September 30, 2021 by WDNY Radio

As Cardi B livesthe glamorous life in France for Fashion Week, she admits her body is reacting in unusual ways after giving birth 26 days ago.

“Can’t wait till these weird postpartum hormones completely leave my body,” the “Rumors” rapper tweeted Wednesday, “I be crying for no reason.”

The baby boy, whose name has not been publicly revealed, is Cardi’s second child, following daughter Kulture, who is three years old.

Cardi also experienced what she called “annoying“ postpartum reactions after Kulture’s birth in 2018. “Let me tell you something. No matter how many books you read or advice I get, ya’ll never be ready for mommy mode,” she then commented in an Instagram Story.

The Grammy winner made her first public appearance this week in Paris after welcoming her second child, and dazzled the crowds. She stunned in a crimson sequined and ruby-encrusted gown with plunging neckline, accentuated by a long train and a halo of red feathers. She accessorized the look by wearing long matching sequined gloves, a ruby choker adorned with large red, pink and orange gemstones, and red rhinestone eyebrows.

Later in the evening, she slipped into a sheer black dress with a tight corset, sleeves and small black feathers.

“Thank you @manfredthierrymugler for including me in such a historical night, the opening of your exhibit in Paris! Truly one of my favorite creative minds in the WORLD,” the 28-year-old wrote on Instagram. “I’m mind blown looking at your collections from over the years. A true Genius!”

Watch Billy Joel’s “Scenes from an Italian Restaurant” come to life in new animated video

September 30, 2021 by WDNY Radio

As promised, a newly created video for Billy Joel‘s beloved 1977 song from The Stranger, “Scenes from an Italian Restaurant,” has premiered on Billy’s YouTube channel.

The animated clip brings to life the two main characters of the song, Brenda and Eddie, who meet at an Italian restaurant after years apart to reminisce about their lives. The clip pretty much illustrates the lyrics exactly, as the former couple catch each other up on what they’re doing now, think about their days together as the king and queen of the prom, and recall their ill-fated marriage and subsequent divorce.

The fun part of the video, however, is spotting all the Billy Joel Easter eggs. For example, the story unfolds comic book-style via the pages of a menu on the table of the restaurant, which is called Cacciatore’s — the name of a character in another Stranger song, “Movin’ Out.” The menu’s cover is decorated with a mask and a pair of boxing gloves, both motifs of The Stranger‘s artwork, which recur throughout the video.

In another comic-strip panel, there are scenes of people outside a bar called “Zanzibar,” the name of a 1978 song by Billy. When we see Brenda and Eddie’s “apartment with deep-pile carpets,” the walls are decorated with framed covers of Billy’s 1970s-era albums.

Also sprinkled in are scenes of Billy and his band performing live in various eras, and one shot shows a wall of posters advertising a gig at the “Coliseum” — a reference to Billy’s hometown venue, the now-defunct Nassau Coliseum. As the song ends and the menu closes, it morphs into the cover of The Stranger.

The Stranger is included in the nine-LP box set Billy Joel — The Vinyl Collection, Vol. 1, due out on November 5.

We feel it and we hope everyone else does, too.”

School of Thought features the previously released songs “Kill Beautiful Things,” “A Mannequin Idol (Lullaby),” “Parasite” and “Eyes Sewn Shut.” Its track list also includes a cut titled “Love Song,” featuring In This Moment‘s Maria Brink.

The Jonas Brothers are on everyone’s minds in colorful “Who’s in Your Head” video

September 30, 2021 by WDNY Radio

The Jonas Brothers have released the quirky and colorful video for their new song, “Who’s in Your Head.“

In the clip, Joe, Nick and Kevin perform from various locations and jump in and out of the minds of different women. So first, we see them performing in an artist’s loft and when we go inside the mind of the artist, the JoBros are there too, performing in paint-covered clothes.

In another scene, as Joe sits at an outdoor cafe, we go inside the mind of the waitress, where we see Joe sitting in a giant cup of coffee — a literal cup of Joe, if you will.

The video ends with a joyful downtown L.A. street performance.

The Jonas Brothers are currently on their Remember This tour, stopping next in Boston on October 1.

September 30, 2021 by WDNY Radio

Rolling Stone magazine is going London calling, and Bastille is along for the ride.

Dan Smith and company are among the cover stars for the inaugural issue of Rolling Stone UK. In the accompanying cover story, Smith shares more details about the upcoming new Bastille album, which is largely about the idea of living your life in virtual reality.

“We’ve all had to face a lot of challenges [in recent years] be it, like, things happening to ourselves, our families, our minds, or whatever circumstance life throws at you,” Smith says. “But I think there are moments in all our lives where you want to maybe not be yourself or be a different version of yourself or be out of the circumstances that you’re in because you might be a bit trapped in them.”

Bastille has previewed the album this year with the singles “Distorted Light Beam,” “Give Me the Future” and “Thelma + Louise.”

Kelly Clarkson proves she’s an OG Ariana Grande fan: “Y’all I love this girl!”

September 30, 2021 by WDNY Radio

Kelly Clarkson works with Ariana Grande on The Voice, but that’s not the reason Ariana is one of the guests on Kelly’s upcoming Christmas album. It’s because they’ve had a mutual admiration society going for years — and Kelly’s got the receipts to prove it.

On Wednesday, Kelly posted a “How It Started/How It’s Going” tweet that included a screenshot of a Twitter exchange she had in 2013 with a then-19-year-old Ariana, next to a pic of them lovingly embracing on the set of The Voice.

In that 2013 tweet, Kelly linked to Ariana’s performance of her song “The Way” on The Ellen Degeneres Show and wrote, “Okay, who the heck is this girl & where did she come from?! Someone just sent me this & wow she is killer & only 19!” Ariana responded to her at the time, ” “omg that’s me hi kelly clarkson thank you ily.”

Kelly captioned the post, “How it Started vs. How it’s Going. Y’all, I love this girl! Did I mention she’s gonna be on my upcoming Christmas album!?”

Ariana responded, “queen !!!!!!! beyond honored to sing with you. i love this record and you.”

Kelly’s album, titled …When Christmas Comes Around, is out on October 15. Her song with Ariana is called “Santa, Can’t You Hear Me.”
