Watch Morgan Wallen heal as he walks away from the wreckage in ‘I Got Better’ video

October 1, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Morgan Wallen crawls from the wreckage, bloody and bruised, after flipping his truck in the dramatic new video for “I Got Better.”

As the truck burns and it begins to rain, the superstar walks down a country road, occasionally catching a glimpse of the woman he sings about in his top-five single.

Having previously called “I Got Better” his “most personal” track on his fourth studio album, the clip serves as a poignant illustration of the song’s message, as you see Morgan’s wounds heal the farther he walks away from the accident.

In the end, he returns to his truck — which is also mysteriously restored to pristine condition — and lights a cigarette. You can check out the “I Got Better” video on YouTube.

I’m the Problem has already spent 12 nonconsecutive weeks atop the all-genre Billboard 200 album chart and launched four #1 country singles.

Michael McDonald, Jimmy Buffet appear on new Christmas album from Jake Shimabukuro

October 1, 2025 by WDNY Radio

The Doobie Brothers’ Michael McDonald and the late Jimmy Buffett are set to appear on the upcoming Christmas album from ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro.

The album, Tis the Season, drops Oct. 17. Buffet’s voice appears on Jake’s version of the classic Hawaiian Christmas song “Mele Kalikimaka.”

“I wouldn’t be where I am today if it weren’t for him,” Jake says of Buffett, who passed away in 2023. “He and (songwriter) Mac McAnally were like my big brothers. They took me under their wings and did so much for me.”

McDonald joins Jake on a cover of the holiday classic “Winter Wonderland,” with both McDonald and Jake playing ukulele on the tune.

“Everyone should know what a great ukulele player Michael is,” Jake says. “His chord knowledge and tone is incredible! And, what’s even more unbelievable is, his ukulele playing sounds like Michael McDonald! So epic!!”

The album also features a cover of John Lennon’s “Happy Xmas (War Is Over)” featuring cellist Yo-Yo Ma, as well as takes on holiday classics like Mariah Carey‘s “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” “This Christmas,” “Jingle Bells,” “O’ Holy Night” and “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.”

Tis the Season is available for preorder now.

Watch Sabrina Carpenter dance her way through a musical number — about conditioner

October 1, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Sabrina Carpenter is a brand ambassador for Redken, and in a new commercial for the beauty brand, she gets to live out her Broadway dreams by dancing her way through a musical number about hair care products.

The clip shows Sabrina in her hotel room trying to reach a tube of her Redken A.B.C. Leave-In Treatment for Hair Repair on top of a mountain of luggage. As she attempts to retrieve it, the luggage falls over and buries her. She’s rescued by a team of singing, dancing bellhops who repeatedly shout, “Leave it in!”

As the bellhops sing that the product will give you “heat protection for the win,” Sabrina quips, “I do love protection!” Cut to Sabina in a feather-trimmed white gown, dancing onstage with the bellhops, who are now wearing top hats and tails. She sits in a chair and holds up a bottle of the conditioner when, out of nowhere, a piece of luggage hits her in the head.

We then see Sabrina lying on the floor of her hotel room. It was all a hallucination caused by the luggage falling on her — or was it? There’s a guy dressed like a giant bottle of the conditioner playing a sax.

Sabrina thinks for a minute and then says, “The longer you leave it in, the better it feels.” And cut.

Maybe Taylor Swift saw the ad before she asked Sabrina to sing with her on the title track of her new album, The Life of a Showgirl?

Sabrina became a brand ambassador for Redken in December 2024.

New BBC documentary will explore David Bowie’s Berlin years

October 1, 2025 by WDNY Radio

The 50th anniversary of David Bowie’s arrival in Berlin will be celebrated with a new documentary on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer.

Tentatively titled Bowie in Berlin, the film will be directed by Francis Whately, who previously directed three other BBC Two Bowie docs: David Bowie: Finding Fame, David Bowie: The Last Five Years and David Bowie: Five Years.

According to the description, the film will delve into “one of the most important periods” of Bowie’s life, “when he turned his back on fame and success and disappeared from sight into the streets of Cold War Berlin, from 1976-1978.”

The story will be told through Bowie’s own words, along with contributions from Clare Shenstone, Romy Haag, Sarah-Rena Hine and Sydne Rome, the four women who spent time with the rocker during his Berlin years.

“Each of these extraordinary women have their own unique insight into the singer’s life, art and character, providing a secret history of Bowie’s time in the city,” the description reads.

Bowie in Berlin is expected to debut in fall 2026.

Bowie’s Berlin years resulted in three albums — Low, Heroes and Lodger — that he dubbed his Berlin trilogy. Although not well received upon first release, critical and public opinion of the records changed over the years, and they are now considered some of the most innovative and influential works of Bowie’s career.
