See Morgan Evans’ side of his divorce from Kelsea Ballerini in 5-part docuseries

February 28, 2023 by WDNY Radio

If you want to know Morgan Evans‘ perspective on his divorce from Kelsea Ballerini, you can check out the five-part docuseries about his single “Over for You.”

In August, Kelsea announced the couple was splitting after nearly five years of marriage. Shortly afterward, Morgan wrote “Over for You.”

“This song is the most personal thing I’ve ever written and the most personal thing I’ve ever shared,” he says.

The minidocumentary is made up of five episodes that are about 10 minutes long, with the titles: “The Return,” “The Reset,” “The Reunion,” “The Release” and “The Refresh.” They capture Morgan as he goes back home to Australia and New Zealand for the CMC Rocks QLD Festival, where he debuted his composition in front of 25,000 fans.

“It felt like channeling all that sort of awfulness into something positive,” he remembers.

“I didn’t realize that I was going to feel this, but after I played it at CMC Rocks, I did feel a weight off my chest,” Morgan says.

You can watch the entire project on Morgan’s YouTube channel.

Kelsea released her own film and EP, Rolling Up the Welcome Mat, on Valentine’s Day.

Dave Grohl brings barbecue to people in need amid SoCal winter storm

February 28, 2023 by WDNY Radio

Dave Grohl‘s passion for barbecue helped support a good cause amid the winter storm that hit Southern California.

As TMZ reports, the Foo Fighters frontman appeared at The Hope Mission homeless shelter in Los Angeles last week to cook up barbecue for some 450 guests, as well as around 50 staff members.

TMZ also shared photos of Grohl working in the kitchen, along with his giant meat smoker.

Grohl previously cooked barbecue for firefighters working during the California wildfires in 2018.

Ellie Goulding delays release of ‘Higher Than Heaven’ album for a second time

February 28, 2023 by WDNY Radio

Ellie Goulding was set to release her fifth studio album, Higher Than Heaven, next month after initially delaying its original release date. But she has some bad news again — the album will now release in the spring.

Ellie revealed in January that Higher Than Heaven, originally due February 3, would be released March 24. In a Tuesday video, she announced the album was pushed back once more — this time to April 7.

“As you know, making these products as green as possible is incredibly important to me so we’ve worked really hard to stick to that promise,” she explained in part. “As a result & due to delays in sourcing these products, we have to push back the release ever so slightly to April 7 just so we can get these beautiful products to you as soon as humanly possible.”

Ellie explained the album’s packaging is “all made with recycled cardboard, which I’m very proud of.” Her online store adds the albums are also wrapped in a renewable, plant-based material.

The singer shared what all the different versions of her album look like and has since updated her online store, where fans can preorder the upcoming album.

Ellie previously released the tracks “Like a Saviour,” “Let It Die” and “Easy Lover” off Higher Than Heaven.

She has also been teasing her upcoming new collaboration with DJ Calvin Harris, “Miracle,” which fans can presave now. A release date for that song hasn’t been revealed and she hasn’t said if the song will appear on her new album.

Album news aside, Ellie also hilariously revealed in the video that she hates saying her name out loud.
