For someone such as myself who has had love for both Seven Lions and Lights separately, it is not surprising to find that together they sound like a match made in heaven.  The fall 2015 single “Falling Away,” dropped by Seven Lions only proved this to be true. The original mix was more progressive than that typical of Seven Lions, creating a piece that was much more focused on a smooth melody than bass drops. The difference of the piece was enjoyable, yet still the later release of the festival mix managed to outshine the original upon release.

The drop has oh-so-effortlessly made its return in the festival mix along with synths to change the track entirely and make the original feel as if it were missing this all along. Still holding the beautiful melody, “Falling Away (Festival Mix)” moves you in a way we all know from the Santa Barbara genre-hopper. In its entirety, Seven Lions gave new life to an already young and beautiful song, and made something more for fans to remember.

In a separate post, Ann Wilson addressed the situation, explaining that the “time-sensitive” medical procedure she had undergone in late May was to remove something that “as it turns out, was cancerous”.

She added: “The operation was successful & I’m feeling great but my doctors are now advising me to undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy & I’ve decided to do it. And so my doctors are instructing me to take the rest of the year away from the stage in order to fully recover.”

Wilson also wrote that she “absolutely” plans “to be back on stage in 2025”, and signed off by saying that her letter would be “the last public statement I’d like to make on the matter”. Read the full post below.

In late May, Wilson and Heart announced that their European shows would be cancelled as the singer had to undergo “time-sensitive” medical procedures. At the time, the nature of the procedure was unknown, but they shared that Wilson’s expected recovery time would be six weeks. Heart wrapped up their first leg of their North American tour with Cheap Trick in late April and May.

In April, the band teamed up with Jimmy Fallon to perform the ’80s hit ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart’ to mark April 8th’s solar eclipse. Most of North America and Mexico witnessed the spectacle for the first time since 2017. A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon lines up perfectly between the Earth and the sun, blocking out the sunlight. North America won’t see the celestial event again for 21 years.

Rapper B.G.’s Future Songs Must Be Approved by the U.S. Government, Judge Rules

When New Orleans rapper B.G. came home in September after serving an 11-year sentence following his guilty plea on two counts of possession of a firearm and one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice, the rap community rejoiced. He’s the man responsible for entering the phrase “bling-bling” into the pop culture lexicon, after all.

But nearly a year later, the founding member of ’90s rap group Hot Boys is facing an unusual legal challenge: On Friday (June 28), a U.S. District Court judge in Louisiana ruled that the New Orleans rapper must provide the U.S. Probation Office with a copy of the lyrics to his upcoming songs for approval before producing or promoting them.

Why Proposed Laws to Stop the Criminalization of Rap Lyrics Don’t Go Far Enough (Guest Column)

07/01/2024

The decision, handed down by U.S. district court judge Susie Morgan, came several months after B.G. (real name Christopher Dorsey) was arrested in March for performing at a Las Vegas concert alongside rapper Lil Boosie; apparently, B.G. needed prior permission from the court to associate with acts that also have felony convictions on their record, as Lil Boosie does. The probation officer in the case also cited B.G.’s work with Gucci Mane, another rapper/convicted felon with whom B.G. released a collaborative mixtape, Choppers & Bricks, in December.

B.G. was subsequently released on his own recognizance pending the judge’s decision. Shortly after, the rapper expressed his frustration in an Instagram post, saying in part, “It’s crazy how after paying my debt to society with 12 and a half years of my life I come home and still ain’t free…I been doing everything the right way and it seems like that ain’t enough.”

At a court hearing on June 18, B.G. and prosecutors confirmed they had reached a deal to modify the conditions of the rapper’s supervised release following his March arrest but “disagreed” over the prosecutors’ request to prohibit the rapper “from promoting and glorifying future gun violence/murder” in his music and at his concerts, according to the June 28 ruling.

“The Defendant argues that the additional condition proposed by the Government is an unconstitutional prior restraint of speech that is an overly broad condition of supervised release,” the ruling reads.

The judge ultimately found that the prosecutors’ request was “not sufficiently clear and specific to serve as a guide for the Defendant’s conduct and for those entrusted with his supervision,” instead imposing a special condition that B.G. provide the probation office “with a copy of the lyrics of any song he writes,” according to the ruling. All lyrics B.G. shares with the probation office will be passed to the U.S. government, which can then decide if his “conduct is inconsistent with the goals of rehabilitation,” the ruling continues.

A representative for B.G. did not immediately respond to Billboard‘s request for comment.

The ruling is certain to cause controversy at a time when the practice of lyrics being used against rappers in criminal court has become a hot-button issue. In November, a judge ruled that Young Thug‘s lyrics can be used during his YSL RICO case, saying that “the First Amendment is not on trial.” Bobby Shmurda and the late Drakeo the Ruler have also had their lyrics used against them in criminal cases. There have since have been laws passed and proposed on both the state and federal levels to stop the criminalization of rap lyrics; in September, California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law a statute restricting the practice, while similar laws have been proposed in New York and the U.S. House of Representatives.

“I Miss Him Every Minute”: Avicii’s Father Opens Up About Tim’s Passing

Time and time again we’re shown how timeless Tim’s legacy truly is.

Recently, the internet saw another clip in which time held its breath: Avicii, the legendary Swedish producer, playing at, what would become, one of the limited gigs he’d play along his tragically short life. The ten-minute clip features his set at the Tallriken in Malmo, dated August 2016, and shows him performing four tracks: ‘Without You’, ‘Hey Brother’, ‘Shame On Me’, and ‘You Make Me’. The footage, initially an Avicii Experience tribute museum exclusive, has now been made accessible to a wider audience.

Prior to his passing in April 2018, Tim was an icon of Dance music, learning to innovate through thick and thin. “Innovating” is a word that is so cheesily used these days, but trust me, Avicii was miles ahead of the curve, even receiving backlash on his most successful ‘Wake Me Up’ for a never-before-seen blend of Country and Dance music. That same song, along with other four of his discography, have now scored more than a billion streams on Spotify alone.

Klas Bergling

A BBC interview was directed towards Avicii’s father, Klas Bergling, in which he opened up about the times and events surrounding his son’s death. “I miss him every minute“, he says. “I talk to him every day. But, I admit, I get angry at him sometimes. Why did you do it? Why did you leave us?“. The interview shows Klas like never before, revealing memories and moments from Tim’s story that often happened outside the fire-filled stages and joyful social media posts.

Avicii’s father talks about his point of view whenever Tim went touring, how substances sometimes became his son’s escape to the trying times he was going through in between shows, and, ultimately, reflects on events following his decease, such as the release of Avicii’s posthumous album, Tim, and a concert held in his memory, among others.

Read the full interview right here. We miss you, Tim.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard Unveil 26th Studio Album ‘Flight b741,’ Set to Land in August

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard has taken to its social channels to announce Flight b741, the band’s hotly-anticipated 26th studio album. Set to fly from p(doom)–the group’s recently established independent record label–on August 9, the latest offering is still shrouded in intrigue, with no release accompanying its first announcement; fans will have to hold out until July 9 for the first single and an accompanying music video directed by Guy Tyzack, who previously created the video for “Black Hot Soup” from King Gizzard’s acclaimed leftfield 2021 project Butterfly 3000.

Given the band’s trademark breakneck release schedule, the 10 months that have passed since the group’s electrified 2023 project The Silver Cord and the forthcoming album have been an uncharacteristically long wait for King Gizzard’s passionate following. In the terse album announcement post, the band offers that it has “Been working real hard on this one. So excited for you all to hear it!”

While the genre-contorting psych-fusion expeditionaries have never stayed in one sound for long, its past few years have seen rapid shape-shifting, assuming influence from metal, trance, krautrock, thrash and more. While none of the 10 tracks on the new project have seen official studio releases yet, the band debuted “Mirage City,” “Sad Pilot,” “Raw Feel,” “Daily Blues,” and “Le Risqué” on its recent European tour. Sample the tracks via the fan-recorded videos below.

Eminem Calls on Big Sean & Babytron for ‘Tobey’: Stream It Now

Shady’s back, tell a friend! Eminem unveiled the second single from his upcoming album on Tuesday (July 2), and for “Tobey,” he tapped fellow Detroit natives Big Sean and Babytron as the featured artists. The song’s corresponding music video is set to arrive on Friday (July 5).

Here’s Everything We Know About Eminem’s ‘The Death of Slim…

06/11/2024

“Tobey” marks Em’s first collab with Babytron and fourth with Big Sean following their team-up in 2017 on I Decided’s “No Favors,” Detroit 2‘s “Friday Night Cypher” and ShadyXV‘s “Detroit Vs. Everybody.”

Eminem’s The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce) will serve as his 12th studio album and is slated to arrive on July 12. (The release date was announced the night before the arrival of “Tobey,” via a horror-themed trailer.) The album follows 2020’s Music to Be Murdered By, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 to give Eminem his historic 10th consecutive leader. He kicked off the highly anticipated album rollout for The Death of Slim Shady with his nostalgic “Houdini” single, which gave Em his highest charting track of the decade when it debuted at No. 2 on the Hot 100.

Em originally announced plans for the album shortly after his appearance at the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit. He teased his own version of an Unsolved Mysteries episode featuring a cameo from 50 Cent. However, it was actually Dr. Dre who revealed the details about Eminem’s upcoming album during a late-night appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in March.
