“Last Night Lonely”: Jon Pardi’s new drinking tune has a romantic twist

February 17, 2022 by WDNY Radio

A front-and-center fiddle line and a swagger-heavy danceable beat dominates Jon Pardi’s new single, “Last Night Lonely,” but there’s more romance in the honky tonk tune than first meets the eye.

In the chorus, Jon sings, “It’s gonna be the last night coming in here, drinkin’ all by yourself/The last time givin’ your heart away to someone else/Yeah, we could be some history in the making, girl/tonight might be your last night lonely.”

Jon’s new single arrives ahead of his as-yet-unannounced next album, which will be the follow-up to 2019’s Heartache Medication.

In an interview with Apple Music, the singer — who married his longtime love Summer in late 2020 — says he’s aiming to include more love songs on the project, but he tends to gravitate to party tunes or hard-drinking, tear-in-your-beer ballads.

“I’m trying to knock out a love song,” Jon says. “We got a great one, but it’s funny — me and [my wife] Summer, we’ll be like, ‘Yeah, let’s get some ‘drinking’ and ‘she’s leaving’ and we’re moving on’ songs.”

“I try to get a love song, but we love all the themes and emotions of songs,” he adds. “So we definitely got a lot of drinking songs.”

Jon’s most recent solo single “Tequila Little Time” was a top-five hit.

KISS’ Paul Stanley sees Dave Grohl collaboration happening “at some point”: “I’m sure we’ll do something”

February 17, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Dave Grohl may need to clear his schedule for a collaboration with yet another rock legend.

KISS‘ Paul Stanley tells Consequence.net that he’d be interested in working with the Foo Fighters frontman.

“At some point, I’m sure we’ll do something,” Stanley says. “We’ll make some noise together. That’s what makes music so fun.”

The two did previously jam together at Grohl’s birthday party concert in 2015. Grohl, meanwhile, just released a cover of KISS’ “Rock and Roll All Nite” last year alongside producer Greg Kurstin for their Hanukkah Sessions series.

Previous Grohl collaborators include Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney, Motörhead‘s Lemmy and Led Zeppelin‘s John Paul Jones.

Currently, Grohl is preparing for the premiere of the new Foo Fighters movie Studio 666, which hits theaters February 25. He’s also been working on recording a metal album under the moniker Dream Widow, a fictional band from the film.

Hear “Love Is Everywhere,” from Men at Work frontman Colin Hay’s upcoming album

February 17, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Men at Work frontman Colin Hay, who’s also a member of Ringo Starr’s All Starr Band, has released a new track from his upcoming solo album Now and the Evermore.

The song “Love Is Everywhere,” and it comes with a trippy, partially animated video. Even if you don’t like the song, you’ll want to watch the video for the adorable footage of different animal species expressing love for one another. C’mon, who doesn’t want to see a puppy snuggle with a rooster, or a dog frolicking with a baby deer?

Speaking about the song, Hay says, “I think what this song is attempting to counter, by at least some measure, is the end result of the continued tragic global catastrophe of separation. The colossal calamity of believing yourself to be separate from everything and everybody else. Refusing to consider the possibility that we all are part of this planet’s structural fabric. Every day I feel love, and I’m happy that I do.”

Now and the Evermore, the title track of which features Ringo on drums, will be out March 18. Hay will launch a solo tour that same day that will keep him on the road through May 12. Starting June 2 in Boston, he’ll join Ringo for the All Starr Band’s summer tour.

Bring Me the Horizon & Ed Sheeran release studio version of “Bad Habits” collaboration

February 17, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Bring Me the Horizon and Ed Sheeran have premiered an official studio version of their joint rendition of “Bad Habits.”

The unlikely pairing first came together at the U.K.’s Brit Awards earlier this month, with BMTH putting a heavy spin on Sheeran’s single “Bad Habits.” The response was so strong that Sheeran and Horizon frontman Oli Sykes announced earlier this week that they’d be releasing a studio recording of the collaboration.

“From receiving the email asking whether we’d like to open the BRITS with Ed Sheeran to us chatting and bouncing ideas to rehearsing and then performing and now releasing, this has needless to say been pretty mental,” syskes says in a statement. “But we are all about pushing the boundaries of our own and other genres, so this felt like the perfect challenge.”

You can download the studio version of Bring Me the Sheerizon’s “Bad Habits” now via digital outlets.

“I just bided my time:” Steve Nicks claims she delayed breakup with Lindsey Buckingham to save Fleetwood Mac

February 17, 2022 by WDNY Radio

The breakup of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham fueled many of Fleetwood Mac‘s most famous songs. But Stevie now says that if they’d split when they really wanted to, Fleetwood Mac wouldn’t have been around for them to record those songs.

In a new interview in The New Yorker, Stevie explains, “I broke up with Lindsey in 1976. We’d only been in Fleetwood Mac for a year and a half, and we were breaking up when we joined Fleetwood Mac. So we just put our relationship kind of back together, because I was smart enough to know that, if we had broken up the second month of being in Fleetwood Mac, it would have blown the whole thing.”

“I just bided my time, and tried to make everything as easy as possible, tried to be as sweet and as nice to Lindsey as I could be,” Stevie continues. “He wasn’t happy, either. Then something happened that was, y’know, ‘We’re done’…it was time.”

“The band was solid, by that time, so I could walk away knowing that he was safe. And that the band was safe. And that we could work it out,” she concludes.

Speaking about two classic songs inspired by the breakup, Stevie says, “I always laugh because Lindsey’s ‘Go Your Own Way’ and my [song] ‘Dreams’ are, like, counter songs to each other. I’m, like, ‘When the rain washes you clean, you’ll know,’ and he’s, like, ‘Packing up, shacking up’s all you want to do.’”

She notes, “He’s looking at it from a very unpleasant, angry way, and I’m saying, in my more airy-fairy way, we’re gonna be all right. We’ll get through this.”

Stevie has several festival performances booked for this year, while Buckingham has a slew of tour dates lined up for the month of April.

Report: Kim Kardashian asks judge to grant divorce request without Kanye West’s approval

February 17, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Kim Kardashian has reportedly requested to be granted a divorce from Kanye West — without her estranged husband’s approval.

Radar Online reports that her lawyer, Laura Wasser, made the motion in court because Kim claims that Kanye has been served with the divorce papers and has not responded.

The motion reportedly reads: “[Kanye] and I both deserve the opportunity to build new lives. Therefore, I am asking that my request to bifurcate and terminate our marital status be granted. I have requested several times that [Kanye] agree to bifurcate and terminate our marital status. [He] has not responded to my request…I have been attempting to settle our dissolution with [Kanye] since I filed for divorce in February 2021.”

Kim added, “No counseling or reconciliation effort will be of any value at this time.”

In December, the star of Hulu’s The Kardashians reality show submitted a formal request to a judge asking to be declared legally single amid pending divorce. Since then, West has repeatedly asked Kim to come back to him, and recently attacked Kim’s current boyfriend, Pete Davidson, on social media. Over the weekend, in posts that have since been deleted, Kanye claimed on Instagram that Hulu is using Pete to keep Kim away from him. Then on Tuesday, Ye apologized.

“I’m working on my communication. I can benefit from a team of creative professionals, organizers, mobilizers and community leaders,” West wrote. “Thank everybody for supporting me. I know sharing screen shots was jarring and came off as harassing Kim. I take accountability. I’m still learning in real time. I don’t have all the answers.”

Rihanna shows off how she and A$AP Rocky celebrated Valentine’s Day like “nerdz”

February 17, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Rihanna waited a little while to show us how she and boyfriend A$AP Rocky celebrated Valentine’s Day like “nerdz.”

On Wednesday, the Grammy winner shared a carousel of photos showcasing the gifts she received, which starts off with a charming bouquet made completely out of LEGO. It appears A$AP Rocky also got his hands on some colorful LEGO-print wrapping paper, which he used to wrap several gifts, including a single pink rose.

Other gifts included a card embossed with lyrics from Method Man‘s “All I Need,” and a sunset dinner by the ocean. The snap also caught a look at a chunky ring on Rihanna’s pinkie finger, which spells out “Rih” in diamonds.

The two revealed last month that they are expecting their first child together, but have yet to reveal a due date or a name.

Michael Bublé admits he freaked out when Paul McCartney agreed to work with him

February 17, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Michael Bublé is gearing up for the release of his new album, Higher, which comes out this month. He also shared in a new interview what it was like recording his version of Paul McCartney‘s song “My Valentine,” with Paul himself in the studio.

Speaking with ET Canada, the crooner revealed that just about everyone in his inner circle was amazed he was able to “get” Sir Paul to help out on a song. “But I didn’t get him,” Michael insisted. “He called us!”

Michael explained that Paul’s manager told him, “We know you’re making a record and Paul thinks that you would do this song really great!” Michael said he jumped at the opportunity to put his spin on “My Valentine,” which Paul originally recorded for his 2012 album, Kisses on the Bottom.

The “I’ll Never Not Love You” singer also admitted to geeking out when he called Sir Paul to ask the legendary artist if he’d co-produce the track.

“I got the U.K. number and I said, ‘Hello,’ and this man said, ‘Oh, it’s Paul Macs,’ and I said, ‘Hey, it’s Mike Bubs,'” Bublé recalled. “When he said he would do [the song], I didn’t know what to do! So I just started to punch my fist in the air and I was quiet about it…and then he thought he lost me.”

Michael added of Sir Paul, “He was so sweet.”

Higher arrives March 25.
