Marshmello And Brent Faiyaz Go On A Spooky Excursion Through The Woods In Their ‘Fell In Love’ Video

Marshmello and Brent Faiyaz have teamed up for a new heartbreak anthem — only this time, Faiyaz is doing the heartbreaking. Over a simple, rolling, percussive beat produced by Marshmello, Faiyaz reminds someone of his intentions and insists that it wasn’t his fault that she got her heartbroken.

“You ain’t fall in love with me / You fell in love with the man I could be / You ain’t fall in love with me / You fell in love with your vision of me,” sings Faiyaz on the song’s chorus.

Elsewhere in the song, Faiyaz notes that while he considers himself a kind person, he isn’t responsible for the way anyone else feels.

“I can ease your mind if you goin’ through somethin’ / That don’t mean I can cure depression / I free my night if you wanna do somethin’ / But I’m takin’ your direction,” he sings.

In the song’s accompanying visual, Faiyaz is seen going on a drive in the woods with a young woman. They park the car and hang out in the woods for a bit, and while he is protective of the woman, he reminds her not to get her hopes up, in terms of romance.

Russ Steps Into His 2000s Emo Bag With His Cover Of ‘Fall For You’

Russ is known for writing, producing, and engineering all of his own music. But tonight (May 5), the multihyphenate has opted to revisit a late-aughts favorite.

Last month, fans demanded that Russ release a cover of Secondhand Serenade’s “Fall For You” after he had apparently trolled the internet by singing parts of the song in viral clips. He has made good on his word by finally sharing the studio version of the cover.

This version is a little bit more stripped back than the 2008 original, and also features Russ singing in a lower key. However, the R&B sounds blended with the emo element make the cover feel like a whole new song.

“Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you / over again / Don’t make me change my mind / Or I won’t live to see another day / I swear it’s true / Because a girl like you is impossible to find /You’re impossible to find,” he sings on the song’s chorus.

Equally as excited about the cover is Secondhand Serenade himself, who took to TikTok to express his joy over the snippet Russ shared.

“What an honor,” he said.

On “The Formula,” the pop and hip-hop veterans remind listeners of their place in the game. Will experiments with drill sounds as he delivers snappy, clever bars.

Swooping in with some more heat his Wayne, with a verse chock-full of car metaphors

“Call me, ‘Weezy F1’ / My car fly like the Jetson’s / You a small fry, need ketchup / Fall behind or you can catch up / You can fall down or you can step up / Been a long time since I messed up / I told Father Time I’m his step-son,” he raps.

In a recent interview with us, Will pleasantly recalled meeting Wayne for the first time, and described the vibe he got from him.

Ed Sheeran Mourns The ‘End Of Youth’ On A New Song From ‘Subtract’

Grief and loss are recurring themes on Ed Sheeran‘s fifth studio album, . Over the course of the past few years, Sheeran has endured several trying moments. From the loss of his grandmother, his wife Cherry Seaborn’s cancer diagnosis, and the death of his best friend Jamal Edwards, Sheeran has been through the wringer.

But as age-old adages hold, grief is part of getting older, and on one of ‘s most poignant tracks, “End Of Youth,” Sheeran deals with growing pains, as the number of loved ones around him seems to be getting smaller.

“Is this the end of our youth? When pain starts taking over / I just don’t know if I can ever just let it go / Everything’s falling apart, our love is real, it never closes / I guess it’s all part of life, but I can’t help but be alone / We spend our youth with our losing hearts wide open / And in the dark, it’s in the next, the end of youth,” Sheeran sings on the song’s chorus.

While fans will hear several personal accounts from Sheeran over the course of the album, he explained in an interview with Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe that he hopes the music will resonate with fans dealing with various forms of grief.

“I sent this record to the record label, and they were like, ‘Is it a breakup album?’ And it’s not. It’s an album about… grief and depression and stuff,” said Sheeran. “I feel that I don’t want to give too much context and hammer it home…I want people to listen to it and relate it to their own life.”

Ed Sheeran Copes With Different Forms Of Trauma On A ‘Subtract’ Standout, ‘Sycamore’

It’s been a rough week for Ed Sheeran. The “Eyes Closed” hitmaker has spent the last few days in court, fighting allegations of plagiarism on his 2014 hit, “Thinking Out Loud.” It was also revealed that he missed his grandmother’s funeral because he was required to appear in court during that time.

Thankfully, Sheeran won his case today (May 4), and has now dropped his long-awaited fifth studio album, .

The album is Sheeran’s most personal yet, as he endured various life-changing events as he was writing for the album. Over the past year, Sheeran’s wife, Cherry Seaborn battled cancer while she was expecting her and Sheeran’s second child. He describes the events and the accompanying emotions on one of ‘s standout tracks, “Sycamore.”

“Right now in the waiting room, emotions running wild / Worried ’bout my lover and I’m worried ’bout a child / Part of me was always in denial
It’s gonna take a little while,” he sings on one of the song’s versus.

Earlier this week, Sheeran premiered his Disney+ documentary, The Sum Of It All, where Seaborn revealed he wrote several songs in a short amount of time after the album’s primary producer Aaron Dessner sent him various instrumental tracks.

In an interview with Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe, Sheeran explained more about the writing process for the aforementioned songs.

“Aaron will tell you this, but he sent me seven instrumentals one day and I sent them all back in two and a half hours and we have all the time stamps on it,” Sheeran said. “So it was like, and it’s songs like ‘Sycamore,’ which is one of my favorite songs…That’s what I find really uncomfortable about the release of the album is I have no idea. It’s foreign territory for me… even with Plus or Multiply, it’s like you write for three years and you pick the best songs and then that’s the album. Whereas this one, I wrote for a month and all of those songs are coming out. There’s a bonus of the album with eight songs and that’s all that I wrote in that time. And it’s coming out. And it’s not even necessarily a risk because it is what my fans originally liked me for, which was singer-songwriter stuff. Each my albums, I’ve always been like, well, I know I’ve got this and I know I’ve got this and I know I’ve got this.”

Tomorrow, Sheeran will bring “Subtract” to life with the album’s visual component, which will premiere at 11 a.m. EST on YouTube.

Who Dies In ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3’?

[WARNING: this post contains spoilers for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3]

If you’re not already a vegetarian, you might be after watching Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. As one headline accurately notes, the 32nd (!) film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe “deserves a content warning for violence against animals.” What does that mean for our dear friend Rocket Raccoon and his unscannable hands? Well, he (barely) makes out of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 alive, but his animal companions aren’t so lucky.

In flashback scenes, we learn Rocket’s origin story and how he learned to talk and fly spaceships. We also meet otter Lylla (voiced by Linda Cardellini); walrus Teefs (Asim Chaudhry); and bunny Floor (Mikaela Hoover). They’ve been experimented on by the High Evolutionary (Chukwudi Iwuji), and when Rocket learns that they’re going to be killed the following day, he plans an escape — but Lylla, Teefs, and Floor are killed before they can see the endless blue sky. It’s one of the saddest scenes in MCU history.

Less sad is the High Evolutionary’s death, because f*ck that guy.

Other deaths in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 include: Ayesha (Elizabeth Debicki in a wild performance), who gets blown up in front of her literally golden son, Adam Warlock (Will Poulter); War Pig, a robot pig voiced by Judy Greer, which is a fun sentence; and tens of thousands, if not millions of citizens on Counter-Earth. But at least Cosmo is alive (and a good dog)!

So, to recap, all the Guardians make it out of Vol. 3 alive, but the High Evolutionary, Ayesha, War Pig Voiced By Judy Greer, and Rocket’s friends die. James Gunn better turn off his notifications for the Lylla scene.

Dramatic video shows Florida sheriff’s deputy delivering a baby on the side of the road

No mom dreams of delivering their baby on the side of the road. Visions of comfy birthing centers or a hospital room with the OBGYN that you’ve grown fond of are usually the images that come to mind. But not everyone has a delivery in their place of choice, and women that have birthed more than one child typically have faster labors.

People who have a lot of children often know their bodies and sense how quickly their babies might come, so they try to make it to the hospital before things get interesting. A couple in Florida who were expecting their sixth child attempted to head to the hospital before the baby arrived, but the baby had other plans.

Knowing he had to get his wife to the hospital quickly, Luis Lopez pulled over when he saw deputies on the side of the road and flagged them down for a police escort.


Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), the sheriff’s deputy couldn’t provide the couple with a police escort. He called for an ambulance and put on some gloves instead. Good thing, too, because within a few minutes, he was going to be catching a baby and the entire thing was caught on video.

It’s the kind of thing that’s not only intense but incredibly heartwarming. The Hillsborough deputy, Dan “Red” Jones, was extremely calm and used a soothing voice to encourage the mom, but he didn’t skip out on making a joke when he finds out it was the couple’s sixth child.

“Six! Woo, y’all need a better hobby, OK,” Jones joked.

Turns out this isn’t the first baby the deputy has delivered on the job; it’s his third. He also used to work with cattle and helped deliver calves, so he knows plenty about birthing babies—at least more than the average person. Maybe he missed his calling. Either way, he was just who was needed in that moment.

Check out the dramatic video below:

We are pleased to report that Mom and baby are healthy and doing just fine.

Madonna Fans Think The Mythical Biopic Is Back On After She And Julia Garner Were Seen Partying Together

Fans of both Madonna and Julia Garner are in good spirits, as the two appear to have reunited over french fries. Last June, Garner, of Ozark and Inventing Anna fame, was tapped to play Madonna in a biopic based on her life. Several actresses were said to have auditioned to play Madge, including Euphoria‘s Sydney Sweeney and Don’t Worry Darling‘s Florence Pugh.

While fans were elated for the budding superstar to play Madonna, the biopic was revealed to have been indefinitely shelved back in January.

Now, fans are theorizing that the project is back on, after the two were seen partying and sharing fries.

“Glad Madonna 1. Doesn’t hate Julia Garner and 2. Hasn’t locked Julia Garner in a Madonna Biopic Training Camp hell basement,” said one fan on Twitter.

“Does this mean the Madonna biopic is still a go?!?,” said another fan in reaction to the photos. “B*tch we’re Madonna” is pretty clear confirmation, right?”

If the biopic is back on, it’s safe to assume production won’t resume anytime soon. This July, Madonna will kick off her international Celebration Tour, celebrating four decades of hit.

Report: Tom Brady Might Not Call Games For Fox After All

Two years ago, Tom Brady signed a deal with Fox to become their next lead NFL analyst whenever he retired. His deal was a record-setting one, obliterating any other broadcasting contract at 10 years, $375 million.

However, after retiring (again) earlier this year, Brady and Fox both agreed to wait until 2024 to start his deal, allowing the future Hall of Famer to take a year off from football completely, and also learn and get more comfortable as a broadcaster. In the meantime, Greg Olsen will remain Fox’s lead analyst alongside Kevin Burkhardt during the 2023 NFL season, but it’s possible Olsen’s tenure in the lead booth will not just be a stopgap.

Andrew Marchand of the New York Post reported on Thursday during an episode of The Marchand and Ourand Sports Media Podcast that he was now leaning more toward Brady backing out of his massive deal entirely.

Marchand says he’s spoken with some close to Brady recently who noted the former star isn’t sure he wants to commit to the travel schedule of calling games full-time, noting he wouldn’t want to go into it at anything less than 100 percent, which means 4 days on the road each week as opposed to arriving on game day. While that’s not exactly a huge lift for someone making $37.5 million per year, Brady isn’t exactly hurting for money right now and, as Marchand notes, he shares custody of his children with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen.

It was always fairly surprising that Brady agreed to such a long-term deal to be in the booth immediately after retiring, because the travel requirements and general workload is the reason Peyton Manning has turned down every network’s overtures to land NFL broadcasting’s white whale. ESPN finally was able to land him for the Manningcast, but that’s 10 weeks during the season and is done from the comfort of his home (which, the brothers not being in the same room and stepping on each other and guests remains the biggest issue with the show). Brady now seems to be realizing he may also not want to commit to that lifestyle, and will have the next year-plus to decide whether he wants to move forward with his deal with Fox or if he’ll be turning down $375 million.

will.i.am Tells Uproxx About The First Time He Met Lil Wayne Ahead Of Their Collaborative F1 Track

A new summer banger is on the way. Lil Wayne and will.i.am have the formula for a new heater. Appropriately titled “The Formula,” Lil Wayne and will.i.am’s new collaboration arrives ahead of F1 Grand Prix Race in Miami this Sunday.

The single drops tonight at midnight, but ahead of the release, will.i.am spoke with Uproxx about working with Lil Wayne.

Both Will and Lil Wayne have been in the game for nearly three decades. In our interview, Will recalled his first time meeting Weezy and how he had a familiar energy.

He doesn’t quite remember how exactly their first meeting happened, however, Will has nothing but fond memories of Weezy.

“All I know,” Will said, “is that when I first met Little Wayne, I felt like I’ve known him my whole life because he has that ‘this is my cousin, this is my family member,’ vibe. So, I don’t remember the first time. I don’t know if it was in the early 2000s, I just know when I met him, I had the vibe that I’ve known him forever.”

We are just hours away from the new single, but in the meantime, you can check out a clip of the interview above.
