The “Dancing with the Stars” Season 32 finale is the show’s biggest one yet. Not only are five couples vying for the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy for the first time, but the episode will be three hours long. That’s a whole “Oppenheimer,” but just shy of a full “Killers of the Flower Moon.”
The five couples will perform two routines on Tuesday: a redemption dance and the always anticipated freestyle. Jason Mraz will perform three times as he’ll also croon his tune (and Week 1 song) “I Feel Like Dancing” while the tour pros hit the hardwood in a routine choreographed by Mandy Moore.
To fill out the 180 minutes, the finale will also feature all Season 32 couples performing to “Young Hearts Run Free” by Candi Staton and a holiday routine set to Mariah Carey‘s “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town” featuring the song and dance styles of Alfonso Ribeiro,...

Glastonbury Festival has released a new line up poster that shows Lana Del Rey listed higher up than she was in the original version.
The festival recently came under scrutiny after Emily Eavis announced the remaining headliners after Elton John, revealing that no women would headline the event this year.
Guns N’ Roses apparently replaced a female headliner who pulled out, while Arctic Monkeys were also announced to headline the Pyramid Stage.
Lizzo, who will perform ahead of Guns N’ Roses, has been given a double headline billing with the US rock band.
Announcing the news, Emily Eavis preempted criticism of the lack of headline diversity, saying it was “pipeline” problems that related to the all-male headlining line-up.
At the time, many have questioned why Lana Del Rey, who will be playing the festival, wasn’t higher up on the line up posted.

The Glastonbury 2023 headliners have been announced by Emily Eavis.
The festival’s co-organiser shared the news in an article discussing “pipeline” problems related to the all-male headlining line-up.
Joining Elton John will be Arctic Monkeys on the Friday, headlining for their third time, with Guns N’ Roses playing the Saturday slot.
Eavis said that Guns N’ Roses replaced a female singer who “changed her touring plans”.
While Eavis didn’t name names, it’s strongly suspected she was alluding to Taylor Swift, who was originally set to perform in 2020 when the festival was cancelled due to Covid.
However, Eavis expressed excitement about the “Sweet Child O’ Mine” rockers’ Glastonbury debut, telling The Guardian: “They’ll be brilliant and provide something totally different to the rest of the headliners.”
She said that Lizzo will “open” for the band, with the “About Damn Time” singer receiving joint headline billing on the poster.

This article contains spoilers for the first four episodes of “And Just Like That.”
The most striking homage to the legacy of “Sex and the City” in the new series “And Just Like That” lands like a bit of bitter irony, or a joke too caustic by half.
“Sex and the City” ended, in 2004, with a montage of its characters having found fulfillment through romance and, crucially, self-acceptance, all set to the 1980s single “You Got the Love.” Two movies complicated but largely left intact what Candi Staton’s music had underscored; now, though, this anthem plays after the realization that Carrie Bradshaw is, once again, alone. What was once a song of celebration is now an ironic counterpoint to bitter loss. It’s as if “And Just Like That” can’t find its own tone without just reversing what came before.
Carrie’s Manhattan was easily reduced to an endless parade of Cosmos,...

Yola first came into the consciousness of most music fans when she was nominated for a best new artist Grammy last year, among four attention-getting nods she picked up. Come 2022, she’s destined to capture the attention of movie fans when she appears in Baz Luhrmann’s untitled Elvis Presley movie. In Australia earlier this year, she filmed her supporting role as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, one of the recognized progenitors of rock ’n’ roll. Yola has a huge amount of empathy for the historic figure she portrays, who is often characterized as a “beloved” pioneer of the genre.
“Not beloved enough, actually, I’d go so far as to say,” she asserts, voice rising with a polite but properly righteous indignation. “If she was as beloved as she should be, she would have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame way before 2018. It would have been decades ago.

Imagine having your wedding band be none other than Adele. The singer took the stage to celebrate her friend Laura Dockrill’s nuptials at the Mason’s Arms pub in London over the weekend and used the opportunity to possibly annouce a new album this fall.
Adele officiated the wedding of Dockrill and former Maccabees band member Hugo White, and performed “Rolling in the Deep” following the ceremony, as well as covers of Spice Girls’ “Spice Up Your Life,” Candi Staton’s “Young Hearts Run Free” and Beyonce’s “Crazy in Love.

In mid-January 1969, Elvis Presley and his entourage arrived at American Sound Studios in Memphis for a scheduled 10-day recording session with studio producer Chips Moman and Presley’s longtime RCA producer Felton Jarvis. These would be the first sessions Presley had done outside of Nashville or Hollywood since his last Sun Records sessions in 1955 and would take place just weeks after Presley’s triumphant 1968 comeback special. Aired on NBC during the Christmas season, the special fueled a renewed interest in Presley to shift his focus in the studio from movie-soundtrack...

In October 2017, Candi Staton was at a Nashville recording studio, working on a new song called “The Prize Is Not Worth the Pain.” As her band stretched out the disco-funk tune into an extended jam, the singer began improvising phrases and one-liners. At the very end, Staton eventually arrived at the hard, declarative truth she had been working toward the whole time:
“I am somebody,” she growled with a preacher’s conviction, “all by myself.”
When Mark Nevers, Staton’s producer, heard her sing that line, a lightbulb went on.

This unplugged set is the audio companion to Oldham’s new book of the same name – a compendium of lyrics to over 200 songs he’s written for Palace Brothers, Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy and other recording projects over the past 25 years. If he’s not a household name, he’s an indie rock icon and touchstone for 21st century folkies of a certain slant; he’s covered by Johnny Cash, written for soul vet Candi Staton, collaborated with Bjork, and sung backup with numerous top-shelf singer-songwriters.

For a new compilation called Muscle Shoals…Small Town, Big Sound, Tyler put his own bedraggled spin on one of the studio’s most famous exports: “Brown Sugar.”
The Rolling Stones originally recorded the song at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio at the end of 1969, the height of the prolific town’s golden age, for the 1971 album Sticky Fingers. Tyler replaced Mick Jagger’s taut,...

Candi Staton’s career has been full of zigzags since she released her first solo album, I’m Just a Prisoner, in 1970. She was an overlooked southern soul singer, working with producer Rick Hall of Muscle Shoals fame; a dancefloor killer in both discos (“Young Hearts Run Free”) and European clubs (the Source collaboration “You Got the Love”); a gospel singer with a spot in the Christian Music Hall of Fame; and a cause celebre for indie rockers when working with aging soul singers became a fad in the 2000s.

Spotify announced a series of improvements to its free tier at a press event on Tuesday that it says will help boost the number of users on its paid premium service. These include a wide variety of enhancements to its mobile app, including more control over how to explore, more access to playlists and other music, greater recommendations when building playlists, and a reduction in the amount of data it uses. This also includes smaller embellishments such as proactively caching songs that listeners are likely to want to hear based on previous listening habits.
“We know it’s the only way we’re going to achieve our goal of getting billions of fans” on the service, said Gustav Soderstrom, chief R&D officer. “We’re doing this because we know it will drive growth: the better our free experience the more likely it is that free users will become premium users.

Remember that time Don Diablo blew us all away with an amazing new remix? No? Oh, that’s right, neither do I.
It seems like every Edm artist under the sun has remixed something by Florence + the Machine over the past few years, but very rarely do any of them do it justice. The most recent producer to step up to the plate is Don Diablo, who teamed up with new kid on the block Khrebto for this entirely forgettable rendition of “You’ve Got The Love” (which itself is a cover of a song of its namesake by The Source featuring Candi Staton).
Curiously, no reference is even made to the source material on the SoundCloud upload, even though a pitch-shifted version of the iconic vocal in its near entirety sets the tone of the entire track. What Don Diablo and Khrebto do bring to the conversation is an...

Chris Smither: Hundred Dollar Valentine (Signature Sounds)
Surprisingly, this is the first album in Smither's nearly five-decade career to consist entirely of his own songs. It includes new versions of two older ones, both of them dark. The oldest, "I Feel the Same," is a concisely heart-wrenching breakup song that's been covered by Bonnie Raitt, Candi Staton, Esther Phillips, and more, but sounds best in Smither's bleak. "Every Mother's Son," about vigilante terrorists, is even more chilling: "You know you made your son Joseph a dangerous man, / He's gone to town and bought himself a gun [….] Vengeance is mine, he said, come join the fun, / He looked more like a Judas on the run."
Theoretically it's the last song on the album, but -- as though he didn't want to go out on such a downer -- there's a hidden bonus track, a hotel-room rendition of, actually, a third oldie,...
