Coldplay has released a cover of the Kid Cudi song “Day ‘n’ Nite.”
Chris Martin and company recorded their spin on the tune for the Spotify Singles series.
“I loved when it came out, and I still love love love it,” Martin says of “Day ‘n’ Nite,” which was Cudi’s debut single.
“This is the first time I think that we’ve really taken proper time to record a cover, because in my head I could hear a version of it quite different from the original, that hopefully just reinforces what a brilliant song it is,” the “Fix You” singer continues. “One way or another I hope that anyone listening will just think, ‘Wow, Kid Cudi is amazing.'”
Coldplay’s Spotify Singles release also includes an acoustic version of the band’s song “Let Somebody Go” alongside Selena Gomez. The original track appears on Coldplay’s new album Music of the Spheres, and also features vocals from Gomez.
Foo Fighters are headed back to Austin City Limits.
The long-running PBS music performance series has booked Dave Grohl and company for a taping to air during its upcoming 48th season. The show will take place on April 27.
The Foos previously rocked the ACL stage twice before. Highlights from those shows were compiled into an hour-long ACL special, which premiered in 2021.
“I’m sure I can speak for every musician when I say that being asked to come play Austin City Limits is practically like getting a medal,” Grohl said at the time. “As a musician it’s something to aspire to and if you actually achieve that then you wear it like a badge.”
Other artists set to tape episodes for ACL‘s next season include Arlo Parks, Japanese Breakfast and Cimafunk.
In addition to their trip to ACL, Foo Fighters will be headed to the silver screen with their movie Studio 666, which premieres in theaters this Friday, February 25.
Olivia Rodrigo is about to head out on her first headline tour to support her record-breaking debut album, SOUR, but she’s already started work on its follow up.
Speaking to Billboard, Olivia reveals, “I have a title for my next album and a few songs. It’s really exciting to think about the next world that’s coming up for me. I just love writing songs. I’m trying not to put too much pressure on myself. [I want to] just sort of explore and have fun right now.”
Once again, Olivia’s working with Dan Nigro, with whom she co-wrote most of SOUR. Olivia notes, “The craziness of SOUR being out in the world was something that really only Dan and I could relate to, and I think that has brought us closer together. I trust him so much and really enjoy the music we’ve been making.”
As for pressure to follow up such a successful album, Olivia — whom Billboard has named its Woman of the Year — says, “It’s definitely a different experience writing a second album after having a debut that was so well received. I still write so much of my music in my bedroom though, and I don’t think that experience will ever change.
Olivia also shares what she feels was her most “pinch me” moment: going to the White House to meet President Biden and help promote the COVID-19 vaccine.
She says, “The whole time I was in the White House having this incredible experience, I was just thinking about how I got to do it because I wrote a bunch of songs in my bedroom!”
Florida Georgia Line may be taking a break as a duo while Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley pursue solo endeavors, but their Nashville honky tonk is still going strong.
And should you find yourself bellying up to the bar at FGL House, you might want to make it a point to order Sandi’s Queso. You see, the recipe that combines “queso blanco, New Mexico green chiles, and ancho peppers,” served alongside yellow corn tortillas, comes from Sandi Spika Borchetta herself.
Ms. Spika first came to fame in the ’90s as Reba McEntire‘s stylist, known for crafting some of the country icon’s biggest hairdos and most famous looks, including Reba’s notorious figure-baring CMA Awards red dress. Now that she’s Mrs. Scott Borchetta, Sandi helps lead the creative vision at Big Machine, the label her husband founded.
By all accounts, Sandi’s Queso is pretty tasty, too.
Fans lucky enough to get up-close-and-personal with Keith Urban and Dolly Parton often attest that both smell positively otherworldly.
While the Aussie heartthrob has politely declined to share his aromatic secrets, we know considerably more about the origins of Dolly’s “smell-good,” as they say in the South — especially these days.
Fans have long speculated that the superstar from East Tennessee wears a combination of the luxury fragrance brand Tova Beverly Hills, mixed with a discontinued scent by Mary Kay — one she was rumored to have bought copious amounts of, upon its demise.
These days, it’s much more likely Dolly’s sporting her own Scent from Above, which combines fruits and florals with notes of fir and musk.
You can order Scent from Above online, or find it in some Walmart stores, where it’ll run you about 40 dollars for a couple ounces. Alternately, you can check out the theme song Dolly wrote for her fragrance, for free.
Members of the rock community have been sharing their tributes to Mark Lanegan following the news Tuesday that the Screaming Trees frontman and Queens of the Stone Age collaborator had passed away at age 57.
The Screaming Trees Facebook shared a post mourning Lanegan as “our true brother.”
“We all truly loved him,” the post reads. “As we say goodbye to Mark, a member of our family, remember he still lives with us all in his music.”
The Afghan Whigs frontman Greg Dulli, who frequently worked with Lanegan and released an album with him as The Gutter Twins, simply posted a photo of the two of them together.
Here are some of the other reactions:
Iggy Pop: “Mark Lanegan, RIP, deepest respect for you. Your fan, Iggy Pop.”
Lamb of God‘s Mark Morton: “I am so profoundly grateful to have had the chance to make music & become friends with Mark Lanegan. Few artists ever achieve the level of honesty & authenticity that he did. He was absolutely brilliant. Godspeed my friend.”
Ex-New Order and Joy Division bassist Peter Hook: “Mark Lanegan was a lovely man. He led a wild life that some of us could only dream of. He leaves us with fantastic words and music! Thank god that through all of that he will live forever. RIP Mark. Sleep well. Love Hooky.”
Garbage: “Terribly saddened to hear the news of the passing of Mark Lanegan. A very gifted artist blessed with honey dipped tones, gone far too soon.”
Shinedown‘s Brent Smith: “My heart truly aches today, as we have lost an incredible artist…An undeniable pioneer in the late 1980s and early 1990s grunge era, and beyond. A poet, singer, songwriter, author, and creative genius, with a voice like no other. Bless you Sir, and thank you.”
Interested in imitating the swagger of Brett Young? It may be easier than you think.
The West Coast native calls his signature style Caliville, a mix of his West Coast roots and his life in Nashville today. It’s also the name of clothing line at Kohl’s, which you can find both online and in stores.
The latest collection features about twenty items, mainly t-shirts, hoodies, and jogging pants, often with music or ocean-themed embellishments. They won’t break the bank, either: Suggested retail ranges from 25 to 60 dollars — and much less when they’re on sale.

GAYLE‘s become a global star thanks to her song “abcdefu,” but there’s a lot more to her than just that one song, and fans will get a chance to hear that on her debut EP, which Rolling Stone reports is coming out next month.
It’s called A Study of the Human Experience Volume One, and according to Rolling Stone, it drops March 18. GAYLE says the songs on it are about how life is “f***ing weird, and life is so hard, but it’s so lovely at the same time.”
“And that’s really confusing. Especially when you’re growing up,” she tells Rolling Stone.
The EP includes her recent single “Ur Just Horny,” as well as “Sleeping with My Friends” and “Luv Starved,” all of which are about a friendship that turned intimate.
“I thought I was the one at fault,” she tells Rolling Stone. “But then I realized, ‘No. They were trying to get into my pants the whole entire time: That was their goal. They never cared in the first place. Maybe I’m not completely the problem.’”
As for where she is as an artist now that she’s had some success, GAYLE notes, “I’m not necessarily set on ‘This is who I am.’ I’ve gotten really comfortable with who I am as a person and what I want. But I know I’m going to change. I know that the things I want are going to change. And that’s O.K.”
Elton John‘s private jet was forced to make an emergency landing Tuesday after experiencing technical failure at 10,000 feet, according to various reports.
The U.K. tabloid The Sun reported that Elton was flying from England to New York for a concert when the plane on which he was traveling suffered a hydraulic failure about an hour after takeoff.
The pilot made the decision to return to the U.K.’s Farnborough Airport and declare an emergency landing, it was reported.
Witnesses tell The Sun that the pilot made two unsuccessful attempts to land in winds that reportedly gusted to 80 mph before successfully touching down on the third try.
The legendary rocker, 74, was said to be shaken by the ordeal, but he boarded another flight to New York just hours later to make his gig at Madison Square Garden
Elton made it to New York City safely and confirmed that the show would go on as scheduled, tweeting, “Hello New York! See you @TheGarden tonight.” He also has a second concert scheduled at Madison Square Garden tonight.
ABC has not been able to reach Elton’s reps for comment.
