Backstreet Boys Member Brian Littrell’s Son Will Make His Debut on ‘American Idol’ This Season

Backstreet Boys Member Brian Littrell’s Son Will Make His Debut on ‘American Idol’ This Season

Rania Aniftos (19/02/2025)

The new season premieres on March 9.

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Backstreet Boys superstar Brian Littrell revealed on the Today show that his 22-year-old son, Baylee, will appear on the upcoming season of American Idol.

“He was just texting me last night, going, ‘Dad, dude, how do you do this? Like, it’s hard work,’” Littrell said of his son navigating the music industry. “He’s been busting his butt, and I’m super proud of him. He kind of gets a new sense of reality of what this is.”

Baylee, whom Brian shares with wife Leighanne Littrell, teased his time on Idol via Instagram earlier this month. Well guys recently I had the opportunity to audition for @americanidol Tune in to see the season premiere and what happens on 3/9/25,” he wrote alongside a screenshot of the show’s logo.

Brian sweetly supported his son in the comments, writing, “Bubba I can’t wait!!!!! Good Luck we’re all counting on you hahaha.”

Baylee released his debut single, a country song called “Don’t Knock It,” back in 2018. “My dad has always been my champion, so he’s always told me to just do what I want to do and follow my dreams, and to do my best and not overthink it,” he told People at the time. “It’s really just taken so much pressure off.”

The newest season of American Idol premieres March 9 on ABC, before it streams the next day on Hulu. This season marks the first with season 4 winner Carrie Underwood on the judges panel — replacing Katy Perry — alongside Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie.

JISOO’s Debut Solo Mini Album ‘AMORTAGE’: Every Song Ranked

JISOO’s Debut Solo Mini Album ‘AMORTAGE’: Every Song Ranked

Jeff Benjamin (19/02/2025)

The BLACKPINK superstar delivers sonic surprises, confident vocals and radio-ready tracks to prove her global pop star status.

While the four members of BLACKPINK spent much of 2024 establishing themselves as soloists with new label ventures and partners, JISOO was quieter on the music front with more of a focus on her acting and modeling career alongside her newly established independent agency BLISSOO. Little did we know that the 30-year-old was quietly working on a highly anticipated comeback record, marking the second solo record to drop during the BP women’s next chapter.

Released on Valentine’s Day 2025, AMORTAGE is the four-track EP that JISOO described as a “collection of stories about love — the highs, the lows and everything in between” in a press statement. With the title created as a portmanteau of the words “amor” (“love” in Latin and Spanish) and “montage,” the idea of a range of experiences gives the starlet space to play around with a spectrum of sounds, sentiments and vocal stylings through a mix of English and K-pop cuts.

Lead single “earthquake” aligns JISOO with prime Britney Spears material, while the impressive English tracks “Your Love” and “Hugs & Kisses” paint the picture of an increasingly more confident, globally focused superstar.

Ahead of AMORTAGE‘s release, JISOO announced she had signed a global label deal with Warner Records for her solo music, which will not only help the star reach more people with her music but could offer her additional international resources in terms of A&R and promotion after delivering such a strong solo record on her own. While fans worldwide can enjoy streaming AMORTAGE now, its physical version will be released in the U.S. on March 14, giving the EP even more legs and – hopefully — additional time to push even more songs and material off the record.

Check out our ranking of the songs off JISOO’s AMORTAGE album below.

A$AP Rocky Found Not Guilty in Shooting Trial

A$AP Rocky Found Not Guilty in Shooting Trial

Michael Saponara (19/02/2025)

The rapper had been accused of firing a weapon at his former friend, A$AP Relli, near a Hollywood hotel in November 2021.

A$AP Rocky (Rakim Mayers) has been found not guilty on both counts in the shooting case involving his former friend and associate A$AP Relli (Terrell Ephron).

The verdict, which the jury reached after about three hours, according to The Associated Press, was read in the downtown Los Angeles courtroom at 4 p.m. PT on Tuesday afternoon (Feb. 18).

Upon the reading of the verdict, wild cheers of celebration broke out and an ebullient Rocky jumped over the railing toward his partner Rihanna, who was seated in the audience and has attended multiple dates during the trial, along with Rocky’s mother and sister. After taking his place back at the defense table, the emotional rapper embraced his attorneys and later folded his hands in prayer.

Rocky, who was arrested in April 2022 at Los Angeles International Airport after being accused of firing a handgun twice at Relli near a Hollywood hotel in November 2021, faced two felony counts of assault with a firearm and a maximum of 24 years in prison if convicted. The 36-year-old pleaded not guilty to all charges in August 2022. Last month, he turned down a final plea deal prior to the start of the three-week trial that would have landed him 180 days in county jail. On Feb. 11, the Harlem rapper waived his right to take the stand and testify.

Rocky’s legal team, led by attorney Joe Tacopino, had argued that the weapon in the case was a prop gun filled with blanks, which the rapper fired in an effort to defuse an escalating situation.

This is a developing story.

Rick Buckler, Drummer for The Jam, Dies at 69

Rick Buckler, Drummer for The Jam, Dies at 69

Rania Aniftos (19/02/2025)

The rocker's cause of death has yet to be revealed.

Rick Buckler, a longtime rocker best known as the drummer for legendary band The Jam, has died. He was 69 years old.

The news of his death was announced on X via a heartfelt message from his bandmate Paul Weller.

“I’m shocked and saddened by Rick’s passing. I’m thinking back to us all rehearsing in my bedroom in Stanley Road, Woking. To all the pubs and clubs we played at as kids, to eventually making a record. What a journey,” the band’s vocalist Weller wrote alongside a series of black-and-white photos of Buckler. “We went far beyond our dreams and what we made stands the test of time. … Rick was a good guy and a great drummer whose innovative drum patterns helped shape our songs. I’m glad we had the chance to work together as much as we did. My thoughts are with [Rick’s wife Lesley] and his family at this very difficult time.”

While no cause of death has been revealed, the news comes two weeks after Buckler canceled a spoken-word tour due to ongoing health issues, per TMZ.

The English rock band was formed in 1972 in Woking, Surrey. Buckler was in the original lineup as drummer, and the group released their debut single “In the City” in 1977, and released their debut album of the same name that same year. The band made waves via their political statements, rising up against police brutality, the British government and beyond.

Overall, the group released six albums, their final project being 1982’s The Gift, which peaked at No. 82 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. After a world tour in support of the album, the group disbanded due to a decision from Weller.

After his time in The Jam, Buckler formed Time UK with Jimmy Edwards and Ray Simone, and later formed a new The Jam tribute band called The Gift.

OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder & Leading Punjabi Artist Karan Aujla on Their Historic Collaboration: ‘We Manifested This’

OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder & Leading Punjabi Artist Karan Aujla on Their Historic Collaboration: ‘We Manifested This’

Lyndsey Havens (19/02/2025)

"Anyone who's not paying attention to India or Southeast Asia right now, on a cultural tip, is asleep at the wheel," says Tedder, the band's frontman and super producer.

Six months ago, Ryan Tedder experienced a fortuitous full-circle moment. 

His longtime friend, Grammy-nominated songwriter and producer Savan Kotecha, texted him about an artist he thought Tedder should be aware of: pioneering Punjabi artist Karan Aujla. “He sends me a link and I was like, ‘Yeah, I already know who this guy is,’” recalls Tedder today, sitting in his West Hollywood home studio.

While performing with OneRepublic at the second edition of Lollapalooza India in January 2024, Tedder was asking locals and the band’s promoter “who’s popping” in India. They all mentioned Karan. “I went and listened to the music and I was like, ‘Oh, this is super tight. This is different,’” he says, explaining Punjabi as an Indian language that is emerging as its own subgenre and growing rapidly both locally and globally. At the time, Tedder mentally bookmarked Karan and carried on – until Kotecha came along and filled the gap. 

Kotecha introduced Tedder to Karan’s friend and producer, Ikky, “and that’s where the whole thing connected,” says Tedder. The two met in L.A. and Ikky played Tedder in-progress tracks, including one that was called “Dassde” at the time. “I was like, ‘Oh, this is crazy.’ I asked him what the phrase meant, and he said it means ‘tell me.’ I wish all sessions went that quick.”

“Before this collaboration, Ikky and I always used to talk about how we wanted to do something out here with our music,” says Karan, 28, who is seated next to Tedder while on a quick trip to Los Angeles to shoot the song’s music video. “And then he had mentioned you guys were talking and I thought he was just kidding. Like, it’s not gonna happen. And then I remember being on tour Ikky sends me a rough draft  and the first thing I hear is [Ryan] singing. And then it’s me jumping in with my Punjabi verse. And I was like, ‘Oh shit, it’s a Punjabi-English track.’ I was so excited at that point.”

And now, on Wednesday (Feb. 19), their historic collaboration finally arrives, marking both OneRepublic and Karan’s first English-Punjabi collaboration. The song’s music video, starring Indian actress Disha Patani, is out the same day.

“Sometimes,” Karan continues, “we feel like we manifested doing this with you, Ryan.”

You two just met in person for the first time – what brought you together?

Ryan: We were supposed to shoot the video, [when we] had enough of a finished version [of the song]. We just got back from Asia – we were in China and Vietnam and Japan and Korea, and we started in Bangkok for a few days. [Karan] wrapped his tour in India doing this massive sold out tour. And we were originally going to shoot the video in Little India, in Bangkok, and he got sick. It was the end of the tour. We punted and so we just now shot it this week. 

Karan, you moved to Canada in your late teens. When did you become aware of OneRepublic as a music fan?

Karan: When I heard [hums “I Ain’t Worried”]. Ikky told me, because obviously I’m born in Punjab and I wasn’t aware of how the music worked out here. So, I came to Canada, met Ikky back in the days but before this collaboration me and Ikky always used to talk about how we wanted to do something out here with our music. But just being in Canada, that’s how I heard there’s this band called OneRepublic.

It only took six months for this song to arrive from the time Savan connected you, Ryan, with Ikky. Tell me about that timeline.

Ryan: Initially, we were racing: “Can we get it out in November, December?” I was like, what are we thinking? It’s Christmas. It’s a death trap, you’re gonna get smashed by Mariah [Carey], you’re gonna get smashed by Ariana [Grande], and just all the other stuff. So then we punted to February, which I’m really happy about because we’re going to be back in Asia a couple of times this year and India is going to be part of that. So the time is perfect and this is one of those where it’s like, I didn’t expect to love a bilingual record as much as this. I’ve probably listened to this demo more than anything, honestly, because it just feels good. And I think we’re even talking about doing an English language version as well. Most of our fans don’t speak Punjab.  

Karan, why do you think Punjabi music is up next and, thanks to OneRepublic, catching on in the States?

Karan: I feel like people are more open now, even artists, to new languages, working with people, creating new ideas and it just helps artists like me to bring what they have [to] the table. This is the time for artists like me to actually experiment. My main thing is I just want to make the first Punjabi record that goes everywhere. My Spotify wasn’t like this always. It’s just happening over the last three-four years [of gradual growth]. We can see it happening in front of our eyes; if people want it, why don’t we just serve them what they want? Like, people in India want English on Indian records. They love these collaborations. They love when I’m singing in Hindi or Punjabi and then a verse in English comes. Even some rappers from India are rapping in English and Hindi. People are already into it. And we just need to do it more in a proper way. 

Ryan: And one of the main reasons Punjabi music has exploded, including in cities and regions of India – because Punjabi is from the north – like Bombay, where five years ago, nobody knew what Punjabi music was… 

Karan: They didn’t want to hear it, honestly. 

Ryan: He’s the reason. Honestly, he’s one of the main reasons that Punjabi music has exploded. He was the right person at the right time. Anyone who’s not paying attention to India or Southeast Asia right now, on a cultural tip, is asleep at the wheel.

Karan: Our first thing was to actually take Punjabi all over India. And now, a few songs have blown up in India. And now this song is for the States or any place where they don’t care what language it’s in, it’s just a good song. And that’s all we’re trying to do here, man, and hopefully it’s going to work. 

Ryan: Teach people some Punjabi too. 

Karan: If Ryan understands it… it’s not that hard. Yesterday we made some content for social media and he’s speaking Punjabi fluently. Hopefully, in our next song, I’ll be singing a verse in English and you’ll be singing a verse in Punjabi. 

What are the key production elements of a Punjabi song?

Ryan: In this record there was a learning curve for me. I’ve obviously heard Punjabi music and Hindi music, and musically there’s a lot of similarities in Punjabi and Hindi. The language is different, obviously. But you’re using a tabla. There’s hand drums that are being used, some of which exist in the States, some of which don’t. One of my favorite sections of the whole record Ikky did, which is a drum break in the bridge that’s just a jam, it’s just a dance moment. It’s so festive and full of life and it’s layers of tabla and Indian hand drums and Punjabi instruments. The only time I’ve ever used any of that was if I’m doing Timbaland style hip-hop stuff because he leaned heavy into East Indian and Punjabi instruments. It’s not a mandolin. It sounds like a mandolin to us, but it’s basically an Indian version of a mandolin that’s a key element throughout the whole song. We’re not using a sitar or anything like that, it’s a little too shtick. And then the cadence, it’s all swung. If you think about it, all their music is played by hand. So I used all live kicks when I did the drums. It’s weird to reference, but I was thinking of stuff from like, 10-12 years ago. I didn’t want it to feel too modern. I love Sabrina Carpenter, but we’re not making “Espresso.” It’s a different style. So I had to lean into the cadence of what his verses were and Ikky helped a ton because I was like, “I’m not going to be the white idiot that steps foot into a culture and misappropriates it.” It has to be exact. 

Karan: And the way you did it, it doesn’t sound forced. It’s one of my favorite tracks that I’ve ever worked on. 

Tell me about filming the music video together with the band. 

Karan: It’s like a story of our concert that’s [hopefully] happening in the future, in India… 

Ryan: That’s really what it is. 

Karan: It was two days [of filming] in a row. Kind of tiring, but we made a lot of memories there. I’ll remember that for the rest of my life. 

Ryan: We were in a Hollywood backlot, which was pretty cool. I mean, from my perspective, I was like, this is a Bollywood video. There’s big time elements of Bollywood happening on camera. 

Karan: It’s a mix.

What are your hopes for the song and video once they arrive?

Karan: Honestly, this is just the beginning and I’m just happy that we have this relationship now. I feel this big brother vibe from Ryan and I know if I need some guidance in the future… 

Ryan: Just text. 

Next summer, the goal is I want to go [to India] and be in a taxi cab or a Tuk Tuk and I want to hear this playing somewhere in the streets. 

I’ve had things like this happen once in a blue moon. Everything happened so effortlessly and so seamlessly, including even now, the video getting cancelled and coming together and [getting] Disha who’s massive and just crushed it.  All of those things threaded the needle for a multicultural record like this, it’s so exciting. I know people are going to love it.
