More New NSYNC Music Could Actually Be On The Way, Justin Timberlake Hints In An Interview

So far, Justin Timberlake has sought out to do everything he teased in 2023. Prior to his appearance on SNL, Timberlake debuted the lead single “Selfish” off his forthcoming album, Everything I Thought It Was. Timberlake then unveiled the dates for his supporting The Forget Tomorrow World Tour. Even with so much to look forward to from Timberlake, fans were still curious about the likelihood of a proper NSYNC reunion.

Today (January 30), during an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Timberlake added more fuel to the fire. When asked about the group coming back together for the Trolls Band Together soundtrack song, “Better Place,” he hinted that more could come.

“That was fun,” he said. “It’s kind of crazy — there’s so much that picks up right where it left off as far as chemistry. We’ve been in the studio. So there may be a little something in the future.”

With a project of his own slated to drop in March and a tour kicking off in April, Timberlake has been quite the busy man. The fact that he found the time to reconnect with his NSYNC member is commendable, whether or not it manifests this year.

Watch the full clip above.

Everything I Thought It Was is out 3/15 via RCA Records. Find more information here.

A ‘Star Trek’ Movie With Michelle Yeoh And Sam Richardson Is Coming To Paramount+

Paramount+ is already the home of multiple (very good) Star Trek shows, including Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Star Trek: Lower Decks, and Star Trek: Picard. The streaming service will soon add an original movie to the roster.

Star Trek: Section 31 stars Michelle Yeoh as Philippa Georgiou, the character she portrayed in Star Trek: Discovery. According to the film’s official plot description, Georgiou will be “tasked with protecting the United Federation of Planets,” while also facing “the sins of her past.” And she’ll do it without breaking the Prime Directive, like Kirk in every episode of the original Star Trek.

“And we’re off to the races! Thrilled to report principal photography has started on Star Trek: Section 31,” executive producer Alex Kurtzman said in a statement to announce the beginning of production, according to Variety. “We welcome our incredible cast of new characters as they join our beloved Michelle Yeoh on her next wild adventure across the Trek universe.”

The Star Trek: Section 31 (Section 31 is an oft-mentioned organization in the Trek verse) cast also includes Omari Hardwick, Kacey Rohl, Sven Ruygrok, Robert Kazinsky, Humberly Gonzalez, James Hiroyuki Liao, and Detroiters legend Sam Richardson, who should be in everything.

Star Trek: Section 31 will premiere on Paramount+, but does not currently have a release date.

Grammy-Nominated Producer Deputy Wants To Evolve The R&B Landscape

The landscape of R&B is changing, but producer Jamil Pierce, better known as Deputy, has his finger on the pulse. With credits on tracks by Mikhala Jené, Rihanna, and Ari Lennox, the prolific artist has helped craft a multitude of alternative R&B and melodic hip-hop hits.

This year, Deputy is nominated for two Grammys — Record Of The Year and Best R&B Song, for his work on Victoria Monét’s “On My Mama.” As his resume holds, Deputy has become a go-to collaborator for women in R&B.

Deputy’s love of music traces back to his childhood in Brooklyn, where his days were spent inside his grandmother’s and great-grandmother’s homes, soundtracked by soap operas, and “easy listening” radio stations. Some of his favorites included Stevie Wonder, Luther Vandross, The BeeGees, Phil Collins, Cyndi Lauper, and Madonna.

“I didn’t know half of what they were talking about at the time,” says Deputy. “But the melodies were pretty cool. As a kid, it just developed this love for music.”

As a young talent with an old soul, Deputy always sought to create songs with which, he could form an emotional connection. Having worked on the business side and the creative side of the industry, Deputy has covered his bases, but still has visions for the future of music.

We catch up with Deputy shortly before the Grammys to discuss the current realm of music, and how one of the biggest hits of the past year came together.

One of your first experiences in the industry was working as an intern at JIVE Records. What would you say is the most important thing you’ve learned while working on the business side?

Hits keep the lights on. I say that because I was able to see the artists, at that time, come to the office and see how the energy of everyone who worked there changed. Once those artists came into the office, I just noticed everyone’s energy was different. “Oh, Justin Timberlake is here” or “Oh, Britney Spears is here.” Just seeing that made me realize hits make the building move.

You signed to Roc Nation in 2009 as a producer. What made you want to realign your focus from the business side to the creative side?

I did my internship at Jive Records because it was my way to get into the industry. My goal was always to be a music producer. I didn’t know anyone in the industry to get my feet in the door. Once I quit my job at Morgan Stanley and I found that internship, it was just my point of entry into the industry. The purpose is always to be a music producer.

Having worked with Ari Lennox, Rihanna, and Victoria Monét, how do you feel about the current landscape of R&B?

A lot of my R&B songs are with women, but having a balance with a male presence would be fire to just, add something new. I think for me, I would like to inject something new. A new sound, something that’s disruptive and urgent. I love what we’ve done with the genre so far. And I think that we’re at a space right now, where we can add something else to elevate something different.

I get what you’re saying. You don’t necessarily imagine a male-dominated landscape, but you want to bring back that era of the male singers crying in the desert, like in the ‘90s

Yes. 100%. Like, there were a lot of men who showed vulnerability. They showed vulnerability within the music. People wanted things. No one wants anything anymore. Back then, people cried for things, like, “I cry for you. I’ll give you the stars, and moon, and whatever.”

How did you first connect with Victoria Monét?

I first met her a few years ago at a random studio session. I was like, ‘Hey, what’s up? I’m Dep” A few years after that, her manager reached out to me for a session. It was somewhat of a random reach out because I didn’t really know her manager like that. Our very first session was for [the title track to Monét’s 2020 EP] Jaguar, which sparked the whole Jaguar era. But yeah, it was just basically her manager reaching out, saying, “Hey, would you like to do a session with Victoria?” Knowing who she is, and how crazy her pen is, I definitely said “Yeah, let’s do it.” That one reach-out turned into this amazing moment four years later.

Part of the catchiness of “On My Mama” is that Chalie Boy sample. And me, being from Dallas, the original song, “I Look Good,” was always in rotation. So I’ve gotta ask, how did you end up using this sample?

Victoria was writing her verses, and as she’s writing, I’m in my head too. At this point, the beat is the beat is done and it’s just really left for her to do the writing. So, I’m just there chilling, while she writes and she starts singing the verse, so in my mind, I’m like, “Oh my god, this is crazy.” At the same time, I’m hearing “On my mama, on my hood.” Then I’m like, “Yo, Vic, it would be dope if we use [the sample]. I could see her looking at me, and I’m like “We need to do this.” Her genius after that was pretty much just taking the song and interpolating it into her own way. But it really just came off of me just vibing with the track while Victoria was writing.

What was your reaction when you learned the song was nominated for two Grammys?

The day the nominations came out, I was still sleeping. My phone was blowing up, and I didn’t understand why my phone was blowing up. And bro, I was really tired, and I was ignoring the calls. So when I finally realized why everyone kept calling me, it was definitely a surprising moment. I felt extremely grateful. I felt excited. I felt acknowledged. Not only for me, but for Victoria herself, just understanding her journey as a songwriter and as an artist. Seeing her get her flowers was an acknowledgment that she deserved. I didn’t even know the nominations were happening that morning, but it was a grateful feeling for sure.

What do you think is the biggest issue artists are facing today?

Social media, I think, on several levels. Some artists are extremely talented, but they’re not social media savvy. And we’re now in a climate where your personality and your activity on social media precedes everything that you do with your music. So now. you’re known for your antics, you’re known for your colorful personality outside of the music. And some artists that are really talented, they don’t have that other side of the brain working for them where they can do both. So I feel like some artists don’t get a chance to benefit from being amazing artists that the world knows because they don’t really have the personality or they haven’t yet figured out how to be social media savvy.

On the flip side of that, I feel like the artists that are social media savvy, I feel like some of them might lean too much on social media, in terms of the engagement that they get, and may not realize that sometimes that’s not enough. When it’s time to go on tour, your tickets might not be selling as much as you thought, because your social media tells you one thing, but when it’s time to sell tickets, it’s a whole different story. I think social media in some ways affects the artists and if an artist is able to do both, then great. But it can be misleading and it can be a tool. You just have to understand the different pitfalls that come with that.

“On My Mama” has proven to be a viral hit, in both its audio and its visual form. Which avenue do you think is the most valuable for artist? Spotify? YouTube? TikTok? Or something else?

A lot of songs are discovered through TikTok. And it’s crazy, because your song could come out today, and somehow, someway, somebody does something funny a year from now, or two years from now, with that same song, and a challenge or whatever the cool thing is at that point. TikTok can allow you to have a resurgence, even if the song came out two years ago. So I feel like TikTok is probably one of the platforms that allow a lot of discovery to happen for artists and their songs.

What are you most looking forward to with Grammy season?

As of right now, it’s a lot of anxiety — a lot of great anxiety. But I mean, I’m just looking forward to just being in a space with peers that I look up to, and peers that are my friends. And just enjoying the moment with them. And being acknowledged for all the hard work and all of the years that I’ve put into my craft and getting to this level. To be a part of such a prestigious award, like Record Of The Year, just getting that acknowledgment, I want to live in that moment, and I want to enjoy it, and I want to be present.

When Did Nicki Minaj First Call Megan Thee Stallion ‘Big Foot?’

This past week has been a chaotic one in the rap and pop culture world. For those who might have missed it, Megan Thee Stallion dropped her new single, “Hiss,” where she called out a bunch of other rappers. One line in particular, which had a reference to “Megan’s Law,” sparked a feud with Nicki Minaj.

Over the weekend, Minaj posted about Megan, calling her out repeatedly for the lyric. She also fired back with her own track, titled “Big Foot,” as she had been calling Megan that — due to both her tall height and the Tory Lanez shooting incident.

When Did Nicki Minaj First Call Megan Thee Stallion “Big Foot?”

Although Nicki Minaj calling Megan Thee Stallion “big foot” gained traction this weekend and through her song, one Twitter user pointed out that she had been calling her that for quite a while. The user directed to a tweet that Uproxx cover star Latto made back in 2022, where she had shared DM’s between herself and Minaj during an argument.

In one of Minaj’s replies, she wrote, “I could say the same thing. But would you or big foot care? No,” seemingly referencing Megan in the comment.

Check out Latto’s 2022 tweet about Minaj below.

Megan Thee Stallion is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Kai Cenat Pranked 21 Savage With A Couple Of Snakes During The Streamer’s Hilarious Livestream

Young Thug’s YSL RICO trial has forced Georgia authority to rummage through the “Slime Sh*t” rapper’s past lyrics with a fine-tooth comb. Several of hip-hop’s head honchos have spoken out against the demonization of rap as an art form. Others like Fat Joe have even taken it as far as to claim that most rappers are embellishing or flat-out lying in their songs.

On January 29, during Kai Cenat’s Twitch livestream, 21 Savage showed that there’s undoubtedly some truth to those statements. In 21 Savage’s music, he’s a gritty Atlanta good ready for anything. But when the “N.H.I.E.” rapper was face-to-face with a few snakes, 21 Savage hilariously changed his tough guy tune. Following a game of “What’s In The Box,” Cenat decided to take things up a notch, bringing out a pair of snakes. This immediately sent 21 Savage running for the hills as the streamer’s live chat flooded the comment section with laughing emojis.

But 21 Savage got his revenge before the stream ended when the duo sat down for a game of Madden. After making a friendly wager of $300,000, 21 Savage came out victorious, which sent the otherwise sweet-hearted Cenat into a spiral.

All The Best New Indie Music From This Week

Best New Indie

Indie music has grown to include so much. It’s not just music that is released on independent labels, but speaks to an aesthetic that deviates from the norm and follows its own weirdo heart. It can come in the form of rock music, pop, or folk. In a sense, it says as much about the people that are drawn to it as it does about the people that make it.

Every week, Uproxx is rounding up the best new indie music from the past seven days. This week, we got new music from The Smile, Katy Kirby, Militarie Gun, and more.

Katy Kirby – Blue Raspberry

There’s a lot of indie music out there that sounds like Katy Kirby. But rarely do people do it as well as Kirby herself. 2021’s Cool Dry Place was a quiet, meditative record whose marvelous subtleties landed like gut punches. Newly signed to Anti- Records, the Texas-born, Nashville-based indie-folk songwriter has a lot more attention on her, and for good reason. Her new album, Blue Raspberry, is a masterful exercise in restraint, one in which the most memorable moments come from its quietude. There’s the gentle finger-picking and strings in “Party Of The Century;” the tender brush-drumming on “Alexandria;” and the swooning, orchestral embellishments of “Salt Crystal.” Blue raspberry may be an artificial flavor, but there’s nothing artificial about Kirby’s record.

The Smile – Wall Of Eyes

Within the span of less than two years, we’ve gotten two new records from The Smile, the Radiohead side project that features frontman Thom Yorke, guitarist and ad hoc everyman Jonny Greenwood, and former Sons Of Kemet drummer Tom Skinner. It’s easily the most prolific Yorke and Greenwood have been as a unit in years, and, frankly, it doesn’t bode well for the prospect of a new Radiohead album. But it’s hard to complain when the music is this transfixing, ornate, and outright gorgeous, as is the case with Wall Of Eyes. Whether it’s the amorphous ambiance and muted percussion of “Teleharmonic” or the uneasy, crackling guitars of “Read The Room,” The Smile makes a compelling case as something greater than a Radiohead side project. They’re simply one of the greatest new art-rock bands around.

Joe Wong – “What Have You Done”

Los Angeles composer Joe Wong is back with his sophomore album, Mere Survival, in just a few days. Meanwhile, Wong has given us one more taste before it officially drops. “What Have You Done,” like much of his work, teems with orchestral flourishes and psychedelic production, courtesy of guitarist Mary Timony. From the swelling strings in the intro to the slapback echo that colors his vocals in the chorus, Wong’s latest tune is a kaleidoscopic reverie.

Fanclubwallet – “Band Like That”

The irony of naming a song “Band Like That” isn’t lost on Hannah Judge, the Ottawa musician who originally started Fanclubwallet as a bedroom-pop project. That one-person endeavor has now transformed into a proper, full-fledged four-piece. As the lead single for their forthcoming EP, Our Bodies Paint Traffic Lines, “Band Like That” appropriately lives up to its name. It’s the sound of a group of musicians playing in a room together, as Judge’s songwriting takes on a new life that feels more fully fleshed out than ever before. This band has made a great song about starting a band.

Shannon & The Clams – “The Moon Is In The Wrong Place”

Weeks before Shannon Shaw’s wedding, her fiancé, Joe Haener, died in a car accident. Understandably, it completely upended her life and her bandmates’ lives, too, as they were all close with Haener. Shannon & The Clams’ forthcoming album, The Moon Is In The Wrong Place, traverses the tragedy, loss, and grief that arose from that moment. On the title track, the garage-rock group, with production from de facto member Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, trudges through the calamity together, underlining friendship’s importance in times of distress.

Liquid Mike – “American Caveman”

Power-pop-punk perfectly sums up what Liquid Mike is all about. The Marquette, Michigan outfit sneaks jangly earworms into riffs slathered in distortion. Imagine if Mark Hoppus fronted a DIY band, and you’d get some semblance of Liquid Mike. As last year’s S/T showed, this band has got hooks on hooks, and they’re nowhere close to running out of said hooks. Paul Bunyan’s Slingshot, their soon-to-be-released fifth album, is chock-full of them. Take “American Caveman,” whose harmonica melodies foreshadow frontman Mike Maple’s vocal melodies in the verse. It’s all so catchy that you won’t even notice it’s in the same time signature as countless Rush songs.

Future Islands – People Who Aren’t There Anymore

It’s hard to believe that Future Islands’ legendary Letterman performance is officially a decade old now. The new-wave revivalists took the late-night stage just a couple of months before their breakthrough album, Singles, introduced them to a significantly wider audience. People Who Aren’t There Anymore, which sees them reunite with mixing engineer Chris Coady for the first time since Singles, boasts some of the band’s catchiest music since that breakthrough moment. It captures the band’s freewheeling energy and frontman Samuel T. Herring’s gripping charisma, from the propulsive, dancey “Say Goodbye” to the powerful, wistful ballad “The Fight.”

Militarie Gun – Life Under The Sun

Life Under The Gun was a fitting title for last year’s Militarie Gun album. It blazed by in a brisk 27 minutes, Ian Shelton’s gravelly delivery acting as a lodestar for both his own career and hardcore as a whole. On Life Under The Sun, the LA band’s new EP, four songs (and a NOFX cover) from that record gain new life and context. Absent are Shelton’s howling vocals, replaced by contemplative crooning from himself and peers like Manchester Orchestra, Bully, and Mannequin Pussy. For a band so heavily linked to the contemporary state of hardcore, Militarie Gun displays a gift for a different kind of command: one where quiet, peaceful instrumentation is just as effective as Shelton’s signature OOH! OOHs!

Hurray For The Riff Raff – “Colossus Of Roads”

“Colossus Of Roads” practically spilled out of Alynda Segarra’s pen. Composed right after the tragic Club Q shooting in Colorado Springs in 2022, Segarra’s new single is an urgent yet measured missive, a call to arms for the queer community and against the hegemonic powers that try to stifle it. “Say goodbye to America / I wanna see it dissolve,” Segarra sings, their winsome melodies contrasting the monstrous imagery of gunfire. It’s easy to understand why it’s their favorite song they’ve written to date.

Finnoguns Wake – Stay Young

Finnoguns Wake, like the best punk bands, was born from sheer circumstances and kindred spirits. After Tim “Shogun” Wall’s best friend moved overseas, he got in touch with that friend’s brother, Finn Berzin. The duo hit it off immediately, and that camaraderie is apparent throughout the four tracks on Stay Young, their debut EP. Like if Oasis were actually a punk band and enjoyed each other’s company, Finnoguns Wake makes music that transcends scenes; Shogun played in groups like Royal Headache and Shogun And The Sheets, and Berzin had recently purchased a guitar when the pair started making music together. From the Britpop crunch of closing track “Strawberry Avalanche” to the talk-sing cadences of “So Nice,” Finnoguns Wake make their influences their own. Despite its creators’ distance in age and origins, Stay Young sounds like the creation of two close, inseparable friends.

Hurray For The Riff Raff is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Celine Dion Announced A New Amazon Prime Documentary That Details Her Battle With Stiff-Person Syndrome

Celine Dion is set to release a new documentary, titled I Am: Celine Dion, which will focus on her career and her battle with stiff-person syndrome. Directed by Irene Taylor, the film will take viewers through a year in Dion’s life, with footage taken in the recording studio and her home, according to Rolling Stone.

“This last couple of years has been such a challenge for me: the journey from discovering my condition to learning how to live with and manage it, but not to let it define me,” Dion said in a statement. “As the road to resuming my performing career continues, I have realized how much I have missed it, being able to see my fans. During this absence, I decided I wanted to document this part of my life, to try to raise awareness of this little-known condition, to help others who share this diagnosis.”

As the publication notes, Dion was slated to perform in both Las Vegas and the remainder of her Courage World Tour in 2022. However, the singer soon started facing muscle spasms that prompted all show cancellations. That December, she revealed her official diagnosis.

Dion’s documentary will be released on Amazon Prime, but there is no set date for it yet.

Just days after Megan Thee Stallion made headlines with her “Hiss” disses, the Houston rapper is once again dominating the conversation this morning — but for an entirely different reason. It was teased hours earlier that she would be stopping by Good Morning America to make a special announcement.

Now, fans know what Megan has planned for the rest of this year.

Is Megan Thee Stallion Going On Tour In 2024?

Megan Thee Stallion announced on GMA that she will be heading out on tour, which will kick off in the summer. It will be in support of an upcoming new album.

“Oh, we’re having the tour this year,” Megan said. “The Hot Girl Summer Tour is going to be 2024, summertime. I feel like I’ve never been able to be outside doing my own thing during the summer, since like 2019. So this is going to be the first time that I drop an album on time for the summer. I do want to give the hotties the Megan Thee Stallion experience.”

Over the past few years, she has made appearances at mostly festivals or one-off shows, so it will be a truly special return. Right now, not much else is known about the exact dates or stops that Meg will be making on the tour — but hopefully the Hotties get to find out soon.

Megan Thee Stallion is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Bryan Cranston Filmed A Life-Threatening Stunt Nearly Gone Wrong In… ‘Malcolm In The Middle?’

Bryan Cranston Malcolm in the Middle
Fox

Bryan Cranston spent years filming in the New Mexico desert as meth kingpin Walter White in Breaking Bad. However, his most dangerous acting moment occurred in the family-friendly sitcom, Malcolm in the Middle.

While promoting Argylle with an appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Cranston revealed that a scene involving his bumbling dad, Hal, almost took him out of the game.

“One time, I did a thing where my character was in a depression, and he started painting, and I was completely covered in blue paint,” Cranston said. “Completely, head to toe, in blue paint.”

Now, if you know anything about paint and/or how the human body works, then you know where this story is headed. In fact, Cranston’s Argylle co-star Bryce Dallas Howard quickly noted, “That’s not safe,” and she was very right.

Via Entertainment Weekly:

“It’s not safe,” Cranston agreed, “because your body can’t regulate the heat if you’re covering up all your pores.”

Things then took a dangerous turn during filming. “As you shoot, you’re moving around, and then there was a part of me, at one point, I was like starting to shut down the circuits,” Cranston explained, miming being woozy. “And they went boom, and they grabbed me, and they threw me in the shower and they just… It was weird.”

Fortunately, Cranston survived the ordeal, but it is pretty funny that his most dangerous job to date was playing a sitcom dad on Fox. It just goes to show that parenting can kill you dead even if you’re just pretending.

Argylle opens in theaters on February 2.
