Eminem Defends New Collaboration With ‘Old Friend’ Kid Rock: ‘Not About Choosing Sides’

Eminem defended his guest verse on Kid Rock’s new faith-based album, saying their long friendship overshadowed their political divide.

Rock released his new LP Halfway 2 Jesus on Friday, with Slim Shady — a fellow Detroit native and longtime friend of the rocker — appearing on the track “Heal My Faith.”

Inside Madonna’s ‘Confessions II’: Producer Stuart Price Goes Deep on One of the Year’s Best Albums

Madonna was as ambitious as she’s ever been in the studio sessions for July 3’s Confessions II, which is saying a lot. For the sequel to 2005’s Confessions on a Dance Floor, she reunited with that album’s producer, Stuart Price, and crafted a relentless DJ set of an album that also includes some of her most emotionally bare songs: a duet with her daughter Lola (“The Test”) and wrenching songs about her late stepmother (“Betrayal”) and her late brother, Christopher Ciccone (“Fragile”). She brings her full pop firepower, too, on songs from the Sabrina Carpenter duet “Bring Your Love” to the Eighties reminiscence of “Danceteria.” It all helped win Madonna Artist of the Year at this year’s VMAs, where she opened the show with a guest-star-packed performance, her first on the awards show in 23 years.

Sophia Stel’s Pop Ambitions Are Stronger Than Her Nerves

It’s a seasonally ambivalent day at Brooklyn’s Herbert Von King Park, and Vancouver-based singer and producer Sophia Stel is in need of a lighter. She’s smoking Canadian cigarettes, which, as I hand her a light blue Bic, she describes as “more polite,” taking after her fellow citizens’ pleasant disposition. She’s in town doing press ahead of her album release party this week. The record in question is called the greatest album of all time, and it feels like watching a shy kid blossom in front of a talent show crowd.

Stel first came onto the scene in 2024 with her debut EP, Object Permanence, though she says she’s made music since she was seven. For years, she psyched herself out of sharing what she was making. “It’s just so lame to be so afraid of what people think that you make all this music for years and never release it because you’re scared it’s not perfect or something,” she says. Releasing those first songs helped put the stakes in perspective: “If you drop a shitty EP, you’re going to be OK.”

Miley Cyrus Responds to Criticism of Hollywood Bowl Show: ‘I Am Fully Present’

Miley Cyrus addressed the criticism of her comeback show at the Hollywood Bowl on Friday night, calling out “clickbait” videos that accused her of not fully investing herself in the performance because she didn’t sing every word of the songs.

“I’ve never heard that I don’t put my heart into something,” she told the audience at her second Bowl concert on Sunday night. “I don’t know if any of you heard that,” she said of the criticism. “That somebody was doing commentary to get clickbait on their video talking about my show on Friday night, but I’m a lot of things and we’re not even going to entertain that.”

Review: Starlight Festival's Egyptian Debut Was Every Bit as Good as It Looked

There are few things that can prepare you for the sight of thousands of people dancing to electronic music with the Great Pyramids of Giza towering in the distance. Even fewer can prepare you for the production accompanying it. Over two nights in Egypt, I watched Starlight Festival unfold from practically every possible vantage point, from behind the decks and the thick of the general admission crowd to the VIP viewing stands and lounges. Each offered a different perspective, and remarkably, every single one was stellar. For a festival making its debut in one of the world's most extraordinary locations, that consistency was perhaps its greatest achievement.
