Dogstar premieres new song ‘This Sphere’ off upcoming ‘All in Now’ album

May 8, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Dogstar has premiered a new song called “This Sphere,” a track off the Keanu Reeves-featuring band’s upcoming album, All in Now.

“The music just had that rolling rhythm, and I didn’t want to distract from that,” frontman Bret Domrose says of “This Sphere.” “So, I basically started playing what Keanu was playing because that’s what the song wants – that pull, that rhythm. Then it opens up in the chorus and gives you a break.”

“It’s a fun ride, that song. Very fun,” Reeves adds.

You can watch the video for “This Sphere” streaming now on YouTube.

All in Now is due out May 29. It’s the follow-up to 2023’s Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees, which marked the first Dogstar album in over 20 years.

Dogstar will launch a U.S. headlining tour in August.

May 8, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Josh Groban is out Friday with his new album, Cinematic, featuring him performing songs associated with movies from multiple eras, and he’ll be performing a number of them on TV next week.

On Monday, May 11, Josh will sing “Skyfall,” Adele’s James Bond theme, on ABC’s Good Morning America. On May 12, he’ll appear on Late Night with Seth Meyers, and on May 14, he’ll sing Ben E. King’s “Stand By Me,” from the Rob Reiner movie of the same name, on The Kelly Clarkson Show.

Other songs on the album include “Remember Me” from Coco, “As Time Goes By” from Casablanca, “Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)” from Against All Odds, “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” from The Lion King, and “Moon River” from Breakfast at Tiffany’s. That last song features a trumpet solo from none other than Josh’s dad, Jack Groban.

Plus, Jennifer Hudson joins Josh for a duet on “Unchained Melody.” While most people remember that song from the movie Ghost, it originally appeared in a 1955 movie called Unchained. Josh will kick off his summer tour with Jennifer June 2 in Montreal, Canada.

In a statement, Josh says, “Bringing these songs to life was an incredibly meaningful experience for me. Each one represents a moment in film that has resonated across generations, and I approached them with a deep respect for their original impact.”

“At the same time, I wanted to find new emotional colors within them and share that sense of discovery with listeners, and I hope people connect with it and enjoy the journey as much as I did making it.”

Cast announced for BBC Beatles series, ‘Hamburg Days’

May 8, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Casting has been announced for a new BBC series that will focus on The Beatles’ early days as a band.

The six-part series, Hamburg Days, is based on the autobiography by German artist and musician Klaus Voormann, and is set in the ’60s when Voormann and photographer Astrid Kirchherr meet a young Liverpool rock band, who are playing in the clubs of Hamburg’s St. Pauli’s red-light district.

The film is set to star Irish actor Rhys Mannion, best known for the Irish thriller It Is In Us All, as John Lennon; Ellis Murphy as Paul McCartney; Harvey Brett as George Harrison; and Rivals’ Louis Landau as Stu Sutcliffe, with Patrick Gilmore playing Pete Best.

Also starring in the film are Luna Jordan as Kirchherr and Casper von Bülow as Voormann.

“Hamburg Days is the fascinating story of how, in the space of two short years, a raw young band from Liverpool honed their music skills in Hamburg, before returning home to become an overnight worldwide success,” Sue Deeks, head of scripted pre-buy acquisitions at the BBC, said when the project was first announced in December. “It is an incredible story, accompanied (of course) by an amazing soundtrack!”

Filming on the series has begun in Hamburg, Munich and Liverpool.

This isn’t the only Beatles story in the works. Sam Mendes is directing The Beatles — A Four-Film Cinematic Event, which consist of four films, each told from the perspective of one of the band members. Due to hit theaters in April 2028, the film stars Paul Mescal as McCartney, Harris Dickinson as Lennon, Joseph Quinn as Harrison and Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr.

In ‘SNL’ promo, Noah Kahan wants to do something with Matt & Ben — the wrong Ben

May 8, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Noah Kahan is returning to Saturday Night Live this weekend as the musical guest, along with fellow New Englander Matt Damon as the host. In one of the promos, he attempts to set up a collab with Matt Damon, but shuns SNL cast member Ben Marshall, who joins them in the promo.

“This is so exciting,” says Kahan. “I’ve always wanted to do something with Matt and Ben.”

“Oh, thanks so much, man. That’s so cool,” responds Ben.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I meant Ben Affleck,” Noah comments.

“Why would you bring that up now?” Ben asks. “It’s the first time I’m seeing Matt,” Noah explains.

“We’d actually love to do something with you,” Matt tells Noah. “Hell yeah. Amazing, thank you,” says Noah. “Huge fan.” Meanwhile, Ben just stands there, looking sad.

In another promo, Ben attempts to make a joke, saying that Noah’s appearance on the show is “More like Skit Season!” As Noah rolls his eyes, Matt admonishes Ben, “It’s your first-ever promo, and you blow it on ‘Skit Season?'” “Come on, you’re better than that, Ben,” says Noah.

“Sorry, let me try that again,” says Ben, and then offers, “More like Noah Ka-ha-ha-han!”

“Oh, hell yeah,” says Matt. “That’s good,” agrees Noah.

Neil Diamond’s new album, Wild At Heart, is out now, and to mark the occasion, the singer has released a new video for the track “You’re Getting to Me,” featuring Girls star Jemima Kirke and Fallout’s Cameron Cowperthwaite.

“I think Neil’s music really resonates with people who want to understand the complicated nature of love and relationships,” says Cowperthwaite. “I’m so happy I got to explore those inner workings with Tim and Jemima. We all really went for it, and I think this is a special thing we got to do.”

Wild At Heart features 10 previously unreleased tracks Diamond recorded while collaborating with producer Rick Rubin. Their collaboration produced two previous albums: 2005’s 12 Songs and Diamond’s first #1 record, 2008’s Home Before Dark.

The songs on Wild At Heart were recorded during the Home Before Dark sessions and featured Diamond recording with musicians including Benmont Tench and Mike Campbell of Tom Petty’s Heartbreakers.

“My work with Rick was a labor of love,” Neil says, “and I’m so gratified that these songs will finally be set free into the world to complete our trilogy of work.”

Wild at Heart is available now on CD, LP and digitally. In addition, digital deluxe editions of 12 Songs and Home Before Dark are out now, featuring bonus tracks previously only available on select physical editions.

May 8, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Heart’s Ann Wilson has released a new song, “Nothing But Love,” a track she co-wrote with the late songwriting legend Burt Bacharach, who passed away in 2023.

”I wrote ‘Nothing But Love’ with Burt Bacharach back in 1999, performed it a few times and then I sort of forgot about it,” says Wilson. “A friend recently asked me about the song and he suggested I finally take it to the studio and release it properly.”

She adds, “I’m proud of what we came up with and I feel quite lucky to have been able to work with Burt. His light remains bright.”

The song is now available via digital outlets and is accompanied by a music video featuring never-before-seen footage of Wilson’s upcoming documentary, In My Voice, directed by Barbara Hall.

Wilson and Hall are set to embark on a screening and Q&A tour in support of In My Voice. The tour begins May 11 in Seattle and wraps June 1 in Boston. Wilson also recently announced a new tour with her band Tripsitter, which kicks off Sept. 11 in The Villages, Florida. A complete list of dates can be found at AnnWilson.com.

Oasis documentary to screen in theaters before streaming on Disney+ and Hulu

May 8, 2026 by WDNY Radio

The Oasis documentary has a theatrical premiere date and a streaming home.

The currently untitled film, which chronicles the “Wonderwall” band’s massive 2025 reunion tour, will screen in IMAX and cinemas worldwide on Sept. 11. It will then come to Disney+ and Hulu later in 2026 in the U.S. and Disney+ internationally.

Oasis’ tour marked the band’s first live shows in 16 years and officially ended the long-running and public feud between the formerly estranged brothers Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher. It included sold-out shows at stadiums around the world, including London’s Wembley Stadium and MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

“I genuinely cannot wait for the world to see this film,” says doc creator and producer Steven Knight in a statement. “I believe it captures the spirit and emotion of a global cultural moment and does justice to the wit and genius of two exceptional people.”

“I wanted to tell the story of the brothers and the band, but just as important, the story of the fans whose lives the music has touched and sometimes changed forever,” Knight continues. “It is also the story of how music and songwriting can unite generations, cultures, countries and in a time of spite and division, give us all some reason to hope.”

Meanwhile, Oasis will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as part of its 2026 class. The induction ceremony will take place Nov. 14 in Los Angeles and will air on ABC and Disney+ in December.

Disney is the parent company of Hulu and ABC News.
