November 21, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Eric Clapton has released a new animated video for “Higher Power,” written by Jerry Williams, one of the bonus tracks that appear on the just-released deluxe reissue of his 1989 album, Journeyman.

The reissue, out now digitally and on CD and LP, features a remastered version of the original album, along with four new bonus tracks, three of which are from the original Journeyman recording sessions and have never been released before.

“Journeyman … [i]t’s what I want to be known as; I like to think I’m a craftsman,” Clapton says of the album. “I think I’m always working on mastering my craft.”

Released on Nov. 6, 1989, Journeyman was Clapton’s 11th studio album and featured guest appearances by such artists as George Harrison, Phil Collins, Chaka Khan, Daryl Hall and Robert Cray.

The album hit #1 on the Billboard Rock Albums chart and peaked at #16 on the Billboard 200. It featured singles like “Pretending” and “Bad Love,” which both hit #1 on the rock charts. “Bad Love” earned Clapton a Grammy for best male rock vocal performance.

Hilary Duff announces long-awaited new album, ‘luck … or something’

November 21, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Hilary Duff‘s standard reply when she’s asked about how she managed to emerge from child stardom relatively unscathed has become the title of her first new album in more than 10 years.

Luck … or something will be out Feb. 20 and is now available for preorder. “I am often asked how I still have my head on straight after growing up in this industry. The album title is my way of answering that question,” Hilary says in a statement.

“It’s luck, but there’s also a lot of weight in the ‘…or something.’ Many of the things I’ve been through along the way are held there, and I feel like ultimately that’s what’s shaped me.” The album includes her new single, “Mature.”

She writes on Instagram, “So much love, late night anxiety and a little chaos went into making this album – hoping you see yourself in here the way I have. I love you and excited is the largest understatement.”

As previously announced, Hilary will launch her Small Rooms, Big Nerves tour in London in January, marking her first headlining concerts in over a decade. She’ll also perform in Toronto, New York and Los Angeles.

The Revolution’s Lisa Coleman on how her brother inspired Prince’s ‘Around the World in a Day’

November 21, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Prince and the Revolution’s seventh studio album, Around the World in a Day, has just been reissued to celebrate its 40th anniversary.

The album has been remastered and remixed in Dolby Atmos for the first time, which means fans can enjoy hits like “Raspberry Beret” and “Pop Life” in upgraded audio.

The album foound Prince and the band experimenting with sounds that were vastly different from his previous record, the multi-Platinum smash Purple Rain. According to Revolution keyboardist Lisa Coleman, that was partly thanks to her brother, David Coleman.

“My brother was really an Arabic music fan, and he wrote this song called ‘Around the World in a Day.’ And Prince heard it and he freaked out, said, ‘Can your brother come out here right now?'” she told ABC Audio. “And we recorded the song. And all those finger symbols that you hear, that’s my brother David’s fault.”

Released April 22, 1985, Around the World in a Day went on to become Prince and the Revolution’s second #1 album. “Raspberry Beret” peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and “Pop Life” landed at #7.

The new Around the World in a Day deluxe edition is a two-CD or three-LP set that includes a whole host of bonus material, including a nearly 22-minute 12-inch version of the track “America” and two versions of the song “4 the Tears In Your Eyes.”

The reissue is also out now on streaming services and is available on CD, vinyl, limited-edition blue marble vinyl and picture disc, the latter available only on Prince’s website. A limited-edition 7-inch box set featuring the album’s four singles is also being released exclusively for Record Store Day Black Friday on Nov. 28.

‘Are you Justin Bieber?’ Singer helps man whose car broke down on side of the road

November 21, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Justin Bieber isn’t just a global pop star — he’s also a guardian angel. At least, he was to a man whose car broke down on the side of the road.

In a now-viral TikTok video, user @Bukumusic writes in the in-video text, “When your car breaks down and you’ve been trying so hard in life, it’s just tough.”

“You move to the big city, tryin’ to make it like everybody else,” the man says, complaining about “rich white girls driving by in their Lamborghinis.” Then he looks off camera and says, “I could be trippin’ but I think Justin Bieber just stopped to help me. Are you Justin Bieber?”

“Yeah, what’s up bro? Justin,” we hear the singer say off camera. The man starts grinning. “I love you, bro! Can I hug you?” “I love you, too, yes, sir,” Justin says as he steps into the frame and the guy pulls him in for a hug. The man apologizes for recording, noting that he was already doing so when Justin showed up.

“What happened?” Justin asks. “Do you really wanna know?” the man replies. “Yes, bro,” insists Justin. “OK, so, my life is f*****,” the man says with a laugh. “Tell me, bro,” Justin replies, as the man says he’s going to stop recording.

When the video resumes, the man says, “Justin Bieber gives me the best prayer I’ve probably ever had.” The in-video caption reads, “Thanks for the prayer and good energy, JB.”

“God literally sent you Justin Bieber,” one fan commented. “Is Justin Bieber your fairy godmother?” wrote another. Another person wrote, “Justin bieber rolls up & you just start trauma dumping. i would do this too lmao.”

Partying with Post Malone inspired Randy Houser’s ‘Back in the Bottle’

November 21, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Even though he ended up writing it by himself, Randy Houser had some high-caliber help creating his new song.

“When I had the idea for ‘Back in the Bottle,’ not to name drop, but I was hanging out with Post Malone, and we went to the studio,” Randy explains. “Didn’t even leave to get started ‘til probably midnight. We did two nights like that, and we were having a great time, writing and drinking.”

“So that gave me the idea,” he continues. “‘If I could put last night back in the bottle, I’d pull last night back down and drink it again.’ And we’ve all had those nights. How many times have we hair-of-the-dogged it? Sometimes you just gotta keep rocking and keep having fun.”

“Back in the Bottle” begins a new musical chapter for the “We Went” hitmaker, with a steady stream of new music coming in 2026.

His most recent release was February’s deluxe version of his Note to Self album.
