BALMING TIGER DROPS FRESH SINGLE ‘KAMEHAMEHA’
Seoul-based collective Balming Tiger has released its new single “Kamehameha” and announced its debut album January Never Dies, scheduled for release on 19 October. A diverse music collective taking its name from the famous Asian ointment Tiger Balm, Balming Tiger describes itself as a “multinational alternative K-pop band” with a desire to create an impact globally and carve a uniquely captivating lane for K-pop. The main creative vision of Balming Tiger is to reflect and represent the younger generation of today’s society, aiming to further popularize hyper-expressive Asian youth culture throughout the world while drawing inspiration from a wider spectrum of global influences. Bouncy and playful, “Kamehameha’s” experimental soundscape pays homage to the Korean drinking game of the same name, simulating the light-headed, overconfident experience of being heavily intoxicated. The track is produced by bj wjwn and features vocals and melodies by sogumm. The track’s stripped-back composition varies from previous singles, providing another stylishly diverse addition to the collective’s expansive discography. The AI-inspired single artwork and surreal, cinematic music video were created by Balming Tiger’s visual artist Chanhee Hong. This is the fourth single to be unveiled from its forthcoming album, following the widescreen “SOS” in April, the radiant “Trust Yourself” in January and “SEXY NUKIM” in September of 2022 featuring RM of legendary K-pop band BTS, which achieved record-breaking results including reaching #1 on Billboard’s ‘World Digital Song Sales’ chart. The music video for “SEXY NUKIM (feat. RM of BTS)” has surpassed 16 million views. Balming Tiger consists of performers Omega Sapien, sogumm, bj wnjn and Mudd the student (who recently appeared on South Korea’s most popular music TV show SMTM, garnering millions of views), producers San Yawn and Unsinkable, video directors Jan’ Qui and Leesuho, DJ Abyss, visual artist Chanhee Hong and writer Henson Hwang. Each artist in this ensemble expresses a different artistic identity and energy, as well as a wide range of versatility in crafting the group’s distinct visual world. This year, Balming Tiger will cap off its world tour in Bangkok, Thailand, at the Maho Rasop Festival on 2 December.

Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr join Dolly Parton on ‘Let It Be’
Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr have joined Dolly Parton in recording a version of the Beatles classic "Let It Be" on the country legend's upcoming album. The track was released on Friday and will feature on the 77-year-old Parton's upcoming album "Rockstar." "Well, does it get any better than singing 'Let It Be' with Paul McCartney who wrote the song?" Parton said on her website. "Not only that, he played piano! "Well, it did get even better when Ringo Starr joined in on drums, Peter Frampton on guitar and Mick Fleetwood playing percussion," she said. "I mean, seriously, how much better does it get? Thanks guys!" "Rockstar," Parton's 49th album, will be released on 17 November. It features her renditions of 21 pop and rock classics along with nine original songs. According to Billboard, other rockers joining Parton on the album include Elton John, Sting, Lizzo, Pink, Debbie Harry, Steve Perry, Steven Tyler, Stevie Nicks, Pat Benatar, Joan Jett, John Fogerty, Miley Cyrus, and Ann and Nancy Wilson. The "Let It Be" rendition is a rare collaboration between the two surviving Beatles, Billboard said. McCartney, 81, joined Starr, 83, in 2020 for a song on the drummer's album "Zoom In," it said, and Starr made a surprise appearance in 2019 at one of McCartney's concert tour stops.

Doja Cat recreates personal paintings in ‘Paint The Town Red’ music video
GRAMMY award-winning global superstar Doja Cat has released her new single and music video “Paint The Town Red” via Kemosabe Records/RCA Records. The music video, directed by Nina McNeely and Doja Cat herself and shot in Los Angeles, is based on three paintings that the artist designed. Each one of the scenes in the video is a recreation of the paintings. Last month, Doja Cat painted the artworks on her Instagram Live as she chatted with fans and previewed her new song. This is the first official single from Doja Cat since she announced her first North American headline tour, The Scarlet Tour, beginning this fall with special guests Ice Spice and Doechii. Before this, she dropped her track and video “Attention” to critical acclaim, with Rolling Stone calling it “scorching.” Doja Cat was also featured on the cover of V Magazine last month for “The Global Music issue.” Earlier this year, she was featured alongside label mate SZA on the remix of her #1 Hot 100 song “Kill Bill”. She was also named one of Time100’s Most Influential People of 2023, gracing the cover of one of four global Time Magazine April issues and performing at the exclusive Time100 Gala. With over 20 billion worldwide streams to date, Doja’s creativity and showmanship as a performer have been praised time and again. Her Grammy-winning album Planet Her came out in June 2021 and dominated the charts, debuting at #1 on the Billboard Top R&B Albums chart and #2 on the Billboard Top 200 and Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and generating the highest first day Spotify streams for an album by a female rapper.

Nothing compares to her: Irish singer Sinéad O’Connor dead at 56
Acclaimed and controversial Irish singer-songwriter Sinéad O’Connor has passed away at age 56, her family announced in a statement. “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Sinéad. Her family and friends are devastated and have requested privacy at this very difficult time,” the statement said. The cause and time of death was not released to the public. O' Connor is best known for her now-classic rendition of Prince’s “Nothing Compares 2 U,” which catapulted her to fame when the song topped worldwide charts and was named the number one world single in 1990 by the Billboard Music Awards. But she will also be remembered for a deeply divisive gesture: In 1992, she infamously tore up a photograph of Pope John Paul II in an episode of Saturday Night Live to protest against the Catholic Church’s silence on child abuse cases. Born in Dublin, O’Connor made a mark not only as an accomplished artist but also for being outspoken and provocative throughout her career. She rocked a signature shaved head, wore bold and eccentric clothing and never backed down from her fierce, unconventional persona. She released 10 studio albums, beginning with The Lion and The Cobra (1987), which charted internationally and gave her her first Grammy nomination for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. Her second studio album, I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got (1990), was O’Connor’s breakthrough as a singer-songwriter, gaining critical raves and selling over seven million copies worldwide. Through her sophomore album, O’Connor made legendary musician Prince’s song “Nothing Compares 2 U” into her own, and with it, she became the first woman to win the Video of the Year honors at the MTV Video Music Awards on 6 September 1990. The album also earned three Grammy nominations. However, despite being nominated for the music industry’s highest awards, she became the first artist to criticize and boycott the Grammys, claiming that it measured artists’ worth based on commercial success alone. In later years, the Irish star opened up about her struggles with mental health. O’Connor went on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2007 and revealed her struggles with bipolar disorder and depression. Living through these mental disorders felt like “a bucket with holes in it, just leaking tears from every pore,” she said. In her 2021 memoir Rememberings, O’Connor recalled that she suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder due to the physical abuse she went through growing up. The tragic death of her 17-year-old son, Shane, in 2022 added to O’Connor’s struggles, leading her to seek immediate medical care for herself.

TONY BENNETT : GRIT AND GRACE
Tributes have continued to pour in for Tony Bennett, the last of the great mid-20th-century American crooners who died on 21 July at 96, after outliving his fellow giants in popular music such as Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin and gaining a whole new generation of fans in the era of social media with his number-one duets album with Lady Gaga. That 2014 late-career triumph had made Bennett, at 88, the oldest living American performer to notch a number-one album on the charts. It was more proof at the time of the extraordinary odds-defying grit that undergirded the grace and elegance of Bennett’s persona as the living embodiment of classic American standards, a sound that in the post-rock era many had banished to the dismissive-sounding “adult contemporary” category. Sinatra himself crowned Bennett as “the best singer in the business” in a 1965 interview with Life magazine. “He excites me when I watch him. He moves me. He’s the singer who gets across what the composer has in mind, and probably a little more,” said the Chairman of the Board. Fifty-eight years later, Elton John, decades and a whole music era removed from Sinatra, was moved to say at Bennett’s passing: “Without doubt the classiest singer, man, and performer you will ever see. He’s irreplaceable.” Indeed, Bennett was sui generis, from his singular sound to his defiant artistry. “Neither a fluid singer nor an especially powerful one, he did not have the mellifluous timbre of [Bing] Crosby or the rakish swing of Sinatra,” wrote the New York Times in its obituary. “If Louis Armstrong’s tone was distinctively gravelly, Mr. Bennett’s wasn’t quite; ‘sandy’ was more like it.” You can hear that sandy rasp even in his early, ebullient years, in signature hits like “Rags to Riches,” “Cold Cold Heart” (originally a country ditty by Hank Williams, remade by Bennett and sublimely covered 51 years later by Norah Jones), and of course, his timeless “I Left My Heart in San Francisco.” Touch of roughness The touch of roughness was what gave Bennett’s sound a rich, warm quality sort of like the hiss and pop of a vinyl record, conveying a more grounded, open-hearted, truthful sense to everything that he sang. In later years, as his lung power diminished with age, he cannily pruned his singing to a more direct, compact style, the belts now occasional but always at surprising moments, the lovely loping line maintained along with the heartfelt near-whispers. He kept to that sound and refused to change his style in the face of the sea change in popular music that would engulf his generation of swinging, jazzy entertainers. “Mr. Bennett stubbornly resisted record producers who urged gimmick songs on him, or, in the 1960s and early ’70s, who were sure that rock ’n’ roll had relegated the music he preferred to a dusty bin perused only by a dwindling population of the elderly and nostalgic,“ wrote Bruce Weber in the New York Times. Eight decades Time an unprecedented eight decades in the business some 20 Grammy awards, and the reverence of his peers and the public ultimately proved Bennett right: that his music still had a place in the modern world, that he could stick to what he did best — sing like nobody else the Great American Songbook, that canon of masterworks by the likes of Jerome Kern, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, Harold Arlen — and people of whatever stripe and age, undeterred by his gentleman’s suit and courtly manners from a bygone age, would sit and listen. Because great songs are great songs no matter the era, and as he once put it, “I wanted to sing the great songs, songs that I felt really mattered to people.” Asked if he ever got bored of his repertoire, Bennett said: “No. Do you get tired of making love?” “I was taught never to compromise; to never sing a cheap song,” he explained. “I never look down at the audience and think that they are ignorant, or think that I’m more intelligent than they are.” Bennett said these words in 2012, when, at 86, he had just released a new album, was doing grueling concert tours, and was also dabbling in painting in his free time. His historic 11 o’clock peak was two years away — the Cheek to Cheek album with Lady Gaga that made him an octogenarian with a number-one album on the Billboard 200 chart. (Attesting to his longevity and range, before Gaga he had collaborations as well with other epoch-defining female performers such as Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand.) “Here I am today, at 86, and I’m even more passionate now than ever before. I feel that I’m at the top of my game, and things just keep getting better and better,” he said with characteristic cheer in his 2012 book Life Is a Gift: The Zen of Bennett. In announcing Bennett’s passing on Friday, the Twitter account under his name revealed: “Tony left us today but he was still singing the other day at his piano and his last song was ‘Because of You‘, his first #1 hit.” What grit. What grace. The post TONY BENNETT : GRIT AND GRACE appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
Unstoppable Taylor Swift becomes first woman with 4 albums on U.S. Top 10 at once
Taylor Swift has become the first woman and only the third artist ever to have four albums in the Top 10 of the US Album chart at once. Swift’s latest album, Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), debuted impressively at the top of the Billboard 200 chart, selling an outstanding 716,000 album-equivalent units in its first week. This achievement not only makes it the highest-selling album of the year thus far, surpassing all other releases in 2023 but also marks the best-selling week for any album since her previous release, Midnights, in October 2022. In a rare feat, the Grammy-winning artist has made history with a series of chart-topping albums. With Lover at number seven, Folklore at number ten, Midnights at number five, and now Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) at number one, she has achieved an unparalleled feat that establishes her as a powerhouse in the music industry. This remarkable achievement makes Swift the first woman in history to have four albums in the Top 10 since the charts’ inception in 1963. It also makes her the first living act in nearly six decades to accomplish this feat, a record previously held by Herb Alpert with his albums Going Places, Whipped Cream & Other Delights, South of the Border, and The Lonely Bull. After Alpert’s passing in 2016, Prince left an indelible mark with five albums in the top 10: The Very Best of Prince, Purple Rain, The Hits/The B-Sides, Ultimate, and 1999. Alongside this exceptional achievement, the singer-songwriter has also earned her 12th number-one album with Speak Now (Taylor’s Version). She now holds the distinction of having the most number-one albums by a female performer, surpassing the previous record set by Barbra Streisand, who has 11 chart-topping albums to her name. Swift’s albums dominate the list of the top five biggest debuts in the past five years, claiming four out of the five spots. Adele’s highly anticipated 2021 album 30 lands in the fourth position, narrowly ahead of Speak Now (Taylor’s Version). With its release, Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) has not only achieved the distinction of being the biggest debut among the three re-recordings Swift has released thus far, but also marks another milestone in her campaign to re-record all of her albums originally produced under her former label, Big Machine. She now holds the distinction of having the most number-one albums by a female performer, surpassing the previous record set by Barbra Streisand, who has 11 chart-topping albums to her name. Following its release in late 2021, Red (Taylor’s Version) took second place with a debut of 605,000 units. Meanwhile, the initial release in the series, Fearless (Taylor’s Version), had a more modest debut with 291,000 units in early 2021, partly due to the unavailability of the highly sought -after the vinyl version at the time of its general release. Nonetheless, like the rest, it secured the top spot on the charts effortlessly. On 7 July, the American singer-songwriter released the remake version of her third studio album titled Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), which includes popular hits such as “Mine,” “Dear John,” “Back to December” and “Ours.” This release consists of 22 songs, including six tracks “From the Vault,” adding to the excitement surrounding the new album.

Taylor Swift sets women’s record for most number one albums
Taylor Swift now has more number one albums than any other female artist in history following the recent release of "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)," Billboard said Monday. The record debuted at the top of the Billboard charts, becoming the pop queen's 12th number one album and surpassing Barbra Streisand for the most among women. For male performers, Jay-Z and the Beatles both have over a dozen number one albums, though Billboard notes it has changed its album ranking system over the decades to include anthologies. Swift, 33, has also become the first living artist in nearly 60 years to have four albums in the top 10 at the same time, the organization added. They include "Midnights," "Lover" and "Folklore." Billboard said Swift had also become the first living artist to have 11 albums in the top 200 simultaneously. Swift's record-breaking feats come as she performs many of her best hits on the fan-frenzied "Eras" tour. The 106-date stadium concert series kicked off in March and is within striking distance of becoming the first billion-dollar tour. "Speak Now" was originally released in 2010. Swift has vowed to re-record her first six albums so she can control their rights -- a process she was contractually allowed to begin in November 2020. She has also re-recorded "Fearless" and "Red." Last October, Swift became the first artist ever to simultaneously nab all 10 spots on the top US song chart after the release of her tenth studio album "Midnights."

Foo Fighters’ ‘But Here We Are’ tops global charts
The Foo Fighters’ 11th album, But Here We Are, unanimously hailed as one of the band’s strongest to date, has become its 10th album to break the Top 10 of the US Album Chart. But Here We Are also marks the Foo Fighters’ sixth UK number one, ninth Australian number one, number one spots in Switzerland and New Zealand and Top 5 debuts in nearly a dozen more territories. [caption id="attachment_149397" align="aligncenter" width="525"] DAVE Grohl of Foo Fighters.[/caption] Released 2 June on Roswell Records/RCA Records, But Here We Are has landed at number eight in its first week on the Billboard 200, while entering at number one on the Alternative and Hard Rock album sales charts. The new album’s Top 10 debut continues a trend that began with the back-to-back Top 10 positions achieved by The Colour and the Shape (1997) and There is Nothing Left to Lose (1999), and has since included the number one charting Wasting Light (2011) and Concrete and Gold (2017), as well as the Top 3 placings of One by One (2002), In Your Honor (2005), Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace (2007), Sonic Highways (2014) and Medicine at Midnight (2021). Billboard called the album “a moving collection that balances raw emotion with the band’s signature determination to see the light through the darkness”, while the New York Times described the melodies as “soaring and anthemic as they’ve sounded in years.” The Foo Fighters’ But Here We Are is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment.

South Korea celebrates 10 years of K-pop megastars BTS
Fans of K-pop megastars BTS flocked to hotspots around Seoul on Monday to mark the supergroup's 10-year anniversary, with South Korea unveiling a special commemorative stamp series to celebrate. The group's fans -- known collectively as ARMY -- gathered outside the offices of its agency HYBE to take selfies and record TikTok videos in front of a huge mural of the stars being painted on a wall. Korea Post unveiled a special edition series of stamps in BTS's honor set to go on sale at post offices Tuesday -- the official anniversary of the septet's debut -- having already sold out almost instantly online. "Obviously BTS are global superstars, but we didn't expect the stamps to be sold out on the day of the online release," a Korea Post official told AFP. After debuting on June 13, 2013, the group went on to become the first all-South Korean act to dominate the US and UK charts, raking in billions of dollars and building a global fandom in the process. "Many ARMY BTS fans have asked for the release of BTS stamps, and we also wanted to issue stamps for these global artists for their 10th anniversary," Kim Mi-hwa, Korea Post stamp designer, told AFP. The band -- currently on a hiatus, with two members performing their mandatory South Korean military service -- released a new digital single last week to celebrate the anniversary. The single, "Take Two", is purportedly a nod to the band's second chapter after a decade as musicians. Fans from around the world traveled to South Korea to celebrate the anniversary, with the Seoul city government running a special program for the visitors. "It's thrilling to be here. It's thrilling to be surrounded by other ARMY," scientist Anne Micic, 55, a BTS fan from Australia, told AFP. "I think that's the other thing, that as an ARMY when you meet other ARMY it's almost like you have another family, which is really awesome." A handwritten letter by J-Hope, who began his military duty in April, was uploaded Monday on Weverse, the worldwide fandom network. The letter appeared to have been prepared in advance for the anniversary before he joined the military. "I assume I'd be very military-disciplined" by the time the letter is revealed, he wrote. "No matter what day it is, I sincerely thank you and love you," he told fans. 'BTS saved my life' A special map released by the city government for fans visiting from abroad features 13 locations across the South Korean capital. It includes agency HYBE's office in Yongsan and the historic Gyeongbok Palace, where BTS filmed a special edition of the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Fans said it was worth traveling so far to honor their favorite band. BTS "really saved my life", Claudia Agustin, 23, a fan from Indonesia who works in accounting, told AFP in Seoul, adding that their lyrics had spoken to her during difficult periods of her life. She said she was "really, really proud" of the group's 10-year anniversary. "I know how they've been struggling from back in their debut days and then they really make it big. Now everyone really knows them," she added. Starting Monday, important tourist spots across Seoul, including the Namsan Seoul Tower and Dongdaemun Design Plaza, will be lit up in purple -- ARMY's color -- in celebration of the anniversary. BTS members who are not doing their military service yet have been busy with their solo careers -- with Jimin releasing his six-track solo album "Face" in March. It is likely part of a carefully planned strategy, experts said. "The most significant part of BTS' 10th anniversary is that they're still here and together as BTS," Jeff Benjamin, Billboard's K-pop columnist, told AFP. "Every male K-pop group will need to pause or transition due to South Korea's mandatory military service but not every group is adequately prepared as BTS has with preplanned music and content that holds significant meaning. "Even the new song itself 'Take Two' speaks specifically to this new chapter of BTS with their fans," Benjamin added.
