Lainey Wilson Drops a Banger of a New Song With ‘Hang Tight Honey’

Lainey Wilson Drops a Banger of a New Song With ‘Hang Tight Honey’

Lainey Wilson tells her lover to chill out just a bit longer and she’ll be home soon in her barn-burning new song “Hang Tight Honey.”

With elements of her own autobiography, the song opens with Wilson recalling how she had a “bus ‘fore I got a house/cause that’s what dreams make you do.” In other words, she’s a road dog and, damn, if any relationship is going to keep her off the stage. But that doesn’t mean she’s not wishing for her fella: “While this six string calls my name/baby, I’ll be missing yours.”


“Hang Tight Honey” is the second track to be released from Wilson’s upcoming new album, Whirlwind. Announced last week, the record, out Aug. 23, was recorded with Wilson’s live band, and there’s a certain energy to the songs that only comes from touring together. (Check out the ripping solo that ties “Hang Tight Honey” together.)

Whirlwind, produced by Jay Joyce, is Wilson’s third for BBR Music Group and follows up her Grammy-winning Bell Bottom Country. Last week, the reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year also announced her own Nashville bar, Bell Bottoms Up, opening this summer. On Thursday, she’ll perform at the 2024 ACM Awards in Frisco, Texas, and also compete for Entertainer of the Year and Female Artist of the Year, among other categories.

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.”

"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.

Olivia Rodrigo Almost Wore Meg White’s ‘Elephant’ Album Cover Dress to Daisy Chain Fields

Olivia Rodrigo originally planned to hit the stage at her inaugural Daisy Chain Fields festival in August in an iconic floor-length, flowing white gown. The singer-songwriter had purchased the exact vintage Gunne Sax maxi dress Meg White wore on the cover of the White Stripes’ 2003 album Elephant, released the same year she was born. But the heat had other plans.

Looking at the forecast for Great Park in Irvine, California, Rodrigo realized it was “too fucking hot,” she told The Hollywood Reporter. “Maybe if I do Daisy Chain in the winter, I can wear it.”
