Music notes: Teddy Swims, Myles Smith and more

March 30, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Teddy Swims has new music coming. He’s posted a link to presave a track called “Mr. Know It All,” and you can hear a snippet of it now on Instagram. He’s completely wiped his Instagram as well, so there may be more than just a song coming. Since releasing his Grammy-nominated album I’ve Tried Everything but Therapy (Part 2) in January 2025, Teddy has released a collaboration called “Gone, Gone, Gone” with David Guetta and Tones and I, and a song for the soundtrack of the Netflix show Nobody Wants This.

Myles Smith also has a new song coming: the title track from his debut album, My Mess. My Heart. My Life. The song drops April 10; the album arrives June 11.

After being estranged from them for quite some time, Britney Spears has seemingly reunited with both her sons. Britney shared an Instagram video of herself dancing on a boat and posing with Sean Preston Federline and Jayden James Federline, who she shares with her ex-husband Kevin Federline. In a separate post, she’s posing with Sean alone. While Britney has featured Jayden, her younger son, on her social feeds over the past year or so, this is Sean’s first appearance in two years or more.

Brandy honored with Hollywood Walk of Fame star: ‘I’m beyond grateful’

March 30, 2026 by WDNY Radio

“Almost Doesn’t Count,” but an official Hollywood Walk of Fame star does.

Brandy was honored with a star at a ceremony Monday and took to the stage to reflect on her journey.

“Seeing the stars on the Walk of Fame lit something in me. It made me believe. It made me affirm over my own life, ‘I’m going to sing my way into one of these stars,’ and I did,” she said. “That is what makes this moment profound for me, so full circle, so sacred. I’m beyond grateful.”

“A star on the Walk of Fame is a definition of legacy. It doesn’t just celebrate your success, it cements your story. It doesn’t just honor your work, it immortalizes your light. It is a symbol that says you didn’t just arrive, you endured. You didn’t just dream, you became,” Brandy said.

“To me, this honor reflects the greats. It means you made it in a way that stands the test of time, not just in popularity, not just in the moment but in a way that leaves fingerprints on culture, art and on history. That humbles me deeply.

Brandy thanked “every person who saw something in me before the world did,” her family, her mentors, her collaborators and more.

She is set to release her memoir, Phrases, on Tuesday.

March 30, 2026 by WDNY Radio

After racking up their seventh #1 album on the Billboard 200 chart with ARIRANG, BTS has now notched their seventh #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.

“SWIM,” the first single from ARIRANG, debuts on top of the chart. With it, BTS continues their streak of having the most #1 hits for any group since 2020, when they earned their first one: “Savage Love (Laxed – Siren Beat)” with Jawsh 685 and Jason Derulo.

They also have the most #1 hits for a group in nearly 50 years, when the Bee Gees topped the chart nine times from 1971 through 1979. The record for the most overall is held by The Beatles, with 20, followed by The Supremes with 12, the Bee Gees with nine, The Rolling Stones with eight and then BTS with seven.

BTS’ other #1 hits include “Butter,” “Dynamite” and “My Universe,” with Coldplay. Among the individual members of BTS, Jimin and Jung Kook have each earned one #1 on the Hot 100 with, respectively, “Like Crazy” and “Seven.”

Bruce Springsteen to stream first two songs from Land of Hope and Dreams American tour opening night

March 30, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band kick off their Land of Hope and Dreams American tour on Tuesday at the Target Center in Minneapolis, and The Boss is giving fans at home a chance to experience at least a part of it.

Springsteen has announced that the first two songs of the show will stream live on YouTube and for subscribers in the nugs.net app. Audio of the full concert will also be available after the show in the nugs app.

“We are living through dark, disturbing and dangerous times, but do not despair — the cavalry is coming! Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band will be taking the stage this spring from Minneapolis to California to Texas to Washington, D.C. for the Land of Hope And Dreams American Tour,” Springsteen said in a video announcing the tour in February. “We will be rocking your town in celebration and in defense of America — American democracy, American freedom, our American Constitution and our sacred American dream — all of which are under attack by our wannabe king and his rogue government in Washington, D.C.”

The tour is set to wrap with an outdoor show on May 27 at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. A complete list of dates can be found at BruceSpringsteen.net.

Ahead of the tour, Springsteen was in Minnesota Saturday to perform his new protest song “Streets of Minneapolis” at the No Kings rally at the Minnesota Capitol in St. Paul.

En Vogue talks departure of former members Rhona Bennett, Dawn Robinson

March 30, 2026 by WDNY Radio

En Vogue will tour this summer with TLC and Salt-N-Pepa, performing with members Terry Ellis, Maxine Jones and Cindy Herron. In an interview with People, the group addressed the absence of Rhona Bennett and Dawn Robinson.

According to the group, Bennett’s absence stems from unresolved contract negotiations. Ellis said Bennett was allowed to continue performing without a signed agreement, though “there was a lot of going back and forth between attorneys.”

When terms remained unsettled, the group performed without her at the 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Ellis claimed they later learned on social media that Bennett had left, adding, “She could be here, she chose not to be.”

Addressing Robinson, Ellis pushed back on her claim that the group wasn’t paid well for their success. She said Robinson “became adamant about being solo.” “She’s told us multiple times, ‘I’ll never come back.’ The door has never been closed to Dawn,” Ellis said. “We’ve always wanted her back. We wish her the best.”

Bennett has since responded to several points from the interview. She said in a Facebook post that she had consistently “prioritized En Vogue” throughout various contract cycles and was not informed in advance about the Hall of Fame performance. She also rejected the claim that the group learned of her departure through social media, stating that she made her announcement two days after her attorney received an email that the contract offer was withdrawn on Nov. 11.

“Ultimately, the terms presented were not aligned with my values or a level of mutual respect in the relationship,” she wrote on Facebook. “I spent over 20 years being connected to the brand and contributing to the group’s legacy. My position is rooted in self-respect.”

Mitchell Tenpenny’s new video arrives at the ‘Speed of Light’

March 30, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Mitchell Tenpenny walks the night streets of Gallatin, Tennessee, in the video for his new single, “Speed of Light.”

He also plays the piano in the middle of the road in the new clip shot on the outskirts of Nashville.

“I wrote ‘Speed of Light’ with some of my best friends, including one of my favorite artists and close friends—Teddy Swims,” Mitchell says. “We started the session talking about euphoric songs, songs that feel like outer space, and that’s how we ended up on ‘Speed of Light.’”

Jesse Hampton and Dallas Wilson are Mitchell’s other co-writers on the tune.

“I didn’t have a super great love song in my catalog that reflects who I am today, so this feels like my song,” Mitchell adds.

Speed of Light is the name of Mitchell’s headlining tour, which continues as he sets out on HARDY’s COUNTRY! COUNTRY! trek April 9 in Knoxville.

Dave Mason releases his first children’s book

March 30, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Traffic co-founder Dave Mason has released his first children’s book, Hole in My Shoe, a reimagining of his 1967 song, which he wrote when he was just 19 years old.

“‘Hole In My Shoe’ was the first song I ever wrote,” says Mason. “Released by Traffic in 1967, it spent 14 weeks on the U.K. charts, climbed to #2, and has carried its charm ever since. Now, it’s been reimagined as a children’s book for all ages.”

He notes, “I’ve had the lyrics beautifully illustrated and re-recorded the song, which is included as a download inside the book—and it’s the only way you can hear it.”

The new version of “Hole in My Shoe” features guitarist John McFee of The Doobie Brothers, with Mason’s wife contributing the spoken word passages to the song. The book includes a QR code for a free download of the updated recording.

“It brings great satisfaction [to] revisit my first creative endeavor,” he says of the book, which features illustrations by Jillian Dister. “A lot of miles and music have happened since then, and that song opened a door to a life bigger and better than I ever imagined.”

The book is available for purchase now at DaveMasonMusic.com.

In September, after more than 60 years in music, the 79-year-old Mason announced that he was retiring from touring due to ongoing health issues. While this is his first children’s book, he previously released his memoir, Only You Know and I Know, in 2024.

Her show will go on, in Paris: Céline Dion confirms limited engagement for September

March 30, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Céline Dion has confirmed what many had already assumed: she’s returning to the concert stage in Paris.

In a video message on Instagram Monday — the Canadian superstar’s birthday — Céline says, “This year, I’m getting the best birthday gift of my life. … I’m getting the chance to see you, to perform for you once again in Paris, beginning in September.”

The video was also shown on the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

“I’m feeling good, I’m strong, I’m feeling excited, obviously a little nervous, but most of all, I’m grateful to all of you. I love you all and I’ll see you soon!”

CELINE DION PARIS 2026 will be a five-week engagement at Paris La Défense Arena, which holds 40,000 people, starting Sept. 12. She’ll play a total of 10 nights through Oct. 14. According to a press release, the show will feature the singer’s “most beloved hits in both French and English.”

You can register for the presale on celinedion.com now through Thursday at 1 p.m. ET. The presale starts April 7; tickets go on sale to the general public April 10 at 4 a.m. ET. VIP packages will also be available.

Céline last performed a full concert on March 8, 2020; she was forced to cancel her Courage World Tour due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A planned 2021 residency in Las Vegas never materialized due to her stiff-person syndrome diagnosis, a rare condition that causes debilitating muscle spasms.

Céline choosing Paris as the city for her engagement is fitting: Her first public performance after revealing her diagnosis took place at the Eiffel Tower during the 2024 Olympics.

Watch new trailer for season 3 of ‘Euphoria’

March 30, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Euphoria fans are getting another glimpse of the highly anticipated third season of the show.

In a new trailer released Monday, Rue, played by Zendaya, is being interrogated by DEA agents. “Have you ever been to Mexico?” an agent asks, to which she responds, “Me? In Mexico?” The trailer then continues with scenes of Rue in the country.

Also featured are clips of Nate (Jacob Elordi) and Cassie’s (Sydney Sweeney) wedding, as well as Cassie admitting to him that she’s working with his ex Maddy (Alexa Demie) on her adult content creation. Jules (Hunter Schafer) is seen returning to sex work before Rue offers to be her sugar daddy. Meanwhile, Lexi’s (Maude Apatow) play gets great reviews from Sharon Stone’s character, an executive.

Rue is also shown holding a Bible and being confronted by Colman Domingo’s Ali, who tells her to undo the evil by changing herself. He is seen later in the trailer on a hospital bed, among other teaser moments.

The full third season of Euphoria, created, written, directed and executive produced by Sam Levinson, premieres April 12 on HBO and HBO Max. Picking up after a time jump, the official logline says the story follows “a group of childhood friends” who “wrestle with the virtue of faith, the possibility of redemption, and the problem of evil.”

Eric Dane, Martha Kelly, Chloe Cherry, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and Toby Wallace also star in the show.

Dane, who plays Nate’s father Cal Jacobs, passed in February following his battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS.

Angus Cloud, who portrayed Fezco in seasons 1 and 2, died in 2023 of an accidental overdose.
