Gorillaz has shared a new song called “The Manifesto,” a track off the Damon Albarn-led cartoon band’s upcoming album, The Mountain.
“The Manifesto” features Argentine rapper Trueno, as well as a posthumous appearance by late D-12 rapper Proof.
“As space dust we are here forever and that’s a mighty long time,” says virtual member Russel Hobbs. “This is a musical meditation infused with light. A journey of the soul, with beats.”
The Mountain, the follow-up to 2023’s Cracker Island, is due out March 20. It also includes the previously released single “The Happy Dictator,” which features Sparks.

Amid an album rollout that has seen Cardi B discuss the dark times in her marriage, her estranged husband, Offset, is reflecting on his faults. During an appearance on the Baby, This is Keke Palmerpodcast, he revealed he “made a lot of mistakes” during their relationship.
“I was definitely not perfect,” he said. “I made a lot of mistakes. I did a lot of wrong, and it’s always on the front screen, so it was hard to move on from it.”
In hindsight, he said, he “should have respected her way more.”
“I made bad decisions as a man, stepping out, and I gotta take that on the chin,” Offset shared. “I was being selfish, and I can say that as a man. I wish there wasn’t so much interest in our stuff going on. I’ve done got out of pocket a couple of times because it feels like you’re getting bullied.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Offset shut down speculation that Saweetie cheated on Quavo with him, saying, “No, it was rumored, man.”
He added he believes his breakup with Quavo was due to “something deeper.” “I think people were trying to tear down my situation and their situation,” he guessed. “We’re men, we don’t play those games.”
Offset then shared that things between them will never be the same because Takeoff was “the glue to everything.”
“In a group you got egos. We grown men. We got millions of dollars and egos. But homie would humble that at all times. … He just kept us as one,” Offset explained, adding he will always identify with Migos despite its split.
“I’m still Migos at the end of the day. When I go back to my neighborhood, it’s a crew of us, and we Migos,” Offset said. “So it don’t never go away from me.”

Shaboozey and pizza got a history.
Domino’s is debuting a new brand refresh complete with bolder colors, modern design and an updated sound, thanks to the musical talents of the “Bar Song (Tipsy)” singer, whom the pizza chain enlisted to record a catchy new jingle.
“Pizza is that one food that brings everyone together — different people and generations and cultures — and no one does it better than Domino’s,” Shaboozey said in a press release. “It was a fun challenge to be the voice for the most craveable food.”
The Michigan-based company revealed its modernized marketing on Wednesday, including a new tagline: “You can’t say ‘Domino’s’ without saying ‘mmm.'”
The company said in a press release that its first refresh in 13 years “took inspiration from its past and present” to “better reach current and future pizza lovers.”
Domino’s worked with Shaboozey to launch its new audio and visual representation of the updated tagline with the new “Dommmino‘s” jingle.
The new look is set to roll out in the U.S. and international markets over the coming months on TV, digital advertising, the Domino’s website, ordering app, boxes, print materials, in-store graphics and team member gear.

(NOTE LANGUAGE) Yungblud has responded to criticisms of his performance on the MTV Video Music Awards in tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne.
The topic came up during Yungblud’s guest appearance on the Trying Not to Die podcast, which is co-hosted by Ozzy’s son, Jack Osbourne.
“You’ll never see someone that’s bigger or more emotionally evolved than you talk s*** on you,” Yungblud says. “You ain’t ever gonna see f****** [Metallica frontman] James Hetfield slag off a young rock star, because he’s James f****** Hetfield. … They don’t need to insert themselves into a conversation, because they’re emotionally evolved and they know what it takes to get somewhere.”
While neither Yungblud nor Jack mention any critics by name, The Darkness guitarist Dan Hawkins made headlines when he called the VMA performance, which also featured Aerosmith‘s Steven Tyler and Joe Perry and Extreme‘s Nuno Bettencourt, “Cynical, nauseating and more importantly; s***.”
“All I was trying to do was my best for your old man, because he gave me such a gift,” Yungblud tells Jack. “When people try and intellectualize a sense of spirit and six musicians on a stage going, ‘I f****** love you, man,’ it’s just bitter and jealous.”
Jack also refutes the idea of Yungblud “inserting himself” into Ozzy’s narrative, sharing that he’s long been a friend of the Osbourne family.
“They are doing the things that they say we are doing,” Yungblud says of the critics. “They’re trying to insert themselves into a conversation to obtain some kind of relevancy, on the back of us honoring one of the greatest rock stars that ever lived. And then they talk about authenticity and stuff like that. And it’s like, I just loved your dad.”

Bruce Springsteen has pushed back the release date for his upcoming box set, Nebraska ’82: Expanded Edition, dedicated to his 1982 solo album.
Originally scheduled for Oct. 17, Springsteen revealed on Instagram that the set will now come out one week later, on Oct. 24, “due to delays in production.”
Nebraska ‘82: Expanded Edition will feature previously unreleased material, including the long-rumored “Electric Nebraska.” There are also solo outtakes, including additional songs from Springsteen’s original Nebraska home recordings that didn’t make the album, as well as recordings from a 1982 solo studio session.
The set also features a 2025 remaster of the album and a present-day recording of Springsteen performing Nebraska in its entirety at New Jersey’s Count Basie Theatre, with the performance also included on Blu-ray.
Nebraska ‘82: Expanded Edition will be released in four-LP plus Blu-ray and four-CD plus Blu-ray configurations. It is available for preorder now.
The new release date means the set will come out on the same day as the movie Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, which focuses on the making of Nebraska. It stars Jeremy Allen White as Springsteen and Jeremy Strong as his manager, Jon Landau.

Dolly Parton‘s sister sought to reassure fans on Tuesday after asking them to pray for the living legend earlier in the day.
Late Tuesday, Freida Partontook to Facebook to clarify that Parton was simply “a little under the weather” and not seriously ill, as some on social media had speculated.
“I want to clear something up. I didn’t mean to scare anyone or make it sound so serious when asking for prayers for Dolly,” Freida wrote in her post. “She’s been a little under the weather, and I simply asked for prayers because I believe so strongly in the power of prayer.”
She added, “It was nothing more than a little sister asking for prayers for her big sister.”
Freida finished by thanking fans for supporting Dolly, writing, “Your love truly makes a difference.”
The new comments came hours after Freida wrotein a Facebook post that she had been “up all night praying” for Dolly.
Dolly has not publicly disclosed the nature of her health issues. A source close to Dolly told ABC News she is doing well and continuing to work.
Freida’s Facebook post comes a little more than a week after Dolly announced on social media that she was postponing her upcoming Las Vegas residency due to health concerns.
Talking Heads released their fourth studio album, Remain in Light, which wound up being their final album with producer Brian Eno.
The record, which blended African funk with electronics, peaked at #19 on the Billboard 200 chart, their highest charting album at the time.
Remain in Light contained the future Talking Heads classic “Once in a Lifetime.” Although the song didn’t initially land on the Billboard Hot 100, a live version from the soundtrack to their iconic 1984 concert movie, Stop Making Sense, proved to be more popular, and landed on the Hot 100.

KPop Demon Hunters girl group HUNTR/X doesn’t exist except in animated form, but the women whose voices brought their hit songs to life appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday night.
The trio — EJAE, Rei Ami and Audrey Nuna — appeared for a few seconds on Saturday Night Live Oct. 4, but on The Tonight Show, they hit the couch for a chat with Jimmy and then gave their first full performance of their #1 hit “Golden” live on TV for the first time.
The trio said being on SNL was “insane,” with Rei noting, “The 10-year-old in me just came to life being on set … it kinda reminded us of being in theater camp.”
After sharing stories about how their newfound fame has led to crazy experiences — like seeing a 5-year-old singing “Golden” at H Mart and an elderly man performing the song on a traditional instrument outside a Korean subway station — Audrey said, “This movie has affected us all so much on an emotional level.”
She added that she “bawled her eyes out” at the premiere because of the Korean representation in the film.
EJAE shared that she got the idea for “Golden” in her car on the way to the dentist. And later, in the studio recording it, she claims she saw a ghost. She added that there’s a myth in the Korean music industry that “if you see a ghost while recording a song, it’s a hit.”
Fallon wrapped things up by presenting the trio with a Platinum plaque for the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack, commemorating that it’s been RIAA-certified for sales of a million copies.
