September 30, 2021 by WDNY Radio

DED has announced a new album called School of Thought.

The sophomore effort from the “Anti-Everything” rockers will arrive on digital platforms October 15, followed by a physical release on November 19. It’s the follow-up to DED’s 2017 debut, Mis•an•thrope.

“We are elated to release our sophomore album School of Thought, as we really pushed ourselves outside of our comfort zone and that is where growth and great things can happen,” says frontman Joe Cotela.

“We cover themes of self-empowerment, mental health, darkness, anger, futility, false idols, and being the change you want to see amongst others — everything it is to be a human while navigating through this life,” he adds. “I think it includes a broader spectrum of our influences and where we can venture creativity and dynamically as well. 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.

DED is currently on tour with In This Moment and Black Veil Brides.

Olivia is teaming with Crunch Fitness to host a global group fitness event on October 20: An attempt to set the world record for the most people performing lying lateral leg raises simultaneously. Why that particular move? Because it’s featured in Olivia’s iconic “Physical” music 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.

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.”

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.”
