Chris Janson’s ‘Fun’ (Harpeth 60 Records/Warner Music Nashville)
The men behind “Buy Me a Boat” and “Dust on the Bottle” are getting together to have some “Fun.”
Chris Janson teased his new collaboration with David Lee Murphy on his socials on Wednesday.
“They can’t say we didn’t have fun! New song and music video feat. @davidleemurphy out Friday,” he revealed, along with a snippet of the video.
“We had a truckload of it/ Fun/ Yeah, we couldn’t get enough of it/ Fun’s what you get when we all get together/ Say what you want, but you can’t say we didn’t have fun,” the two sing in a clip that shows them doing exactly that.
“Fun” follows “Easy to Love, Harder to Hold,” which Chris put out at the end of January.

Kid Cudi is giving fans an inside look at his music-making process on his newly launched Twitch channel, Kid Cudi Presents: Someone Cooked Here. He had his first livestream on Tuesday, where he chopped it up, freestyled and worked in the studio alongside Dot Da Genius.
His goal is to allow fans to see what goes on behind the scenes, an experience he wishes he could have had with his favorite musicians.
“I started this because I’ve always dreamed of being a fly on the wall in some of my favorite artists sessions, and decided it would be cool to give u guys VIP access,” he wrote on Instagram ahead of the release. “Who knows what we’ll make, who knows who will show up, get ready. U just got a ticket into my world. Welcome.”
Following the nearly six-hour stream, Cudi took to Instagram to express his gratitude for those who tuned in.
“Thank You to everyone for the subs, the love, all the gifts u sent, the support was DEF felt and MUCH appreciated,” he wrote, alongside a video clip from the livestream. “Im so geeked I cant sleep! We had 12k people watching and over 600 subs.”
“The team was sayin these are strong numbers for a first stream,” he continued. “So guess what? ROUND 2 OF ‘SOMEONE COOKED HERE’ TOMORROW!!”
The livestream is set to begin Wednesday at 1 p.m. PT. Cudi says if he reaches 1,000 subs, fans can vote for the song they’d like for him to release. “The best thing about being independent is I can do what I want,” he concluded.

“Stay safe and thank you for your understanding,” the post adds. “We can’t wait to see you and make these shows unforgettable.”

Slash is executive producing a new documentary called Black Zombie.
The film, directed by Maya Annik Bedward, “unearths the buried origins of the zombie, reclaiming it as a symbol of survival and spiritual resistance,” according to a press release.
“I’ve always believed horror reflects the fears and truths buried in society,” the Guns N’ Roses guitarist says in a statement. “BLACK ZOMBIE uncovers the real origins behind one of horror’s most iconic figures, and I’m proud to help bring that story forward.”
Black Zombie is set to premiere March 13 at the 2026 South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas.
In addition to shredding songs like “Welcome to the Jungle” and “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” Slash is known for being a horror aficionado. He’s long provided the score to the Halloween Horror Nights Universal Monsters haunted house at Universal Studios Hollywood.
Kacey Musgraves’ ‘Middle of Nowhere’ (Lost Highway)
Kacey Musgraves’ sixth studio album, Middle of Nowhere, is set to arrive May 1 and includes guest appearances from Miranda Lambert, Willie Nelson and Billy Strings.
It was inspired by a sign in her hometown that reads “Golden, TX: Somewhere in the Middle of Nowhere” — and also by her private life.
“The bulk of this record was made during the longest single period of my life,” Kacey reveals, “and I found that for the first time, it actually felt incredible being alone and existing in a space not defined by anyone else. I became fascinated with the concept of liminal space, both geographical and emotional. We don’t linger in these transitional, empty spaces long enough and rush to define where or whatever is next.”
You can get your first taste of the album with the music video for “Dry Spell.”
“I became so at ease with being in the ‘middle of nowhere’ in many senses and sitting in the un-comfort of the undefined,” Kacey continues. “I had a lot of time for creative ambling and leaning into myself in different ways; horses, humor, writing with my early collaborators again, and living out my very simple, inspired life between Texas, Tennessee, and Mexico.”
Here’s the complete track listing for Kacey Musgraves’ Middle of Nowhere, the follow-up to 2024’s Deeper Well: “Middle of Nowhere” “Dry Spell” “Back on the Wagon” “I Believe in Ghosts” “Abilene” “Coyote” (feat. Gregory Alan Isakov) “Loneliest Girl” “Everybody Wants To Be a Cowboy” (feat. Billy Strings) “Horses and Divorces” (feat. Miranda Lambert) “Uncertain, Texas” (feat. Willie Nelson) “Rhinestoned” “Mexico Honey” “Hell on Me”

Kelly Clarkson interviews Daniel Radcliffe, L, and Rob Rausch, R, on ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show’ (Weiss Eubanks/NBC Universal)
Kelly Clarkson has a bone to pick with American Idol. Yes, the show made her a household name, but she claims she never received the prizes she was promised for winning the reality competition.
While she was interviewing Traitors season 4 winner Rob Rausch on Tuesday’s episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, Rausch noted that he hadn’t received his prize money yet. “I relate to this so hardcore,” Kelly replied. “I literally was on the show, and they were like, ‘Oh, you win a million dollars’ or whatever. No, you didn’t. They lied. … It was like, a million dollars’ worth of investment in you.”
“And then they said you get a car, and I needed it ‘cause my car was bashed in, and I couldn’t afford the deductible,” she continued. “And then no! I did not get a car. And then Clay Aiken, who didn’t win the second season, got a car — and his mom!”
“I was like, ‘What the f***?’ I remember Clay telling me that the second season,” Kelly continued. “He’s like, ‘Yeah, they gave my mom one.’ I was like, ‘I’m gonna actually kick your a** right now.’”
Turning to Rausch, Kelly added, “That’s why I’m saying, you might not see it. You might not see it. But, you know, I hope you got enough TV time.”
