Lainey Wilson’s “Phone, Keys, Wallet” (BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville)
Lainey Wilson’s got her “Phone, Keys, Wallet” and she’s getting ready to unlock the new music she’s been working on for quite awhile.
And it sounds like her new radio single featuring John Mayer is just the beginning.
“To tell you the truth, we were already in the kitchen cooking it up before Whirlwind was even out,” Lainey reveals. “I feel like we’re always writing because I don’t feel like I’m myself if I’m not creating and writing. I feel that’s the thing that like gets me through all the busyness and all the other parts of the job that exist.”
Whirlwind came out in August 2024, which would mean she’s already been crafting her new music for nearly two years.
“I think people are really gonna love what we’ve been working on,” she continues. “I mean, of course I’m partial, but I think it definitely is gonna like show another side of my artistry while always staying true to myself. But the more life I live, the more experience I have, the more I realize I’ve got more to say and share, and it’s gonna be good.”
“Phone, Keys, Wallet” is already a top-30 country hit.
K Camp has a new album out titled Giant. Speaking to ABC Audio, he says the title reflects how he sees himself and the legacy he’s building.
“What I stand for, the culture, my impact in the culture. How I carry myself on the music side, on the personal side and the business side. I feel like I’m a giant,” he says.
The album follows previous projects Kiss 6 and Built Different, which he says are all part of a larger story.
“When I made Built Different, I was like … I’m doing this independent s*** for real, like on a high level. So I got to be built different. I got be moving a different way from these n***** who say they doing it, but ain’t really doing it.”
That mindset eventually led to Giant.
“Now I’m like, OK, I really do what I said I was doing and what I wrote on them vision boards,” he says. “I put my money where my mouth is, I invest in everything I do, and I stand on 10 when it comes to my business and my music, so I feel like that’s just giant s***.”
Giant is a collaboration with producer Zaytoven and features fellow Atlanta artists, including 2 Chainz, as a tribute to his hometown.
“I got the free range and creativity to do what I want, how I want to,” he says of why he decided to honor his city with the project. “When I get that feeling, I don’t really go against it. … I feel like it’s the right thing to do at that moment, I got to do it.”
Foo Fighters are currently on tour in Europe in support of their new album, Your Favorite Toy, which dropped in April. They’ll launch a North American stadium tour in August.
‘Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul’ (Subtext/Rolling Stone Films)
The new documentary Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soulopens in theaters Wednesday, giving fans insight into the legendary Allman Brothers Band frontman.
For the film’s producer Michael Lehman, a good friend of the rocker’s, getting Gregg’s life on the big screen was important in order to show fans who he really was.
“The story about Gregg Allman is incredible,” Lehman tells ABC Audio, noting while fans saw Gregg as a rock star, “that’s really not who Gregg was.”
“Gregg was a quiet, shy, Southern gentleman [who] was the furthest thing in his mind from a rock star,” he says. “And I wanted the world to have the opportunity to learn about the man.”
The film’s centered around a previously unseen 2014 interview with Gregg. Lehman says it was shot after he knew he was sick with cancer and was “entering what would be the final stages of his life.”
The film’s director, James Keach, says as a filmmaker, the interview was “pure gold.”
“You get to see Gregg Allman without any secrets,” he says. “He’s at a time in his life [when] he doesn’t have to hide anything. So as an audience, he doesn’t hide anything from us.”
The film delves into the early days of the Allman Brothers, as well as the death of Gregg’s brother and bandmate Duane Allman in 1971, and how that affected the rocker’s life. It also explores Gregg’s many marriages, his addiction problems and what Keach calls the “beautiful redemption” of Gregg cleaning up his life.
It also features interviews with artists like Warren Haynes, Jackson Browne and Jaimoe, the last surviving founding member of the Allman Brothers. Keach calls it “a great tribute” to Gregg.
“I never got the feeling that anybody was ever jealous,” he says. “They were very grateful that they got to play with him.”
Netflix has renewed the comedy series — from co-creators Tina Fey, Lang Fisher and Tracey Wigfield — for a third season.
“We are thrilled to be able to bring a third season of The Four Seasons to life,” the three say. “Thank you to everyone who watched. Middle-aged people, LFG!”
The show follows a year in the life of a group of longtime friends over the course of four seasonal vacations.
Fey stars alongside Will Forte, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Colman Domingo, Marco Calvani and Erika Henningsen. Steve Carell starred in season 1, although his character, Nick, died in a car crash at the end of that season. Season 2 found the friends dealing with the aftermath of that death and keeping up their travel traditions.
“It’s been a joy watching the chaotic, beautiful journey of these lifelong friends,” says Tracey Pakosta, vice president of U.S. comedy series at Netflix. “Tina Fey, Lang Fisher, and Tracey Wigfield have a magical way of blending heart and sharp humor, making us feel like part of the inner circle. Audiences have fallen in love with these characters and this legendary cast’s electric chemistry. We’re thrilled to keep the vacation going for Season 3.”

(WASHINGTON) — President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance both signed a memorandum of understanding with Iran, which would cease fighting on all fronts for 60 days and is expected to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to all traffic, a senior administration official said Monday.
The official said the signatures were done digitally and that a formal signing will happen in Geneva, Switzerland on Friday.
While the official said the details of the agreement will be released within the next 24 to 48 hours, Trump on Monday said the text of the memorandum of understanding would be released “pretty soon,” but sometime after Friday.
“This is a very powerful document, and I want it to be released. So, probably pretty soon,” Trump said during a press conference with French President Emmanuel Macron shortly after landing in France for the G7.
Trump said “it depends” if he will attend the signing ceremony in Geneva on Friday, but that Vance would be there.
Senior administration officials on Monday acknowledged there was still significant work to be done during the detailed nuclear negotiations to come, but asserted they now had direct relationships with “a number of people at the highest levels of Iranian government” and had reached “what we believe will be an understanding in the next phase.”
A senior administration official said the memorandum of understanding “provides for the immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz,” which Iran closed after the war started. The official also emphasized “immediate — just to be clear here, it takes a little bit of time, because you know you have mines in the strait.”
Spokesman for Iran’s Foreign Ministry, Esmaeil Baqaei, said that, according to the MOU, Iran will be responsible to provide “the security and safe traffic of the ships,” adding that Tehran will do so in cooperation with Muscat and in consultation with stakeholders.
On Monday, the president said that “the strait is already partially opened” and that it will be fully opened by Friday. They are still working to clear the area of sea mines, he said.
“I think it will adjust very, very quickly, and I think obviously the prioritization will be on the heavy tankers, you know, the gas, the oils. I think that will actually flow very quickly,” the official said.
The U.S. blockade of Iranian naval ports will lift as well, but the U.S. Navy warns that it will remain in place until the agreement is formally completed.
On the topic of tolls, the official said that the MOU ensured the Strait of Hormuz be “toll-free for 60 days,” with the expectation that it will become part of the “final agreement as well.”
Iranian officials said that a ceasefire in Lebanon is included within the deal. However, Israel’s defense minister said after the agreement was announced that Israel does not plan to remove its forces from southern Lebanon.
When pressed about Israel’s role in the MOU, one of the senior U.S. administration officials responded, saying that Israel withdrawing from Lebanon was “not a condition of the deal.”
“The deal is a ceasefire, and it will not be a one-way ceasefire, meaning that if Iran is not able to control Hezbollah, and if they attack Israeli positions or Israeli towns, Israel will have the right to defend themselves and respond,” a senior administration official said.
The senior U.S. administration official said that MOU’s outline includes “verifying that [Iran is] not building a nuclear weapon and not funding radicalism and terrorism in the region.” In return, the official said it would open up the Iranian economy.
Iranian officials have long publicly maintained that the country’s nuclear program operates only for civilian purposes, although Western officials have said their uranium enrichment has gone beyond what would be needed for civilian use. Iran has also said it does not have ambitions to create nuclear weapons, a claim that American officials have disputed.
The officials also said the MOU does not reduce the U.S. force posture in the region.
The senior administration official confirmed that so far “zero dollars of unfrozen assets” have been released to Iran at this point.
The officials made clear that there are not specific things that Iran has to do to receive sanctions relief, but that it’s tied to Iran “behaving more appropriately” in general.
“Their economy is in rough shape, and they need relief badly, and so hopefully we’ll find a way to get to a deal quickly, and if not, President Trump has a lot of tools in his arsenal that he’ll be able to use,” the senior administration official said.
