Kip Moore‘s got “Fire on Wheels” with his new single. 

The singer is crossing the country with the fiery, rock-leaning melody and lyrics to match. He name-checks “Detroit diesel,” the “Windy City pretty” women in Chicago, Midwest fields and venturing up to California, all with some “fire on wheels” along the way. 

“‘Cause everybody knows when the sun goes down/There’s some bad mamajamas gonna lay it down on your town/With some rock ‘n’ roll and country western/The boys buy the drinks/When the girls get to dancin’ to the band/To the band,” he sings in the riotous lyrics, co-written with Jaren Johnston of The Cadillac Three

“Thank you guys for giving us the freedom to never chase a sound/trend and let us create whatever the spirit moves us towards,” Kip said to his loyal fanbase on Instagram

Fans will get to hear “Fire” live when Kip embarks on the Fire on Wheels Tour with 21 dates across the U.S. and Canada, beginning September 8 in Salt Lake City and concluding November 12 in Cleveland, Ohio. Tickets go on sale July 1 at 10 a.m. local time.

New Music Friday: Charlie Puth & Jungkook, Dove Cameron, Avril Lavigne & more

Today’s NMF includes a long-awaited collaboration, some follow-ups to breakout hits, an unexpected cover and more.

After months of teases, Charlie Puth has finally dropped his joint single and video with BTS‘ Jungkook, “Left and Right.” The two first worked together at an awards show in 2018.

Dove Cameron has followed up her breakout hit “Boyfriend” with a new track, “Breakfast,” in which she sings menacingly, “I eat boys like you for breakfast.” Dove wrote the song because she was tired of the “pervasive and constricting male-dominated energy all around me making me feel like I was somehow set up to lose a game I didn’t even want to play.”

Avril Lavigne has teamed up with Spotify’s Singles series to release a cover of Adele’s #1 hit “Hello.” According to NME.com, Avril says she’s been “dying to do a cover” of the song. She also released an acoustic version of her own song “Love Sux.”

Leah Kate, who’s breaking out with the song “10 Things I Hate About You,” has dropped a new track, “Twinkle Twinkle Little B***h,” in which she rails against a “narcissist,” singing, “You broke my heart in two/hate your guts you make me sick.”

“Cool Kids” band Echosmith is back with a new song, “Hang Around,” which lead singer Sydney Sierota says is about “how when a love feels so right, there’s no way we could’ve planned it ourselves. So all you want to do is be around it.”

Hayley Kiyoko has released “Deep in the Woods,” a new track from her upcoming album, Panorama. She says the song “captures the feeling of instant connection, as if you’ve known someone forever even though you’ve only just met.”

New York Yankees offering Jerry Garcia Bobblehead giveaway on what would’ve been Garcia’s 80th birthday

If you’re a Grateful Dead fan who also happens to like the New York Yankees, here’s some cool news for you: The first 1,000 fans who purchase a special-event ticket to the Yankees’ August 1 home game will receive a collectible Jerry Garcia Bobblehead doll.

The promotion takes place on what would’ve been the late Garcia’s 80th birthday. The doll depicts Garcia with gray hair and a gray beard holding a guitar and wearing a Yankees home jersey, complete with pinstripes, the team’s interlocking NY logo on the front and the number 80 on the back.

Tickets to the game, which will feature the Yankees facing off against the Seattle Mariners, are available now at MLB.com. A portion of every ticket sold will be donated to The Grateful Dead’s Rex Foundation charity, which supports people involved with creative endeavors in the arts, sciences and education.

Fans can pick up their doll at Yankee Stadium by heading to the Bobblehead redemption table located on the Field Level next to Gate 2 up to one hour after the game’s first pitch is scheduled to be thrown.

It’s worth noting that a number of Grateful Dead fans have taken exception to the Yankees-themed Garcia Bobblehead, with some pointing out in the comments of a post on Jerry’s Facebook page that, as a native of the Bay Area, the legendary musician was a big San Francisco Giants fan.

Garcia died August 9, 1995, at the age of 53.

Stephen Stills has joined the growing ranks of famous rock artists who have sold the rights to their musical recordings for a big payday.

Stills’ recorded music assets have been acquired by longtime Eagles manager Irving Azoff‘s Iconic Artists Group company, whose roster also includes David Crosby, Linda Ronstadt and The Beach Boys.

The 77-year-old singer, songwriter and guitarist’s recorded assets include his solo work as well as music he created as a member of Buffalo Springfield, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Manassas, The Stills-Young Band and other projects. Stills has been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice — with Buffalo Springfield and CSN.

The agreement also includes an interest in Stephen’s band trademarks and the use of his name and likeness.

In the wake of the acquisition, plans are in the works to release an archival live solo album that Stills recorded in 1971 in Berkeley, California, in support of his second solo album, Stephen Stills 2, and an expanded, 50th anniversary reissue of Manassas’ 1972 self-titled debut album.

“Music is one of the greatest driving forces in my life, a means to communicate a universal language, and it’s comforting to know my life’s work is in the very best hands with Irving and the Iconic team,” Stills says in a statement. “With the unreleased recordings I’m uncovering from my vault, and the 50th anniversary of Manassas, it couldn’t have been a more opportune time.”

Adds Azoff, “I have had the pleasure of knowing Stephen for more than 50 years and he is certainly one of rock’s most enduring American treasures. I’m pleased that we will be working together to preserve, expand, and share his musical legacy for his next generation of fans.”

Meghan Trainor‘s out with “Bad for Me,” the first single and video from her upcoming album, Takin’ It Back.

The track, featuring Teddy Swims, is “a true story for me,” says Meghan in a statement. “It’s about how I stood up for myself and took a step back from a relationship that was hurting me more than anything. It’s hard to do, but I needed to in order to feel better.”

Based on the lyrics — “I know we’re blood/but this love is bad for me” — it appears the relationship wasn’t romantic but with someone in her family. Meghan didn’t give any further details.

Meghan’s also released the track list for Takin’ It Back. In addition to the previously reported collaboration with singer Natti Natasha and Cuban music legend Arturo Sandoval, it also features a track called “Sensitive” with Pentatonix‘s Scott Hoying.

Takin’ It Back is out October 21. In a statement, Meghan says, “I tried to do the doo-wop feel I had at the beginning of my career, but the 2022 version of it. This is from the new Meghan who is a wife and mom with a baby. This is from me right now. I decided to give the people what they want, but with my spices added to it.”

Here’s the track list for Takin’ It Back:

“Sensitive” ft. Scott Hoying

Noah Weiland

Noah Weiland is following in his father’s footsteps with the release of his debut solo EP.

The 21-year-old son of late Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland has dropped Last Kiss Before Detox, a three-song collection available now via digital outlets.

Noah had previously been in the band Suspect208, which also included London Hudson and Tye Trujillo, the children of Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash and Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo, respectively. In an Instagram post, Noah calls Last Kiss Before Detox his “first OFFICIAL project technically.”

“An EP I put my whole heart into,” Noah writes. “From pain, addiction, the love of my life, heartbreak, being homeless, betrayed by people who I once cared about and my entire life.”

“This is just the beginning I am so excited,” he adds. “I consider this also a dedication to the woman I love most. The way I express my feelings best through ART. Wish my pops was here to hear this but now it’s my turn to takeover.”

In addition to fronting STP, Scott Weiland also had a solo career. His last record was 2015’s Blaster, which was recorded with his solo band, The Wildabouts. It was released just nine months before Scott died later that year at age 48.
