February 22, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Camila Cabello is getting ready to release her third studio album, Familia, and further hyped up her fan base by unveiling her new single “Bam Bam,” which features Ed Sheeran.

The single is set for a March 4 release, which is the day before Camila’s 25th birthday. Taking to Instagram, the Grammy nominee shared the single’s official artwork and wrote, “Bam Bam. March 4th with @teddysphotos, one of my favorite people and artists ever.”

In the teaser photo, Camila is sitting on a curb outside of what appears to be a liquor store. The “Havana” singer, whose face is streaked with running mascara, is dressed in a black letterman jacket, faded jeans and black Converse-like sneakers. Next to her are two bottles with the corks sticking up, as well as what appears to be a pint of ice cream.

The track marks the third time Camila has teamed with Ed. The two previously released the 2019 single “South of the Border” with Cardi B, which appeared on Ed’s No.6 Collaborations Project album. Camila also tapped the “Shivers” singer to help her on “The Boy,” a single Billboard reports was meant for her eponymous debut studio album, but that didn’t make the cut.

“Bam Bam” is due out next Friday, March 4. A release date for Familia is forthcoming.

Morgan Wallen sits at #1 with “Sand in My Boots,” his first since video surfaced of him using racial slur

February 22, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Morgan Wallen is back at #1.

The embattled country singer tops the country charts this week with his latest single, “Sand in My Boots.” This is his first single to top the charts since he was caught on video using the N-word in February 2021.

“You guys are the best,” Morgan said in a video thanking fans and country radio for the hit. “I’ve said it before, I’ve said it a lot actually, that y’all are the best fans in the world and I don’t just say that to say it. I really mean it.”

In the aftermath of the N-word video’s release, Morgan was temporarily dropped from country radio and disinvited from attending major awards shows, including the ACM and CMA Awards, despite nominations. He was also temporarily suspended from his record label, Big Loud Records, and removed from his former talent agency, WME.

Despite the furor, the East Tennessee native’s sophomore album, Dangerous: The Double Album, on which “Sand” is featured, remained at #1 for 10 weeks on the all-genre Billboard 200 and became one of the top-selling albums of 2021.

Gwen Stefani sweetly shouts out son Apollo ahead of his 8th birthday

February 22, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Gwen Stefani‘s youngest child is about to turn eight, and his mom made sure Apollo feels special ahead of his big day.

People obtained snaps of the singer’s Instagram stories from over the weekend that show Gwen showering her son, whom she shares with ex Gavin Rossdale, with love and affection. Apollo’s birthday is February 28.

One photo, which features a blue sticker that reads “Birthday Boy,’ shows Gwen grinning widely while looking up at Apollo. Another snap is of the blindfolded youngster trying to smash some candy out of his piñata, while others provide small vignettes of Apollo’s birthday party. The birthday boy invited over many friends and everyone feasted on a two-layer birthday cake that had Arizona Cardinals decorations. The cake featured a Cardinals jersey bearing the number 10, which belongs to DeAndre Hopkins, who is presumably Apollo’s favorite NFL player.

Gwen also shared multiple snaps that showed off how she celebrated youngest son’s big day — from wearing a shirt that had one of Apollo’s hand-drawn photo emblazoned on the front to wearing a gold bangle with his name etched on in white.

Aside from Apollo, Gwen shares two other sons with Rossdale: 15-year-old Kingston and 13-year-old Zuma. The “Hollaback Girl” singer has since remarried country singer Blake Shelton. Just last week, Gwen shared some never-before-seen footage of their wedding, which featured a proud Blake kissing Apollo on the cheek.

Mick Jagger posts pics of Jamaican vacation; hints things will “get busy” for The Rolling Stones soon

February 22, 2022 by WDNY Radio

The Rolling Stones haven’t announced any official plans for 2022, but in a new post on his social media pages, Mick Jagger hinted that the band might be getting back to work soon, we assume either touring or recording new music.

Jagger posted a series of photos of him vacationing in Jamaica, along with a note that reads, “A little downtime before things get busy!” The pics show Mick holding an acoustic guitar with the ocean behind him, looking at some fresh produce at an outdoor market, standing in front of a wall painting, and playfully knocking on the door of the Roof Night Club in Port Antonio, Jamaica.

The Rolling Stones wrapped up a U.S. leg of their No Filter Tour in November of last year, and the band is widely expected to continue touring this year at some point. The Stones also have been working on songs for a new studio album over the last couple of years, although no official release details for the project have been announced.

In other Stones news, guitarist Keith Richards has posted a video of him “unboxing” the upcoming deluxe 30th anniversary reissue of his 1992 sophomore solo album, Main Offender, on his social media pages.

The minute-long clip shows Richards flipping through the pages of the booklet included in the box set, which he calls “incredible.”

“What am I seeing? I’m seeing some of the greatest friends I’ve ever had, you know,” Keith comments as he checks out photos of his collaborators on the album. “Waddy Wachtel, Steve Jordan, Ivan Neville, Charley Drayton, Sarah Dash, Babi Floyd…Bobby Keys…It don’t get no better than that.”

He adds, “I love to work with these guys. Always have. It’s all love.”

The Main Offender reissue is due out March 18.
