U2’s just-released single, “Street of Dreams,” soundtracks a new short film of the same name featuring soccer star David Beckham.
The film was released by Bank of America in conjunction with the World Cup. According to a press release, it “tells the story of a young girl whose life has been upended through homelessness but refuses to give up on her dream of playing soccer.”
It’s described as an “uplifting story about resilience, hope and the transformative power of sport.”
The film centers around a young girl named Calle, played by Nevaeh Derricks, with Beckham appearing as the “personification of her inner voice.” According to the press release, he represents “a powerful symbol of belief and opportunity, standing with her and showing up when it matters.”
“We’re honoured that ‘Street of Dreams’ could play a small part in telling a much bigger story,” U2 said in a statement.
The film showcases Bank of America’s “Soccer With Us” platform, which supports young people aged 6-18 by combining sport with life skills.
A 30-second TV commercial version of the film will be part of World Cup coverage on Monday.
“Street of Dreams” is the first single off U2’s yet-to-be announced studio album. The album will be the band’s first since 2017’s Songs of Experience.
Former Slipknot drummer Jay Weinberg has released a new solo song called “Drown Fountain.”
The track features the band Softcult and also marks Weinberg’s official vocal debut.
“‘Drown Fountain’ is this weird song I started writing back in 2013 that I’d keep revisiting over the years, but I could never figure out how to get it across the finish line,” Weinberg says in a statement. “It took my introduction to Softcult’s music and reaching out to see if they’d be interested in collaborating for the song to finally become what it was meant to be. It’s an honor to work with them on this song, especially in that it feels more vulnerable than anything I’ve created in the past.”
“Drown Fountain” marks Weinberg’s third solo single, following “Sandstone” featuring Deafheaven’s George Clarke and “Drone Operator” featuring NOWHERE2RUN.
You can also hear Weinberg play drums on the upcoming album from death metal band Fuming Mouth, The Ringing Bell, due out July 17.

Rihanna appeared in a new Hollywood Unlocked YouTube segment with Jason Lee called Grocery Shopping With Rihanna!, where she encountered a fan who has cancer.
While standing in the checkout line at Bristol Farms in Southern California, the fan, who later revealed her name is Robyn, asked Rihanna for a photo while admitting she felt self-conscious.
“I look terrible. I live with cancer. Can I take a picture with you?” Robyn said, to which Rihanna replied, “You don’t look terrible.”
“I do. … Everyone knows me. I don’t have my wig on,” she continued. “And your name’s Robyn like mine.”
Robyn told Rihanna she’s a “big fan” and showed her a photo of herself wearing a wig.
“You know what I live for? A good hairline, honey. This is what I like to see,” she said of Robyn’s natural look. “Anytime you meet anybody, don’t do that s***. You’re fire just like that.”
When Robyn asked if she could quote her on that, Rihanna responded, “Hell yeah … verbatim,” before reiterating, “Don’t ever do that again.”
“Thank you,” Robyn said. “You make me feel good.”
Throughout the episode, Rih poses for pictures with fans and speaks to Yung Miami about how well “Spend Dat” is connecting with fans this summer.
“not Rihanna and Jason Lee called me mid-melt while my wig was off singing ‘Spend Dat.’ B****!!!!!!!!!” Miami wrote on Instagram alongside several crying-laughing emojis.
“Spend Dat” is now in the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100 and is #7 on Urban radio. The track has also been deemed one of the songs of the summer.

The Cranberries have announced a new live album called Live at The London Astoria II, 1994.
The set, due out Sept. 4, was recorded in between the release of the band’s 1993 debut album, Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We?, and their 1994 sophomore effort, No Need to Argue. It includes performances of songs such as “Linger” and “Dreams,” as well as “Zombie” before it was officially released.
“This was our first concert back in London after achieving such success in America,” says drummer Fergal Lawler in a statement. “We were delighted to see a few of our hardcore fans at the front of the stage, I think we felt proud that all our hard work had finally come to fruition.”
The Cranberries released their final studio album, In the End, in 2019. It includes the final vocal recordings from frontwoman Dolores O’Riordan, who died in 2018.

Ringo Starr got quite a gift for his 86th birthday Tuesday. The rocker just received an honorary doctorate from the University of Liverpool.
Wendy Beetlestone, University of Liverpool chancellor and United States district judge, presented Ringo with his honor at his annual Peace & Love celebration in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
“It is a great privilege to recognise Ringo, whose influential musical work, particularly in The Beatles, has helped shape the identity and global reputation of Liverpool,” Beetlestone said in a statement. “His contribution has played a key role in making the city a place that inspires people to visit and to study.”
“I want to thank the University of Liverpool for this Honorary Degree and for coming all the way to LA to bestow it,” Ringo, who was born and raised in Liverpool, said. “I’m really honoured.”
“I’ve been thinking back on my life a lot lately – and when I chose to become a drummer full time – my family discouraged me. And they could have been right! But they weren’t – it all worked out,” he continued. “So to all the graduates back in Liverpool – I send Peace & Love and want to say don’t be afraid to follow your dreams – or take that right turn and see where it goes …. it could lead to an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Liverpool.”
Starr’s annual Peace & Love celebration included performances from artists like Molly Tuttle, Sarah Jarosz, Daniel Tashian and Ketch Secor. There were also appearances by Ringo’s All-Starr Band members Gregg Bissonette and Steve Lukather, former Guns N’ Roses drummer Matt Sorum and children from his nonprofit Adopt The Arts. The event ended with the band and crowd singing “Happy Birthday” to Ringo.

Travis Kelce is looking back on his proposal to Taylor Swift in his first podcast episode released since the couple’s wedding last week.
In an episode of New Heights released Wednesday morning — the show’s season 4 finale featuring NFL star Tom Brady — Travis reflected on asking Taylor to be his wife last August after she appeared on the show.
“Ending this season with Tom Brady. Pretty epic. Starting it with Taylor. Pretty epic,” he said.
“During that recording, the entire time I’m planning, like I’m gonna ask this woman to marry me after this,” he said.
“Obviously, the beginning of it, with Taylor, is one I’ll remember forever,” he added.
New Heights co-host Jason Kelce, Travis’ brother, chimed in, “It’s by far our most viewed episode of all time.”
Taylor appeared on the podcast last August and touched on her relationship with Travis, including meeting him for the first time.
The Kansas City Chiefs star tried to give the singer a friendship bracelet with his number on it before they eventually met, but the plan fell through.
“It was such a wild romantic gesture,” she said about Travis’ attempt to give the Grammy winner his bracelet.
Taylor said the attempt “felt more like I was in an ’80s John Hughes movie and he was like standing outside of my window with a boombox, just being like, ‘I wanna date you!'”
Taylor and Travis wed last Friday in a high-profile Madison Square Garden event that saw a flurry of high-profile celebrities converge in the iconic New York City venue to celebrate the music icon and NFL star.

The second single from Jason Aldean’s 13th album has just become his 27th #1 on Billboard‘s Country Airplay ranking.
Diving deeper into the numbers, “Don’t Tell on Me” is his 50th career entry on the chart and his 42nd top-10 song.
“We just released this album and [we’re] really excited,” he says of Songs About Us. “I feel like everybody always says, ‘Oh, this is like the best album I’ve ever done.’ I kinda feel that way, but I feel as we have gotten older, the songs have kinda gotten better, and we’ve gotten more dialed in as a band and as a singer.”
“And I love it,” he continues. “I love going in the studio, working on these things and creating new music and working on things that we think are really cool. And [the] first single went #1 for us, ‘How Far Does A Goodbye Go?’ You know, it’s a big deal for us.”
Jason’s work on the road continues with stops in Youngstown and Fort Loramie, Ohio, on Friday and Saturday.
