Movies can get sequels — why not albums? Post-rock band Caroline has announced Caroline 2, a follow-up to 2022’s majestic Caroline. They also released first single “Tell Me I Never Knew That” featuring Caroline Polachek.

As for how the collaboration came together (besides the obvious), Caroline explained in a statement, “We wrote the opening top line together and straight away we thought ‘this sounds like a melody that Caroline Polachek might sing’ in its hooky-ness. We sort of joked that we’d ask her to sing it but didn’t think it’d actually be on the cards, until about a year later when we sent her the half-finished song and she was up for it! Caroline was amazing.”

Caroline continued:

“She wrote a load of extra parts that gave the whole thing such a lift, and then spent a few hours tracking a load of more improvised parts. We were still recording at about 1.30am when we decided to call it, but there was no indication that Caroline was the slightest bit tired or that she had lost any momentum in her ability to sing, even though she’d been singing for about 6 hours. It was an inspiring thing to witness! We did a little bit more re-ordering together with Caroline a few weeks after the session and then the song was finally there.”

You can listen to “Tell Me I Never Knew That” above, and check out the Caroline 2 album cover and tracklist below.

Lil Nas X is in the midst of a medical episode right now, but he’s not letting it get him down.

Last night (April 14), Nas shared a video of himself lying in a hospital bed, starting with him smiling, but the right side of his face barely moves. The rapper says, “This is me doing a full smile right now, by the way. It’s like, what the f*ck [laughs]? Bruh, I can’t even laugh right, bro, what the f*ck? Oh my god. [laughs] So… yeah.” The post is also captioned, “Soooo lost control of the right side of my face [crying emoji].”

Then, in his Instagram Story, he shared a video highlighting the two halves of his face, saying, “We normal over here, we get crazy over here [laughs].” He captioned the video, “I’m so cooked [crying emojis].” In another Story, he added, “Guys I am OK!! Stop being sad for me! Shake ur ass for me instead!” He added in another story, “Imma look funny for a lil bit but that’s it [crying emojis].”

Nas got some support in the comments of his original post, like from Taraji P. Henson, who wrote, “Get well baby.” Garbage also wrote, “Sending you love,” and Niecy Nash commented, “Wishing you a speedy recovery [bandaged heart emoji][folded hands emoji] (this happened to my mom. Hot compress several times a day helps wonders ).”

Lady Gaga delivered a stunning performance during this first weekend of Coachella a few days ago. But, some fans noticed one of her recent releases, last year’s Joker: Folie à Deux accompaniment Harlequin, didn’t make it onto the setlist. So, Gaga responded.

On TikTok a couple days ago, a fan shared a screengrab from Gaga’s Coachella performance, featuring her lying surrounded by skeletons. On the image, Gaga is labeled as “Coachella” while the skeletons are labeled as Gaga projects that weren’t represented in the setlist: Artpop, Joanne, Chromatica, and Harlequin. The user captioned the post, “well Gaga doesn’t remember Artpop and I don’t think she’ll remember Harlequin.”

Well, Gaga herself took to the comments to write, “Harlequin is one of my proudest pieces of production [black heart emoji].”

Some users made note of how Harlequin was the only project Gaga chose to speak up in support of, like one user who wrote, “The fact Gaga didn’t defend the other albums in her comment [skull emojis].” Another wrote, “Girl we know Gaga HATES Artpop.”

Per setlist.fm, Gaga performed 11 songs from Mayhem, four from Born This Way, two from The Fame, two from The Fame Monster, and “Shallow” from A Star Is Born.

Check out Gaga’s full setlist below and revisit our recent interview with her here.

Back in 2022 and well in to 2023, nepo babies in music was all fans could talk about. So much so that several rising recording artists with famous parents decided to lean into the viral discourse. But alternative rock newbie Lexi Jones is not interested in joining the bandwagon.

As the daughter of late music icon David Bowie, Jones wants nothing more than to be detached from his creative legacy. Now that her debut album, Xandri, has been shared to streaming platforms, Jones shut down comparisons to her dad’s famous releases.

Over on Instagram, Jones penned a poignant poem to stress that she’s “not trying to fill his shoes.” But rather forge a musical path for herself.

“I’m the daughter of a legend / But I’m more than just his name / They see the blood, they hear that sound / Yet fail to see me, don’t feel that same,” she opened the piece.

She continued: “They compare me to his heights / Like I’m supposed to reach his light / But I’m not here to chase what’s already been done / By loving what I do, I feel I’ve already won.”

To end the piece, Jones brushed off online pressure to mirror Bowie’s beloved catalog, writing: “But I’ll keep moving, keep doing me / Even when the world is hard to please / I’m not trying to fill his shoes / I’m just trying to find my own peace.”

Over the weekend, Benson Boone set up shop in the desert for Coachella 2025. During the “Beautiful Things” singer used his time on stage to announce his sophomore album, American Heart.

Benson Boone also took a moment to honor one of his musical inspirations–legendary rock band Queen. During Boone’s Coachella 2025 weekend one performance he was joined by the group’s guitarist Sir Brian May as he covered “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

While the moment was magical to Boone, the crowd wasn’t exactly impressed. So, yesterday (April 13) Boone took to TikTok to express his displeasure with the audience’s cold reaction to May’s surprise cameo.

“Me trying to get the crowd at Coachella to understand what an absolute legend Brian May is and the cultural impact he has on music and THE WORLD,” he wrote over a clip lip-syncing to “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

Although Boone did not appreciate the crowd’s response to the duet, May wasn’t phased. In a post uploaded to his Instagram page, May expressed his deep gratitude.

“I’m still reeling from last night at Coachella,” he captioned a photo of them onstage. “Thanks to all of you folks who made it feel so special — you know who you are !!!! And this particular way of concluding Bohemian Rhapsody will be hard to beat in the years to come!!! Thanks. And for Benson and his entire team, I have no words. I’m awestruck.”

Apparently all the Weezer biopic rumors were true. For well over a year, fans of the “Say It Ain’t So” musicians claimed a featured length was on the way.

During Weezer’s performance at Coachella 2025 frontman Rivers Cuomo confirmed a movie documenting the band’s legacy was indeed in the works.

“We’ve been busy making the Weezer movie back in L.A. the last couple of weeks,” Cuomo told the Coachella 2025 weekend one crowd. “But when Coachella called us up, said, ‘Hey Weezer, could you guys make it out for a surprise appearance?,’ we’re like, ‘Heck yeah!’ It feels so good to be here with you guys and let out these emotions.”

This isn’t the first time the band addressed the biopic reports. During their Voyage To The Blue Planet tour, they had a special friend tease the upcoming feature.

“Now, there’s a big fight where Weezer is fighting these big villains,” >Sonic The Hedgehog actor Ben Schwartz told concertgoers. “And what’s going to happen now is they’re going to follow me, and I’m going to be fighting in different areas. And I’m going to say, ‘Someone throws a punch at someone from Weezer,’ and you’ll react to that. And then I say, ‘And Weezer kicks their butt!,’ and you react to that.”

As of today (April 14), Weezer has not shared any further details about the forthcoming film.

Ken Carson promised supporters a new album. Last week, the “Off The Meter” rapper stuck to his word by releasing More Chaos.

Today (April 14), Ken Carson shared another visual in support of the project. With his latest single, “Lord Of Chaos,” Carson’s eerie ethos takes center stage.

The record, which was produced by Outtatown as well as Star Boy, merged sonic elements of the growing rager rap movement and punk rock. Carson’s supporting video for “Lord Of Chaos” matched the record’s cocky lyrics.

“Yeah, I made it out the hood then made out with these hoes / I’m the lord of chaos, I got the mosh pit in control / When I signed to the label, ha, they struck gold / Fresh to death, yeah, I stick out like a mole,” rapped Carson.

Director Nick Spiders intensified the message as Carson performed the track in a moving box truck backdropped by spooky accessories cloaked by strobe lights.

Yesterday (April 13) Post Malone closed out the first weekend of Coachella 2025. The “California Sober” musician’s headlining performance marked an impressive feat in his career. But as he played to the sold-out crowd, Post Malone couldn’t help but think back on his professional journey.

During his set, Post Malone took a moment to address early critiques and not so nice labels including being called a one-hit wonder.

“Lots of motherf*ckers called me a one-hit wonder,” he said. “And I just wanted to say that if you don’t believe in yourself, then nobody f*cking else will. No one can f*cking stop you.”

Posty urged festivalgoers to pursue their passion despite any discouragement they may face.

He closed the motivational speech with a word of encouragement. “I want you to keep doing what you f*cking love and love who you love and love what you love and keep doing it and keep f*cking kicking ass because there’s no one on this f*cking planet that can tell you sh*t,” he said. “It doesn’t matter what you want to do in life… do whatever the f*ck you want to do and do it as hard as you can. Don’t let anybody stop you because nobody can stop you.”

Back in 2016, “White Iverson” was considered to be Malone’s only breakout record. Fast-forward to today (April 14), he now has six No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 songs and three No. 1 Billboard 200 albums.

The Karate Kid completists surely noted that the final Cobra Kai episode addressed a question that lingered throughout the Netflix series. That is to say, we saw the long overdue payoff from Johnny Lawrence’s “You’re alright, LaRusso” from the first movie. The former rivals finally put their lingering beef behind them (for real this time), and the Miyagi-do members largely went out into the the world with Sony being upfront about how Daniel’s story would continue with the Karate Kid: Legends movie, which would presumably take the franchise in an entirely different direction.

However, Cobra Kai creators Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg previously did not hesitate to express willingness for a spin off. Thoughts of a Miyagi-focused prequel (although his backstory honestly appears to have been covered just fine by now) have also surfaced along with several other ideas, but two months after the finale, has there been any movement? Hurwitz recently spoke with The Direct about a slight update:

“I mean, we have a buffet in front of us in terms of what we’d like to do, and it just has to line up with what our partners at Sony and Netflix want to do. There are contemporary spin-offs that take place after the events of Cobra Kai … There are other spin-offs that, you know, we know the audience has been speculating about that took place 100 years ago. We’ll have to see, you know, and everything in between. We’ll have to see which one is the right time and the right project.”

Hurwitz also expressed optimism about more news possibly coming “soon,” which of course does not answer the question of if another show will be greenlit. A few months ago, Hayden Schlossberg also claimed to EW, “We’re definitely closer, but we can’t say anything yet.” In that conversation, Hurwitz did add (of the idea involving “Binary Brothers” Hawk and Dimitri at Cal Tech), “There may actually be a document, a very thorough document.” And of course, Jacob Bertrand once told us that he dug that idea, too.

A quick internet search will reveal that viewers wouldn’t mind seeing followup shows about the various couples (Robby and Tory, Miguel and Sam, Chozen and Kim Da-Eun) on the series, but nah, it’s time to let them go. A more interesting idea involves the Iron Dragons dojo, especially if such a show revolves around Axel Kovacevic (Patrick Luwus) and Zara Malik (Rayna Vallandingham) as leading dojo members. Games Radar noted that Heald, Hurwitz, and Schlossberg have openly acknowledged this possibility, although no confirmation has arrived. Yet. Still, after watching Axel refuse to obey Sensei Wolf’s orders to take Miguel out by targeting a vulnerable spot, he deserves more airtime, right? Send it to the Internets, Netflix.

Karate Kid: Legends comes to theaters on May 30, and Cobra Kai‘s six seasons are streaming on Netflix.
