Oh my, good lord: Shaboozey reveals concept behind his next album

October 15, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Shaboozey‘s next album doesn’t sound like it will have anything to do with getting “Tipsy.”

Speaking to Billboard, ‘Boozey says his next album — the follow-up to 2024’s Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going — is “ready to go,” but he keeps on “changing the songs and the sequences and the track order and all that stuff.” Plus, he says, he keeps “making new songs.”

But when it does come out, the singer says, get ready for some serious listening.

“[It’s about] feminism, I’ll say that,” he tells Billboard. “Femininity is probably the best word I can use. There’s a story there. It’s a concept album, but y’all are the first to know that, to be honest.”

“It’s a Western concept album about femininity — I shouldn’t have told you that!” he adds.

Shaboozey will attend the United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, on Sunday. He’ll be there because he helped come up with the tortoiseshell design that will grace two of the Visa Cash App Racing Bulls’ Formula 1 cars that are competing in the race.

October 15, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Def Leppard has had a lot of highlights over the course of their career, but for frontman Joe Elliott one stands out above the rest.

In a video post on Instagram, Elliott reflects on some of his most memorable moments with the band, including concerts in 1993 and 2023 in their hometown of Sheffield, England.

But Elliott says the overall best moment for him was the band’s 2019 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction, noting, “Only because even to this day I’m still shocked that we’re actually in it.”

“I’d been talking to Jon Bon Jovi, I said, ‘Ah, I don’t care if we’re in there.’ He goes, ‘Nah, dude, you’re gonna love it, you’re gonna love it,’ and he was absolutely right,” he says. Elliott notes that having Sir Brian May from Queen induct them was “pretty special.”

Elliott called the induction a “brilliant night,” adding that it was particularly great that they got to perform with Mott the Hoople’s Ian Hunter, with The Bangles’ Susanna Hoffs, The Zombies’ Colin Blunstone, and Rod Argent and E Street Band guitarist Stevie Van Zandt on backing vocals for the all-star finale of “All The Young Dudes.”

Elliott, a well-known Mott the Hoople fan, says getting to play with Hunter “really did bring it full circle. It was pretty cool.”

Finally Over It is set to release Nov. 14, completing the third and final installation of her Over It series.

Summer’s announcement continues the teases that have been part of her rollout for the forthcoming album.

She previously shared a commercial via The Shade Room announcing a hotline for fans to call if they’re finally over waiting for its release.

Summer also posted a jail skit in which she claimed she’s been “working like a slave” over the last few months and therefore needs fans to purchase Finally Over It.

Finally Over It follows Summer’s sophomore album, Still Over It, released in 2021. The first of the series was her 2019 debut album, Over It.

She gave you her heart: Poppy releases cover of Wham!’s ‘Last Christmas’

October 15, 2025 by WDNY Radio

If you think being a metal fan will save you from Whamageddon, think again.

Poppy has released a cover of the possibly inescapable Wham! holiday classic, “Last Christmas.” The recording was produced by former Bring Me the Horizon keyboardist Jordan Fish and is part of the Spotify Singles Holiday series.

“Christmas came early,” Fish says.

The cover is out now exclusively on Spotify as part of the platform’s Spotify Singles Holiday series.

The aforementioned Whamageddon refers to the viral game in which participants try to avoid hearing “Last Christmas” during the holiday season through Dec. 24. Though technically Whamageddon doesn’t start until Dec. 1, so you can feel free to listen to Poppy’s rendition to your heart’s content until then and still not fail the game.

Covering “Last Christmas” caps an eventful year for Poppy, which has also included touring in support of her latest album, 2024’s Negative Spaces, and collaborating with Evanescence‘s Amy Lee and Spiritbox‘s Courtney LaPlante on the single “End of You.”

Lauryn Hill, Beyoncé and Justin Timberlake pay homage to D’Angelo

October 15, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Lauryn Hill regrets not spending more time with D’Angelo, she reveals in a tribute to the late singer.

Following his death due to pancreatic cancer Tuesday morning, Hill, who collaborated with D’Angelo on her song “Nothing Even Matters,” shared some words about his craft, and the impact he had on people and the R&B genre.

“I regret not having more time with you. Your undeniable beauty and talent were not of this world, and a presence not of this world needs protection in a world that covets light and the anointing of God,” Hill wrote on X. “You sir, moved us, stirred us, inspired and even intimidated others to action with your genius.”

She then thanked him for “being a beacon of light to a generation and beyond who had no remembrance of the legacy that preceded us” and for “charting the course and for making space during a time when no similar space really existed.”

“You imaged a unity of strength and sensitivity in Black manhood to a generation that only saw itself as having to be one or the other. It is my earnest prayer that you are in peace,” she wrote.

Beyoncé also paid tribute to D’Angelo on her website, writing, “We thank you for your beautiful music, your voice, your proficiency on the piano, your artistry. You were the pioneer of neo-soul and that changed and transformed rhythm & blues forever. We will never forget you.”

In a lengthy post on his Instagram Story, Justin Timberlake shared how D’Angelo changed him with albums Brown Sugar and the “absolutely transcendent” Voodoo, and recalled meeting him backstage at one of his tour stops for the Voodoo album.

“You took R&B and put it in all capitals. Meshed it with something else and changed the landscape. Made it something more,” he wrote. “Your contribution will always be remembered.”
