Tayla Parx Reveals New Song “Residue”: Stream
Ghostwriter turned solo artist Tayla Parx has shared the new song “Residue”. It’s the latest single from her forthcoming album Coping Mechanisms, which drops on November 20th. After penning hits for Ariana Grande, BTS, Janelle Monáe, and Panic! at the Disco, Parx experienced a breakthrough in 2019 with her debut album We Need to Talk. But success comes with stress, and as the title of Coping Mechanisms implies, the songwriter has spent the last year working on herself. “Residue” wrestles with unhealthy attractions. Parx sings, “Baby you’re a thought/ A thought that’s stuck to me like glue/ No matter what I do/ You leave your residue (doo doo).” In a statement, she explained the impetus to write “Residue” and analyzed her own “avoidant” behaviors. She said, ‘It’s about one of thos...
Here’s Why Jacob Tremblay Was ‘Nervous’ to Play Justin Bieber in ‘Lonely’ Music Video
“It definitely feels really weird to say it, because it just sounds like it shouldn’t be happening but, I am in a Justin Bieber music video, which is something I would have never seen coming,” he told the publication. He explained that after the pop star’s team reached out about the role, the two agreed to chat on the phone to answer some of Tremblay’s questions. “We kind of organized that we would call each other some time, but we didn’t really get an exact time, so he ended up calling me when I was in the grocery store… I was like, to my parents, ‘I have to go outside because Justin Bieber’s calling me.’” Tremblay went on to reveal that he was “nervous” about starring in the video, because he “had actually never played a real person before.” “I’v...
The Lincoln Project Shares Powerful Music Video to Demi Lovato’s ‘Commander in Chief’
Demi Lovato unveiled her political stance in her new song “Commander in Chief,” and now the Lincoln Project is building on the track’s emotional message. The anti-Trump political action committee shared their own music video for the song on Thursday (Oct. 15), and shows clips of the devastating effects from the president’s mismanagement of the coronavirus, of people on ventilators in hospitals and families with masks only able to talk to each other through glass doors. The scene then turns to the Black Lives Matter movement, as thousands of protesters took to the streets across the nation to demand justice for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and more who have been killed at the hands of police. The vignette ends on an uplifting note, with people of all races, ages and ...

5 Best Moments From MTV Unplugged Presents ‘Miley Cyrus Backyard Sessions’
1. The Britney Spears cover Cyrus strutted onto her at-home stage looking like an 80s dream in a flowy zebra-print dress, matching gloves, big black-and-white sunglasses, gold accessories and, of course, her blonde mullet and a red lip. She kicked off the show with a rocked-out rendition of Spears’ 2007 hit “Gimme More.” The dark twist on the mid-2000s pop track was made complete with Cyrus’ characteristic rasp and Southern twang. 2. Nico’s “These Days” Following the grit of “Gimme More,” Cyrus smoothed it out with a breezy cover of Nico’s 1967 track “These Days.” Surrounded by palm trees with red paper hearts hanging from the leaves and the sunlight shining behind her, the singer had us holding onto summer as she sang...
Chaka Khan Says She’s Done Collaborating With Other Women — Even Ariana Grande
Chaka Khan has no interest in collaborating with her fellow female singers anymore, according to a very candid new interview. While chatting with VladTV (watch below), the legendary singer told host Luenell which artists she would consider working with. But when Ariana Grande‘s name was mentioned, Khan brushed her off. “She’s all right, she’s good on her own. … Plus, I don’t want to sing with another woman. I ain’t got nothing to say with a woman.” What makes Chaka’s answer especially surprising is that the pair just teamed up last year on “Nobody” for the 2019 Charlie’s Angels soundtrack, which Grande co-executive-produced in 2019. In a red-carpet interview for Variety‘s&n...
20 Questions With Sasha Sloan: Creating Her Debut Album in Quarantine & The Movie That Makes Her Bawl
1. What’s the first piece of music that you bought for yourself, and what was the medium?

The first concert I saw was Britney Spears at the TD Garden in Boston when I was in the first grade. 3. Who made you realize you could be an artist full-time? Regina Spektor.

This might sound bad but I don’t really set goals for myself. My motto is keep your expectations ...

This song brought us so much closer together. And it was just he’s really opening up on this and he’s super vulnerable. “We were just talking about we all play this Superman every day,” he continued. “I’m sure you do for your family, for your friends, and everyone’s counting on you for so many things. You do a lot of stuff for a lot of people and sometimes you get f—ed up. I know for sure it doesn’t matter. You do. I do. We all...
