Bryan Adams has released a new video for the track “Will We Ever Be Friends Again” from his just-released new album, Roll With the Punches.
According to a post on Instagram, the clip was filmed in Iceland and stars Icelandic model Inga Eiriksdottir. Adams shared a video of an outtake with Inga playing the accordion.
Roll With the Punches is Adams’ 16th studio album and his first album since 2022’s So Happy It Hurts. He’s set to celebrate the release with a series of intimate club shows in England, kicking off Saturday in Leeds and wrapping Sept. 3 in Kingston.
He’ll also launch a North American tour on Sept. 11 in Kamloops, British Columbia. U.S. dates, featuring Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo as special guests, begin Oct. 25 in Uncasville, Connecticut, and run through Nov. 26 in Minneapolis.
There’s long been talk about “Bro Country” in Music City, and now HARDY and ERNEST are weighing in.
“There’s a whole new crew in Nashville that’s bringing a whole new different sound and this song is simply an observation of that,” HARDY says of the new track he co-wrote with ERNEST.
“HARDY is such a clever writer—one of the best to ever do it,” ERNEST says. “It’s been fun growing with him since our days of writing with Florida Georgia Line and many others. I am very thankful for them, the summers we all had together and the opportunities that got us here.”
“I think this is a cool song that shows the ever-changing nature of music,” he adds, “and I’m glad I got to sing on it with HARDY.”
Known for frequently taking writers out on the road with them back in the day, FGL recorded songs like “Dig Your Roots” by ERNEST and “Simple” by HARDY.
“Bro Country” is the latest preview of HARDY’s COUNTRY! COUNTRY! album, which drops Sept. 26. Just two days before, he closes his JIM BOB World Tour with his first headlining show at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.

T-Pain and GloRilla were presented with special honors at the 2025 R&B/Hip-Hop Awards, presented by the performing rights organization BMI Thursday in LA.
T-Pain received the BMI President’s Award in recognition of his career and his global impact: He’s sold over 50 million singles and has scored a string of #1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. Over the years, he’s won 28 BMI Awards. He follows past President’s Award winners Taylor Swift, Pink, Benny Blanco and more.
Accepting the award, T-Pain noted, “Enjoy these moments but don’t let these define you. Make sure you find your own happiness; make sure you find what you have already inside you.” He added, “Every journey has a beginning, a middle and an end. … Don’t let anybody dictate your time and how fast you get to the finish line. Let yourself be your own time measurement.”
He also thanked his team, his mom and everyone “who’s had to deal with my s*** for the last 20 years.”
GloRilla received the BMI Impact Award for being a “transformative force in hip-hop.” Accepting the honor, she said, “Keep y’all’s foot on the gas. Don’t let nobody tell y’all what y’all can’t do. Because it’s a lot of people that tell me what I can’t do and” — she then stopped talking and struck a pose on the stage while the audience cheered.
Glo was also named BMI’s R&B/Hip-Hop songwriter of the year, thanks to her hits “TGIF,” “Wanna Be” and “Yeah Glo!” Kendrick Lamar‘s “Not Like Us” was named song of the year.

System of a Down‘s Serj Tankian has shared a cover of the song “A Seed,” originally by DJ and producer deadmau5.
The track will appear on Tankian’s upcoming compilation album, Covers, Collaborations & Collages.
“‘A Seed’ begins with a haunting piano intro that opens itself to a polyrhythmic trip; a carousel that has no beginning or end,” Tankian says. “The lyrics are derived from Cool Gardens – my first book of poetry.”
Covers, Collaborations & Collages consists of just that, with “collages” referring to previously unreleased archival recordings. It’s due out Oct. 24, and Tankian will be putting out a new song from the collection each week.
Meanwhile, Tankian is currently playing a run of North American stadium shows with System of a Down, which resumes Sunday at Chicago’s Soldier Field.

The Clearing is Wolf Alice’s fourth studio album. It includes the single “Bloom Baby Bloom.”
Wolf Alice will launch a U.S. tour Sept. 10 in Atlanta.
‘CBS Mornings’ co-host Gayle King spoke with Sabrina Carpenter about her new album ‘Man’s Best Friend’ (CBS News)
Sabrina Carpenter‘s album cover for Man’s Best Friend has raised quite a bit of controversy — but according to Sabrina, people just don’t get it.
Speaking to Gayle King on CBS Mornings Friday, Sabrina said she was “shocked” by the reaction, noting that everyone in her circle, including her parents, thought the photo was “perfect” for what the album represents. However, she agrees the message of the image is “up to interpretation.”
For her part, she explains, “My interpretation is being in on the control. Being in on your lack of control and when you want to be in control. Like, I think as a young woman, you’re just as aware of when you’re in control as when you’re not. And I think some of those are choices.”
“For me, this whole album was about the humanity of allowing yourself to make those mistakes, knowing when you’re putting yourself in a situation that will probably end up poorly. But it’s gonna teach you something.”
King also asked Sabrina about how her romantic partners feel about being the subjects of her songs — and specifically, if Sabrina felt bad about the fact that her fans subjected her ex-boyfriend Barry Keoghan to online abuse after they split up.
While acknowledging that that happened, Sabrina tells King, “I feel pretty transparent going into any of my relationships, that I write songs. And, and I think they’re just as down for it … most of the time they’ve been pretty flattered when they get a song written about them, good or bad. I think they’re just excited to get a shout-out.”
Sabrina also tells King that she’s “so happy” for her friend Taylor Swift following her engagement. As for her guest appearance on Taylor’s upcoming album, Sabrina says, “I’m just so thrilled and honored.”

A new documentary about Paul McCartney’s post-Beatles years has been acquired by Amazon MGM Studios.
Directed by Academy Award winner Morgan Neville, Man on the Run will premiere at the Telluride Film Festival, which runs from Friday to Monday. It will eventually be released in select theaters.
It will then be released on Prime Video on Feb. 25, 2026.
Man on the Run gives fans a look at McCartney’s life following the breakup of The Beatles, including the formation of his band Wings. According to the description, it “chronicles the arc of McCartney’s solo career as he faces down a myriad of challenges while creating new music to define a new decade.”
The acquisition of the film is part of a larger partnership between McCartney, Universal Music and Amazon. Over the next year it will include the release of exclusive music and merch drops from Amazon Music.
McCartney is also releasing a new book about his post-Beatles career. Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run will be released Nov. 4.
An “award-winning superstar group from the label’s roster” will close out Big Machine 20, according to a news release from the company.
Riley Green, Sheryl Crow, Carly Pearce and Brett Young are already on board for the free Friday concert that starts at 7 p.m. CT on Nashville’s Lower Broadway.
The Band Perry, RaeLynn, Danielle Peck, Danielle Bradbery and Jack Ingram will also play the show that celebrates two decades of Big Machine, as well as Aaron Lewis, Preston Cooper and The Jack Wharff Band.
It seems Rascal Flatts is a likely contender as the mystery act, having been on the label since 2010, though Lady A and Midland are Big Machine artists, as well.
Big Machine 20 kicks off the Borchetta Bourbon Music City Grand Prix Friday in Nashville.
