Five Finger Death Punch has dropped a new song called “Times Like These,” a track off the band’s upcoming album, AfterLife.
The track presents a softer side of FFDP’s usual aggressive sound as frontman Ivan Moody confesses, “Times like these/I wanna fade away.”
You can listen to “Times Like These” now via digital outlets.
“Times Like These” is the fourth AfterLife cut to be released, following “IOU,” “Welcome to the Circus” and the title track.
AfterLive will arrive in full on August 19. That same day, Five Finger Death Punch will kick off a U.S. tour; Megadeth, The Hu and Fire from the Gods will also be on the bill.

“Graveyard Love” is available now via digital outlets. It’s also accompanied by an eight-minute short film, streaming now on YouTube, that reflects the history of Puerto Rico as a territory of the United States.
In a statement about the song, vocalist Cedric Bixler-Zavala says, “They will seek your ruin, and burn your lands, because if they can’t have you, no one can.”

Bridgerton is diving deep into the past with author Julia Quinn and Shonda Rhimes joining forces for a prequel novel.
The new book will be released alongside an eight-episode season of the popular Netflix series and will be all about Queen Charlotte and “how the young Queen’s marriage to King George sparked both a great love story and a societal shift, creating the world of the Ton inherited by the characters in Bridgerton,” according to The Hollywood Reporter. It will also tell the stories of young Violet Bridgerton and Lady Danbury.
India Amarteifio has been tapped to star as a young Charlotte, while Golda Rosheuvel, will reprise her role as the present-day Queen. Adjoa Andoh will return as Lady Agatha Danbury and Ruth Gemmell as Lady Violet Bridgerton.
In a statement about the project, Rhimes said, “Queen Charlotte has been such a moving character to write and now having the opportunity to work with Julia to adapt this story into a book is such an exciting opportunity. I can’t wait for fans of this universe to read the story of a character that has resonated so deeply with our audience.”
Ed Sheeran just can’t stop collaborating with other artists. This year alone, he’s put out singles featuring Taylor Swift, Lil Baby and J Balvin, and he also teamed with Camila Cabello for her hit “Bam Bam.” Now, he’s jumped on a single and video by Nigerian superstar Burna Boy.
The romantic track, titled “For My Hand,” appears on Burna Boy’s new album, Love, Damini — the artist’s birth name is Damini Ogulu. In the video, Ed and Burna Boy sing in an elevator, both solo and together.
But the elevator is magic, because at one point, it opens to reveal Ed standing on a slab of rock in the middle of an ocean, and on the ledge of a tall building, while Burna Boy is seen standing on a platform in the middle of the clouds. And when they’re not in the elevator, an attractive couple is dancing inside.
This is actually the second time Ed’s been on a track with Burna Boy: In 2019, they were both featured on the song “Own It,” by Ed’s good friend, British rapper/singer Stormzy.
Fivio Foreign is going worldwide for his new single, “Paris to Tokyo,” and after teaming up with Key Glock, Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown and Polo G, among others, the New York City rapper has joined forces with The Kid Laroi.
“Paris to Tokyo” dropped at the stroke of midnight on Friday, exactly three months after the release of his highly anticipated debut album, B.I.B.L.E., and a week after the two performed at the Wireless Festival in London.
Fivio hasn’t announced the release date for the album’s deluxe edition, or whether it will include “Paris to Tokyo.”
Ciara is ready to make the world “Jump” with her brand-new single.
At midnight Friday, the singer released her new track “Jump” featuring Coast Contra, which she’s been teasing all week.

“Jump” is the first release under Ciara’s label Beauty Marks Entertainment in partnership with Uptown Records and Republic Records. It’s also the first single from her forthcoming eighth studio album and follows 2019’s Beauty Marks, which featured the hit “Level Up.”
What brings a country star to a Balenciaga fashion show in Paris, France? Well, if you’re Keith Urban, it probably has something to do with Nicole Kidman.
In between stops on his The Speed of Now World Tour, Keith showed up to support his A-Lister wife, and she posted a backstage snap of the two of them together. Nicole was there to walk the runway, and Keith’s always happy to play arm candy to his superstar wife: Vogue even posted a steamy video clip of the two sharing a kiss outside the event.
That’s a common occurrence for Keith and Nicole, who frequently show up to support each other. Nicole can often be found in the crowd of Keith’s shows and awards shows, and he returns the favor whenever his wife has a big event planned.
While they’re one of country’s most beloved cross-industry couples, Keith and Nicole aren’t the only superstars who come from different corners of the business. Carrie Underwood’s husband, Mike Fisher, comes from the sports world, for example: He’s a former NHL pro who played for the Nashville Predators.
While Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani are both musicians, they come from different worlds — so much so that when they first met on the set of The Voice, Gwen didn’t even know who Blake was. Meanwhile, Brad Paisley is married to actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley.
Cross-industry couples aren’t just a contemporary phenomenon: Dwight Yoakam briefly dated actor Sharon Stone in the ‘90s, and who could forget Kenny Chesney’s whirlwind 2005 marriage to Renée Zellweger?
Some country stars are both musicians and actors: For example, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill have not only toured together, but they also co-starred in the wildly popular Yellowstone prequel, 1883.
Journey‘s first new studio album in 11 years, Freedom, was released today.
The 15-track collection, which was recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic, is the first Journey album to feature drummer Narada Michael Walden, who also co-produced Freedom with guitarist Neal Schon and keyboardist Jonathan Cain.
Freedom also marks the return of bassist Randy Jackson, who previously played with Journey from 1985 to 1987. Walden and Jackson joined the band after longtime Journey drummer Steve Smith and bassist Ross Valory were fired in 2020.
“There’s a different strut to this record altogether,” Schon tells ABC Audio. “[M]any people probably can imagine that…replacing a whole rhythm section is gonna change the overall rhythm, feel in the band. And personally, I love it…I think it’s got a new vibe, and even some of the ballads are…coming from a different place than what we’ve done before.”
Freedom includes songs that sound like they could have come from various eras in Journey’s history, and features a mix of power ballads, hard-rocking tunes, sensitive love songs and even a funk-influenced track.
“I just think the album is very musical,” Neal maintains. “I feel like, for me, it goes back to maybe the Infinity era, when I first started writing with Steve Perry, to what we are now…and what we’re becoming.”
Schon says an important factor in the album’s sound was that, while most of the band contributed their parts remotely, he and Walden worked together laying down guitar and drums tracks live in the studio.
“I personally like [cutting] drums and guitar live…even if there’s no other instruments,” Neal says, “because it breathes new life. You know, there’s a lot of life to the music then.”
Here’s Freedom‘s full track list:
“Together We Run”
“Don’t Give Up on Us”
“Still Believe in Love”
“You Got the Best of Me”
“Live to Love Again”
“The Way We Used to Be”
“Come Away with Me”
“After Glow”
“Let It Rain”
“Holdin On”
“All Day and All Night”
“Don’t Go”
“United We Stand”
“Life Rolls On”
“Beautiful as You Are”
