If you like the groove Miranda Lambert’s been throwing down lately, there’s more to come.
Though she hinted at it with “A Song to Sing,” her duet with Chris Stapleton from July 2025, Miranda came right out and said it in “Crisco,” which dropped in May: “Ain’t we mixin’ country and disco?”
She also spells it out in a new Instagram video, bellying up to the bar behind two bedazzled Crisco-esque cans: One says “country” and the other says “disco.”
“Yeah I gotta keep movin’, gotta keep groovin’/ ‘Cause that song that’s in my soul will carry me on down the road/ I gotta keep goin’ till the going’s gone/ Till it’s gone, gone, gone,” Miranda sings in the background.
The accompanying text confirms “Till the Going’s Gone” will drop on Friday, fueling fans’ hopes there’ll soon be a whole album to follow.
Miranda’s most recent project was 2024’s Postcards from Texas.

Alicia Keys is honoring Clive Davis, the man she says “changed my life forever.” After posting a photo of herself with Clive on her Instagram Story Monday, she shared a post on her feed, reflecting on the impact he had on her life.
“He believed in me from the very beginning, when I was just 18 years old, and very few saw what I was capable of!” Alicia wrote of Clive, who passed away at 94 years old. “He has stood beside me through every chapter that followed. Not just in that fake industry way but in a way that was full of love for how unlimited I could be! He called me a renaissance woman! It’s one of my favorite descriptions. It reminds me to be boundless.”
“If he didn’t see in me the glimmer of what was to become, you and I may have never known each other and be on this deep musical journey,” she wrote. “You will be missed beyond words but I am so grateful to have had you for as long as I did.”
Clive signed Alicia to Arista Records in the late ’90s, before leaving the label to launch J Records. There, he recruited Alicia, who released her Grammy-winning debut album, Songs in A Minor, under his tutelage. They later worked on four more albums together.
Jennifer Hudson, who signed to J Records shortly after her American Idol run and maintained a relationship with Clive, wrote on Instagram, “Yes, he was the legendary music mogul, but he was family to me.”
Dionne Warwick, whose career Clive helped revitalize, said, “I can think of no other record man that seemed to have that magical ability to know a hit when he heard a song.”

It will be a stripped-down presentation that will allow Andy to, as he puts it, “connect with so many of you in such a deeply beautiful, meaningful way.”
He writes on Instagram that the first Greater Than tour was “so raw, candid and special” that he’s excited about sharing “more of these moments with you all.”
He calls the show “an intimate set of songs, storytelling and poetry” that “kind of feels like we’re all in someone’s living room with each other, holding space for everyone in the room.” It will be an all-new show, but, he notes, “the sentiment remains the same.”
Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. local time at AndyGrammer.com.

Billy Joel and Aerosmith are among the latest artists sharing tributes to legendary music executive Clive Davis, who passed away Monday at the age of 94.
Joel shared a clip on Instagram from a 1974 interview where Davis talks about signing him.
“Clive Davis convinced me to sign with Columbia Records many years ago,” Joel wrote in the caption. “He recognized the talent of great musicians and understood the power of contemporary music,” noting, “I will always be grateful to Clive for his recognition of the critical importance of songwriting.”
Aerosmith shared a clip of the song “No Surprize,” about how they got their big break. In the track, they sing about Davis telling them he was going to make them a star.
“Our hearts are with the friends and family of Clive Davis, and all the artists and music lovers whose lives he changed with his vision, talent, and generosity,” they wrote. “He discovered Aerosmith, an unknown bar band, in 1972 and swiftly signed us to Columbia Records. He stood by us through our resurgence in the 1980s when our future wasn’t promised.”
They added, “He was a great man whose life’s work became the melody of modern culture and whose memory will always be a blessing.”
In addition, Steven Tyler, Joe Perry and Tom Hamilton each shared their own tributes to Davis, with Tyler calling him, “The man with golden ears and Infinite Wisdom.”
Others paying tribute to Davis include Barbra Streisand, Joni Mitchell, Kenny Loggins and Dionne Warwick, who released a statement in which she called Davis “one of a kind.”
“I can think of no other record man that seemed to have that magical ability to know a hit when he heard a song,” Warwick added.
My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James has announced a new solo album called WowedOut.
The record is due out Aug. 28. It marks James’ fourth solo effort and is the follow-up to 2018’s Uniform Distortion.
“There’ve been times in my life where I’ve felt lost or depressed, but music has always been the thing that pulls me back,” James says in a statement. “When I think about making this album, it almost feels like I was in some kind of dream and now I’m trying to remember what the dream was about. The whole thing brought me a lot of joy and comfort while I was making it, and I hope it brings everyone else a little joy and comfort too.”
The first single off Wowed Out is called “Come Again” and is out now.

Halestorm frontwoman Lzzy Hale sings on a new cover of the Soundgarden song “Loud Love.”
The recording is part of the King Ultramega project, spearheaded by Mark Menghi of the band Metal Allegiance in honor of the late Chris Cornell. It also includes Testament guitarist Alex Skolnick and original Pearl Jam drummer Dave Krusen.
“I feel like I’m always learning something from Chris,” Hale says in a statement. “Every few years I’ll discover something deeper in his lyrics, or higher in his range. But there is an authenticity that comes with Chris that can’t be taught or trained for. I believe every word he writes. I’m inspired by his control over his animalistic vocal range, and his poetry, but also how honestly he sings.”
You can watch the video for the “Loud Love” cover on YouTube.
Hale has previously covered Soundgarden’s “Fell on Black Days” with Halestorm, as well as Temple of the Dog’s “Hunger Strike,” in which she sings both Cornell and Eddie Vedder’s parts.

When Taylor Swift and her pals attended Game 4 of the NBA Finals on June 10, they made headlines not just because people were accusing Taylor of not being a “real” fan, but because of the custom shirts they were wearing.
The tees, worn by Taylor, Mariska Hargitay, and Este Haim and Alana Haim of the band HAIM, featured the names of famous people misspelled with a “Kn,” in honor of the New York Knicks, like “Stevie Knicks,” “Knickole Kidman” and the band “Knickelback.”
Now, Este tellsPeople, “Taylor is a genius. She was the one that came up with the idea, and Alana was the one that executed it.” Alana custom-made the shirts by hand and said Taylor came up with “Stevie Knicks” specifically.
As for Nicole Kidman, Este tells People, “I mean, it’s no secret that we love her, we’re huge fans of hers. And it kind of lent itself to the T-shirt. It was the first name that came to mind when we were all brainstorming what Knicks-themed names we would use.”
After seeing Este in the “Knickole Kidman” shirt, Nicole shared a photo of the trio at the game to her Instagram Stories and wrote, “Right there with you girls!”
The third member of HAIM, Danielle Haim, was also at the game that night — she wore a shirt that said “Knickolas Cage.” And later that same night, Taylor’s friend sombr was seen out at a club in a “Stevie Knicks” shirt.
In other Taylor news, on Monday she supported her fiancé Travis Kelce at his annual Tight End University training camp in Nashville by attending the opening night party.

Iron Maiden fans had to confront their “Fear of the Dark” when the power went out during the band’s show in Paris on Monday.
According to fan reports and a recap from the site SortiraParis.com, the Paris La Défense Arena went dark in the middle of a performance of the song “2 Minutes to Midnight.” The outage happened as France is dealing with an extreme heat wave.
Unfortunately, fans had to wait for much longer than two minutes for the show to resume. Maiden eventually retook the stage after about an hour, but due to the delay and the venue’s curfew, the set’s encore was cut from the show.
Ahead of the Paris show, Maiden announced that they were filming the concert to document their Run for Your Lives tour, and that all fans standing in the floor section would be required to lock their phones in Yondr pouches. We’ll see if the power outage impacts the planned film at all.
The Run for Your Lives tour, which celebrates Maiden’s 50th anniversary, will continue through Europe into mid-July before coming to North America in late August.
