Eminem’s alter ego Slim Shady has been around since the start of his career, but it seems he’s getting ready to kill him off. The Grammy-winning rapper announced the release of his next studio album with the cryptic title The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace).

Eminem teased the release of his new album during the NFL Draft in Detroit, where he shared a short video that sees a true crime reporter discussing the events that led to the murder of Slim Shady

“Through his complex and oft-criticized, tongue-twisting rhymes, the anti-hero known as Slim Shady has had no shortage of enemies. The same rude lyrics and controversial antics may have ultimately led to his demise,” says the reporter in the video.

Eminem’s long-time collaborator 50 Cent also makes a cameo, saying that Slim Shady is not a friend, but a psychopath. Eminem makes a brief appearance at the end of the video, claiming “I knew it was only a matter of time for Slim.”

The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace) will be Eminem’s first studio album since Music to Be Murdered By in 2020. It debuted atop the Billboard 200, making him the first artist with ten consecutive No. 1 albums in the US, and produced singles “Darkness”, “Godzilla” ft. Juice Wrld, and “Those Kinda Nights” ft. Ed Sheeran.

Deep Purple have been one of the most influential heavy metal bands in the world for decades, and they still have a lot left to say. The hard rock legends announced the release of their next studio album =1, which will hit the shelves later this summer.

It’s been three years since the release of Deep Purple’s covers album Turning to Crime, and they’ll soon be back with some new material. The band’s next LP will be released on July 19 via earMUSIC, and its title =1 holds a special meaning for the band.

“The enigmatic title =1 symbolizes the idea that in a world growing ever more complex, everything eventually simplifies down to a single, unified essence. Everything equals one,” reads the statement on their official website.

Deep Purple also revealed that their new album “embodies the essence and attitude of their 1970s incarnation possibly more than any other album in recent memory”, adding that the producer Bob Ezrin helped them evoke their classic sound, without relying too much on nostalgia.

Deep Purple are planning to share more info about =1 by the end of the month – the first single and official album teaser will hit the shelves on April 30.

Imagine Dragons teased their next era with their latest single “Eyes Closed”, and they finally made things official! The band’s sixth studio album Loom is hitting the shelves this June, and they’ll celebrate its release with a massive tour across North America.

Imagine Dragons made an epic comeback with the genre-defying single “Eyes Closed” earlier this month – and there’s more where that came from! They officially announced the release of their sixth studio album Loom, which will be released on June 28 and feature a total of ten songs.

Imagine Dragons also shared a cover of their new album, which perfectly sums up its themes, according to the band’s frontman Dan Reynolds.

“You can’t really tell if it’s a sunset or a sunrise, and then there are two people kind of separated standing in front of it. That really kind of sums it up thematically when I listen to it, Is the beginning of something new, or is this the end of something?” Reynolds told The Associated Press.

Imagine Dragons are planning to celebrate the release of Loom by taking it on the road this summer. Their biggest North American headlining tour to date will kick off in Camden, NJ on June 20, and they’re planning to wrap it up with a concert at Los Angeles’ iconic Hollywood Bowl on October 22.

The release date of Billie Eilish’s new album is just a month away, and expectations are running high! Shortly after announcing the release of Hit Me Hard and Soft, the Grammy winner decided to share another crucial piece of info with her fans—the album’s official tracklist.

Eilish announced Hit Me Hard and Soft earlier this month, and its tracklist was leaked by Rolling Stone story after the album announcement. She slammed the magazine for posting the tracklist before she was ready to share it with the world, thus disrupting her vision for the album rollout.

Eilish eventually decided to take things into her own hands and revealed that Hit Me Hard and Soft will feature a total of ten brand-new songs. “Skinny” will serve as its opening track, and it will be joined by songs “Birds of Feather”, “Wildflower”, and “L’Amour De Ma Vie”, among others.

Eilish previously revealed she’s not intending to release any singles ahead of the album’s release. She described Hit Me Hard and Soft as a “diverse yet cohesive collection of songs, ideally listened to in its entirety from beginning to end.”

Hit Me Hard and Soft was produced by Eilish’s brother and frequent collaborator Finneas O’Connell, and it will hit the shelves on May 17.

It’s already been four years since the release of Deftones’ last album, but its follow-up seems to be just around the corner. The frontman Chino Moreno discussed their plans for the future at Coachella and revealed they have a whole new album already recorded.

Deftones hit the Outdoor Theatre stage at Coachella this past weekend, and Moreno dropped hints about their new music while chatting with KROQ.

“We have a whole record recorded all musically. And it’s pretty much my job right now to finish up the vocals… We’re not really in a rush. We want it to be great. I think that’s most important. But it is coming, and, yeah – it’s really good,” said Moreno.

Despite already finishing up most of the album, Moreno said they still don’t have “a definite timeframe” for the album’s release. He also said they’re really excited about what they’ve been working on and described their new sound as “invigorated”.

Deftones haven’t dropped a new album since Ohms in 2020, which produced singles “Ohms”, “Genesis”, and “Ceremony”. It was met with critical acclaim and received a nomination for best rock performance at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards. It debuted at No. 5 in both the UK and the US and hit the top ten in several countries around the world.

Dua Lipa’s “Illusion” is definitely the week’s most talked-about new track, and it deserves all the attention coming its way. It’s the third single from her new album Radical Optimism, and it perfectly captures its nostalgic, Britpop-inspired sound.

This week also marked the release of Metro Boomin and Future’s second collaborative album We Still Don’t Trust You, and its title track made it to our list. Speaking of new albums, Maggie Rogers and Girl in Red made a comeback with their latest LPs this week and truly impressed us with their new sound.

It was a great week for female artists overall, and the songs that made the cut cover a wide range of different genres. In addition to Maggie Rogers and Girl in Red representing alternative pop-rock, R&B artists Chlöe, Tinashe, and Willow also made it to our list alongside the rising country star Tanner Adell.

Dua Lipa – “Illusion”

Linkin Park – “QWERTY”

Maggie Rogers – “The Kill”

Girl in Red – “I’m Back”

Future, Metro Boomin – “We Still Don’t Trust You”

The wait for Rihanna’s new album has been so long that even her most passionate fans stopped counting the years, but could we finally get it in 2024? Rihanna dropped some hints about new music in a recent interview and revealed she has “a lot of visual ideas” for her next project.

Rihanna recently sat down for an in-depth conversation with Interview Magazine, and her next album was one of the topics of conversation. She said that her “brain is working backward” on her next album, adding that she’s mostly focusing on “visual ideas” at the moment.

“I usually have the music first, and the music leads me into all of these visual opportunities, and now I’m having all of these visuals, and I don’t have the songs for them yet, but maybe that’s the key, this time. Maybe the visual ideas are leading me to the songs that I need to make,” she explained.

Rihanna also said she has a lot of “random ideas, quirky ideas, things that have nothing to do with me at all” and described her next album as somewhat of a rebirth. She’s been dropping hints about new material for quite some time, but we haven’t seen her release a new album since Anti came out in 2016.

Adele was forced to cancel a series of Las Vegas residency dates due to illness last month, promising she’ll postpone them to a later date. After weeks of anticipation, Adele finally announced that her March residency dates had been rescheduled for October and November.

The concerts in question were supposed to take place on March 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 22, 23, 29, and 30 at The Colosseum, Caesar’s Palace before Adele announced she’d fallen ill. She pushed the dates in question to the weekends of October 25-26, November 1-2, 8-9, 15-16, and 22-23, adding that “ticket holders for the postponed dates will be sent an email regarding their new allocated date.”

Adele initially announced she was pausing her Las Vegas residency in late February, explaining she had no choice but to take a break on doctors’ orders.

“I was sick at the end of the last leg and all the way through my break. I hadn’t quite gotten the chance to get back to full health before shows resumed and now I’m sick again, and unfortunately, it’s all taken a toll on my voice,” explained Adele at the time.

Weekends with Adele isn’t the only residency she has in store this year. She’ll head to Germany for Adele in Munich, which includes ten shows at Messe München in Munich this August.

Hozier’s new song “Too Sweet” became a surprise hit on social media, and it just achieved a milestone only one of his songs managed to reach in the past. It debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming his first song since “Take Me to Church” to make it to the top ten.

“Too Sweet” hit the shelves on March 22, as one of the four songs on Hozier’s new EP Unheard. According to the singer’s statement, this body of work consists of songs “that might’ve made it to the circles of gluttony, limbo, violence, and the outward ‘ascent’… but could not for different reasons,” referring to his latest studio album Unreal Unearth, which drew inspiration from Dante’s Inferno.

“Too Sweet” managed to attract 28.8 million streams, 268,000 in airplay audience, and 4,000 in sales during its first week on the chart, debuting at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It became his second top-ten song on the Hot 100 nearly a decade after his breakout hit “Take Me to Church”, which peaked at No. 2 in 2014.

As for the rest of the Billboard Hot 100 for this week, Future and Metro Boomin hit No. 1 with their latest collaboration “Like That” ft. Kendrick Lamar. Five songs from their album We Don’t Trust You made it to the top ten, including “Type S–T” ft. Travis Scott and Playboi Carti at No. 2.

Dua Lipa’s “Illusion” is definitely the week’s most talked-about new track, and it deserves all the attention coming its way. It’s the third single from her new album Radical Optimism, and it perfectly captures its nostalgic, Britpop-inspired sound.

This week also marked the release of Metro Boomin and Future’s second collaborative album We Still Don’t Trust You, and its title track made it to our list. Speaking of new albums, Maggie Rogers and Girl in Red made a comeback with their latest LPs this week and truly impressed us with their new sound.

It was a great week for female artists overall, and the songs that made the cut cover a wide range of different genres. In addition to Maggie Rogers and Girl in Red representing alternative pop-rock, R&B artists Chlöe, Tinashe, and Willow also made it to our list alongside the rising country star Tanner Adell.

Dua Lipa – “Illusion”

Linkin Park – “QWERTY”

Maggie Rogers – “The Kill”

Girl in Red – “I’m Back”

Future, Metro Boomin – “We Still Don’t Trust You”

WILLOW – “Big Feelings”

The wait for Rihanna’s new album has been so long that even her most passionate fans stopped counting the years, but could we finally get it in 2024? Rihanna dropped some hints about new music in a recent interview and revealed she has “a lot of visual ideas” for her next project.

Rihanna recently sat down for an in-depth conversation with Interview Magazine, and her next album was one of the topics of conversation. She said that her “brain is working backward” on her next album, adding that she’s mostly focusing on “visual ideas” at the moment.

“I usually have the music first, and the music leads me into all of these visual opportunities, and now I’m having all of these visuals, and I don’t have the songs for them yet, but maybe that’s the key, this time. Maybe the visual ideas are leading me to the songs that I need to make,” she explained.

Rihanna also said she has a lot of “random ideas, quirky ideas, things that have nothing to do with me at all” and described her next album as somewhat of a rebirth. She’s been dropping hints about new material for quite some time, but we haven’t seen her release a new album since Anti came out in 2016.

Jelly Roll made quite a splash with his latest album Whitsitt Chapel, and he’s finally reaping the fruits of his labor. The CMT Music Awards returned to Texas this Sunday, and Jolly Roll was crowned as the biggest winner of the night, with three awards.

Jelly Roll was one of the main contenders for the main awards of the night – video of the year. His megahit “Need a Favor” defeated Cody Johnson’s “The Painter” and Kelsea Ballerini’s “If You Go Down (I’m Goin’ Down Too)” to take the trophy home.

Adele was forced to cancel a series of Las Vegas residency dates due to illness last month, promising she’ll postpone them to a later date. After weeks of anticipation, Adele finally announced that her March residency dates had been rescheduled for October and November.

The concerts in question were supposed to take place on March 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 22, 23, 29, and 30 at The Colosseum, Caesar’s Palace before Adele announced she’d fallen ill. She pushed the dates in question to the weekends of October 25-26, November 1-2, 8-9, 15-16, and 22-23, adding that “ticket holders for the postponed dates will be sent an email regarding their new allocated date.”

Adele initially announced she was pausing her Las Vegas residency in late February, explaining she had no choice but to take a break on doctors’ orders.

“I was sick at the end of the last leg and all the way through my break. I hadn’t quite gotten the chance to get back to full health before shows resumed and now I’m sick again, and unfortunately, it’s all taken a toll on my voice,” explained Adele at the time.

Weekends with Adele isn’t the only residency she has in store this year. She’ll head to Germany for Adele in Munich, which includes ten shows at Messe München in Munich this August.

Hozier’s new song “Too Sweet” became a surprise hit on social media, and it just achieved a milestone only one of his songs managed to reach in the past. It debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming his first song since “Take Me to Church” to make it to the top ten.

“Too Sweet” hit the shelves on March 22, as one of the four songs on Hozier’s new EP Unheard. According to the singer’s statement, this body of work consists of songs “that might’ve made it to the circles of gluttony, limbo, violence, and the outward ‘ascent’… but could not for different reasons,” referring to his latest studio album Unreal Unearth, which drew inspiration from Dante’s Inferno.

“Too Sweet” managed to attract 28.8 million streams, 268,000 in airplay audience, and 4,000 in sales during its first week on the chart, debuting at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It became his second top-ten song on the Hot 100 nearly a decade after his breakout hit “Take Me to Church”, which peaked at No. 2 in 2014.

As for the rest of the Billboard Hot 100 for this week, Future and Metro Boomin hit No. 1 with their latest collaboration “Like That” ft. Kendrick Lamar. Five songs from their album We Don’t Trust You made it to the top ten, including “Type S–T” ft. Travis Scott and Playboi Carti at No. 2.
