With Jane’s Addiction over, Perry Farrell is going on to new musical ventures.

Farrell is featured on a new track from English techno DJ Carl Cox called “Joya,” out now.

“It means the world to me that we’re making people so happy with our music,” Farrell says.

“When the opportunity came to work with Perry, I jumped at it and sent him the idea for ‘Joya’!” Cox says. “It just came together so beautifully and I have been proud to play it as the closer for all of my sets in the last year. People respond to it with such joy, and that is what I was aiming for all along!”

Jane’s, of course, publicly combusted in 2024 when Farrell and guitarist Dave Navarro got involved in a physical altercation during a concert in Boston. The band ended soon thereafter, and Farrell and his now-former bandmates — Navarro, bassist Eric Avery and drummer Stephen Perkins — have filed legal action against each other.

I’ve grown so much, and I’ve learned so many different things.” 30. arrives on Oct. 24.

Kodak Black teams with Chance the Rapper for “Still Get Chanel.” The song finds Kodak telling a partner he’ll continue to spoil her with Chanel despite what he may going through. “It’s hard to keep up when I love in a cell/ But on Valentine’s, make sure that you still get Chanel,” he raps.

Khalid is out with his new album, after the sun goes down. “This is what freedom sounds like. It’s me completely vulnerable, honest, healing and unafraid. I’m proud of who I am, and the love I have to give, and I think there’s power in that,” he says in a press release. “My hope is that my music will help uplift others & be a soundtrack for their journeys.”

BIA‘s released her debut album, Bianca, featuring 16 songs, and appearances from artists including Ferg, Denzel Curry, Key Glock and Ty Dolla $ign, who just dropped his own song, “Show Me Love” with Tory Lanez. “This is me.

Zayn and BLACKPINK’s Jisoo unite on the track “Eyes Closed.” The duet is about two people agreeing to leave the past in the past as they embark on new love. “Say, oh, we should fall in love with our eyes closed/ Better if we keep it where we don’t know,” they sing.

Charlie Wilson‘s Sunday show at the FedExForum in Memphis has been pushed back a few months. The event, which is part of his R&B Cookout trek, has been rescheduled for April 12, 2026.

FedExForum announced the news Thursday evening, noting the decision was made by the tour’s organizers.

“We regret to inform you that this weekend’s Uncle Charlie’s Cookout shows including the concert at FedExForum on October 12, 2025 must be postponed,” read a post on FedExForum’s Instagram. “The new date at FedExForum is Sunday, April 12, 2026.

Charlie’s shows in Birmingham, Alabama, and Brandon, Mississippi, have also been postponed.

“All these years later, I’m still here because I never stopped loving R&B. I stayed true to the music, and the music stayed true to me.

A new exhibit at the Trap Music Museum in Atlanta pays homage to late rapper Rich Homie Quan. It’s one of the ways his father, Corey Lamar, hopes to keep his son’s legacy alive.

“I’m ecstatic — sad that it has to be this way — but grateful for him to be acknowledged,” he told WGXA.

Lamar also donated a scholarship in Quan’s honor to his alma mater and teamed with Quan’s former marketing manager for the rapper’s posthumous release, Legacy of Hits.

Quan was additionally honored with three formal proclamations in Atlanta, including Rich Homie Quan Day and Rich in Spirit Day.

Born Dequantes Devontay Lamar, Rich Homie Quan died Sept. 5, 2024, from an accidental drug overdose. Lamar acknowledges his son was “in a dark space” and hopes his story will encourage Black men to seek help when necessary.

“A lot of men carry a lot of things as Black men, and if you don’t get help — if you don’t raise your hand and acknowledge you have a problem — this can lead to death,” he said.

Lamar noted that Quan’s loss has left him with a feeling he doesn’t wish on any other parent.

“[Quan is] not only my son, but my best friend — not only my best friend, but my business partner. We had a great relationship, father and son,” he shared. “Quan didn’t make moves without me, and I didn’t make moves without him.”

The Rich Homie Quan exhibit at the Trap Music Museum is now open to the public.

Dasha‘s new EP is out Friday, along with a new single.

The eight-track EP is called Anna, which is a reference to her birth name, Anna Dasha Novotny. It’s described as a “deeply personal body of work.” Speaking on the Country Music Now podcast, Dasha explained that she went by “Anna” from kindergarten to sixth grade before switching to “Dasha” when she started her music career at age 13. She said the song “Oh, Anna” on the EP is about “losing yourself and finding yourself again.”

She sings, “I feel more like a scared little kid/ Than I ever did back then/ I need you to come back a little, come back a little/ Make me that girl again/ Oh, Anna.”

But Dasha’s new single, “Work on Me,” is a confident come-on. In the video we see her working in an all-female mechanic shop, and a guy pulls up, gives her the keys and tells her rudely, “Fix it.” She and her girls sabotage the car so when he drives away, it breaks down. In between, Dasha and her team do choreo while singing, “I’m a little broken, baby/ Could you work on me?”

Anna also includes Dasha’s hit “Not At This Party” and the previously released track “Train.”

The “Austin” singer is currently in London and will open for Kane Brown on Friday. Then she heads back to North America for a few more shows.
