Bazzi’s back: His third album, Infinite Dream, dropped on Friday.

In a statement, Bazzi says that there’s “something for everyone on this album,” adding, “It’s a wide net, because I’m touching on so many different things.”

He adds, “I’m becoming more of myself. I’m changing every day. I’m focusing on making the right decisions in relationships and creating great ideas. I think you’ll get to see me through my art. I can’t wait to show everyone what I’ve been up to.”

The 19-track album includes previously released singles “Heaven,” “I Like That,” “Young & Alive,” “Miss America” and “Will It Ever Feel the Same?” The official video for “Heaven” has also premiered. “Heaven” interpolates “(Feels Like) Heaven,” a 1983 song by Scottish new wave band Fiction Factory.

Check out advance track from late John Entwistle’s ‘Rarities Oxhumed’ compilation

September 16, 2022 by WDNY Radio

The first taste of late Who bassist John Entwistle‘s upcoming compilation, Rarities Oxhumed — Volume One, has arrived.

A newly remastered version of “I’ll Try Again Today” was released Friday as an advance digital single. The song previously appeared on The John Entwistle Band‘s 2000 album, Music for Van-Pires.

As previously reported, the 13-track album, which will be released on CD October 21, features previously unheard studio tracks, demos, remastered live performances and other unreleased gems, mostly from Entwistle’s solo career.

The compilation includes a song called “Bogey Man,” which includes a guest appearance by late Who drummer Keith Moon, and a demo version of “Where Ya Going Now,” a tune that John had intended for The Who to record.

Rarities Oxhumed — Volume One also features several tracks that appeared on Music for Van-Pires, which was The John Entwistle Band’s final album, as well as that group’s live renditions of The Who’s “Trick of the Light” and the Roger Daltrey solo hit “Under a Raging Moon.”

Rarities Oxhumed — Volume One is the first in a series of planned Entwistle compilations that are being put together by Entwistle Band drummer Steve Luongo and the Deko Entertainment label.

“John and I began touring together in 1987. Every tour was more fun than the last. That was the idea. Play loud aggressive rock & roll, have fun, laugh our a**es off, travel to the next gig, and repeat,” Luongo says. “During the 15 years that we worked together as a rhythm section, we remained true to that cause. Along the way we recorded some records and created a sizable catalog of ideas and material for the future. The future is now.”

You can preorder the album, as well as special bundles, now at Merchbucket.com.

In a Facebook post last week, Fieldy wrote that Stillwell “has nothing to do with Korn or my status with Korn or anything else.”

Korn, meanwhile, released a new album called Requiem earlier this year. They’ve been supporting the record on a tour with Evanescence, which concludes Friday in Ridgefield, Washington.

Gunna presents Gunna Family Fest 2022 Saturday in Georgia

September 16, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Despite being incarcerated, Gunna is presenting Gunna Family Fest 2022 on Saturday in College Park, Georgia, to mark the celebration of the second annual Gunna Day.

The “Drip Too Hard” rapper has been in Fulton County Jail since his arrest in May stemming from a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act conspiracy indictment. Young Thug and more than two dozen other defendants were also arrested and accused of being members of the Young Slime Life gang.

In June, Gunna sent an open letter to fans claiming he was “being falsely accused” and vowed to “never stop fighting to clear my name.” He has been denied bond twice by the judge overseeing the case.

Last year, the City of South Fulton, Georgia, declared September 16 Gunna Day.

On Saturday, the Gunna Family Fest 2022 will feature a variety of rides, games, food and free merchandise.

Lance Bass believes Britney Spears will be “back on that stage at some point”

September 16, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Lance Bass, like many supporters of Britney Spears, understands where the pop star was coming from when she revealed she will “probably never perform again.”

Speaking to Rolling Stone, the NSYNC member said he supports Britney no matter what she decides, saying, “I want her to do whatever she feels comfortable with for sure.”

Britney’s 13-year conservatorship was terminated last year and in the months since the singer has made alarming claims about the abuse she allegedly suffered while under the care of her father, Jamie Spears. The Grammy winner said she doesn’t want to perform because she’s been traumatized by the ordeal.

“I’m sure she’s not thinking about performing and being on set anywhere,” Lance explained, “but I know Britney, and she loves performing. She loves being an entertainer, and I see her back on that stage at some point.”

While Lance doesn’t know when Britney will return to the stage, he said, “We all want her to make new music.”

Noting her new single “Hold Me Closer” with the legendary Elton John, Lance continued, “We got a little tease with Elton John, so we want a full album. If she tours with it or not doesn’t matter. We just want the music … We’re all supporting her.”

Lance shared an update on the “Lucky” singer and said she is “doing great” now that’s she’s surrounding herself with friends — and that includes him.

“She seems super happy,” he explained. “She’s just dealing with coming down from this traumatic experience the last 10 years of her life, and I think that takes a lot of getting used to … She’s got a lot of trauma to deal with.”

Blake Shelton might be less competitive on ‘The Voice’ now that he’s married to fellow coach Gwen Stefani

September 16, 2022 by WDNY Radio

If you’re wondering whether Blake Shelton’s lost his fiery competitive spirit as a coach on The Voice now that he’s married to one of his fellow coaches, Gwen Stefani, the answer is … well, maybe.

Blake, Gwen and the rest of the Voice gang sat down with E! Insider ahead of the season premiere, and when asked whether he’s gone soft, Blake explained that he’s got to think twice now before coming after other coaches.

“You start to lose a little bit of your edge because she’s your weakness,” coach John Legend told Blake during the conversation, also saying that Gwen — who doesn’t claim to be that competitive of a person — is getting fierier in the new season.

But Blake has a different perspective: He’s actually less cautious about not offending Gwen now that they’re married, he says.

“I think it’s more competitive now because it’s a lot harder to break up when you’re married,” Blake points out. “We could have a huge fight about something that happens on The Voice, and be like, ‘Alright, we’re not gonna get divorced over this.’”

The next season of The Voice premieres September 19 on NBC at 8 p.m. ET.

Carlos Santana, wife Cindy featured on new song supporting women’s reproductive rights

September 16, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Guitar legend Carlos Santana and his wife, drummer Cindy Blackman Santana, have lent their talents to a new song called “It’s My Body” by the duo 2TSpark!

The song, which was written as a rallying cry for women’s reproductive rights, will be released as a digital single on Saturday, September 17. You can check out a companion video now on 2TSpark!’s official YouTube channel. The tune was co-written and sung by the duo of singer/songwriter/musicians Tracy Blackman and Tina “Bean” Blaine.

“We all hope that this video and song will help raise awareness around the globe and raise funds for organizations that are dedicated to supporting women’s rights and their reproductive freedom,” says Tracy. “After Bean and I recorded the song … my sister Cindy heard it and said she’d put down drum parts. Then my brother-in-law Carlos heard the song. He loved it, couldn’t stop playing it. Then he said he wanted to play on it, and the project took off from there.”

Adds Bean, “We wrote ‘It’s My Body’ during a marimba jam in response to the Texas abortion ban that passed in September 2021. When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, we felt an urgency to share this message.”

Proceeds from the track will be donated to several organizations that support reproductive rights, including Planned Parenthood and National Organization of Women.

The video features a montage of photos and footage from pro-choice protests through the years, as well as images of women of various ages and ethnicities.
