Jeff Goldblum is getting his bag with acting, of course, but over the past few years, he has also been getting more involved with music. His band, Jeff Goldblum & The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra, has released four albums since 2018, including their latest, Still Blooming, which is out today (April 25).

Given Goldblum’s pop culture connections, he managed to wrangle some cool collaborators for the project, including Ariana Grande, who joins for a rendition of “I Don’t Know Why (I Just Do),” which dates back to 1931.

Goldblum previously spoke about getting Grande and fellow Wicked actor Cynthia Erivo on the album, saying “I just think the world of them. We were on set and I could’ve been intimidated, but they were so warm. Pretty soon I was singing everything from The American Songbook, all of which they knew and joined in.”

Of Grande’s contribution specifically, he noted that he starting singing the song one day and Grande quickly recognized it, telling him that her grandfather used to sing it to her regularly.

Aside from the aforementioned, the new album also features Scarlett Johansson and Maiya Sykes. Previously, Goldblum has also collaborated with artists like Miley Cyrus, Fiona Apple, and Sharon Van Etten.

Olivia Rodrigo is a tireless advocate for reproductive rights. The “Get Him Back” singer donated $2 million from Guts World Tour ticket sales to non-profits supporting women and girls around the world, and she launched the Fund 4 Good initiative to “champion girls’ education, support reproductive rights, and prevent gender-based violence.”

On Thursday, Rodrigo was presented with the Catalyst Of Change Award at Planned Parenthood’s Spring Into Action Gala. When accepting the honor, she said the “greatest privilege” of her career has been the “connection I’ve made with women through my music.”

Rodrigo continued:

“When I play shows, I look out at crowds filled with young girls, and the bond that I feel with them is profound. To be in a space where we can all feel safe to be wild, emotional and carefree is incredibly powerful. And I often wonder, what happens to those girls when they leave those venues? Or their dreams? What kind of world are they returning to? We live in a world that politicizes our bodies and uses harmful ideologies to deny us safety and healthcare. And it breaks my heart to think that because of oppressive laws and outdated policies, some of those girls might not get to follow their dreams the way I’ve been able to follow mine.”

Slowly but surely, Young Thug is revving up his post-jail comeback. The rapper is set to make his return to the stage at Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash festival in June. He has a new album, Uy Scuti, on the way, which he announced recently.

As Billboard notes, there’s speculation that the project could drop on May 9. Whether that happens or doesn’t, at least we have new music: Today (April 25), Thug has shared “Money On Money,” featuring Future.

Thug says on the chorus, “Money on money, these millions, you dig? I’m spendin’ this sh*t on my b*tch and my kids / I’m sittin’ in the Bent’, not the Benz, this motherf*cker pink slip, n****, no rent / I don’t want you goin’ to do nothin’ if I gotta be the one tell you to spin / These f*ck n****s tellin’ for nothin’, and I gotta be the one callin’ ’em friend.”

This isn’t the first new song Thug has appeared on this year, as back in January, he featured, also alongside Future, on Lil Baby’s “Dum, Dumb, And Dumber.” Meanwhile, there’s speculation that Thug and Future may be working on a sequel to their 2017 joint album Super Slimey.

The Mother’s Day holiday is still weeks away. For Kali Uchis the day has an entirely new meaning. As a new mom, the “Sunshine & Rain…” singer will celebrate for the as a first-time mother. But Kali Uchis recently revealed the passing of her mom, which could bring forth another wave of intense emotions.

“For oncе in my life, I’m not alone anymore / See, my hеart had a dream to be a part of a family / Yeah, it took some time but this moment / Was worth all the pain / He’s living proof that dreams do come true / Look at you / I love you so much it hurts / And I can’t stop the tears, my baby’s really here / I love you so much it hurts / He showed me what my life was really worth / Down here on earth / And it hurts,” she sings.

Playboi Carti’s latest album, I Am Music (often shortened to Music), did not arrive when it was initially scheduled. However, when the body of work did drop it had a quickly grabbed the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart.

With the “All Red” rapper teasing his next project, it appears Carti has moved on. But, fans including producer Blaccmass are not ready to do the same. In fact, Blaccmass is expanding the album’s sonic universe.

Over on SoundCloud, Blaccmass let Playboi Carti supporters fully immersive themselves into his reimagination of Music. Blaccmass did not take the easy road. Instead, the recording artist flips each of Music’s 30 songs adding a nostalgic 2000s hip-hop and R&B staples touch.

From example Blaccmass weaves Carti’s “Pop Out” into Shop Boyz’s “Party Like a Rockstar,” “Crush” into Roscoe Dash’s “Show Out,” and “K Pop into Lil Wayne’s “Lollipop.”

Blaccmass’ Blaccmass Is Music mashup is every millennials’ musical wet dream.

Blaccmass’ previous remixes of others tunes grabbed Playboi Carti attention. But the full out mixtape received an early stamp of approval from Carti’s producer F1LTHY.

“I agree with this,” wrote F1LTHY in response to Blaccmass’ question about reworking Music.

Blaccmass’ Blaccmass Is Music is out now. Find more information here.

Megan Thee Stallion was the most mentioned Coachella 2025 artist on X (formerly Twitter), according to the platform. From star-studded surprise cameos and supposed subtle taunting of a foe to her shutting down a romance rumor, the “Roc Steady” rapper gave viewers a lot to discuss.

Shortly after captivating the coveted festival’s massive crowd, Meg announced her next song would be here soon. Today (April 25), not only is Megan Thee Stallion’s latest single “Whenever” available on streaming services, the supporting video has been shared to YouTube.

Heavily coated with the southern imagery and color scheme of her mixtape Fever era, it is clear Tina Snow is back (at least her no nonsense attitude is). On the fearlessly rowdy track, Meg raps: “Twenty-four hours in a day, and the first thing y’all hoes do is start hatin’ / Couldn’t be me, about my breach, in my sleep gettin’ paid / One b*tch, two b*tch, three b*tch, four / Wanna fight me, over my hoe / Wanna see, taste this p*ssy, you might as well let that go / He feelin’ the pimp, he never just stealin’ the drip / He know that that these n****s gon’ hate / He know that you want him, ‘causе you know he f*ckin’ with me / And b*tch, he ain’t takin’ thе bait / Make no mistake, just ’cause I’m cute in this b*tch, don’t mean I won’t run in your sh*t.”

Last month, Megan provided fans with an update on her previously teased project, Megan: Act III. “Act III is being made,” she said. “I’m really just trying to figure out who do I want to do features with at this point in life. I only want to do features with people that … one, I haven’t done a feature with yet, and two, that I listen to on my own time — people that I actually, you know, f*ck with.”

“Whenever” appears to be the single and visual Meg hinted at.

PinkPantheress is one of the UK’s hottest electro-pop exports. While the “Tonight” singer’s tune often transcends geographic boarders, so does she (and not just for work purposes).

On her infectious new Fancy single, “Stateside,” PinkPantheress opens up about her refusal to let distance limit her love.

“It’s freezing outside / I feel my skin tight / My coat is inside, but I look up at you / I tracked your plane ride for when you’re in tonight / Tell me when is the next time I’ll run into you,” she sings.

While the tune is sure to get the dance floors grooving this summer, it does something far more important. “Stateside” guides listeners on an unfiltered tour into PinkPantheress’ gentler side and professional evolvement by way of the transatlantic love affair.

Alongside The Dare, aksel arvid, and Count Baldor, PinkPantheress uses pen and pad to produce the antithesis to her breakout record, “Boy’s A Liar Pt. 2.”

In a statement PinkPantheress echoes this belief. “So excited to share with you my favorite song off of the project, ‘Stateside,’” she said. “It explores my growth as an artist and I hope everyone enjoys it as much as me.”

If at first you don’t succeed, dust yourself off and try again. It seems Joe Jonas has taken those wise words uttered by the late Aaliyah to heart. With the blessing of his brothers (Uproxx cover stars Jonas Brothers) and to the pleasure of fans, the “Work It Out” singer’s next solo venture is on the way.

At the core of Music For People Who Believe In Love is love lessons learned after loss. Today (April 25), Joe Jonas leans further into his romantically optimistic outlook on the project’s latest single, “Heart By Heart.”

Co-written with Lewis Capaldi, Savan, Oscar Holter, as well as Max Gsus, Joe demonstrates that love is a learning process, and he is ready to enroll.

“You and I have been down these avenues before / Keep on going back and forth / Haven’t we baby, Oh my baby / There’s a long road left and a long time to live / You’re the sweetest loving to give / I know cause I’ve tasted it / I would hate you to waste it / So if he don’t ever light your spark / Remember I know your heart by heart,” sings Joe.

The song’s warm instrumental production and deeply intimate lyrical confessions make it hard not to take “Heart By Heart” as a homage to his reported ex-wife Sophie Turner.

Since his breakout single “Beautiful Things,” Benson Boone has become a pop music fixture. But Boone’s ubiquitousness seems to have ruffled a few feathers online. Well, his haters are in for a rough summer.

Today (April 25), Benson Boone shared his latest American Heart single, “Mystical Magical,” a track destined for radio domination.

Although the shimmering new song was initially premiered during Boone’s Coachella 2025 set, supporters outside of the Empire Polo Club grounds couldn’t truly grasp its sparkling energy.

“Once you know what my love’s gonna feel like / Nothing else will feel right / You can feel like / Moonbeam ice cream, taking off your blue jeans / Dancing at the movies / Cause it feels so / Mystical, magical / Oh, baby, ’cause once you know / Once you know / My love is so mystical, magical,” he sings.

Just as his stage costumes shine, so does Boone’s emotional vulnerability making him the perfect heartthrob. Thanks to the production insight of Evan Blair, “Mystical Magical” avoids the pitfalls of most gloom and doom hopeless romantic tunes. Instead, “Mystical Magical” feels like the jittery butterflies in your stomach after locking eyes with a crush.
