**** with money.” “I hope u guys love it,” she wrote on Instagram, while shouting out Tia Kemp, whose voice is featured on the song. The lyric video is on YouTube.

Other releases:

Busta Rhymes, J Dilla, Lil Wayne, “Talk Ya S***“

Trippie Redd, NDA

Fridayy, Tension

Foghat announces new live album, ‘Live & Loud Across the U.S.A.’

August 14, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Foghat is set to release a new live album this fall.

Live & Loud Across the U.S.A., dropping Oct. 30, will be the band’s first-ever live album featuring their current lineup — founding member and drummer Roger Earl, lead guitarist Bryan Bassett, lead vocalist/guitarist Scott Holt and bassist Rodney O’Quinn.

The set features songs recorded during the band’s 2024 and 2025 tours of the U.S. It will be available as a two-CD set, or as a triple vinyl release, which will include two gold vinyl LPs, with a bonus red vinyl LP featuring a reissue of Shaken & Stirred, a 2018 album that was released under the band name Earl & the Agitators. The release will mark the first time the latter has ever been available on vinyl.

As a preview of the set, Foghat has released a live performance of “My Babe.” It is available now via digital outlets.

“People often ask me if we’re ever going to slow down. The answer is… not yet!” says Earl. “The performances on this album were recorded in cities across the United States during the past two years. We didn’t set out to make a live record—we simply wanted to capture Foghat doing what we’ve always loved to do: playing live.”

He adds, “Most of these songs have never been released as official live recordings before, and I think they show where the band is today.”

Live & Loud Across the U.S.A. is available for preorder now.

Foghat is currently on a tour of the U.S. They play Lincoln Park, Michigan, on Aug. 28. A complete list of dates can be found at Foghat.com.

New Music Friday: Andy Grammer, Benny Blanco and more

August 14, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Andy Grammer has released “All I Want Is You,” another track from his upcoming album, Big Stupid Heart, due out Oct. 16. Andy says of the song, “I can get pretty caught up in chasing the next thing – the next goal, the next accomplishment, whatever I’ve decided is going to make me feel like I’ve finally arrived. ‘All I Want Is You’ is a reminder to myself in song form that my wife and daughters are my north star.”

Benny Blanco has released a new album called Hermoso, which means “beautiful” in Spanish. It’s an album that shows off his love for Latin music and features a series of collaborations with artists in that space, including Becky G, The Marías, Myke Towers and of course his wife, Selena Gomez.

Natasha Bedingfield has returned with a new song, “Dot Dot Dot,” her first new release in quite a while. The “Unwritten” singer met her co-writer at the home of a pro hockey player, and she says, “To be at an athlete friend’s house felt like parallels to being in the ring and being punched down and asking yourself ‘Why should I keep doing this?’ Then you just get back up and stay because human beings need art. We make art out of the hard stuff we go through. We alchemize it.”

James Blunt is back with a new song called “Taste of Summer,” an upbeat jam that does not sound like “You’re Beautiful” at all. The video features James’ trademark black humor: it shows him boating, driving in a convertible, dancing, drinking on a balcony and frolicking in the water with a guy who’s tied up with a bag over his head and tape across his mouth, like a kidnap victim. The end of the video strongly suggests that James has killed the man and that cannibalism may be involved.

Cardi B accuses BIA of talking behind her back in fiery rant

August 14, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Cardi B unleashed a rant targeting BIA, addressing infidelity rumors, questioning her street credibility and accusing her of switching up after once wanting to be cool with her.

It started on X Spaces Wednesday, seemingly in response to BIA’s exchange with a user on X. The user posted a clip of BIA previewing her song “Sue Me?” and wrote, “Can we talk about this and how awful it is?” BIA responded, “Ok then Talk about how it was ALL true,” prompting Cardi to chime in.

Cardi addressed rumors BIA allegedly spread claiming she cheated on Offset, insisting she was faithful throughout their seven-year relationship.

“Let’s talk about how months later your dumb a** told one of my ex-husband friend that I was cheating on him,” Cardi said on X Spaces. “One thing about me in the industry, nobody could ever say that I was f*****’ with nobody,” she continued. “Not even in the industry, even in the streets. … I was always, for the seven years that I was with this f*** n****. I was always faithful.”

Cardi also claimed BIA used to want to be cool with her before switching up and talking about her behind her back to people in the industry. She accused BIA of claiming she wanted to be like her and copying her music.

She also alleged that one of BIA’s friends slept with Offset and challenged BIA’s street cred.

“You’re not a street b****. You from muthaf*****’ Boston. You from the good part of Boston at that,” Cardi said, adding that BIA didn’t know “how s*** in the Bronx get down.”

The rant comes shortly after Cardi announced her partnership with Old Navy. During a recent livestream, she called the deal “a full-circle moment,” recalling that she used to steal from the retailer in high school.

Hear previously unreleased outtake of Phil Collins’ cover of The Beatles’ ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’

August 14, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Phil Collins is offering up another preview of the upcoming expanded reissue of his debut album, Face Value.

The latest is an outtake of the track “Tomorrow Never Knows,” described as Collins’ “experimental cover” of The Beatles song, which appeared on their 1966 album Revolver.

Face Value (Full Value), dropping Sept. 18, is a four-LP set that features a remastered version of the original album. It also comes with three LPs of bonus material, made up of rare and unreleased live recordings, demos and outtakes. It also includes a brand-new interview with Collins in the liner notes. Face Value will also be released on Blu-ray, featuring upgraded audio.

Face Value (Full Value) is available for preorder now.

Originally released in February 1981, Face Value was recorded while Collins’ band Genesis was on a break. It became an instant hit for the rocker, topping the chart in the U.K. and peaking at #3 in the U.S.

The album’s leadoff single, “In the Air Tonight,” peaked at #19 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. It went on to be one of Collins’ signature songs, thanks in part to its iconic drum track.

The new release comes as Collins is set to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist in November. He was previously inducted as a member of Genesis in 2010.

‘Wannabe’ in your ‘Shoes’: Gavin Adcock’s new perspective

August 14, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Newcomer Gavin Adcock weighs the cost of his success in his new track, “Shoes.”

“I’ll have to admit/ I don’t have a problem paying bills/ But I don’t ever make it back home/ To any of Mama’s Sunday meals,” he sings. “And I had a friend/ The last time we talked/ We didn’t see eye-to-eye/ And I was off, way out west/ When they said he died.”

Gavin co-wrote the song from his third studio album in three years.

“‘Shoes’ is about how everybody looks in the mirror and for some reason thinks their life isn’t good enough,” he reflects. “They look at other people and think the grass is greener on the other side. It’s a reminder for everybody that we’ve only got one life. Live it. Love it. Make the best out of it!”

The Day I Hang It Up arrives Oct. 2 and included his current radio single, “Wannabe.”
