Selena Gomez covered Lorde's sneaky pop hit "Royals" at a concert last night (August 14) during a concert in Vancouver.

Earl Sweatshirt dropped by Shade 45's morning radio show Sway In The Morning to promote his upcoming album Doris (though, if the rest of the album is as good as "Burgundy", "Sunday" and "Hive" that may be unnecessary). Sway eventually convinced Earl to freestyle and break a promise of "never rapping seriously on the radio," and it was definitely worth it. Read More »

As if Pharrell and Daft Punk needed one more accolade. The "Get Lucky" group teamed up yet again to feature on the cover of the 20th Anniversary issue of VIBE.

If my recent trip to Bonnaroo taught me anything, it's that R. Kelly is the single greatest musician living today. It's not a contest and I'm not kidding. Robert's an R&B madman that can take any idea and make it solid gold (See "Trapped In The Closet," the Isley Brothers saga, the sensual love song he ad-libbed in concert about needing a towel to wipe the sweat from his face). Phoenix's "Trying To Be Cool" was a passable song before Kells got his hands on it. With the help of "Mr. Show Biz" on the remix, the track from Bankrupt! is now great. Read More »
