Gunna Leads A Luxury Caravan In His Flamboyant ‘Just Say Dat’ Video

With the lyrics of Gunna‘s The Last Wun track “Just Say Dat” focusing on “the driver that go with the Maybach,” it’s only right that the song’s new music video features a small fleet of the luxury cars rolling through his old neighborhood in Atlanta. The video opens with comedians Desi Banks and Reggie Conquest arguing in front of a Food Mart, when Gunna’s motorcase cruises by, leaving them awestruck, and expressing their desire to join in.

The rest of the video sees Gunna and the Maybachs circling in an Atlanta neighborhood, passing the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and taking over the Food Mart parking lot. Gunna also goes for a solo ride with his longtime friend and producer Turbo, riding along the coast and smoking cigars.

“Just Say Dat” is the latest release from Gunna’s album, The Last Wun, following hype singles “Him All Along,” “Got Damn,” and “Won’t Stop.” The trap rap mainstay dropped the album almost by surprise, announcing its release date just days before it arrived on DSPs. Prior to its release, fans speculated that it’s his last album for YSL Records, which means his next moves will be the most important ones of his career.

Watch Gunna’s “Just Say Dat” video above.

The Last Wun is out now via Young Stoner Life Records / 300 Entertainment. You can find more info here.

‘Eden’: Everything To Know About Ron Howard’s New Movie With Sydney Sweeney, Jude Law, And More

Eden
Vertical

Even if you count just the roles of Opie Taylor in The Andy Griffith Show, Richie Cunningham in Happy Days, and the narrator in Arrested Development, Ron Howard has had an astounding career in the entertainment industry. That’s only a fraction of the story, of course, as over the past few decades, he’s become better known as an award-winning director.

His latest effort on that front is Eden, which fans have been waiting for since its Toronto International Film Festival debut nearly a year ago. It’s a wild one, even more so considering that it’s based on a true story, of an eclectic group of misfits who attempt to live very, very off the grid.

Ahead of the film’s release, keep reading for everything you need to know before it hits theaters.

Plot

The official logline reads, “Director Ron Howard’s Eden unravels the shocking true story of a group of disillusioned outsiders who abandon civilization, settling on a remote, uninhabited island only to discover that the greatest threat isn’t the brutal climate or deadly wildlife, but each other. As tensions spiral and desperation takes hold, a twisted power struggle unfolds, leading to betrayal, violence, and the deaths of half the colony.”

Howard previously told Deadline of the movie:

“Starting out a while ago with Apollo 13, I’ve been gravitating toward these kinds of stories based on real events. Where characters are really pressure tested and it reveals a lot about them. I think one of the reasons people find this one a little surprising is that here, the characters are so layered and complex, that the choices they made that we play out in the film are intense and shocking. They’re utterly human. It is a lot of fun to follow the events as the conflict unfolds.

It is a thriller, and part of that suspense is wondering who’s going to survive and why. This true story was so full of that. It is based on two wildly different accounts of the same unsolved mystery. As you delve into it, it certainly falls into that category of stranger than fiction.”

Cast

Eden is led by Jude Law, Ana de Armas, Vanessa Kirby, Sydney Sweeney, Daniel Brühl, Felix Kammerer, Toby Wallace, and Richard Roxburgh.

Sweeney previously told The Wrap of the film’s characters, “You read all these crazy characters, there’s no way that they all are real, and they all come together and they have all these experiences. But then I went and I read Dora [Strauch’s] book, and I read Margret [Wittmer’s] book, and I found all the newspaper clippings of all their stories, and it’s the most wild account of people just put together.”

Release Date

The film is set to hit theaters on August 22.

All The Best New Music From This Week That You Need To Hear

Keeping up with new music can be exhausting, even impossible. From the weekly album releases to standalone singles dropping on a daily basis, the amount of music is so vast it’s easy for something to slip through the cracks. Even following along with the Uproxx recommendations on a daily basis can be a lot to ask, so every Monday we’re offering up this rundown of the best new music this week.

This week saw Gunna drop a huge new album and Ed Sheeran reunite with an old friend. Yeah, it was a great week for new music. Check out the highlights below.

For more music recommendations, check out our Listen To This section, as well as our Indie Mixtape newsletter.

Gunna — “At My Purest” Feat. Offset

A few days ago, Uproxx Visionaries cover star Gunna revealed that his new album, The Last Wun, would be arriving quickly, last Friday. Among the highlights is the atmospheric Offset collab “At My Purest.”

Ed Sheeran — “A Little More”

Ed Sheeran and Rupert Grint have a long-running lookalike situation going on, and they’ve both addressed it before. They revived the narrative once again last week with the new video for Sheeran’s “A Little More,” a narrative follow-up to their “Lego House” video from 2011.

Zach Bryan — “Bowery” Feat. Kings Of Leon

Bryan brought a big shot of Oklahoma to New Music Friday last week. He teamed up with Kings Of Leon, after performing with them earlier this year, on the twangy rocker “Bowery,” a collab that Bryan called the “honor of my life.”

Laufey — “Snow White”

For her gorgeous new song about “the never-ending chase for perfection that comes with being a woman” (in her words), Laufey headed to her native Iceland to film an equally lovely video (directed by Junia Lin, Laufey’s twin sister and creative director).

Ethel Cain — “Dust Bowl”

Cain’s new album Willoughby Tucker, I’ll Always Love You isn’t a casual listen, with just one track under five minutes in length. Tracks like the Duster-sampling “Dust Bowl” show that giving the project your full attention isn’t time wasted, though.

JID — “Community” Feat. Clipse

Given how well that new Clipse album did, it’s not a bad time to have them in your corner. JID does on his new album God Does Like Ugly, along with Vince Staples and Westside Gunn.

Big Thief — “Los Angeles”

About a month out from the release of Double Infinity, Big Thief went ahead and released a double single last week. “Los Angeles” explores change through the lens of LA and “Grandmother” tackles aging with help from Laraaji.

BigXthaPlug — “Hell At Night” Feat. Ella Langley

BigXthaPlug has called on a cavalcade of country singers to give his singles a boost and the latest is Ella Langley. She co-stars on “Hell At Night,” which sees BigX firmly and enthusiastically holding a grudge against a former lover.

Bailey Zimmerman — “Lost” Feat. The Kid Laroi

Zimmerman has been one of country’s biggest rising stars since the release of his 2023 debut album Religiously. The Album. The follow-up, Different Night Same Rodeo, is out now, and he has stars on his side, everybody from Diplo to The Kid Laroi.

Amaarae — “Fineshyt”

Amaarae’s new album Black Star is here and the project sees the Ghanaian-American singer honoring her cultural heritage. She does so on songs like “Fineshyt” by blending African and dance influences.

Gorillaz have been on a roll over the past decade, releasing four albums, the latest being 2023’s Cracker Island. Damon Albarn indicated recently that a new Gorillaz album is coming this year, and we might get some tastes of it soon, it appears.

In a recent Channel 4 interview with Albarn and Jamie Hewlett (as Mixmag notes), they were asked about their upcoming residency and Albarn said, “We’re playing the first album, second album, and third album, then the fourth one is a mystery.” When asked if the fourth show would include new music, Albarn said, “There might. I mean, yes, in that sense, yeah.”

The mystery show is set for September 3, so in a few weeks, concert clips of fresh songs could start hitting social media. The other shows include the band playing Gorillaz on Friday, August 29, Demon Days on Saturday, August 30; and Plastic Beach on Tuesday, September 2.

In a recent interview with French publication Les Inrockuptibles, Damon Albarn said, “I’m finishing a new Gorillaz album. One opera and one new Gorillaz album seems like enough for 2025! Unless someone accuses me of taking my foot off the gas!” Additionally, Hewlett reportedly told a Gorillaz fan account on Instagram, “Yes, the new album is coming out this year.”

Chance The Rapper is just days away from releasing his long-awaited comeback album, Star Line, and now, he’s announced the dates for the accompanying road show. The And We Back Tour will hit 15 cities from late September to mid-October, with stops in Houston, Atlanta, Toronto, New York, Los Angeles, and of course, his native Chicago.

Chance’s last tour would have been for his “debut album,” The Big Day, but was delayed so he could spend time with his family and ultimately canceled due to both pandemic shutdowns and the lukewarm reception to that album. Since then, he’s hosted a handful of shows celebrating the tenth anniversary of his breakout mixtape Acid Rap, but otherwise mainly focused on putting out Star Line singles as he finished up the album.

He also held a series of Star Line Gallery art shows, displaying his personal favorite artists’ works while playing fans the album. The last listening experience before the album rollout began in earnest was at Art Basel in Miami last year, and now, fans around the country will finally hear what he’s been cooking up — and get to experience it live.

You can see below for the tour dates. Tickets go on sale Friday, August 15 (the same day Star Line drops), with presales this Tuesday, August 12. You can find more info on that at chancestuff.com

Florence Welch Screams At A Hole In The Ground To Seemingly Tease Something From Florence + The Machine

Florence And The Machine Welch 2019

We got a touch of new Florence + The Machine last year, when the group was featured on “Florida!!!” from Taylor Swift’s album The Tortured Poets Department. The band’s latest proper album, though, is 2022’s Dance Fever. Now it looks like that might be changing soon, as a teaser video shared this morning (August 11) may indicate.

The clip shows Florence Welch on her hands and knees in an overgrown field, wearing a red dress and digging away at a spot in the ground. The video then cuts to a hole-POV shot of Welch looking into it before she repeatedly and intensely screams.

On a perhaps-relevant note, in a 2022 interview with British Vogue, Welch said, “I feel like as a female artist, you spend a lot of time screaming into the void for people to take you seriously, in a way that male artists just don’t have to do. [I was] so tired of trying to prove myself to people who are never going to get it.”

In a more recent British Vogue chat, she said of her Swift collab, “I almost didn’t think of the scale of it. There’s the sort of bigness of [Taylor Swift the phenomenon], and then there’s the Taylor I spend time with in the studio, who is just the sweetest and most down to earth. […] We had such a fun time. And then when it came out I was like, ‘Oh, sh*t!’”

The Best Music Festivals Still To Come In 2025

Music Festival Preview 2025

The Uproxx Music Festival And Tour Preview series is sponsored by Priceline, where music fans can find deals on flights, hotels, and more.

Festival season is in full swing. With two of America’s behemoths, Coachella and Lollapalooza, in the rearview mirror, it’s time to examine the best of what’s left on the 2025 festival calendar. There are plenty of excellent, uniquely tailored fests left that cater to music fans with a variety of tastes to fill out the rest of your summer and early autumn. We here at Uproxx sifted through the noise to give the best of what’s left.

Shaky Knees Festival

Where: Piedmont Park, Atlanta, GA
When: Sept. 19-21

Since its 2013 inception, Shaky Knees has grown into one of the country’s preeminent rock festivals. This year is no exception. Taking place in Piedmont Park in Midtown, the festival’s footprint is perfect for music fans to hop from stage to stage seamlessly, nursing a Sweetwater while relaxing under a Magnolia tree. The powerhouse lineups include My Chemical Romance’s only American festival headlining date, and a blend of young and old with IDLES, Spoon, the Marias, Lenny Kravitz, Pixies, the Backseat Lovers, rising Third Man-approved garage rockers Die Spitz, Johnny Marr, Public Enemy, and rabble-rousing punks the Lambrini Girls.

Portola Fest

Where: Pier 80, San Francisco, CA
When: Sept. 20-21

Not to be outdone by Outside Lands, the Goldenvoice-promoted event features one of the more eclectic bills of festival season. Alternative dance giants like LCD Soundsystem, Chemical Brothers, Duke Dumont, combined with Gen Z favorites the Dare and Magdalena Bay, and turn of the century pop icon Christina Aguilera, give Portola a bill unlike anything out there. Plus, nestled on Pier 80 during the Bay Area’s best month for weather, the two-day event is the place to dance yrslf clean while basking under the glow of the Pacific sun.

Riot Fest

Where: Douglass Park, Chicago, IL
When: Sept. 19-21

Celebrating its 20th year following a year that saw it deal with its fair share of issues (mainly on-again, off-again location battles with the city), Riot Fest roars back with one of its strangest lineups – in a good way! Where else can you see Jack White rock, Weezer revive its Blue Album show while the “new” Sex Pistols, Jawbreaker, Marky Ramone Plays the Ramones, and Bad Religion keep the fest’s punk cred? Add to that a stage curated by “Weird Al” Yankovic (!!!) and outside-the-box bookings of the Mike Love-led Beach Boys and Hanson (Yes, that’s right, “MmmBop” Hanson), Rico Nasty, and the Linda Lindas kicking ass, and you have one of the best fests of 2025.

Louder Than Life

Where: Highland Festival Grounds, Louisville, KY
When: Sept. 18-21

Long the centerpiece of the Danny Wimmer Presents empire, this year’s Louder Than Life is easily one of the best heavy festivals in the world. Spread across six stages with 160 bands performing, highlights include the resurgent Deftones, Bring Me the Horizon, Slayer (performing a year after weather caused them to cancel their set), Avenged Sevenfold, mysterious masked sensation Sleep Token, Rob Zombie performing Astro-Creep 2000, and hardcore heroes Knocked Loose’s triumphant homecoming. Along with a steady dose of bourbon and beer flowing, and reunions such as Acid Bath, Crossfade, and LetLive, fans better have their earplugs ready, with the festival’s name being precisely what you should expect.

Ohana Festival

Where: Doheny State Park, Dana Point, CA
When: Sept. 26-28

Imagine sitting at a park, and on a beach, sipping a Mai Tai or cold beer with 16,000 of your closest friends while a beautiful late September ocean breeze crinkles the air? That, my friends, is Ohana Festival. The Eddie Vedder-helmed event stands out not just for being Gen-X and family-friendly, but also for not being beholden to the festival-industrial complex. Sure, frequent 2025 festival headliners Green Day and Hozier appear, but there’s also Eddie Vedder and the Earthlings’ only show of the year. Add to that artists like Wet Leg, Garbage, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Leon Bridges, Stereophonics, and Vedder pals Kings of Leon — what better way is there to celebrate the beginning of fall than with a lineup featuring the past, present, and future of rock?

Austin City Limits

Where: Zilker Park, Austin, TX
When: Oct.3-5, Oct.10-12

Since its 2002 inception, Austin City Limits has cemented itself as not only the most relevant festival in Texas but also as the unofficial end to festival season. Also, there’s nothing that screams the beginning of autumn quite like sitting in the idyllic Zilker Park with its crisp air, surrounded by ravenous Texas Longhorn fans huddled around TVs watching their football team take on their Red River rivals, Oklahoma. Taking place over the first two weekends of October, as usual, ACL has two slightly different lineups that make each weekend special. As the spiritual home of behemoth festival promoter C3, ACL’s weekly lineup tweaks go a long way in creating a different event. Outside of the main headliners and most of the lineup, weekend one features Maren Morris, Phantogram, Hotline TNT, and Modest Mouse, while Pierce the Veil, Bilmuri, Zed’s Dead, and Rilo Kiley drop in for weekend two.

Ethel Cain Can Make Huge-Sounding Pop Songs – I Just Wish She Did It More Often

ethel_caine(1024x450)
Getty Image/Merle Cooper

Hayden Anhëdonia is a master mythologist. As the creator of Ethel Cain, pop music’s reigning undead goth princess, she signaled a vibe shift away from the nonstop millennial moralism of the Trump 1.0 era and toward something darker, sicker, and more immersive. Her 2022 debut Preacher’s Daughter is one of the decade’s genuine left-field hits — possibly the pop cult success of the 2020s, so long as Chappell Roan no longer counts as a cult hero — and the single “American Teenager” remains a stirringly subversive spin on post-Taylor Swift coming-of-age anthems. In an era where “empowerment” and “trauma” became overused buzzwords in album PR announcements, Anhëdonia stood out with songs drenched in cannibalism, murder, and sexual perversity, among other transgressions.

There are, however, limits to her virtuosic prowess for spinning beautiful BS. For instance: In a recent interview, Anhëdonia claimed that she watched Twin Peaks while making her new album, Willoughby Tucker, I’ll Always Love You. Nothing surprising about that — few musicians of her generation are better suited for the adjective “Lynchian” than Anhëdonia. However, she insisted that this was her first time watching the iconic television series. And, I’m sorry, but even in the fanciful world of Ethel Cain, that statement strains credulity. It would be like if Quentin Tarantino declared that he caught his first Scorsese movie just last week.

Then again, it’s possible that Anhëdonia hasn’t studied Twin Peaks as closely as I assume. Along with co-creator Mark Frost, David Lynch pulled off two very different feats with that show. On one hand, he crafted something wholly unlike anything on television, a meditation on moral corruption and small-town secrecy that indulged fearlessly in atmospheric and semi-subliminal visual abstractions. On the other hand, Twin Peaks also worked as conventionally satisfying television, with well-written characters and a compelling mystery that captured the cultural zeitgeist. To make a musical analogy: Twin Peaks functioned as both an experimental ambient record and an easily accessible pop tune.

Striking that perfect balance has been a challenge for Anhëdonia — if she’s actually interested in that balance. “American Teenager” proved that she’s capable of dominating the “easily accessible pop tune” lane, and Willoughby Tucker similarly frontloads the pair of captivating singles released prior to the album release, “Fuck Me Eyes” and “Nettles.” The former track is another variation on the “Hot Topic Taylor Swift” vibe of “American Teenager,” with cinematic lyrics about a lusted-after sweetheart who “goes to church straight from the clubs” and “looks just like her mama before the drugs.” (Like Lana Del Rey, Anhëdonia can play with redneck tropes in a manner that both highlights their camp silliness and red-meat Pavlovian resonance.) The latter song, meanwhile, more or less resembles a straightforward country-pop ballad, albeit one laced with spectral synth lines played on the same keyboard used by the late Twin Peaks composer Angelo Badalamenti. (It also features the album’s best storytelling lyric: “We were in a race to grow up yesterday / Through today, ’til tomorrow / But when the plant blew up, a piece of shrapnel flew and slowed that part of you.”)

While those songs were used as teasers to draw listeners to Willoughby Tucker, they aren’t really representative of the overall record. “Dust Bowl” is more indicative — a glacially paced mood piece trained on a sadomasochistic relationship dynamic (“I knew it was love / When I rode home crying / Thinking of you fucking other girls”), it’s noticeably stingy when it comes to dishing out dynamic musical morsels. It unfolds largely as an unchanging block of sound, where the appearance of a distorted guitar riff at the song’s midpoint feels like a drop of water in an arid desert. It hits hard, but it’s not enough.

Anhëdonia’s albums are never lacking for backstory. She’s described Willoughby Tucker as a prequel to Preacher’s Daughter that delves into the Ethel Cain character’s titular high school sweetheart. As she explained to The Guardian, it’s set in 1986 (five years before Preacher’s Daughter) and concerns the teenaged Cain “trying to navigate her first love in a broken world in a broken town.” The problem is that the story is much clearer when Anhëdonia talks about it interviews than when you’re listening to her music. As is the case with all concept albums, the particulars of the plot matter less than communicating a certain essence to the listener. And on Willoughby Tucker, that essence often seems hazy and not fully baked.

I wrote favorably about Cain’s previous release, the 90-minute so-called EP Perverts, which arrived in January as a strident anti-fame provocation. However, I admired it more as a gesture than as music — her willingness to tweak the expectations of her audience felt courageous given the aggressive push for pandering fan service in all corners of streaming-dominated media. But after Willoughby Tucker, I’m starting to wonder if she has a misplaced sense of where her strengths lie. A lot of her new album, supposedly the “pop” follow-up to the experimental EP, deals in the same sort of elongated instrumentals that populated Perverts. Between them, “Willoughby’s Theme,” “Willoughby’s Interlude,” and “Radio Towers” drone on for nearly 20 minutes, despite having severely limited melodic ideas. What’s worse is that she also saddles her pop songs with that same room-tone bloat, seemingly out of the misguided belief that it makes her music more profound or momentous. Album closer “Waco, Texas,” for example, would have been a perfectly good power ballad if it lasted eight minutes (about as long as “November Rain”) instead of 15. But on Willoughby Tucker, more often means less.

Once Anhëdonia gets over her Twin Peaks phase, I hope that someone can point her to another classic of teenaged angst and monumental dread, Disintegration by The Cure. Like David Lynch, Robert Smith has a gift for larger-than-life romantic doomerism. Like Hayden Anhëdonia, he also loves long, scene-setting instrumentals, like Disintegration‘s entry point “Plainsong.” But the main reason why Disintegration became part of the “cool weird kid” syllabus is that it also has multiple hit singles, including “Lovesong,” “Pictures Of You,” “Fascination Street,” and “Lullaby.” It’s unrelentingly bleak and highly tuneful. Anhëdonia has already shown an ability to make songs that sound just as huge. I just wish she would allow herself to do it more often.

Willoughby Tucker, I’ll Always Love You is out now via Daughters Of Cain Records. Find more information here.

Latto Pays Tribute To ATL Rap Royalty In Her Long-Awaited ‘Chicken Grease’ Video

It has been a while since Latto officially released the full-length version of her T.I. tribute, “Chicken Grease,” on the deluxe edition of her third album, Sugar Honey Iced Tea. That didn’t stop her from finally releasing a music video for it to celebrate the album’s one year anniversary, complete with Latto showing off her culinary skills, twerking on an ATV, and yes, rapping in a tooled-up Chevy alongside the man whose 2003 hit she sampled for “Chicken Grease.”

But hey, you just knew T.I. was going to make an appearance. Not only is he Atlanta rap royalty as one of the godfathers of trap music (arguably even giving the subgenre its name with the title of his second album), but “Chicken Grease” samples the lead single from Trap Muzik, which put T.I. on the mainstream map. Aside from all the commonalities, T.I. has been instrumental as a mentor in the careers of many of Atlanta’s hottest young stars, whose number includes Latto.

In addition to marking the anniversary of Sugar Honey Iced Tea‘s release, Latto also shared the link for limited edition S.H.I.T. vinyl which includes the standout track. The strategic release is just one of the many reasons Uproxx advised, “[Latto] belongs in the conversation about the best rappers out today, and she’s making sure you never forget it.”

You can watch Latto’s “Chicken Grease” video above. You can find the special edition Sugar Honey Iced Tea vinyl here.
