Megan Thee Stallion Fully Embraces Being A ‘Lover Girl’ On Her Latest Single

Megan Thee Stallion is back with her next Act III single. While most of the Houston hottie’s discography is marked by her unbothered Southern pimp persona, Tina Snow, her latest finds her fully embracing being a “Lover Girl” after settling down with NBA star Klay Thompson. The new single, produced by Jacobdior, blends the nostalgic ’90s R&B girl pop of Total’s “Kissin’ You” with the upbeat New Orleans bounce of HaSizzle’s “Bounce It.” The result is a sweet and savory mix of sounds, with Megan gushing about “my man, my man, my man, my baby, my baby.”

Although the track might be an emotional departure from Meg’s other recent Act III output, such as “Whenever,” her raps remain as raunchy as ever. “A very freaky girl, you heard what Gucci said / First, I give you my number, then you give me some head,” she proposes in the second verse. Meg’s newfound soft side hasn’t dulled her edge one bit.

“Lover Girl” is the latest sign that Meg’s December promise to deliver the third part of her Megan trilogy in 2025 might become a reality. While we don’t quite have a release date confirmation yet, we do know she’s been hoping to include stars like Doechii and Ariana Grande on it.

You can listen to Megan Thee Stallion’s “Lover Girl” above.

The Neighbourhood Unveil Three New Songs To Announce ‘(((((ultraSOUND))))),’ Their Upcoming Album

The last time we got a new album from The Neighbourhood was in 2020, with Chip Chrome & The Mono-Tones. Half a decade gone as an eternity in modern music terms, but the drought is ending soon: Today (October 24), The Neighbourhood announced a new album, (((((ultraSOUND))))).

They’ve made a splash with the news by sharing three new songs: “Private,” “OMG,” and “Lovebomb.”

A press release describes the album as a “powerful return to the band’s roots” that blends “the raw energy of ’90s alt-rock with a modern, introspective edge,” saying it draws inspiration from “Brit-pop while maintaining their signature California indie sound.” Lyrically, the project is said to be “intimate and self-aware, exploring heartbreak, disillusionment, and emotional vulnerability.”

This comes after Jesse Rutherford released a solo album, Jesse®, last year. At the time, he told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe about his reasoning for making the project and how it relates to the band, saying:

“I just wanted a moment to not have The Neighbourhood be my identity because, and it is, it’s a big part of it and I love that. But I didn’t stop doing the band just because I wanted to focus on me making a solo record. I just knew that was also going to happen while I just did my life. […]

You said something like to the effect of, ‘Why isn’t this a Neighbourhood record? You’ve already kind of established a voice as Jesse.’ I don’t think I have. I’ve established a voice as The Neighbourhood, but all the other projects I’ve done are experiments and this one doesn’t feel like an experiment to me.”

Listen to the new songs above. Below, find the (((((ultraSOUND))))) cover art and tracklist.

Fred Again.. Continues His ‘USB’ Series By Sharing Two New Songs, With Caribou, MC Teteu, And Floating Points

Fred Again..’s constantly evolving USB project is in the midst of a major phase of development. Fred recently announced that he’s once again adding to it, unveiling a giant banner that read, “USB002, 10 weeks, 10 songs, 10 cities,” and he also captioned his post, “this is us for the next 77 days.” We’ve had a handful of new songs so far and the latest is out now.

There are two new songs, actually. There’s “Facilita” with Caribou and MC Teteu, as well as “Ambery” with Floating Points.

Fred recently shared a post in which he talks about how performing and touring has been lately, writing:

“i dont want this to sound in any way like im complaining cos my GOD i wouldnt change a thing for the world and i feel unbelivably fortunate. but yes 1 hundreedddd percent theres a lot of super weird pressures that sometimes come with it that im really very new to navigating really and can get super overhwhelmed by.

and id hate to accidentally be one of those ppl whos presenting things as more shiny than they are ykno. cos sometimes i really dont feel shiny at aaaall!

i think part of it is obviusly jus like if im sad or feeling whatever else, those are often not the moments where im like ‘oh sick i should film this! that would go hard.’”

Young Thug Cries In The Club In His Mopey ‘Blaming Jesus’ Video

Young Thug is a lonely guy. At least, he is in the new video for his Uy Scuti song, “Blaming Jesus.” In the song, Thug confesses that he’s been a not-so-great partner to his lady, while also insisting that he’ll be okay getting dumped. “Baby, I’m sorry, okay / Just say you love me, okay?
You’re stayin’, I’ll be okay / You tired of me, okay,” he croons in the chorus.

Likewise, in the video, Thug is seen moping in a strip club, despite being surrounded by revelers. We also see him go to church, perhaps looking for absolution for his mistakes. The scene also reflects the bars that give the song its title: “I need real love in my face / Peace and blessings on my face / Let my love spread, this ain’t a phase / Blaming Jesus off of my faith.”

Considering the song’s topic, fans have already speculated that the track is addressed to Mariah The Scientist, Young Thug’s ex, who he allegedly cheated on despite her support throughout his recent legal issues.

Although he may have let her down, he doesn’t plan on doing so for his hometown, Atlanta. Earlier this month, he announced a Young Thug & Friends Hometown Hero concert at State Farm Arena. You can find more info here.

Watch Young Thug’s “Blaming Jesus” video above.

Uy Scuti is out now via YSL Records, Atlantic Records, and 300 Entertainment. You can find more info here.

Ari Lennox Announces Her Third Album, ‘Vacancy,’ With The Doo-Wop-Inspired ‘Under The Moon’

After leaving Dreamville Records earlier this year and forging out on her own Interscope Records venture, Ari Lennox has announced the impending release of her third studio album.

Vacancy is due on January 23, 2026, via Interscope Records, and pre-orders are available now. To commemorate the announcement, Lennox released the album’s second official single, “Under The Moon,” which you can listen to above.

The new single continues Ari’s habit of combining old-school aesthetics with her modern sensibilities, borrowing the “doo-wop” sounds from ’50s hits like Paul Anka’s “Puppy Love” and using her hip-hop-inspired songwriting to lend the classic style with contemporary flair.

The first single released was the album’s title track, which was produced by Jermaine Dupri and Brian Michael Cox — the same production team that crafted Lennox’s Platinum single, “Pressure.” Together, both songs promise a compelling evolution of the singer’s silky sound on Vacancy.

Meanwhile, it’s unknown whether songs like “Smoke,” which dropped last October, or “Soft Girl Era,” released earlier this year prior to Lennox leaving Dreamville Records, will appear on the album.

As a longtime fan of Lennox, I’m looking forward to seeing her stretch her wings after the industry gave her a particularly rough last few years. Hopefully, her new situation will lead to smoother sailing, and new career heights — or at least, a much happier and more creatively fulfilled artist.

Vacancy is out 1/23/26 via Interscope. You can find more info here.

Wilco And Billy Bragg Will Give Their First Full Collaborative Performance At Solid Sound Festival 2026

Between 1996’s Being There and 1999’s Summerteeth, Wilco teamed up with Billy Bragg to release Mermaid Avenue. It was an interesting project, seeing the artists take unheard lyrics by Woody Guthrie and building new songs around them. Wilco and Bragg have never actually performed the songs live in a full concert together, though, but that’s about to change.

Wilco’s Solid Sound Festival is returning to MASS MoCA in North Adams, Massachusetts next year, from June 26 to 28. On the opening night, Wilco and Bragg will reunite and perform Mermaid Avenue songs. Specifically, a press release states that “Mermaid Avenue Live” will be “the first-ever full-length concert of music from the Mermaid Avenue songbook,” seemingly indicating that it may also pull songs from Mermaid Avenue Vol. II and Mermaid Avenue: The Complete Sessions, and isn’t necessarily a full-album performance of the original Mermaid Avenue.

Jeff Tweedy said in a statement, “The world needs all the Woody Guthrie it can get. We’re thrilled that we get to bring these songs to life with Billy.” Bragg adds, “There’s an abiding love out there for the Mermaid Avenue albums, so I’m really looking forward to reconnecting with Wilco to bring Woody’s words to life once again.”

No other artists on the Solid Sound Festival lineup have been revealed yet.

Tickets are available now and more information can be found on the festival website.

Foo Fighters Are Back With A New Tour And A New Single, ‘Asking For A Friend’

Last month, Foo Fighters teased a comeback and announced their new drummer, Ilan Rubin. This followed July’s “Today’s Song,” their first new music in two years.

That comeback has arrived: Today (October 23), the band shared an intense new single, “Asking For A Friend.” Dave Grohl also shared a statement that reads in part:

“Since our return to the stage in San Luis Obispo five weeks ago, we have been reminded of why we love and are forever devoted to doing this Foo Fighters thing. From reuniting as a band and staring at a list of 30 years worth of songs to brush off, to reimagining versions with the incredible blessing of the one and only Ilan Rubin behind the drums, to reconnecting with our amazing fans and blasting them with everything we’ve got (no matter the size of the venue) because we would not be here without them, we have the most solid core. And the sun is finally rising over the horizon.

What better way to share the view than with close friends? […]

‘Asking for a Friend’ is a song for those who have waited patiently in the cold, relying on hope and faith for their horizon to appear. Searching for ‘proof’ when hanging by a wish until the sun shines again.

One of many songs to come…”
