U2 Wrote a Song About Rosalía. How Does She Feel About That?

As revealed in Rolling Stone‘s recent U2 cover story, Bono is a huge Rosalía fan — so huge that he wrote a song about her, “The Mirror Maker (Rosalía),” for U2’s upcoming album, Carnaval De Luz, and texted to ask her for permission. In a new interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Rosalía told her side of the story. “I don’t know Bono,” she told Jimmy Fallon. “But he texted me. And he told me that he had this new project, this new song. ‘The Mirror Maker,’ I think it’s called.”

“He was asking me if certain words made sense,” she said, including one word that sounded something like “mamole.” “I was like, ‘I never heard this word. I don’t know what that means.’ I did some research, and it didn’t exist in standard Spanish. So I just told him, ‘You know, I don’t know, but feel free to invent your own language!'”

David Byrne Turns Elon Musk’s Own Words Into New Song ‘Let Me Sell You a Dream'

David Byrne turns Elon Musk’s own words into a proto-punk song on “Let Me Sell You a Dream,” the Talking Heads singer’s contribution to the Alex Gibney-directed Musk documentary, out Friday.

Byrne teamed up with the film’s composer Daniel Pemberton for the track, which finds the singer arranging Musk’s proclamations from speeches and interviews into abstract lyricism. “Now I’m running human and imitation mode / I’m a chill normal dude / I just have to keep going,” Byrne sings. “Let me sell you a dream / Do you think I’m insane? / I eat a glass sandwich / I eat them every day.”

Pharrell Wants ‘Vague and Ambiguous’ Chad Hugo Copyright Lawsuit Tossed

Pharrell Williams is pushing to dismiss the lawsuit from his Neptunes partner Chad Hugo, arguing that after three years and three versions of the complaint, Hugo still hasn’t clearly identified a copyright claim that belongs in federal court.

In a new filing obtained by Rolling Stone, Williams and his lawyers say Hugo named no specific songs in his original complaint, identifying only the album No One Ever Really Dies. An amended complaint later listed eight songs that were not on that album, but Hugo dropped all eight from a second amended complaint filed last month. The latest version of the lawsuit identifies only EarthGang’s “U Gotta,” but it doesn’t say whether Hugo is claiming rights in the musical composition, the sound recording, or both, the filing argues.

Why Do People Think Drake Is Keshia Chanté's Baby Daddy?

Yesterday, Hello! Canada published an interview and exclusive photoshoot with Canadian pop star Keshia Chanté, in which the singer revealed she is seven months pregnant. What overshadowed that news, however, is the fact that the 38 year-old artist refused to say who the father was, only confirming that he was also involved in music.

Short of giving us a name, Chanté said the person was ''super creative and just constantly doing things that I’m inspired by,” adding that she would “love to see my son have his mannerisms and his swag.”

Azealia Banks Has Moved To Israel

It's been a while since we had a new, unhinged update from everyone's favourite uncancelleable entertainer, Azealia Banks. After years of criticizing Israel, to the point where her comments have their own section on her Wikipedia page (which is a fascinating read), the 212 rapper has moved to Tel Aviv.

"If you would have told me years ago id end up moving to Tel Aviv and liking it, I would have said youre crazy 🤪🇮🇱," she shared on X on Tuesday, October 6. She has also said she is working on new music with Israeli producer Yinon Yahel and has found the country’s music scene unusually welcoming.
