Lola Young’s new album — with NSFW title — coming in September

June 18, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Lola Young teased an announcement on Tuesday with a video that looked like she was blowing up a balloon, but it turns out we had it wrong — it was actually a blowup doll.

The blowup doll, with Lola’s face Photoshopped onto it, is the singer’s co-star on the cover of her new album, which is called I’m Only F****** Myself. It’ll be out Sept. 19. On Instagram she describes it as, “My ode to self sabotage, my chance to claw myself back from the edge of defeat.” It’s available for preorder now.

Lola actually dropped an Easter egg for the album in the video for her new single, “One Thing.” In one scene she’s sitting next to the blowup doll.

The new album will include “One Thing,” and presumably the new song she’s releasing on Friday, which she says is called “Not Like That Anymore.”

As previously reported, Lola will launch a North American headlining tour Nov. 1 in Toronto, wrapping Dec. 7 in LA. Before that, she’ll perform at a slew of European festivals, including the U.K.’s Glastonbury and Lollapalooza Paris, plus the All Things Go Festival in New York and Maryland on Sept. 27 and 28.

June 18, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Grateful Dead fans will once again have the chance to head to the theaters to see their favorite band on the big screen, and this time the event will be part of the continued celebration of the band’s 60th anniversary.

The Dead’s latest Meet-Up at the Movies will take place Aug. 14. It will feature a showing of the band’s concert film The Grateful Dead Movie, which will be shown in theaters, as well as on IMAX screens for the very first time. An advance screening will also be held in 60 IMAX North American locations on Aug. 13.

The Grateful Dead Movie is a recording of their five-night stand at San Francisco’s Winterland Ballroom in October 1974, which at the time was believed to be their final run of shows. It features not only performances, but interviews with the band and animation, along with a focus on the band’s fans and their “Dead Head” lifestyle.

It will also feature a bonus performance of “China Cat Sunflower/I Know You Rider” at the end, the first time the performance is being shown on the big screen.

The film, one of only two directed by the late Dead founder Jerry Garcia, was originally released in movie theaters in 1978. The new screening marks the first time it’s being shown in theaters in eight years.

Tickets for The Dead’s Meet-Up at the Movies go on sale June 26 at 9 a.m. ET. More info can be found at MeetUpAtTheMovies.com.

Scarlett Johansson listens to this Chappell Roan song ’20 times a day’

June 18, 2025 by WDNY Radio

If you’ve got kids, their favorite song will inevitably become your favorite song. Just ask Scarlett Johansson.

At the U.K. premiere of her movie Jurassic World on Tuesday, Johansson was asked by MTV UK what her favorite Chappell Roan song is. “I mean, my son’s favorite Chappell song is H-O-T T-O G-O, ‘HOT TO GO,'” she responded, referring to Cosmo, her 3-year-old son with husband Colin Jost.

“And I don’t know if it’s my favorite, but because he sings it, it has become my favorite,” she continued.

“I love it, too,” Johansson admitted. “I mean, who am I kidding? I listen to it 20 times a day.”

Back in March, Johansson said that after reading an article about Chappell, she found herself relating to and feeling empathetic toward her.

As the actress told InStyle, “[Chappell’s] very outspoken about how hard it’s been to adjust to fame. It’s like heartthrobs. That’s hard. When I was younger, I dated actors that had heartthrob status. That is, to me, scary. I don’t have that level. Fan crush-dom can be really hard.”

June 18, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Nine Inch Nails‘ Peel It Back world tour continued Tuesday in Manchester, England, and the set included the live performance of the Pretty Hate Machine song “That’s What I Get” for the first time in over 30 years.

According to Setlist.fm, the last time Trent Reznor and company played “That’s What I Get” live was in 1991, two years after NIN’s debut album was released in 1989.

Tuesday’s show also included the live debut of the song “A Minute to Breathe,” which Reznor released alongside scoring partner and NIN bandmate Atticus Ross in 2016 for the environmental documentary Before the Flood.

The Peel It Back tour will continue to travel through Europe into mid-July before coming to the U.S. in August.

Benson Boone says Katy Perry told him leaving ‘American Idol’ was ‘best thing’ he ever did

June 18, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Benson Boone was a contestant on American Idol in 2021 and made it to the top 24, but then dropped out of the show. Considering that he’s now a global pop superstar, it’s no surprise that Katy Perry — who was a judge on the show at the time and even predicted he’d win — thinks it was a good move for him to leave.

Appearing on The Scott Mills Breakfast Show on the U.K.’s BBC Radio 2, Benson said, “I actually think she is really glad that I left the show.”

He said he talked to her at an award show, noting, “She was, like, really happy for me. Also really worried about me.”

“I think she understands that when you’re starting to go through all of this, there’s just a lot of hate coming your way; a lot of people that want things from you,” he continued. “She was more just checking in on me. … She actually really is a lovely person.”

“She told me, she was like, ‘Leaving that show was, like, the best thing you ever did,'” Benson added. “I think she understands. Like, I didn’t even know if I wanted to do music at the time.”

Benson revealed he didn’t actually audition to be on Idol —his season took place during the COVID-19 pandemic and there weren’t any auditions. Instead, he said, the show reached out to him because they saw his videos online. He figured, “What have I got to lose?”

But Benson said after making the top 24, he wanted out.

“So I just got off the show and I was very fortunate to do so,” he added.

Benson, who had the #1 song in the world last year with “Beautiful Things,” has his second album, American Heart, coming out on Friday.
