Paramore Drops Third ‘This Is Why’ Track “C’est Comme Ça”
Paramore on Thursday dropped the third track from their forthcoming album, This Is Why, just one month ahead of its highly anticipated release. Titled “C’est Comme Ça,” meaning “It’s Like That,” the new single follows the record’s previously released title track and “The News.” In a statement about the track, Paramore vocalist Hayley Williams explained, “I’m trying to get un-addicted to a survival narrative. The idea of imminent doom is less catastrophic to me than not knowing anything about the future or my part in it. The guys and I are all in much more stable places in our lives than ever before. And somehow that is harder for me to adjust to.” In an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, she added, “We had a really good time getting back into a little bit of dance-punk vibes. I had...
Moneybagg Yo Enlists GloRilla for New Song and Video “On Wat U On”
Memphis rappers Moneybagg Yo and GloRilla have teamed up for a new cut, titled “On Wat U On.” The track, which marks the first collaboration between the CMG heavyweights, arrives with an official music video inspired by John Singleton’s 2001 movie, Baby Boy. In the visual, Moneybagg Yo and GloRilla recreate heated couple-fighting scenes from the coming-of-age comedy-drama. Moneybagg Yo plays Tyrese Gibson’s Jody, and GloRilla depicts Taraji P. Henson’s Yvette, as the track’s lyrics play into the intensity of their on-screen moments. “Let me know right now/If there ain’t no future us,” Bagg raps on the first verse. “‘Cause, one, too close to zero/Got to keep somethin’ on tuck.” GloRilla takes the second verse: “All that tellin’ folks I’m crazy/Tell ‘em how you got me f***** up/Yo’ mama ain’...
