Norah Jones recently teamed up with Questlove and Christian McBride for a cover of The Staple Singers' "Why Am I Treated So Bad."

The pair joined Jones as guests while recording the latest episode of her podcast "Playing Along."

The episode also features the trio's collaborative covers of D'Angelo, Pops Staples, and Kris Kristofferson, among others.

Jones has shared a video of her on piano and vocals, Questlove on drums and McBride playing double bass.

"We were talking earlier about the steady gig - all those steady gigs you played in hotel lobbies and restaurants and bars, that's where we all got our training," McBride said. "I've always been too pragmatic. As a bass player, my thing was always 'Do whatever you have to do to keep the gig.' I was less worried about individualism - just don't get fired, that was always my thing."

"This was a really fun time for me. It was like a dream, like, 'Should we just make an album? Why are we all here?' [.] It was a pretty great episode," Jones said about Playing Along Podcast Episode 27.

Grammy-award winning German popstar Kim Petras recently surprise-dropped her previously shelved and partially leaked debut album, Problematique.

The 10-track album includes "All She Wants" featuring Paris Hilton, "Treat Me Like a Ho," "Born Again," and the title track. All of the songs are co-produced by Dr. Luke, Aaron Joseph, and Vaughn Oliver.

Several tracks from Problematique leaked online last year. At the time of the leak, Petras asked her fans to enjoy "the leaks" since her new music was in "limbo."

"I'm not getting to put out any music anyways I'm f****d," Petras wrote at the time, before deleting the tweets. "I'm devastated idk how all of this happened and I just wanna quit."

Meanwhile, Petras is embarking on a 34-date world tour beginning later this month.

Ariana Grande and her estranged husband, Dalton Gomez have officially filed for divorce, according to TMZ.

According to the report, Grande filed first in Los Angeles County court on Monday, September 18, citing "irreconcilable differences." Gomez filed shortly after with the date of separation logged as February 20, 2023.

In July, news broke that Grande and Gomez were parting ways after two years of marriage.

After 11 months of dating, Grande announced their engagement on December 20, 2020. The pair tied the knot on May 15, 2021 in a private ceremony at her home in Montecito, California.

Since their separation, Grande has been rumored to be dating her Wicked co-star Ethan Slater. Slater, who starred on Broadway as the titular character in the SpongeBob SquarePants musical, was previously married to singer Lilly Jay.

ESPN's "Monday Night Football" broadcast opened with a new music video featuring eight-time Grammy Award winner Chris Stapleton, entertainment icon Snoop Dogg, and world renowned-drummer Cindy Blackman Santana reimagining Phil Collins' megahit "In the Air Tonight."

Monday night's premiere of "In the Air Tonight" cover by Snoop and Stapleton ahead of "Monday Night Football" adds to the television franchise's "Two Games, One Night," special presentation. Santana plays drums on the new version of Collins' 1981 hit song.

The new open kicked off "Monday Night Football" games on ESPN and ABC on Monday, September 18th.

It will continue for all "Monday Night Football" games, ESPN's Week 18 Saturday Doubleheader, Super Wild Card, and its first Divisional playoff game.

"Heavy Action," the iconic Monday Night Football theme music, was played following the new open, leading into Joe Buck, Troy Aikman and Lisa Salters' call of the game.

"In the Air Tonight," one of greatest songs of all-time, has a deep relationship with football, having been cited as a song that helps players shift their mindset to prepare to compete.

"It was fascinating to me to see how one song could get you in that mode to go kick some tail," two-time Super Bowl champion and Steelers legend Hines Ward said in an ESPN feature about the song.

Blink-182's Tom DeLonge recently shared a trailer for his upcoming directorial debut, Monsters Of California. The UFO-themed film premieres in theaters and on demand on October 6.

As per the Monsters Of California synopsis, "After discovering research left behind by a missing government agent, Dallas Edwards and his misfit high school friends embark on a righteous and dangerous adventure to uncover a paranormal conspiracy in Southern California that brings them face-to-face with some of the government's most guarded mysteries."

"The film takes my fascination with the unexplained, combines it with the skate culture I grew up a part of, and tosses in my ridiculous sense of humor that millions got to witness during my blink-182 days," DeLonge said in a statement.

He added, "In recent years, I've had the good fortune of helping the government remember how much they care about UFOs through the work we do at To The Stars, and it's that experience which helped inspire this movie. I can't wait for audiences to see the fucked up fun adventure these kids go on."

Monsters Of California features an original film score composed by Ilan Rubin and produced by DeLonge and Aaron Rubin.

Duran Duran recently shared the official music video for their latest track and album namesake Danse Macabre.

With creative director Linc Gasking at the helm, this new clip showcases cutting-edge, AI-driven techniques, resulting in a 3D animated masterpiece.

Speaking about the video, keyboardist Nick Rhodes reveals, "I like the idea that if you can imagine something you can make it come to life, well at least in animated form. With the Danse Macabre video we did exactly that. We began by deciding who would be on the ultimate Halloween party guest list, then a selection of witches, mythical beasts, vampires and demons were rapidly developed, using the latest AI animation techniques."

"I was truly astonished when I first started to see the results," he adds. "It was something that would have previously taken a team months in an animation studio, but it was all happening almost instantly in front of our eyes."

"Over a period of a few days we created a whole new universe populated with beautifully strange inhabitants to celebrate the release of Danse Macabre, with a gothic dream."

Catalyzed by one special live performance that Duran Duran filmed in Las Vegas on October 31 last year, Danse Macabre is the soundtrack to their ultimate Halloween party.

Danse Macabre will be released on October 27 via Tape Modern for BMG.

Justin Bieber recently took to Instagram Stories to share a behind-the-scenes look at the recording of his part in SZA collab "Snooze."

Bieber posted the clip soon after SZA released the stripped-back version of the S.O.S. hit.

Bieber's clips show him running through different vocal takes and moving the microphone in what looks like a stunning home studio.

"Okey dokey artichoke-y," Bieber is seen saying in the first clip as he gets his microphone set up.

The second clip shows Bieber belting out a part of the chorus, singing, "I can't lose," although he seemed slightly frustrated at not hitting the desired note. He remarked, "F---," before attempting the chorus once more, eventually nodding in approval, saying, "That 'I can't' was good, I guess."

In another clip, he sang the lyric, "Home when you're not here," another part of the chorus and contributed some impressive runs and background vocals to enhance the duet.

"Snooze" earned SZA her second No. 1 on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart, topping the list dated July 1. The song also gave SZA her second career No. 1 on the Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay tally.

Avril Lavigne have teamed up with All Time Low for a new song, "Fake As Hell."

"'Fake As Hell' is a song about recognizing what's real and saying goodbye to what's not - it's about cutting ties with people and things that don't lift you up and help you progress," said All Time Low's Alex Gaskarth.

He added, "It's a wave goodbye to whatever's in the rear-view mirror and a new perspective on the road ahead. Collaborating on this one with Avril is a dream realized, and getting to watch her do what she does best in the studio was crazy inspiring."

Lavigne released her latest album, Love Sux, in 2022.

"Fake As Hell" follows All Time Low's album Tell Me I'm Alive, which was released in March and includes the singles "Sleepwalking" and "Calm Down."

All Time Low is currently on tour with Gym Class Heroes, Grayscale, and Lauren Hibberd.
