June 24, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Meghan Trainor‘s out with “Bad for Me,” the first single and video from her upcoming album, Takin’ It Back.

The track, featuring Teddy Swims, is “a true story for me,” says Meghan in a statement. “It’s about how I stood up for myself and took a step back from a relationship that was hurting me more than anything. It’s hard to do, but I needed to in order to feel better.”

Based on the lyrics — “I know we’re blood/but this love is bad for me” — it appears the relationship wasn’t romantic but with someone in her family. Meghan didn’t give any further details.

Meghan and Teddy will be performing “Bad For Me” for the first time on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! tonight, Friday, June 24th.

Meghan’s also released the track list for Takin’ It Back. In addition to the previously reported collaboration with singer Natti Natasha and Cuban music legend Arturo Sandoval, it also features a track called “Sensitive” with Pentatonix‘s Scott Hoying.

Takin’ It Back is out October 21. In a statement, Meghan says, “I tried to do the doo-wop feel I had at the beginning of my career, but the 2022 version of it. This is from the new Meghan who is a wife and mom with a baby. This is from me right now. I decided to give the people what they want, but with my spices added to it.”

Scott Weiland’s son, Noah, drops debut solo EP: “Wish my pops was here to hear this”

June 24, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Noah Weiland is following in his father’s footsteps with the release of his debut solo EP.

The 21-year-old son of late Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland has dropped Last Kiss Before Detox, a three-song collection available now via digital outlets.

Noah had previously been in the band Suspect208, which also included London Hudson and Tye Trujillo, the children of Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash and Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo, respectively. In an Instagram post, Noah calls Last Kiss Before Detox his “first OFFICIAL project technically.”

“An EP I put my whole heart into,” Noah writes. “From pain, addiction, the love of my life, heartbreak, being homeless, betrayed by people who I once cared about and my entire life.”

“This is just the beginning I am so excited,” he adds. “I consider this also a dedication to the woman I love most. The way I express my feelings best through ART. Wish my pops was here to hear this but now it’s my turn to takeover.”

In addition to fronting STP, Scott Weiland also had a solo career. His last record was 2015’s Blaster, which was recorded with his solo band, The Wildabouts. It was released just nine months before Scott died later that year at age 48.

GoFundMe for jilted Burger King employee tops $46K, including $5K from David Spade

GoFundMe for jilted Burger King employee tops K, including K from David Spade

When Kevin Ford went viral earlier in the week for showing off his goodbye gift after 27 years of service to a Las Vegas airport Burger King, it got a lot of attention.

After all, for all his “loyalty…and never missing a day,” his SWAG bag was more than a little lacking: It included a movie ticket, a bag of Reeses Pieces, a Starbucks cup and a couple of pens, among other office bric-a-brac.

His daughter Seryna started a GoFundMe for the 54-year-old grandad, expressing he worked tirelessly and managed to raise his family and put four daughters through college thanks to his hard work — and the internet delivered.

The campaign has topped $46,000 as of late Friday morning — and to the grateful former employee’s surprise, one donor of $5,000 turned out to be David Spade.

For his part, TMZ reports, Ford was shocked to see that the “David Spade” on his list of benefactors was the David Spade from Saturday Night Live and Tommy Boy.

According to a screengrab of Instagram DMs between the two, Ford used the “mind blown” emoji, among other unprintable exultations. “Cannot believe this!!” Ford exclaimed, adding, “I think I might be able to take a day off,” to which Spade replied, “Wait until year 30.”

Ford then joked, “Damn, Are You One Of My Managers?”

The dedicated worker tells the gossip site that he intends to spend some of the donors’ generosity to visit his grandkids in Texas and buy a hybrid car.

Tyler Hubbard aims to be present in new song, “35’s”

June 24, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Tyler Hubbard is letting go of life’s worries in his new song, “35’s.”

The lyrics find the hit singer admitting that he’s a guy who’s “always grinding” and “guilty of going too fast,” with an unwavering desire to win. But he wants to let go of his fast-paced way of life for a moment and slow down, taking to his truck and the open road to unwind.

“Sometimes I gotta slow down/Catch a roll down some red-rock road/Let it all sink in like these 35’s/Make some time to kill/Kick it back and chill/Do a little more livin’ than gettin’ by,” he sings in the guitar-heavy chorus.

“It’s a song that makes me wanna put the pedal to the metal, but it’s really about slowing down and living life at a slower pace, being present, and in the moment,” Tyler describes of the track he co-wrote a couple years ago with Jordan Schmidt and Michael Tyler. “It’s become an anthem in my home that I never get tired of. This one’s gonna be fun to play live. Turn this one up.”

“35’s” will be featured on Tyler’s upcoming solo studio album. His debut single, “5 Foot 9,” is climbing up the top 30 on country radio.

“The guilt is the hardest”: Chris Daughtry talks about losing his mom and stepdaughter a week apart

June 24, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Chris Daughtry‘s been through a lot of tragedy in the past year, losing his mother to cancer and his stepdaughter Hannah to suicide a week apart. On Thursday’s installment of The Kelly Clarkson Show, Chris opened up about how he’s been coping.

“I think the common denominator in both is the guilt,” the American Idol alum shared. “The ‘I wish I would’ve said this, I wish I would’ve done this, I wish I would’ve called more.'”

He added, “The guilt is the hardest, because you can’t do anything about it, and there’s always gonna be reminders of what you could’ve done..and I tend to beat myself up a lot over it.”

However, Chris said he and his family have dealt with their losses in a “very healthy way.” He went on to detail how his children were an active part of the burial process — he didn’t indicate whose burial — but said seeing them “process it” was very “healing.”

Chris and his band Daughtry‘s latest album is called Dearly Beloved.

June 24, 2022 by WDNY Radio

After premiering his new solo song “Patient Number 9” featuring Jeff Beck earlier this morning, Ozzy Osbourne has now debuted the song’s video.

The clip, directed by famed comic book creator Todd McFarlane, finds the Prince of Darkness in a hospital slowly turning into a demon, cut with a fantastical cartoon adventure. At one point, cartoon Ozzy is about to once again bite the head off a bat, before an even bigger bat grabs him and takes revenge.

“Having worked with Ozzy in the past, I jumped at another opportunity to do so again…especially on the music side this time,” says McFarlane.

“In the harsh business called the music industry, any creative person who’s sustained a multi-decades career has shown the skill, talent and tenacity that will always garner my admiration,” he adds. “Ozzy has shown many of us creative folks that it’s indeed possible to make a living doing what you love for nearly an entire lifetime. Go, Ozzy!”

You can watch the video streaming now on YouTube.

As previously reported, “Patient Number 9” is the lead single and title track off the next Ozzy solo album, the follow-up to 2020’s Ordinary Man. The Andrew Watt-produced record features a number of guests, including Black Sabbath‘s Tony Iommi, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, Eric Clapton, Pearl Jam‘s Mike McCready, Black Label Society‘s Zakk Wylde, Duff McKagan of Guns N’ Roses, Jane’s Addiction‘s Chris Chaney and Metallica‘s Robert Trujillo.

Additionally, late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins makes a posthumous appearance.

Patient Number 9, the album, arrives September 9.
