UK electronic music icon Burial has had a relatively unusual career. He released two well received albums (2006’s Burial and 2007’s Untrue) but hasn’t dropped a new LP since, instead preferring shorter releases and singles, typically sharing a new one about every year or two. Through it all, Burial has enjoyed a label relationship with Hyperdub, but earlier this month, it was rumored that Burial had signed with XL Recordings.
The rumors was accurate, it turns out: Today (January 18), XL announced that a new two-song single from Burial, featuring “Dreamfear” and “Boy Sent From Above,” is on the way. It’s set to drop on February 9, available both digitally and on vinyl. The vinyl is available to pre-order now, here.
Some lucky fans may have actually already heard the new songs: Per a press release, “Earlier this week, a limited edition run of 500 white label 12″s also appeared in select record stores around the world, available in store only.”
The closest thing to an album Burial has released since 2007 is a pair of compilations, Street Halo/Kindred in 2012 and Tunes 2011–2019 in 2019. In 2023, Burial and Kode9 released a split single together, and that followed the five-song Antidawn EP in 2022. Also that year, Burial and Four Tet teamed up on a pair of songs, “Nova” and “Moth.”
Jodie Foster stopped by The Tonight Show on Wednesday where the actress promoted her new role on True Detective: Night Country. However, Jimmy Fallon asked the veteran actress to confirm an old Hollywood legend: That she turned down the role of Princess Leia in Star Wars.
“I was, yeah,” Foster told Fallon. “They were going for a younger Princess Leia but I had a conflict. I was doing a Disney movie and I just didn’t want to pull out of the Disney movie because I was already under contract.”
Foster isn’t joking that George Lucas originally aimed for a much younger Leia before landing on Carrie Fisher, who became a screen legend thanks to her performance in the iconic role.
Casting Foster would have likely significantly changed the role. Foster would have been just 13 and 14 years old during the years the original Star Wars was filmed, and then 15 when the movie was released in 1977. The role was, of course, played by Carrie Fisher, who was 19 during filming.
“And they did an amazing job,” Foster continued. “I don’t know how good I would have been. I might have had different hair. I might have gone with a pineapple.”
Foster didn’t specify which Disney movie kept her from taking the Star Wars role, but it was most likely Freaky Friday, which hit theaters in 1976. Passing on Star Wars also gave Foster the chance to star in Taxi Driver, a film that also become a revered piece of cinematic history. The ’70s were neat.
But the most recent development officially solidifies Ice Spice as an A-lister.
Why Is Ice Spice Being Sued?
On Wednesday, January 17, TMZ reported that someone named D.Chamberz is suing Ice Spice for her “In Ha Mood” single, citing “copyright infringement” because he claims “he wrote, recorded and released a song called ‘In That Mood’ a year before her famous single.”
TMZ’s report continues, “According to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, D.Chamberz says he released his song on all major digital platforms in January 2022, and he thinks Ice Spice’s producer heard it on the radio way before her song came out. He claims Ice Spice’s song copies the beat, lyrics, hook, rhythmic structure, metrical placement, and narrative context of his track.”
D.Chamberz asserts that he performed his song “dozens of times” in New York City, “near where Ice and her producer, Riot, reside.” But D.Chamberz isn’t deterred if Ice Spice and Riot didn’t attend any of his performances because he also believes “it’s more than likely” that Riot would have heard his song on New York City’s Hot 97, “and he says there are social media receipts” to prove it.
Ice Spice released “In Ha Mood” in January 2023, and it peaked at No. 58 on the Hot 100 on the chart dated March 25, 2023.

Some of the artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
Donald Trump would never admit it, but he’s pretty old (Joe Biden is even older!). And when you’re getting up there in age, your body falls apart more easily. It’s why so many old folks have random bandages on their head, and why the former president was spotted with random red marks on his right hand this week. Trump hasn’t explained what happened, but one theory, from Democratic strategist James Carville, is that he has “secondary syphilis.”
“There’s a story [on the Drudge Report] that talks about Trump having hand-cuts, and you can link to it,” Carville said on the Politicon podcast, according to Mediaite. “They don’t look like cuts to me. They look like sores.” He continued, “I’ve asked a number of MDS what medical condition manifests itself through hand sores. And the answer is immediate and unanimous: Secondary syphilis. All right. I think there’s a good chance this man has the clap, and I’m not being particularly secretive about it.”
The Morning Joe crew had another, less extreme explanation. “There was a point in time during the day where Trump, very frustrated with Judge Kaplan, banged his hands down on the table,” MSNBC’s Lisa Rubin theorized. “I doubt that like that may never come from that. But could they be exacerbated by that, perhaps?”
“I don’t want to speculate.” What are the red marks on Donald Trump’s hand? Blood, sore, Magic Marker? Morning Joe speculates. (Video: MSNBC) pic.twitter.com/x3CA9MBbz6
The actual answer is probably something boring, like a rash. “Rashes on the hands can be caused by a variety of factors, ranging from infections to inflammatory conditions to external exposures,” Dr. Joshua Zeichner, an associate professor of dermatology at the Mount Sinai Hospital, told Business Insider. But it’s fun to speculate.

Last week, Lana Del Rey was announced as one of three Coachella 2024 headliners. As evidenced by Blackpink and Frank Ocean last year, headlining Coachella does not necessarily mean an artist is in album cycle, but Del Rey appears to be prepared to release something.
Late Wednesday night, January 17, Del Rey posted an unreleased song snippet to Instagram. “Henry, come on @lukerobert,” she captioned the Reel — tagging Luke Laird, who holds production and songwriting credits for Carrie Underwood, Kacey Musgraves, Thomas Rhett, and many other country artists.
The acoustic ballad showcases Del Rey’s fluid vocal delivery, as she sings, “I mean, Henry, come on / Do you / Think I’d really choose it? / All this off and on / Henry, come on / I mean, baby, come on / Do you / Think I’d really lose it on ya? / If you did nothing wrong / Henry, come on / Last call, hey, y’all / Hang his hat up on the wall / Tell him that his cowgirl is gone / Come on and giddy-up.”
It’s giving Ally and Jackson Maine vibes, which is, of course, the utmost compliment. Over on Reddit, people are bracing for what they feel is an inevitable country album from Del Rey.
Unrelated but semi-related because it also appeared on Del Rey’s Instagram Story: Del Rey either received a gift from Kim Kardashian or is collaborating with SKIMS, as she posted a photo of a SKIMS box alongside the message, “Warning: things are about to get crazy… For a long time.”
If Del Rey drops another album, it will follow March 2023’s Did You Know That There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, one of Uproxx’s “Best Albums Of 2023.” It’s nominated for Album Of The Year and Best Alternative Music Album at next month’s 2024 Grammys.
War is breaking out sooner than expected. Alex Garland‘s new film, Civil War, is now opening in theaters two weeks early. The A24 production centered on a modern-day skirmish on American soil will now arrive on April 12 instead of its original release date of April 26.
According to Deadline, there was an open slot on the theatrical calendar that had several advantages, most notably, not having to compete with Zendaya. Oh, and an IMAX release is probably helpful, too:
[Now] A24 will have access to Imax auditoriums on its new date. The movie starring Kirsten Dunst also moves away from a weekend that had the Amazon MGM Zendaya tennis dramedy, Challengers, and Lionsgate’s Unsung Hero.
As for the plot of the film, that’s being kept tightly under wraps. All we can tell from the trailer is that Nick Offerman’s President of the United States is somehow on his third term. This presumed abuse of power is most likely the catalyst for Texas and California joining forces, which sounds ridiculous in real life given the two states are polar opposites politically.
It’ll be interesting to see if Civil War can sell the idea of red states and blue states coming together to stop a tyrannical POTUS. Unless there’s something else happening in the Garland film that turns America into a warzone.
With the Super Bowl LVIII game just a few weeks away from taking place in Las Vegas, some of the other performers outside of Usher’s halftime show have been announced. Here’s what to expect.
Who Is Singing The National Anthem At Super Bowl LVIII?
Just before the game kicks off, country star Reba McEntire will perform the National Anthem this year. This will air as part of the pre-game show on Sunday, February 11.
According to Variety, McEntire’s National Anthem performance is being produced and arranged by musical director/producer Adam Blackstone.
Blackstone will also be guiding Andra Day, who will appear in the pre-game to perform “Lift Every Voice And Sing.” Post Malone is set to join the festivities, too. He will be covering “America The Beautiful.”
The pre-game and the Super Bowl will both feature American Sign Language performances. Coda actor Daniel Durant will sign the National Anthem. Actress Anjel Piñero will sign during Malone’s “America The Beautiful.” Actor/choreographer Shaheem Sanchez will sign for Day’s “Lift Every Voice And Sing,” as well as Usher’s Halftime Show.
Right now, not much is known about what viewers can expect from Usher’s takeover, other than he will treat everyone to his career-spanning hits.

Netflix has a handful of movies in contention for the Oscars this year, including May December, Maestro, and Society of the Snow. That last film, director J. A. Bayona’s survival drama about the 1972 Uruguayan airplane crash in the Andes, is one of fifteen titles to make the shortlist for Best International Feature at the 2024 Oscars. It’s also a huge hit for the streaming service.
“After just 11 days, Society of the Snow — J.A. Bayona’s epic survival story — has cracked the Most Popular Non-English Films List and spends its second week at #1 on the Non-English Films List with 28.1M views,” Netflix wrote on X. It’s currently at #10 on the non-English language films chart and should climb even higher: Variety reports, “Given its trawl compares to 91 day viewing figures for all other titles on the list, including last year’s multiple Oscar and BAFTA-winning German film All Quiet on the Western Front, it is sure to scale the Top 10 best ever chart in the near three months to come.”
Here’s the official plot synopsis:
In 1972, Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, which had been chartered to fly a rugby team to Chile, crashed in the heart of the Andes. Only 29 of its 45 passengers survived the accident. Trapped in one of the most hostile and inaccessible environments on the planet, they have to resort to extreme measures to stay alive.
The Super Bowl is one of the biggest events in sports, but it’s also routinely a major moment in pop culture: The Emmys recently shared a list of the 75 most impactful TV moments of all time, and making the list were Janet Jackson’s Halftime Show and Whitney Houston’s National Anthem. The big game’s entertainment legacy will continue with this year’s match-up on February 11, and now we know who’s involved on the music side of things.
As Variety reports, at Super Bowl LVIII, Reba McEntire will sing “The Star-Spangled Banner,” Post Malone will perform “America The Beautiful,” and Andra Day will sing “Lift Every Voice And Sing.” They all of course join Usher, who was previously announced as the halftime performer. Also worth noting is that all those performances will be accompanied by corresponding American Sign Language performances.
Malone has a busy year ahead of him beyond the Super Bowl, as he’s set to be all over the festival circuit this summer: He’s performing at Bonnaroo, Governors Ball, Rolling Loud California, and even Stagecoach. Speaking of country music, McEntire is set to return to her role as a coach on the upcoming season of The Voice. As for Day, she’s starring in the upcoming movie The Deliverance.
