Bayonne Announces New Album Temporary Time, Shares “Right Thing”: Stream
Austin electronic artist Bayonne has announced his third studio album, Temporary Time. The LP is out May 26th via Nettwerk, and along with the news, he’s shared first single “Right Thing.” “To me the overall narrative of Temporary Time is the events following my Dad’s cancer diagnosis in early 2019,” Bayonne said in a statement. “The record explores the emotional journey we went through as a family coming to terms with his declining health. Not every song covers this, but that presentiment is lingering in the back of my mind through it all.” Bayonne continued, “During much of the recording process, I was in a pretty deep state of depression, which is pronounced throughout some of the lyricism. I started focusing on my mental health and things eventually became much easier for me, but ...
Björk Shares Volcanic Video for “Sorrowful Soil”: Watch
Björk is keeping the momentum going on her new album Fossora: Today, the art-pop legend has shared the transfixing new music video for the album highlight “Sorrowful Soil.” Björk shared in an Instagram post that, along with the single “Ancestress,” “Sorrowful Soil” is one of two songs on Fossora about her late mother. While “Ancestress” was her own take on “funeral music,” “Sorrowful Soil” focuses more on the period of time leading up to a loved’s ones imminent passing. “when my grandfather passed away there was a pamphlet at the hospital advising relatives how to talk to loved ones before they pass away,” the Icelandic musician went on. “i loved how it went really generic and universal and said that all of them will give families to-do-lists (dry-cleaning and such) but also ask ...

Björk on “Gray Area” of Cancel Culture: “If You Cancel Everyone, That’s Not a Solution”
Björk has addressed the hot-button topic of cancel culture in a new interview with The Atlantic, during which she spoke about the nuances of giving people the opportunity to “evolve and grow and learn.” After The Atlantic staff writer Spencer Kornhaber brought up the seeming impossibility of compromise in the extreme sociopolitical climate of the United States, Björk suggested that we think about the future we want for the children of today. “I think it’s more about the future and where we’re going,” she said. “Take the heat off the moment, because it’s unsolvable.” She continued by advocating for the possibility of growth for younger people who make mistakes. “If you cancel everyone, that’s not a solution,” the Icelandic singer said. “Especially with younger males, they have to have ...
