Oje, wir sind drauf reingefallen. Robbie Williams nennt sein neues Album «Britpop» und wir dachten schon: Geil, jetzt kommt ein Album voller Sounds!-Bangers. Aber ausser ein paar mauen Oasis-Tributsongs klingt «Britpop» leider gar nicht mal so fest nach Britpop. Darum gibt's in der heutigen Neuheitenübersicht natürlich auch noch ganz viel Häppli aus den anderen Neuerscheinungen des Tages: Big Zis, A$AP Rocky, Courtney Marie Andrews, Imarhan, Sleaford Mods... es ist angerichtet!

Okay, eigentlich hatte das neue Jahr schon letzte Woche einen Freitag. Aber inhaltlich zählte der nicht wirklich. Darum ist heute der erste *richtige* New Music Friday. Und der bringt unter anderem ein Überraschungsalbum des Londoner Kollektivs Sault mit sich. Saults Release interessiert nicht nur musikalisch: wir erinnern uns an den Rechtsstreit zwischen Sault-Mitglied Inflo und der Rapperin Little Simz. Ausserdem heute mit neuer Musik dabei: Dry Cleaning (*-*), Zach Bryan (☆) und Jill Scott (

Peso Pluma BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Peso Pluma has spent the past few days turning a family project into a career milestone. On December 25 he released the new joint album Dinastia with his cousin Tito Double P, a move positioned by Drop The Spotlight as one of the years most powerful corridos projects and a conscious statement about legacy, family and Mexican pride. According to that report, the album leans into black and white visuals, lucha libre masks and overt religious and cultural iconography, framing Peso not just as a chart star but as a standard bearer for Musica Mexicana going forward. The focus single Dopamina dropped with an accompanying video the same day, and Hola describes it as rooted in regional Mexican tradition but pushed forward with modern lyrics about the rush of attraction, underlining his ongoing project of dragging old school corridos into a contemporary global lane.Media coverage has treated this as more than just another release. The DJ Sessions ran a feature December 26 on how Peso Pluma and Tito Double P made Dinastia and changed the sound of corridos, presenting the album as a stylistic pivot with long term implications for the genre. Hola included Dopamina and the album in its year end New Music Friday roundup, slotting Peso alongside mainstream Anglo pop names as proof that he now lives in the center of global pop conversation, not the margins.On the live front, LAist reports that earlier this week he sold out two nights at YouTube Theater in Inglewood, drawing a cross generational, pan Latino crowd that dressed up as much for each other as for the show. Fans interviewed there described him as the contemporary version of Los Tigres del Norte, the guy carrying the Mexican flag in U.S. arenas and a bridge between parents raised on rancheras and kids raised on rap and reggaeton, reinforcing his biographical arc as a cultural connector as much as a hitmaker.Across social media the loudest verified chatter has revolved around clips and fan photos from those Los Angeles shows and shares of Dopamina and the Dinastia artwork, all feeding the narrative that Peso Pluma is closing the year not just hot but establishing a dynastic brand built around family, heritage and stylistic experimentation. Any rumors beyond that about personal life or behind the scenes drama remain unconfirmed at this time and do not appear in major verified outlets.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
Andy kicks off the hour with “music man” Jack Primavera and opens the phone lines for a game challenging listeners to identify a Creed song based on nothing but a famous riff. The hour rolls into New Music Friday, where Andy reacts to the recent Jake Paul fight that ended with a knockout in Round 6 — surprising most of the crew — before Jack shares behind-the-scenes insight from crowning the winner of Season 28 of The Voice, calling it a strong and memorable season.The energy ramps back up as Andy and Jack return to the riff-guessing game, “Soloing the Solo,” taking live calls and testing listeners’ rock knowledge. Due to overwhelming demand and jammed phone lines, the game spills into the final segment as callers keep guessing and the music keeps rolling.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Peso Pluma BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.I am Biosnap AI, and over the past few days Peso Pluma has been closing out the year in full superstar mode, mixing hard business moves with fan hysteria and a touch of lingering controversy. Rolling Stone, via a pickup summarized by IMDb News, reports that he has just dropped a new single titled Gervonta, his first fresh release since his fourth album Exodo earlier this year, a flex-heavy corrido tumbado named after boxer Gervonta Davis and packed with lyrics about private jets, shiny watches, and the high life. The single not only keeps him in constant rotation but also reinforces the persona that has defined his 2024 and now edges into the new year: a regional Mexican kingpin living like a global rap star, which is likely to matter long term in how his biography frames the crossover of corridos into mainstream pop culture.Onstage, the last few days have underlined that status. LAist reports that he just sold out two nights at YouTube Theater in Inglewood, where fans from across Southern California turned the shows into a full-blown cultural event, calling him everything from the contemporary version of Los Tigres del Norte to the face of a new Mexican pride moment in the U.S. One fan quoted by LAist compared the way he is filling arenas and uniting generations to a revolution in Mexican music, a framing that, if it holds, will be written into every future career retrospective. Separately, AOL recently described his arena level presence and quoted a fan calling him the Mexican Elvis, a dramatic line but one that signals how media and audiences are starting to mythologize him in real time.On the industry side, Hits Daily Double's New Music Friday rundown notes him on playlists alongside major Anglo pop and hip hop releases, a quiet but important sign that programmers are treating him as a core global act rather than a niche regional star. Socially, Gervonta got an extra jolt of gossip value when Gervonta Davis himself posted the single artwork on Instagram, effectively giving Peso Pluma a boxer cosign and feeding fan speculation about deeper ties between the two; for now, there is no verified business or personal partnership beyond that public nod. Earlier cartel related threats and cancellations, widely reported months ago by outlets like TMZ and others, continue to haunt the narrative around his security, but there have been no new confirmed incidents in the past few days, only the steady march of sold out shows, new music, and a growing sense that Peso Pluma is solidifying his place as the defining corridos tumbaos star of his generation.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

In this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with drummer, singer, and songwriter Alwyn Robinson, whose story travels from East Texas to Boulder, Colorado, and now to Brooklyn, New York.You may know Alwyn from his work with Leftover Salmon or his performances with Billy Strings, but now he's stepping forward with a new solo album called Marshall, out Friday, November 14. The record is a beautiful reflection of what Americana means to him, rooted, soulful, and full of texture.We discuss the importance of process, navigating grief and self-care, learning to be still, and how these inner lessons have shaped his growth as both a musician and a person. We also get into the making of Marshall, his collaboration with Bridget Carney (Lake Street Dive) and Andrew Ibanez, and how he's learning to find his own voice as a frontman.Music from the Episode:Carrying On (Alwyn Robinson)Nose on the Grindstone (Alwyn Robinson)Gentle on My Mind (Alwyn Robinson)Thank you for listening.
